SwEET OpAh...

a shot from at the back of Opah's Crib (now FIL's) taken a year ago

I didnt fast today... Ada tahlil at Mak Long's during lunch... They served ayam masak merah, gulai lemak ikan masin nenas, sambal kelapa/nyior, kerabu mangga... sangat sedap!!!!....♥

I really need to visit the doc becoz i've been vomiting after my meal. :(

I slept the rest of the afternoon, feeling not too well. Felt better after that thou. Managed to join FIL and the rest to Ulu Kenas, raya visits to Opah Yan's house. She was different than the last time i saw her. She's been in and out of hospital a few times. But she's still the pleasant and warm Opah i knew. She was Hubby'y late Opah's younger sister. Looking and talking to her, suddenly had me realise i miss Opah Saodah, hubby's late grandma. She was so pleasant towards me. I really miss her. She passed away 3 mths after my wedding. She was the one who places my engagement ring on my finger...

Everytime i visited her, even before i was married, she were always so pleasant... offering and serving foods of my favourite. Being raised by Johorean influence i pretty much only eats open sea fish. But i was introduced to fresh water fishes by frens and hubby's family. I ♥ Catfish/keli but i normally detached it's head before i put the fish in my plate. I remember telling Opah about that and later on my next visit i realised that al Keli served on the table was headless... LOL!

I know i will never be able to even cook the fish... eating it was a pleasure but i cannot look at the head... maybe just a glimpse... :D

As we were already at pekan Kuale,.. we dropped by at Mak Teh's and later been directed to Kak Yati's house which was just 5 minutes away. Kak Ti's served us delicious Mee Fishball Soup. Hubby had 4 servings of it!!! Kak Ti's husband is a prison warden at Taipeng Jail. We asked him lots of questions about prisoners. There was this old blind malay man who were found guilty for rapping his daughter!!!! What was wrong with this fellow?!!! sigh...

Hubby was asked questions bout misc vessels and d piracy at Somalia. Melati Dua, the 1st ship that was hijacked, was the vessel i joined for 8 mths 2 years ago.
