puasa month!!!!

puasa month is going to be over!!! ard 6 days more!!! i love the puasa mth especially the 'pasar ramadan' (ramadan market) where i will go and scout for homecook malay food at the various locations. so i dun really cook much during this mth.

yes, i can cook quite well now compared when i was staying in penang. maybe it's because in sungai petani there's really nothing much to do and one has a lot of free time!!! Boooooooooring!!!! but i have to learn to adapt here. Come to think of it i know that i can adapt well almost anywhere.

my specialties are quite a handful; char kueh teow, bah kut teh with a few side dishes like fish slice in sauce and fried cabbage, hokkien mee (a lot of work esp with the prawn shells) ayam masak merah(malay style) ikan sumbat (fried fish stuffed with sambal) sambal prawns, kueh teow thng.

yes, i wake up very early every day- school days ard 5.15 am ! a time when most of you are in dreamland... i do a bit of hsework-sweeping, moping, having my quiet time and be the alarm clock for my 3 kings. then ihave my bath, go take the newspaper and get ready to go to school! the distance from my house to school is 34km one way. so i send ern to school first, then i am onmy my way to school which takes around 35 mins. it would be faster if not for the pot holes along the way. One has to be careful to avoid the other road users like cats, dogs which you are all familiar with. along my journey to school i share the roads with the likes of monkeys, cows, monitor lizards, kampung chicken and snakes. don't be shockeded!!! hehe
