:: Hari Raya ::

Wakes up this morning alone at home and life seems just like another great ordinary day, except one thing maybe, i went to the mosque for Aidilfitri prayer in the morning.

Came back after that and gave a call to my mom who's currently in Jelapang Perak celebrating raya with her family. Well, my dad seems to be somewhere in KL i guess, as normal, he's always nowhere to be found.. While my sis? Hmm.. i bet she's happily spending her time with her bf, greg i guess... Yeah, quite a dysfunctional family i have.. why? haha.. lets not go there on this very meaningful day.. Hahaha.. meaningful, yeah, that should be the right word.. although its so darn plain as it can be to me..

Anyway, after a month of not having breakfast (its not like i have it on normal days either), this morning i had nasi impit with rendang ayam(chicken) together with sambal sotong (squid), all courtesy from a good soul who deliver it last nite.. The food tasted really not bad i'd say.. 

Raya

The whole day passed by quite slowly.. being on standby during Raya sure sucky.. nobody is around to hang out coz everybody seems to be away on vacation.. sheeeshh..

dunno where my fren got it from.. but somehow i rather think its true... yikes!!

"There is always one person crying and wishing to get the best in their relationship, while the other doesn't even remember the things they've been through.."

:: Mortar and pestle ::

ever since the month of ramadhan, i've been doing quite a lot of cooking.. yea yea.. i know most of u would be saying.. "Seriously, Feisal? Cooking?" Hmm.. i do tend to get that a lot. But cant blame you guys though, cause most of us hardly hav any time to actually do the cooking, let alone cook a bowl of simple noodle... (Nope, not talking about instant noodle which u boil water, throw the noodle in and Walah... its finished kinda type either)  Anyway, where was i? owh yea, since i've been doing some cooking, the use of my trusty mortar and pestle. HUh? wut issit? for most people.. we call it lesung batu or just simply lesung.. and its being use for crushing or grinding the stuff u wanna cook.. heck the pestle can even be substitute for a hammer should u need to.. coz i know i did :)  But the thing is, like i said,we tend to require a meal which doesnt really consumes alot of our time, hence i'm beginning to think that i kinda need to buy a blender to ease up my life.. i mean, its ok to use the lesung should u need to crush some garlics or ginger... but when u need to grind awhole lot of dried chilis to create the chili paste, it just so labor intensive.. haha!  Nonetheless, i kinda think that by using a blender would somehow reduce the taste or aroma which u would get from using the lesung though.. Heck, this may just be me but i do find that stuff that is being crushed or grind using lesung seems to be tastier.. (Perhaps its due to the bits and pieces of the material from the mortar already went inside your food.. lol!
