A Hainam Nang Speaks to A Hokkien Lang In English

Malaysian Chinese are good at languages and dialects. Most of us speak English, Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin and dialects like Hokkien, Cantonese, Hainanese, Teochew etc...... Even if we don't speak other dialects we could understand roughly what other trying to say.

I remember a joke told by my friend about an experience her Hainanese mother encountered. It happened many years ago.

One day her mother went to a shop in Port Dickson to buy a badminton racket for her. She told her mother she wanted the brand "Blue Bird", in English. The mother not knowing what is the meaning of 'Blue Bird' told the shopkeeper the same thing the daughter told her.

The Hokkien shopkeeper who unable to speak english and hainanese, asked her twice in Hokkien : "Lam Chiau Piau"? (Blue Bird brand?). He was trying to reconfirm with her what she actually wanted.

'Lam chiau' means 'blue bird' but it sounds close to the word penis in hokkien and I think may be in hainanese dialect also.

The mother was very angry with the shopkeeper and scolded him for being rude to her before she left the shop angrily. She was still angry when she reached home and told the daughter what had happened. The daughter told her the actual meaning of 'Blue Bird' and they were laughing away.

Happy Independence Day everyone!!!

...

Indian Rojak

This is Rojak. Indian Rojak. The famous Indian Rojak from Subang Jaya. As nice as the Rojak at my home town in Telok Kemang when I was young.

.

This is the only Indian Rojak that i really eat and eat and never get fed up of it. Don't tell me about other rojak. I've been conned (LOL not so serious la!) into trying at so many places but none can compare to this one.

.

The most important thing is the sauce. Really yummy.

The cucumber and the turnip are freshly shredded, very fresh.

All those fried things I don't know what to call it, very nice.

and the freshly fried toufu.

.

You can add hard boiled egg or cuttlefish, but I prefer it plain.

.

I usually eat there because next to it there is a Cendul stall. Cendul when buy back home wont be nice anymore, so have to eat there. But today I bought it back because the Cendul stall is not there. So buy back and eat at the comfort of my home.

.

When I first spotted this Rojak stall, there were a long line of people waiting and eating under the trees with birds and crows above. I was hesitating to eat there. But because it's very yummy, I sometime can drive there alone and join in the crowd.

.

Today I waited for more than 1/2 hours to get this plate of yummy Rojak for my tea time.

.

Oh one advice for those who wants to eat there. Make sure you don't look else where while eating. Stare at your plate until you finished all, otherwise the birds and crows may add some droppings in. HA HA HA HA HA

1 fine evening before my 2 sons go to bed; we sat down for a chat.
.
We talked about how 3 of us going to face the big, big world in the near future as I am getting old and if they don't grow up quickly, I am not sure how they're going to survive without me. I can’t be with them 4 ever.
.
My elder son said:"Don't worry mummy, we'll be 5."
.
But then I told him, "We need to eat, place to stay, household utilities, education........., and how if one of us get 6, we need money to see a doctor."
.
My son: "Mummy, you have a total of 7 brothers and sisters; don't tell me none of them could help us?"
.
"Yes, may be they could, but we can’t depend on others, we must do our own growing. Have you heard of a saying: Don't help by giving a fish everyday but instead teach them how to fish?"
.
My younger son, too small to understand:" Mummy, if they think fish is too expensive to give, they can give us 8. I can eat that everyday with rice, bread or just plain."
.
"That’s good idea, darling, you're very smart. Good 9."
.
Went back to my room. 10 god for being so kind to me.
.
ZZZZzzzzzzz.

Spahgetti, Anyone?

Had spaghetti for lunch today! No choice! No choice! The reason is I cooked too much. Sooo greedy!
.
Usually I cook spaghetti for my children or for my guests and i'll have something else.
.
I have the button mushroom cut into big pieces. That's why home cook is special. You can do what you like and don't do what you don't like.
.
I love cheese but didn't add in cheese because my tummy cannot tolerate cheese, strange!
.
Oh, delicious! Self praise is no praise. Too bad, no judges here and you cant judge from the look.
.
Ingredients?
.
1 bottle of Preggo Spaghetti Sauce
5 big tomatos
5 big onions
1 can button mushroom
RM5.00 mince meat
1/2 bowl chopped garlic
1 small bowl tomato sauce
Olive Oil
Salt & pepper
.
(No sugar, no cheese, no red/green pepper/bassil leave already in the sauce)
.
Each time I plan a party at home, I’ll cook spaghetti. Although each time no matter how much I cooked, my guests would finish all but I still feel that my spaghetti sauce needs some improvement.
.
Is there anything that I should or shouldn’t add in? Any tips please!
.
Any one willing to share the secret of your delicious spaghetti sauce?

My Weekend

Went to pick up my girlfriend from KEN lll for a get together with other Single Mummy.

After the gathering we went for the HP sale.
.

Couldn't get the monitor I wanted. But I didn't come back empty handed. That's my tradition to at least buy something small whenever i go for sale. At most of the Sales there're some small and cheap items to lure my money. That's why i always go for sale without much cash in my purse, because below certain amount they don't accept credit card, then i can save up my money. If I found something really worth buying i would normally use credit card if they accept it without charging me extra.

.

This stretegy has helped me saved some unnecessary spending but also caused me some unnecessary time spent to look for an ATM machine when i found something worth buying which can only pay by cash.

I bought 2 mouse pads each came with a hand rest. That's what i have been looking for. Although that's not exactly what I wanted, but it's good enough.

.

Can you see that cute little red ladybird in the picture? That's a vacuum cleaner for the computer. It came with 2 batteries. Not sure whether it works, I'm lazy to try it out now.
.

Each item is only RM5.00. So i spent only RM15.00 that day. I don't know how long these things going to lie around in my house, after all there's always a rubbish bin to collect the rubbish i bought.
