4th Day!

Today is the 31st, also our 27th Anniversary.. and I am not in Indiana.

But I got up earlier than Opah or Tok Ayah at 5:50, just before azan suboh. Updated blog and waited for 7:45 am for my breakfast meet with Pak A'at and his two eldest..
After the 'best' nasi lemak in Taiping..

3rd Day

My first breakfast at Kamunting...but at 11:00 am! The late nite work made me extra dizzy, what with the jetlag and not having enough rest. After I had my bath, I went for breakfast. There was roti canai, pulut, nasi lemak and fried cempedak...I only got the following, knowing that I can feel even sicker if I eat too much in my conddition..
Yummy fried cempedak
Nasil Lemak
We went out to the Kamunting Market after breakfast..Tok Ayah and Rusa
Dokongs...
Imported durians
Mai Kanan Mempelams from Behrang..
Open a dokong, eat a dokong
Open a moktan, eat a moktan
Here we go again...Tok Ayah getting more stuffs in the evening..
Rusa needed a replacement signal bulb, rm 3.00 all in..It would have cost $20.00 for labor only at McGregor. No wonder they lost their business..
Dinner was ketam (hey where's the pict) curry. Sedap laa, opah masak. Then after isyak, I went to see pak Aat and his kids. Too bad I came at abt 10:00 pm as they were getting their homework done. I left at 11:00 pm after giving them Mr Wilson, last name soccer, and a promise to see them for breakfats the next day. And Pak A'at needed a favor, too (shhh!). I told him I would try my best... No picts that nite..
