Ramadhan is Back!

The fasting month is back. But from looking at what I ate, I probably took more food in total than usual. I basically just gobble them down as fast as I can come iftar. Yes! It was bad but hey, I was hungry. I just can’t help it.

With Ramadhan, came the bazaar where we head out to the stalls buying food for iftar. As usual, I went to Taman Melawati. The usual suspects were there, most of them recognised me by now. There was the middle age lady selling cucur udang - I went there without fail since 2003. There was also our favourite drink stall - the gentleman mix the meanest air asam boi in town, I kid you not. There was also the guy from Sarawak selling terubuk masin. The Kelantanese lady with Nasi Kerabu. The last but not least, the rocker from Sabah with the tasty chicken wing. Yup! I sampled them all. There are now on the table, and iftar is a good 90 minutes away.

For all my Moslem friends, Salam Ramadhan, Happy Fasting, and good luck with the food! You need luck because most of them looked really nice but one may need to use expletive to describe how they taste!

After visiting sick relative I need to eat

Just returned from visiting a relative currently very ill at IJN. I must say I was very impressed with the level of care offered over there although the nurses were rather smug. The facilities have definitely been upgraded since the last renovation over there. I just hope some of the similar investment willbe put into UMMC as well in the future.

Rock and Roll Baby!

Will be back to work tomorrow but at least I get to enjoy today off still. Had to send my wife's car to the garage. A few weeks back, while driving along MRR2, a small stone came out of nowhere and hit the windshield causing a small chip and a crack. Since the insurance will be taking care of it, we might as well get the whole thing sorted.

Did the usual school run. In the afternoon after doing some chores, we went out again to our usual joint for murtabak and stuffs for iftar. This time around however, Anita was taking a keen interest. And boy, did she shop? Initially, due to her fears about H1N1, she did not even want to eat the stuffs I bought from the stalls. It seemed the other way around now. We spent about an hour walking around, and I had to make a couple of trips to the car to send the shopping off.

Nasi kerabu, as requested by my mother-in-lawA few of the stores caught my eyes and I thought I would include the pics in my upcoming photoblog. I am just compiling the material now and it should be up and running by the weekend. I have yet to purchase the domain name however, as I was toying with a few at the minute. It will unfortunately be flash heavy. That means that it will not run on the iPhone and will take time to load up. I have already completed the infrastructure, so the slides will basically upload itself from my flickr pages, via smugmug.

I discovered this Rock and Roll Grill store right at the end of my round. I wonder what they offer, but will likely visit them again on a later date. I don't have space in my stomach for everything.
