Kopitiam@SNC

Last Friday, my parents brought me and the kids to a kopitiam situated in a place which used to be my school, St Nicholas Convent, Alor Setar. As soon as we entered the school gate, I was transformed into my own world. I saw girls running around and giggling to each other when all of a sudden, Miss Mak, our headmistress appeared out of nowhere. When the school bell rang, we would then head to our classrooms and enjoy being an SNC girl....

I was awaken from my dream when my son started pulling my blouse. Grrrr...

That place was a hit! It was packed and you can order from nasi goreng to chicken chop. I was still skeptic of the place but after tasting my dad's meal, I didn't even talk but concentrated on tasting what had been ordered for others. My favourite was KCK. Apparently, when they started the place a gentleman ordered a dish which was not on their menu and he taught them how to prepare it. He was chief of the special branch (Ketua Cawangan Khas).

This is not KCK but my dad's special order. A combination of three dishes.

It was a mixed feeling of surprised, excited, sad and happy. I wish all of my schoolmates could gather here again, having breakfast in honor of our beloved SNC.

Of Rambutan and Mosquitoe

We went back to Sepang for this...

After that we decided to practice our skill which had been put on hold for quite some time...

And we succeeded succesfully

The next day we took Ayah and Mak to Pulau Ketam.

This is the first time they set their foot on the island again after 54 years. Shortly after they were married, Ayah was transfered to Pulau Ketam and they stayed there for almost a year.... You can see the excitement in their eyes..... to be able to revisit old memories... priceless...

Being an excelent storyteller, Ayah told us his experience as a policeman in the small island where everybody knows everybody....

While Ayah and Mak relaxed in the community hall, we had our own adventure.

It was a nice outing. All of us had fun. Time to go back to rambutan.....

Dragon Fruit Orchard in Jitra, Kedah

Last week we visited my father's friend in Jitra, Kedah. He has this awesome orchard which consists of dragon fruit, durian, manggis etc but our eyes were on the dragon fruit. It tasted nice and different. Moreover it is organic, safe and healthy....

If you are ever in Kedah, come and visit this place and experience the 3 in 1...

Home stay with the villagers

Between chicken, fuel and kandaq...

I'm still in a confused state. After recovering, I'm slapped with the price hike .... everywhere....
The other day, I bought a whole chicken for RM12 !!!!





Fuel cost escalated... Hubby complained that his bike now needs approx RM19 for a full tank! LOL!!!!
We wanted to convert our "lorry" to NGV but there's only one station in Prai.... how come????? How then???




I didn't watch last night's game but heard hubby laughed and cheered. I don't know why I'm now so sleepy... I'm gonna try to stay awake tonight....

Hubby promised to take me for a round of Nasi Kandaq tonight while the kids are at their Qiraati class. They'll have to settle for pasta for today though....
