as we approach the final day of fasting, i would like to officially thank the laki for taking over sahur preparation duties for the whole month and for taking care of his not-so-well bini by feeding her his various nasi goreng concoctions cooked at five in the morning.

i feel very lucky indeed. (except when it comes to washing the dishes and wiping the stove, ha ha. ok lah, fair is fair. you man, me woman; you hunt, me gather.)

anyway, we survived our highly-focused ‘hunting’ expedition at geylang on weds evening, and were quite pleased with our finds as well as our general navigation in the geylang maze.

we even came upon a stall with piping hot keropok lekor at just the right moment, fresh out of the oil-filled wok. the taste and consistency of the kerepok lekor was yummy perfect, so much so that i was even generous enough to let aniq loose on the “pok!” (as he calls it), much to his delight.

takpe, takpe, mummy kasi chan. nak raya punya pasal, mood ada baik.

we even managed to kill two birds with one stone because sheng shiong was right around the corner of haig road and we bought enough bottles of lemon tea to feed a small kampung.

and all that BEFORE ‘grey’s anatomy’! =)

had another ‘hunting’ expedition at parkway this evening. and i think i’ll forget about my plan to attack far east flora tomorrow because i:

a) am reminded that i am totally devoid of green fingers – live flowers and plants always commit kamikaze on me;
b) am broke;
c) just spent on some fake flowers, which are somewhat pretty and real-looking enough and won’t die out on me for sure!

ok. long day ahead. the list of last-minute chores has been stuck to the fridge. (yes, i’m THAT anal.)

to all of you dreading raya, err, wolf down lots of cookies and sugary drinks, that’ll put you on a high for a few hours, at least.

and to all of you eagerly anticipating raya, pace yourself with all that ketupat, lemang, rendang, sambal goreng, ayam masak merah, etc. or you’ll be raya-ing in the toilet instead!

good luck with the final preps, and happy last-day-of-ramadhan…
