There are more to come on the Japan trip, however, here are some short ones not on Japan :<\/p>\n
Now have you heard about goreng pisang seller putting straws into the oil to make whatever they are frying crunchier? Do you believe it? I didn’t until last week.<\/p>\n
Zara and Zaria love Keropok lekor, so sometimes I stopped by this stall to buy some for them. Last week, I parked right in front of the stall, and after getting some, I was busy passing the keropok to the girls, wrapping the bottom with tissue first where the girls could hold.
\nI saw the seller pouring oil into the wok. You know those cheap oil in plastic bags?
\nAfter the bag was empty, I saw her dipped the plastic bag into the oil. That caught my attention, and I stopped what I was doing, sat upright and watched again, the corner of the bag where she dipped into the oil had actually melted. I thought that’s the end, and then she dipped the bag further, melting the rest of it in the hot oil, leaving only the corner which she was still holding on. And the smirk on her face, as though she was enjoying poisoning the oil.
\nI didn’t look further, I quickly took back the keropok where I’d given to the girls drove off, swearing never to buy again.
\nI’m not sure if only that stall is doing it, or all stalls do it, but really…. BUEK!!<\/p>\n
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n
Now for something nicer…<\/p>\n
We always go to the wet market on Saturday with Zara. It was drizzling last Saturday, so I told Zara she should stay at home. She kept saying she wanted to follow, but I insisted she shouldn’t. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n After one of their fights, Zaria came to complain, “I don’t like Zara any more.”<\/span> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <\/p>\n I asked Zaria, “Tonight should we watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire?”<\/span>
\nZara then said “I waited for you for so long already, now you want me to wait for you again?”<\/span>
\nI didn’t know what she was saying, “I don’t know what you mean you waited for me for so long. When did you wait for me?”<\/span>
\nZara replied, “You went to Japan for so long right? I waited for you for so long to come back.”<\/span> Ouch!<\/p>\n
\n“Mummy send Zara (to) ah Kim’s house”<\/span> o.O”
\nTo her, Ah Kim’s house<\/a> must be like a torture chamber.<\/p>\n
\nZaria replied, “The boy got a lot of blood one?”<\/span>
\nI didn’t get it the first time, so I asked, “Why got blood?”<\/span>
\nShe said, “Because, the boy (Harry) got-blood of fire.”<\/span> o.O”<\/p>\n
