while waiting for the chicken ..

The day started with haze, then it got cloudy and it started to rain .. was windy too - weather here these daysseems like an emotional roller coaster if compared to a human being hahah dramatic huh.. forest fires in neigbiyuring islands are causing a haze(though we could do without - cos the smell of burning forests is not something i like waking up too :P yeah yeah i know seems like im whining im not really - weather like this is deja vu for me .... anyhow, here in singapore you can actually smell the burning forests - but since its something thats happened for a while now , its something we have gotten use too though its not not very good for someone with asthma especially if the PSI goes beyond the safe levels ..During the haze even the healthiest of people are prone to sore eyes, sniffles, cough ... there was a time where we actually put on masks because the air level was so bad ...As of 1637hours PSI reading here is 54 which is in the moderate range .. its pretty dark outside - hard to tell if its the haze or the clouds or a combination of both ...

Right now i am waiting for the chicken to thaw out so i figured i would blog a little seeing my fingers are dying to type something and mind churning out things.. heh .. Its the 7th day of the fasting month- i did a lot of resting today - i am just so beat - i think its the lack of sleep .. really catching up to me.. I made up for some of it so i feel a tad bit fresher - fresh enough to cook and hopefully tonight we will be going to see the festival lights in town and then go shopping at Mustaffa Centre - only 24 hour shopping centre in Singapore and you can get everything you want from under one roof. Its a popular tourist destination located in the heart of Serangoon Road - Singapore's Little India.

We are having something simple for breaking fast today - Ayam Masak Beladuh (chicken beladuh)- its an indonesian dish - basically chicken cooked in chiliie and spices, then we have beef soup cooked in spices and from yesterday leftover ishbilaham so were set for the night ..
