ikan pari bakar kuah percik

in winter holiday, i enjoyed myself too much...
missing those days already like they were a thousand years away...T_T
(exaggerate nyerrr)

anyway,
there was an incident in malaysia that reminds me of my life in egypt
ever since my dad had an emergency stent in his coronary, our house has only been having healthy food...thanks to my mother's unconditional love...hehe
(dun get me wrong ma, the foods are still marvellous)
so we usually have grilled fish...n one of my dad's favourite - grilled stingray


one night, after dinner...i procrastinated cleaning up the dining table as some of us havn't had dinner yet... until it was about midnight, when i suddenly remembered to keep the leftovers into the fridge...
there then, i found out that the grilled stingray which was draped with *'kuah percik' already gives out a tinge of 'smell'

i picked up the portion of fish n smelt it closely...*ting!!!*
n i was brought back to a memory of six years ago...in one of my early days in cairo
i was waiting for a bus at night with a bunch of girls (sorry i couldn't recall where i was heading) and suddenly, a silhouette of a body strolled towards the nearest trash container about 4 feet away from us.
the silhouette started scrambling the trash in it...


every few strokes, he will pick up something and smell it closely...
after almost several times trying, he finally found it...
the silhouette moved towards us and seems like he's peeling off something from which he's holding
and when suddenly the neon road light fall onto his face... i realized the silhouette was actually a women!
n...she was eating what seemed to be bread...

i almost cried witnessing this site...
now, back in malaysia 6 years later...
i couldn't bear myself to throw away that grilled stingray, n since the tinge of smell seemed to come only from the draper, so i washed away that 'percik' sauce and grilled the fish again...


i think it smells ok after i grilled it
but i hav no idea who finished it...opss!

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

...فَبِأَىِّ ءَالآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ

(ar Rahman verse 13)

reminding myself first and foremost and anyone who's reading
n also, i apologize if i touched anybody's sentiments...

*kuah percik is a sauce containing coconut milk if am not mistaken, so it can get bad easily especially in malaysia's humid weather
keh3...nk back up diri to not b blamed for not keeping the leftovers earlier...sorry mama :'(
