This was Lulu's first time at the pool. Her dad took her for a quick swim after the picnic we had. Lulu was not sure what to make of it at first, though after a while she did a bit of splashing.

Gadis Melayu (Pumpong)
This is Lulu's second baju kurung. Her first is at the tailor - still in the making, to be worn on Hari Raya. This one is made of chiffon and a bit see-through. Can you see my pammy, Atok?
Aunty Ira
Lulu had lunch with Aunty Ira to bid her a fond farewell and wish her well in her new adventure. All the best Aunty Ira.. We love your new haircut!

An entry for Lulu : Temenung
This morning my mom told me over the phone that ikan kembong(chubb mackerel) which is also fondly known as ikan temenung in Perlis is selling cheap at the wet market – RM5/kg (normally RM8-9/kg in KL). She said she was thinking of going on a diet but ikan temenung had other plans for her. Over these past few days, she had fried them, curried them and made laksa out of them..
Ikan temenung has always been a staple in my family. The flesh is succulent and simply delish cooked in any way. Fried temenung, grilled temenung, temenung curry, assam pedas temenung, temenung masak cuka, temenung masak kicap and of course everybody’s all time favourite – laksa.
Over the years, I grew distant from the fish as my allergies acted up. I hated the blocked nose, headaches and red bumps after-effect. None the less, ikan temenung always conjures up fond memories of my childhood. Fried temenung particularly reminds me of the time when my sister and I were smaller.. 7 or 8 maybe. My maktok used to fry the fish and let us eat it with piping hot white rice and a dollop of tomato sauce. We lurveed it and would ask mom to send us to maktok’s again and again. However, my mom’s reaction to what maktok has been feeding us every time we were there is a story for another day.. :)
Anyway, no prize for guessing what I had for lunch today.. and no prize for guessing why I am finding it hard to breathe right now..
