i must say, since i've been living in egypt these almost past 5 years, there's never a year past without me inflicted with a GIT upset...(tibe2 rase malu lak nk cakap sal topic nie...:p)
but anyway, what i really wanna forward here is the miracle of these stuffs...
marmariyah + kammoon + na3na3 (no. 3 represent letter 'ain in writing)
p/s: am not sure if these names are exactly correct, i spelled it out from my landlord's articulation...
owh, i dun remember if i've ever mentioned this before, but i've been very fortunate to have such a caring landlord...their whole family treated us like their own children...ustazah maha n ustaz moataz
every week i'll drop by her house as she teaches me how to recite the quran...and this week i came along with my upset stomach...and she began to question me (frankly, better than 'the doctor' taking my history)
bla bla bla...and i answered...bla bla bla...and she asked..."have you seen a doctor?"
"yup, they gave me panadol for my fever and antibiotic."
eih??? (what???) no no no, you need to drink something hot! ana haa'mil wahdah! (i'll make one!)
and she went into her kitchen
few minutes later, she came back with a cup of yellowish colored fluid...it perfumed the whole room...smells nice, but i still doubt the taste...
"take it while it's hot! this is good for stomachaches! or flu...or anything!" she instructed me
"dol?...marmariyah we kammoon we na3na3...ahsan min antibiotic!" (these are....---....they are better than antibiotic!)
i took a sip...not bad...it tasted different but nice...herbal like~
"el marmariyah di min el arisyh, sahbiti tigibli!" (this marmariyah came from el arisyh, my friend brought it for me!")
ooo...i dunno what to reply next, basically because i lack of egyptians vocab...but...wow! from somewhere near Palestine?...kind of an honor isn't it?...
wish i'll have a chance to step foot there once...(dreaming~)
*i've been to el arisyh in july 2007...but just as far as 5 km i guess away from Gaza's borders...and then our bus drivers were hushed away by the guards...they were soldiers i guess, but i still regard them as guards...i mean...soldiers are people we look up to...not look down at...
anyway, after class...ustazah maha packed a plastic of those stuffs for me
"di...wahid ma'la'ah soghir ma'a kuub mayyah sukhna fi sobah, masyi?"
(this, one teaspoon in one cup of hot water in the morning, ok?)
she prescribed to me with her hand gestures to make sure i understood...hehe
and alhamdulillah, the abdominal pain went away~...:D
unfortunately, i still don't know which food i ate wrong...huhu
el marmariyah we kammoon di, ma araftusy eih...(the marmariyah and kammoon, i dunno what it is)
walakin na3na3 is mint leaves...:)
*dr's hesham's party was marvelous!

"hurm...fi sukkar?" (is there sugar in it?)
"aaa... aiyuwah fi, ana 'arif enti bihibbi sukkar!"...hehe (aaa...yup, i know you love sugar!)
"eih di?" (wut are these?) i asked, pointing at the cup
"dol?...marmariyah we kammoon we na3na3...ahsan min antibiotic!" (these are....---....they are better than antibiotic!)
(dis one i made at home...look how beautiful that flower like thing suspended in mid water...:D)
