Today is the best day for me as we will be having lunch at Kak Yam’s house. She originate from Narathiwat, Thailand, the most muslim population in Siam. I have been there a couple of times and its specialty is delicious Thailand food. She served us Tom Yam, Ayam masak kicap, fried vege, udang masak lada, ikan goreng, sambal. Eventhough, it sounds like simple food but the taste is just superb. Somehow or rather the ingredients from Thailand is really good which one can’t find here (except maybe near the border in Kelantan like Rantau Panjang).
I had to excuse myself later to visit old friend (Fatihah) of ours back in MCC, Kuantan and MRSM KB for my hubby. It was her sister in law’s wedding or they call it kenduri sambut menantu cum Raya gathering. I have not met Fatihah since 1995. The last time was when she came over to Missouri and stayed at Norli’s and Farah’s house. That’s when she cooked Kelantan’s dish (was it nasi dagang).
This meeting was supposed to be meeting of old friends but it turns out a discussion on insurance. All of them save for me are insurance agents. Having my hubby as the “kapla” in that industry made them talk about it rather than updating each other on other matters.

How great since I came to Kelantan, we need not cook for lunch. We have been having lunch at my hubby’s relatives. As for today, his half brother treat us with ayam kampung, ayam kari tok, sayur goreng udang and sambal and the best is budu! Met my hubby’s half sister as well Kak Ha. Though his immediate family is small but by having his “other” family from his father’s side as well as his close neighbors and childhood friends would bring long lasting happiness.
I tried the web cam on my lap top. It’s so great that now I could yahoo message my close friends through web cam. I am no longer out dated ha. I realized that it’s high time that I own a laptop. Able to do office work or even personal works any time. Thanks to Ebi for pressuring me to have one (knowing that I am a VP which I think nothing great about it). And thanks to Rosman for providing me a very good advice in choosing the best notebook with my low budget. I bought it for only RM2,820 and with this price, I could get 2.0 GB, Window Vista Home Premium, Web Cam which I believe is the best gadget that I would need. Nothing advance but right stuff for me.
Sorry for being not an IT expert, I was searching high and low since yesterday for the web cam software. The Guide Book shows a Dell Web Cam Manager icon on the bottom left corner. But there was none there. In the end, my hubby asked me to do a search and walahh, there it was. Apa lagi, tried it. Took pictures of my hubby’s niece and nephews i.e. Uchup, Adam, Balqis and me as well as my hubby together Che ‘Ngh! See the result above.
