Weekend Bash !


Hello ... Good Monday !

Early this morning we in PM's Department had our monthly assembly. Quite a huge crowd it was, in everyone eyes I could tell that they are hoping for Bonus Annoucement by PM, still it's a secrecy and I do belive that our government need to work on alot to give away bonuses (if any) before Syawal.

Line up along with PM this morning was Dato' Idris Jala, our very own Minister without portfolio. Dress in blue shirt and a compulsory red JPM tie. Personally he gives a good impression on stage and his expression seems like a F1 driver waiting to hit the accelerator .. HARD. Welcome on board Dato'.

So how was my weekend ? Most of the time I spend it on family at home and not forgetting to meet my loyal-full tailor for my new baju melayu .. what colour will I be wearing for this year ? .. Wait and see okey ... On saturday, 2 of my favourite aunties and their family came for break-fast .. wow it was amazing and loud ! Totalling to 8 small childrens aged between 6 to 12 was a handfull, they played, laughed, screamed, running around the pond, spill few glasses, recite the doa' together and the fun part is EATING TOGETHER. I sat in the middle of them all .. not only to be around them more closer but also to babysit otherwise you might get a bunch of flocking drumets !! The food was great and abundance, we had our local dish 'masak lemak cili api', fried chickens (for the kid and Me), puteri mandi, ikan masak asam, and bakso all the way from Jawa (prepared by my aunty's bibik) among others. After prayers, we hit the road and start jumping around with fire crackers .. hahahaha great time !


Last nite, iftar was more poignant as my family and I went to see opah in Kuala Pilah. Opah keep her promise by making me some 'kueh kelopong' also known as 'buah melaka' with gula nau. Question .. Do you know where does 'gula nau' came from ? It came from pokok anau .. my father taught me that pokok anau looks like a coconut tree and palm tree being put together and yes they produce a good sweet 'gula nau' .. a big yes to that ! After the meal and terawih, father gets his bp (blood pressure) pump and portable blood tester on the table. I took advantage of the time and get my glucose level check too. Result shows 4.9 and that is after meal .. wallauweh my blood has low glucose level and it's alarming both my parents and opah as they start asking me to eat this and eat that. It's a major risk for a hypoglycemia like me not getting enough sugar or I'll will end up fainted on low heart beat. Okey better, heavier and sweeter meal next time .. haha such a sweet tooth !
