ANOTHER QUALM OF BEING A MOTHER

-
AS SALAM,
I THINK EVERY MOTHER OUT THERE WANT THE BEST FOR THEIR KIDS TO EXCELL IN ANYTHING THAT WILL MAKE THEM SOMEONE SOMEDAY. NOT LEAVING ME OUT, I HAVE THAT FEELINGS TOO.

JUST AFTER RAYA, MY YOUNGEST SON SITS FOR HIS UPSR EXAM. KNOWING HIM FOR HIS LACK OF CONCENTRATION TOWARDS HIS STUDIES, GUESS HOW MUCH I WORRY FOR HIM. HIS ACADEMIC RECORD IS AVERAGE. NOT AS EXCELLENT AS HIS FRIENDS. BUT HE DOES GET ALONG FINE WITH HIS SCHOOL AND FRIENDS. LATELY HE WAS OFFERED A CHANCE FOR AN INTERVIEW TO FURTHUR HIS STUDY IN AN ART SCHOOL, ONE OF ITS KIND AND A FIRST IN MALAYSIA. I DON'T KNOW IF HE CAN SURVIVE TO BE AWAY FROM HOME COS THE SCHOOL IS IN ANOTHER STATE. OR IS IT JUST ME BEING THE MOTHER COULDN'T BEAR TO BE AWAY FROM HIM?

AND THIS WEEK, TODAY MY SECOND YOUNGEST SON IS SITTING FOR HIS PMR EXAM. CAN GUESS HOW I FEEL? MUCH WORSE! HE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE HE IS STUDYING LIKE EVERYONE ELSE'S SON. I AM TRYING TO TRUST HIM SO MUCH. ANOTHER THING HAPPEN YESTERDAY, HIS EXAM SLIP GOT CRUMPLED IN THE LAMANATING MACHINE. SO, THIS MORNING I JUST HOPE EVERYTHING GOES WELL AT SCHOOL.

AS SALAM, I WENT TO A PASAR MALAM NEARBY, JUST ABOUT 5 MINS DRIVE FROM HOME. AND OFTEN. THERE'S ONE TYPE OF FISH WHICH WE USUALLY FIND BACK IN THE KAMPUNG AND VERY RARE HERE. BUT THIS PASAR MALAM HAVE IT EVERY WEEK. WE COOK THIS FISH IN MANY WAYS. SOUP, FRIED DIPPED IN FLOUR, ASAM PEDAS KUNYIT. AND WE EVEN HAVE SALAI IKAN LUMEK. MY CHILDREN LOVE THIS MENU. THIS FISH LOOKS VULNERABLE WITH SOFT AND TRANSPARENT FLESH BUT TOUGH MIDDLE BONE AND SHARP UGLY TEETH, WHICH OF COURSE WE DON'T EAT. IF YOU FIND THIS FISH IN THE MARKET, DON'T HESITATE TO BUY. JUST FOLLOW THIS SIMPLE MENU: FOR 1 KG FRESH FISH, CUT THIN SLICES 3 RED ONIONS, 2 GARLICS CRUSH AND CHOPPED, THIN STRIPES OF ABOUT I THUMB OF GINGER, 1 CUBE CHIC STOCK. ALL FRIED TILL WANGI YELLOW AND POUR ABOUT 1 LIT WATER. ADD MORE IF YOU ARE A SOUP LOVER. WHEN SOUP IS BOILING ADD IN SALT & FLAVOR AND FISH. JUST AS SOUP IS ABOUT TO BOIL AGAIN ADD IN LADA PUTIH AND CHOPPED DAUN KETUMBAR/SUP/BWG. COVER POT AND SWITCH OF
