[me.ngi.dam] to crave, to long for, to yearn

I just had my first craving.
My first ‘mengidam’.
Quite an intense one which got me Googling for images of the item.
And my poor husband is frustrated because he can’t fulfill it for me…

I had a yearning for a fresh, hot Krispy Kreme doughnut.

*sigh*

After I forced that out of my head,
(“Silly woman. Macam takder benda lain ko nak mengidam!”)
I had ANOTHER craving.
Again it was intense, and again I resorted to Google.

Thank goodness there’s a Subway outlet in One Utama…

This afternoon, I’ll be wolfing down a foot-long seafood sub.

Can’t wait!

So, now I know that this whole mengidam thing is for real.
To those ladies who are scoffing right now and saying “Ah, mengidam ni ngada-ngada jer”,
I say “You tak mengidam? Good for you. But butt out of MY idamans, ok.”

Pregnancy is unique to each individual.
Some women are fortunate not to experience morning sickness
(Again, good for you, but butt out of MY nausea, ok)

I never thought I’d have a yearning for food.
Especially since the past few weeks I’ve been too nauseous to even think of eating.

But this mengidam thing is for real.
I actually wrote an e-mail to the Krispy Kreme website, asking them when they’ll be opening an outlet here in Malaysia.

There are three ingredients in the good life: learning, earning, and yearning.
