Emotional Iftar

September 7th 2009

Adik is going back to Paris tonight, after his 2-months long summer holiday. Mama and Abah is around to send him off. In fact, everybody is home today. Buka puasa today is going to be huge. Mama cooked her signarture Hari Raya's rendang ayam, udang masak cili and of course, the famous gulai ketam.

But the gulai ketam was made ready late, due to my inefficiency during Ramadhan (tehehe) . Only by 6.30pm, all the ingredients for gulai ketam was ready and available (Nasib baik Giant dekat dengan rumah) . When the azan Maghrib was louded in air, the gulai ketam was still on the stove. We all munch the kuih first. Mama said something while stirring the gulai ketam. And adik suddenly was at his lowest point of emotion. I almost reach that point.

And now, adik is safely landed in France. All of us talked about that moment during yesterdays's buka puasa. STG and I agreed it was very emotional what Mama has said yesterday. We all love you Mama. There's no substitute. Your cook by far, is the best in the world, to us.




ps: that was no monkey moment
