Mr. Rama Rao.....brother inlaw from india

Am waiting anxiously for my guest today who will be spending 1 week with us. He is no other than my brother inlaw from India. Well. Must be wondering how come brother in law ...... 

Family bond or family unity ...., i do not know how to define it,,,but my late mother law, way back in the 1956 or 1957..visited India with her 3 children, her elder son who is my husband, her 2 daughter and her 9 months baby. Her brother in law, who was married for some years and no children...pleaded her to leave her baby with them....probably it would have torn her heart too..she kindly left her dear son and returned to Malaysia....the child grew with his new adopted parents and settled down there. 

According to my father in law, they were a close knitted family and had strong ties with his brother and communicated through letters with his brother and son. He too grew up into a young man.... got married and has 3 children who are all now married. 

Here he is now is now visiting his family for the first time....welcome bro in law..

Food.....veg. fried fish.

This is one my favorite food...veg. Fish fried. Yes, it so much like fish ya....but it is made from soya and love it..

The supermart in Saujana Utama, ACE  Mart..thanks to the management for selling vegetarian food stuffs for people like me. It is quite easy to prepare this dish. Slice the veg.  fish marinate with pepper, salt  and some curry powder and deep fry. Slice some onions, sauté them with curry leaves and sliced serai add some lemon or lime juice and in the fried fish and give it a quick stir , dish out and here you are with this tasty dish....yes it's that simple but yummy....so enjoy trying it and ..don't forget to,leave your comments...

My helper

Come 23 rd of the month my helper will be 3 months with me. She is from India and married with 2 kids. On the first day when my agent whose is my brother in law brought her said she came with her husband who has also come to work in the estate. The thought.....oh my god this will be problem....sure .

2 weeks later she want s a day off to visit her husband who works somewhere in Kuala Selangor. WE told her this will not allowed. She may call n talk to him on the phone but no visiting. 

Training her to accomodate to our way of life style ....first hygiene...her personal hygiene, house work. Many things around her are a cultural shock to her. Things like a microwave that are so common in most house hold was something new to her...ironing was a new chore for her.... Sweeping , moping, dusting she is able to handle but the fineness and neatness is not there. I am still trying to teach her....at times she follows ...but many times she will do it her  way. I've tried to close one eye .....than realised I have to teach and show her our expectations ....she may show her face at times when she has to redo her job but....hope she will understand my expectations.....and we will work togather with understanding...

This is my helper......

Back to routine....

Wonderful moments for Deepavalli this year are over and back to my normal routine.  Suppose to take my mother to change her feeding tube but  have to postpone to another day because of the whether..

Mum was trying to say something could not make it ....we were asking to,blink to respond.....

After few attempts....she was saying want to see all her children.....it's 11 pm now.  Will inform all of them tomorrow. Although she just saw them....hope my dear siblings will be able to make it.....

All I want is to able to fulfill all  her wishes and make her happy....she was a great woman.
