Pertama kali bakar lemang. A post on what I learnt from my first experience making lemang from scratch...  Beli buluh yang dah siap ada daun pisang dalamnya! Because... You gotta have SKILLS to insert the pandan leaf inside the bamboo. Ya, ada caranya... Try to Google 'cara masukkan daun pisang dalam buluh' . There is a specific way to insert it. We're not skillful yet so it was a hassle to insert the banana leaf inside the bamboo! No wonder my mum made a BIG FUSS when we bought only the bamboos... I was thinking apa susah... Mana-mana pun ada jual, kebun pisang also got around our neighbourhood...  Got to have a frame/ pancang bakar lemang. We already prepared the fire woods earlier (we trimmed our rambutan tree few weeks ago) but the iron rods for the frame? We kind of forgot about that. So earlier in the morning, Iz went around the neighbourhood asking for iron rods...  The ingredients are CHEAP. Yang buat mahal tu MASA... The current price of lemang sebatang is abou...

I finally have something I really want to write about! Been contemplating on some topics I ended up not writing it up. Mostly about MCO and my sudden crazy thought on furthering studies to Masters (what was I thinking?). My mum bought us all the Little Critter series written by Mercer Mayer back in the US. And... It wasn't until years.... That I realized mum actually bought two of the same title. My mum said she accidentally bought two as she found a lot more other titles at a discounted price at another shop. It was Sofia who pointed it out. Damn... Seriously that kid is really something.

It was really something to read to your kid the books your mum used to read to you. You know. And seeing some books with doodles... And your kid asking you who did that and it really was you, the kid you. One of...

Sekali dengan announcement Ramadan, semalam juga PM announce Tempoh Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) dilanjutkan hingga 12 Mei 2020 . The third phase is supposed to end this 28th April... So, yeah. Fourth phase coming up. How's PKP treating you so far? Ok silap. How are you doing in this PKP? I MISS DRIVING. Okay silap lagi. I miss going out. I'm typing this on 1 Ramadan, by the way. Tengah tunggu Isyak. This is supposed to be a Ramadan post. * * * Hello. 3 Ramadan dah today. Tak sempat habiskan posting ritu sebab Sofia dah bangun.  Anyway... 1 Ramadan 1441 haritu, my mum suggested (told) us to recite Quran together. Try to finish reciting one whole Quran this Ramadan. The sequence is mum, me, Iz, and Chairin. The first day while dividing pages, my mum was saying okay 7 helai. And I was actually counting muka. Faham tak beza muka dan helai. One helai got two muka. Depan belakang. I didn't really realize this until Iz asked, "7 helai ke 7 muka?...
