Happy day!



Mom and her friend had been trying to do some good deed by supplying food to the local mosque for the past few months. They will cook up some delicious food, and pack it up to be passed to the jemaah during the morning usrah.

Hence. since today was Awal Muharram Maulidul Rasul, they were pretty psyched up to supply packed nasi kerabu to the mosque around our neighbourhood. They even went all out as to go and borong the ingredients from the pasar borong at 10 p.m. last Sunday. I was surprised to come home at close to 2 a.m. (after the incident) to find mom in the kitchen cleaning the fishes for the nasi kerabu.

I woke up this morning to the commotion that came from downstairs. It seemed that her 'gang' had decided to camp at our house for the day for the big nasi kerabu project. All the ulam for the 'salad' were spread out on the dining table waiting to be cut/diced. The blue colored rice were already set to cook in 4 seperate rice cookers. The fried grated coconut and the special nasi kerabu sauce (tumis) are ready to be packed.




Although it seems like a tiring chore, all of us actually had fun - talking, laughing, joking around - while we set out packing up the nasi kerabu into small brown packets. Imagine 7 happy ladies in one house, laughing their hearts out to silly kelantanese jokes. Oh it was such a fun moment.

And since it was an off day, I decided to venture to Low Yatt to get all the office supplies for my new job. With an IT expert in tow, I roamed the mall in search of a new laptop, an external hard disk drive and a wireless router. Since I know nuts about all the technical aspects of the inside of a computer, I leave everything to the IT expert to conduct the product analysis. My task was just to dispense out the cash.


So, after 2 hours of gadget shopping, I came back with a brand new laptop!!! Wuhoo...


New job.. new laptop..


What more can I ask for?

doreen:

it sounds so tempting.. but the location is too far away for me to make it on time for the show.. i bet it's gonna be heavy traffic all the way to sentul, especially with heavy rain in the evening..

thanks for the offer dear.. maybe the next time around ok..
:D


mr hobo:
