Alang2 Menyeluk Pekasam.

Alang2 menyeluk pekasam biar sampai ke pangkal lengan..hee..hee..Tia Mia do yo understand this old proverb?i think you both pekasam pun tak kenal kan:) For your sake i explain it here,pekasam is any type of pickles but according to uwan the old people in the old times marinate the beef meat together with bones in the big jar/tempayan.They put the beef together with salt in the jar,seal the opening and keep it for months under their kitchen counter.In the old days they didn't have fridge to keep the meat for long so this method is useful and they are just like korean kimchi.How did the proverb come about? In the old days when they want to cook the the marinate/pickled meat they have to put their hands in the deep jar,since the jar is deep if you don't put your hand further below you won't be able to reach the meat,so when you put in your hands it will get wet but since half your hands are already wet and in order to reach you mission i.e in taking out the meat you might as well let your hands wet up till the upper part of the hand (pangkal lengan).The proverb is use to show that in order for you to reach your goal if you are already in half way doing it no matter how difficult it is you might as well finish it.Old people so pandai kan..they see things and they use it as panduan but in a very nice and artsy manner.

So did i seluk pekasam this weekend?he..hee..i did something in total also last weekend,where i kept my hand in my pocket,i didn't cook breakfast or anything on Saturday and i thought might as well i totally hang my pots and pans..so no cooking on Sunday too;) Why? because our weekend was really tiring..we spent 8 good days at Emergency Room (ER) at Tropicana Medical Centre,Tia Mia was vommitting,followed by stomache etc..it was really tiring..Saturday we made appointment with new Peaditrician at TMC,Tia and Mia pead used to be Dato Dr Musa at DSH but he is so popular and we had to que very very long in order to see him;( since TMC is near our place so we gave a try..hopefully everybody will be okay soon;).Let see some of our pictures during weekend.

Children Section at TMC is really nice,they have huge play room,the whole area is like a big aquarium ..lets hope that the medicine is good too:)

We went to New York New York for lunch,sian Tia she had a very bad cough and was coughing non stop, so no cold drink you you Tia,Hot Honey Lemon is good for your throat.She is getting better now but the cough is still there..anybody have recommendation on how to get rid of cough from small girl like Tia?

Both girls ordered Salmon steak but they can't hardly eat as Tia was coughing and Mia had stomah ache..kesian betul..once dah baik we makan balik ya.

Sunday we didn't go out anywhere..both had activity at the back of the house.

They love glass painting;)

Sambil painting sambil kena suap nasi..i bought sup ayam kampung from Hassan ayam kampung.
