Lagu raya and a new word I learned

Semalam first time I dengar lagu Raya this year .

Sambil buat biskut, sambil dengar ERA online.

But….out of those many songs, cuma 2 aje lagu Raya yang diaorang mainkan so tak lah sedih sangat pun, hehehe…

Most of the songs they played were ‘new’ songs by Msian singers yang I memang tak kenal langsung. New because I have never heard of them before.

And 2 of the songs had ‘aishiteru’ in their lyrics…

I was like, what????

I thought at first it was one of those special Malay slang words that pop up occasionally. But then I sort of figured out its meaning when the singers keep on saying ‘wa ai ni’, ‘i love you’, ‘aku cinta kamu’, followed by ‘aishiteru’.

hikhikhikhik…..

(Now, if Miss 12 had taken Japanese language instead of Italian as her LOTE, then probably she would have been able to tell me what it means ).

I said to The Other Half, “I might not be able to understand what people are saying when I go back to Msia this time because everyone there is a multilinguist now except me.”

Pastu, bila I dengar lagu Melayu kat ERA, sibuklah Miss 7 tanya, “why is Mum listening to Malay songs suddenly?”

Dad dia jawab, “It’s Ramadhan and your Mum likes to listen to Malay songs especially Raya songs at this time. It makes her feel like it is going to be Raya soon.”

Last night for iftar, I made fruit salad and murtabak mini (again!).

Fruit salad sebab I dah tak tau nak buat apa as our sweet kuih.

I added cherries, strawberries, longan, pear, gold kiwi and mandarin to the fruit salad. Makan dengan whipped cream so obviously terus jadi sangat lah sedap nya kan, hehehe.

But it was really refreshing to eat fresh fruit masa buka puasa ni actually.

And for dinner pulak, I made beef schnitzel for the everyone while I had bubur lambuk.

Bubur lambuk ni I dapat on Sunday masa kat Masjid. One of the Masjid people donated bubur lambuk to everyone. Simpan dlm fridge sikitnya lama ke, nasib baik tak basi.

Kat rumah ni memang takde sape nak makan bubur nasi so I lah yg makan sorang2 malam tadi.

To make it more moreish, I added fried egg, fried tahu, bawang goreng and fresh coriander leaves. Ingat nak letak ikan bilis goreng sekali tapi malas pulak nak goreng.

And the piece de resistance, sambal kicap! heeeeeee…..

I think sambal kicap ni will make anything and everything becomes more palatable kan, hahahaha……

The Other Half asked me what I’m having for dinner..

I said, “the bubur lambuk we got on Sunday. Do you want some?” He looked at it and said, “Urk, that’s congee. No thanks!”

Told you, takde sape nak makan bubur nasi kat rumah ni .
