Strength of twinnies

It's already the second day of my 3rd phase practicum in SK (LKTP) Kota Gelanggi 2, Jerantut. To be honest, I didn't even have heart to go to school at the first day - yesterday was ---> (=.=). Perhaps this is my 3rd practicum, I didn't feel anymore excitement, and I wonder how my heart would feel then for posting xDDD - New school, new environment, new challenges are waiting.

However, my mood changed this morning. It's because I saw this cute twinnies: >__<

Does it sound weird I'm talking about twins as if it relates to school? Well, I was waiting for the students for pre cross-country today at one of the checkpoint which is located in front of a house belongs to one of the teacher from that school. The twins are her daughter (which I forgot their names). Consider as lucky waiting at that checkpoint and made time to play around with the friendly toddlers. Since this morning, I felt so cheerful and have my heart back to teach. Thank you twinnies for making my day and giving me back strength to look forward for the challenges being here. Now I could see how kiddies could influence adult's thoughts. 

This was one of the shot for pre cross-country. The event would be tomorrow. By chance, the boy with white shirt is my sports team member and he's so excited running at the 2nd place, telling me he'd be champion tomorrow. Well, whatever good for you, go ahead, boy. May your wish come true =)

Visiting Cambodia Day 4: The day off

Off day, we refused to visit anywhere. And by chance, Makcik told us she's truly taking break, since it was Asyura Day. LOL. Makcik wished to join the community activity in the mosque in front of her brother's house (we called him Tneh Man - means Uncle Sulaiman), home where we stayed.

 The breakfast: In Malaysia, we call is as laksa, in Cambodia, they call it pchok.

Served with fresh veggies (cucumber, long bean, ginger flower, etc.), chilli, chilli flakes and sugar (optional).

 As usual, my hobby there was watching blacksmith in front of the house.

 Spying kindergarten kids dating under the house.

 Playing with little baby.

Greeting shopkeeper. 

 Tneh Man's wife gave me this fruit. I forgot the name, but the skin is hard like coconut shell, while the flesh tastes so sweet :)

A type of pickles, I was lost what fruit was this. Served with blended chilli + sugar + salt. My Javanese tongue couldn't accept it, I'm not pickles fan either.

Then we disturbed this bloke while he's taking wudhu'. Cuz I was so eccentric watching this water pump. I used to see this stuff when I watched anime My Neighbour Totoro. Finally it appeared in front of my eyes. When I took the photo, people there were surprised. Shida told 'em (cuz she can speak in Champa) that I was a Malaysian girl. One man joked, "Malaysia might be poorer country than Cambodia since such thing is not available in Malaysia." HAAHAHAH. This pump does exist in Malaysia, but I've never seen it. ;)

Then we the girls all sleeping after Zohor prayer. Makcik woke me up, asking me to take photograph at the mosque since the villagers are making Asyura porridge, I just said "yes" several times but didn't opened my eyes. We're just too exhausted 3 days going so many places. We all awaken after Asar, and Tneh Man's wife invited us to eat. Weee~ I really love it!

The Champa style Asyura porridge: Contains fish, meatball, beansprout. 

(Of course this wasn't mine since I don't eat beansprout)

The porridge served with blended chilli, lime, fried chopped garlic and bean paste.

While we're eating, Tneh Man's youngest son, Ali, 2, was wiping his father's motorcycle. He's cute :)

After eating, we walking again the whole village, this was what we purchased:
Nompang krem (Ice cream bread)

Keep walking and yey~ we're invited to eat this - nhem  (pronounced as 'name')
It's fish filling mixed with lemon grass, blackpepper, onion and salt.

Make it like patty. My most favourite food ever in Cambodia.

Nhem is served with papaya studs (extra chilli if you love spicy like me).

Wow splendid! I wanna stay here forever!!!! LOL

Returning back to Tneh Man's house, her wife gave me this lotus and she taught how to eat the seed inside. I was awkward and suddenly little Ali said something to me. He meant, "Give it a try". Waaa~ I was so moved this toddler said that to me. ^_^

Day off, food ON!

The result

Deepavali break gonna end soon. My life is kinda no fun since my nephews are not around. Plus, it was sort of sad thing when my sis' cat, Kara died. I saw how she suffered for a week T_T.

 I really miss Adam's thousand questions daily;
"Kenapa lembu makan rumput? Adam boleh makan rumput tak? Kenapa crocodile makan daging? Dia tak makan nasi ke? Kenapa Cuwawa tak nak ikut Adam balik? Kenapa Cuwawa kena jaga Tok Mama? Kenapa Tok Mama sakit? Cuwawa dah hantar lukisan kat cikgu Cuwawa?? Yang Mommy marah Adam kata nak jahit mulut Adam tu Mommy tipu je kan, Cuwawa?"

P/s: You're smart, boy. C:

While Aiden:

"Cat... cat... meow... meow..." *shakes the cat's cage*. I know you're animal lover, but all cats are afraid of you. Ha3. You're so adorable, curly curly perm baby. :)

P/s: expecting another nephew this year. ;)

Erm, sorry, too many babbling words. This morning, Mama has taken her operation report. Most important thing is, Alhamudillah, the tumor isn't any kind of cancer cell. And forgive my mistake for previous entry on labeling the last photo. I fixed it already. This is the report:
