Water Ubah

home cooked dinner

Emeryn fell in love with fried black pomfret after mummy introduced it to her 2-3weeks ago. Emeryn has never like fish as a dish before this. Ever since then, she enjoyed it very much. For once, mummy took the challenge to cook the dish for Emeryn. Mummy bought 2 whole fishes from Tesco during her lunch hour. Cleaning and gutting a fish is a messy job and it was many years back since mummy done it. Back at home, mummy cooked only 2 dishes; long beans with eggs and fried black pomfret. Emeryn's portion was merely fried pomfret marinated with salt, pepper and soy sauce and lastly covering the fish with corn flour to get a nice texture. As for mummy's portion, she finished them with tomatoes, red chilies, lime and garlic to add in some taste. Emeryn gave mummy two thumbs-up for the effort and she finished both the dishes and her rice too. She commented "Mummy, you're so clever. You can cook so well." All this can only be done since the school ends at 5.30pm throughout the puasa week.  Else we would be having late dinner.

On Fri evening, mummy dropped Emeryn at Por Por's place while she went out for her usual dinner and drinks. Later Emeryn called mummy and asked mummy not to fetch her home as she wanted to stay a nite with Por Por and Ah Kong. It came as a surprise for mummy as Emeryn never wanted to stay overnight there. Mummy picked Emeryn the next morning only to found out she had a nice makeup on her eyes. She requested Theng Ee Ee to put a purplish eyeshadow for her. She was happy for being beautiful. We drove to IJM Promenade to witnessed the launching of Water Ubah. Mummy called Ah Kong and Por Por to come over and join us. The sun was shining fiercely when we reached but soon after it started to drizzle.  Slowly the rain poured heavily. Many of us still stood there loyally waiting for the ceremony. Due to the heavy rain, the crew were unable to flip open the cloth covering Water Ubah. It took them at least 15mins to successfully remove the cloth. Everyone of us cheered upon seeing the bird. We left shortly after that. In the evening mummy drove to downtown for her fav hokkien mee.

We spent our Sun at home. Mummy was busy with the blog printing while Emeryn watched her movie. We then headed to Por Por's place for our usual visit and had our dinner there. We came home and did a quick BM revision as Emeryn will be having Ejaan on the following week. Amazingly she can spell almost 90% of the word. What a fantastic job!!!
