Banyak pulak nak ceta...

I am forcing myself to write something today although I am not up to it. I have not been feeling very well since I got back from KL last thursday. Been having fever and cold and I'm coughing like mad. Rasa nak tercabut anak tekak. My head rasa nak tercabut because the sore throat has sort of affected my eyes and the rest of my kepala. My eyes felt pain and watery, and I had a terrible headache. Still do. Everytime I sujud during prayer, I felt like the blood all went to my face causing my eyes to feel the pain. I lost my voice since friday after my PJJ class. Although the sore throat is now gone (adale rasa sikit-sikit) which means I can now eat food that I wanted to eat, I still need to be very careful. I'm still in a daze right now. Difficult to pay attention to work as the headache and the cough are still bugging me (or is it just an excuse to go home early????).

Oklah, enough said about my health.

A bit about my long break. Well as I said in the last entry, most of the time I spent lepakking - with friends and family. My sisters, brother and I went back to Segamat for Raya Korban as we also performed a korban. It was raining on the raya morning. Nevertheless the ritual had to go on. The korban was carried out at a surau close to my sister's house. We only need to go and watch our korban. But my sisters were not enthusiastic about watching the slaughtering process. So got there slightly late. Everything was over by the time we got there. (depa ni ada sikit sensitif bab sembelih2 ni...) So no camera shots to post here.

The melapah was done at my sister's. My task was to cook the sup tulang and gear box. One big pot of sup tulang! Habis!!!! (Again no shots sebab camera woman sibuk masuk sup and lupa nak suruh orang lain amikkan). But I did get to snap a shot of my nephew Man cleaning the ekor. Nobody else but him knew how to do it. So dialah yang buat.

Back in KL, it's lepakking time. Visited my old colleagues kat KLIUC. Kalau jumpa tak buat ketupat tak sah le. But that was after a sumptious lunch kat La Rizz. We had lamb and sotong bakar. AWESOME. I tried making the sotong bakar and almost jadi. Taught bibik how to do it so the next time dia boleh cook for Along. Takle kena complain je.

Saturday pi makan kenduri back in Segamat. Apparently this was my only makan kenduri this holiday season. The food was good. I wouldn't say awesome, but good. Then pi shop kat Jakel pulak. Managed to control myself from buying more materials but Angah bought a few pieces - unplanned! Me, I have to control myself. Earlier in the week I collected five pairs (which I never knew I had that many) of baju kurung from my tailor which cost me RM500 and before I left for Kedah I collected four more. I spent almost RM800 for the tailoring this time! Luckilah ada duit terpijak nak bayar. Kalau tak.... I have to stop buying material for now or I'll be broke.

The next few days are spent lepakking with KL friends. Apa lagi kalu tak makan. From pasta to gulai kawah to ketupat sotong and the ever-popular telur dadar. I am blessed!

Lepakking and makan-makan with friends kat
Kelantan Delight @ Sooka Central

The ketupat sotong which is not my cuppa tea. It's sweet!


But then I guess Tuhan nak bagi padah kot. Makan banyak-banyak 2 3 hari ini ko makan jele bubur nasi dengan telur masin!

See ye in the next entry. Ciao!
