A day to eat

Felt so good to wake up in a different room to a different sound. Our room at Ummi's house was so dark and soundproof that I didn't realise it was almost 9! Hubby was already long gone. The boys bunked in with me and slept like a log. It was so cold......none of us felt like taking shower. So we had our breakfast first. Nasi dagang, of course. The boys immediately went missing after breakfast. No shower needed. It was, afterall, holiday at Tok Kie's house. If Ibu went mad, they could always ran to Tok Kie, or Tok Mie, or Ayah Long, or Tok Su...or the whole kampung for that matter. Hmph!

Time sure moved slower at kampung...dunno why. I felt like I've done a million things and yet, it wasn't even noon. Ummi cooked ketupat sotong for us but for lunch, we all went to two different kenduri kahwin. The whole family actually was bored to death with anything to do with sotong, reason being that this was 'musim mencandat sotong' and you could find all kind of squids imaginable. But for us, plus Cu Nan, all the way from Shah Alam....this was heaven. Couldn't help it but we kept coming up with all things sotong that we wanted to eat and of course, Ummi felt obliged to dish them up. My sis in law said, she couldn't even looked at the squid without feeling nauseated. Gee.....that bad? It sure would be fun if we could bbq some sotongs but still nevertheless, we had our ketupat sotong and sotong goreng today.

Adam and Amri were gone most of the time, alternating between their cousins house, Che Non's house and Tok Su's house.
