a not typical saturday

9.30a.m. rise and shine, the sun was already high in the sky. hehe...it was a saturday. let me have some rest lah. it was barbecue pork steamed bun (pau) and my 3in1 nescafe for breakfast. front page news: huiyi got another new heart. (a heart transplant patient who rejected a new heart she received the day before and then there was another one ready for her to) she was really lucky. pray for her to get well.

11.00a.m. ready to leave the house now. uncle kam is back from germany so since i was free, decided to become his driver for the day. went to see my house and then i brought him to have a look at proton city. it had been about 5 years since he last came back.

12.30p.m. reached mrs tan's house in ss14. she is aunt's friend...40 years of friendship. what a coincidence that aunt elaine, carol and mary plus popo made a lunch date with mrs tan so it was like a big gathering of old friends. although we came unannounced, their hospitality and warmth were nothing short. we had mamak style mee goreng and bak kut teh for lunch. (oh, i just miss bak kut teh. yum!). i really dug into my bowl of soup! so full. and then 30 minutes later, they served us coffee complete with different assortments of kuih! how to fill the bulging tummy???
all the kuihs they bought!!! i did not eat any. so bad hor? but i really could not take anything else plus all those coconut milk made kuih are not what i like. so i just finished my cup of hot coffee.

one man and 4 ladies. er...could not get popo who was sitting on the far right into the frame.

3.00p.m. time to say goodbye. it started raining at this time and it got heavier on my way to usj9 to visit rossi's mommy (kien). drove there just to see the 2 dogs (labrador retriever). i had to think of some activities to fill uncle kam's day. he is a big dog lover! he sympathizes all those stray dogs u can find aplenty on our streets. usj9 was chosen as i wanted to pick brother up too so he could come back with us. it was a convenient spot.


uncle with the two dogs: rossi and hercules (a new addition to the house). rossi is the more golden one.
the two dog owners talking about nothing but dogs. (oh, uncle kam had a boxer and dunno what mix back home in germany.) from worms to teething problems. hehe.

5.00p.m. left for tm after picking brother up at the shell station nearby. on the way home, stopped at sg buloh rest area for some satay (hj samsuri kajang sate). it was still early (still fasting time) so the place was quite empty. but was we were finishing our food, ppl had already started coming in booking their places for breaking fast.

7.00p.m. reached home and mom was cooking dinner in the kitchen. bitter gourd omelette and microwaved peking duck uncle kam bought from china. aiyo...ate again. the duck was sooooo salty. not good... so this is one thing you know not to buy from beijing next time. this prepacked one is nothing compared to what you will eat there. nothing!

11.45p.m. time to call it a night but not on my own bed. have to sleep with grandma tonight. room taken and brother's room full. i dun want to wake up early tomorrow!!! but grandma waking up early for taichi! how??!!! and the tummy is still full. burp!

what to do...food is definitely a part of malaysian life and what better way to show your hospitality to your guests but by providing them plenty of food??
