PEA sale

on sunday, there was a lil food fare where the eurasians are given the chance to sell their food to earn a lil extra pocket money... so mum took the chance... she made plans for this a month earlier, doing her research on what food to sell, the prices and of course how much would her untung be! hahaha... at least she's keeping herself busy by doing things she likes...

mum took up about 4 tables for her lil stall where by the other ladies just took up 2 tables... they didn't really brought much to sell, i guess they were just "testing" the waters and were too scared to take the risk to sell and maybe have a loss... well it IS known that eurasians are not good businessmen.. hahahah.. i may be wrong.. (don't hate me)

mum and her food!

dad's first time manning a stall... he gets easily excited! hahah

so mum got someone to cook devils curry with rice and veg, got some friend beehoon, she made rojak, some indian vadek and tried selling her salt fish prada (using Aunty Bah's portugese recipie) and green chilly pickle... we were there early to set the tables and arrange the food and the ppl started to come in by 10am (after morning mass)....

all went well especially the Devil's curry and beehoon, though the rojak didn't do well as the fruits were getting all watery... mum managed to sell half of her pickle bottles... so hope ppl will taste it and would want to order more from her... it's nice i tell u....

there were others selling cakes and tarts and puffs... which were lovely too... we had a reporter from the News Straits Times taking pics of the food (i think i took better pics! heheh) and interviewed the VP of the PEA... we're just wondering which issue would mum's face appear.. hahahha... check it out!

stormy stormy night

it's been raining for the past nearly 2 weeks in the evening/night with thunderstorms and lightning and wind... places are in floods and things have been flying around....

here in LeNid (greenlane) the ciku tree has fallen.... that was what i was told by Anna.... it fell across the porch and if she wanted to go to the gate, she must bend down and go underneath the tree OR walk around the tree near the doghouse to get to the gate.... luckily it seemed it didn't hit the window of the dining room which is good and it was resting on the fence of the water tap in the garden

so i was abit excited.. wanted to get a pic of this fallen tree... soooo.... i went there after work to get some pics and what did i SEE???? it was just a BRANCH of the tree that fell.... the MAIN tree is still standing!! hahaha see how descriptions can cause? hahahahah... the branch that fell was as big as an arm.... long branch that fell across the porch.... though by the time i went there Anna had already cleared the leaves and twigs... just left the main on for my dad to saw/cut it....

see the Kelisa my dad got after he pensioned? it's parked infront of the main gate

KING, the dog of the house

ahahah after taking some pics, i took Anna out for banana leaf dinner.. i'm sure it's been a while since she had that ... and me too!! haven't been there for quite some time....

so... the episode of the ciku tree... hmmm i forgot to ask Anna if there were any edible ciku to eat... i'm sort of craving for ciku when i came back from KL... dunno why.... NO! i'm not pregnant! i'm having my period now... :P

train ride...

finally some pics on this blog.... so because of the delay, i took some pics but didn't want to take so many cause i was on normal battries.. my re-chargeable ones are getting old, and it has it's own mood, to work or not to work, that is the question...

so anyway, here's some for when the train were coming in to "fetch" us....

this is the free "complimentary refreshments" we got - mineral water & lil cupcake (the sandwiches were RM6.30 for 2 sandwiches we bought)

there, my dad ever so excited about this train ride, note the lil ladder on the left of the pic and the lil sink on the right bottom of the sink..

tht's me looking very tired.... AND sleepy... went to sleep straight after that!
