Abalone “kueyteow” Soup

A couple of weeks ago, I found 2 cans of abalone in the kitchen cabinet, but too bad, one of them was going expired soon! I did not know how to deal with the abalone and was hoping that my eldest sister who would be coming back from PJ would know as she is the most excellent cook of our family.

When eldest sister came back home, I showed her the can of abalone and she didn’t seemed having any better idea than me as she never has any interest in serving abalone as a dish on dining table.

We don’t believe in sumptuous food like abalone, bird-nest or shark fins and none of us appreciates these kinds of food as others do, and they will always be left somewhere till they are always found almost expired, and they will then become a headache to the one who found them!

Finally, eldest sister recalled an abalone “kueyteow” soup stall she encountered at a hawker center where “kueyteow” soup with abalone slices in it was sold for RM5 per bowl.

In the end, we had abalone “kueyteow” soup for lunch which tasted no different from RM2 “kueyteow” soup. To those who really appreciate the abalone, they might think that we had spoiled the abalone, but meanwhile, it tells that the valuables will become valueless to the inappreciative, just like a giant diamond worth nothing to a bite of food to the famishing victims!

Harvest

It’s harvest season again！

UPSR result was released this morning. Feeling most satisfied with the results of my subjects, especially the composition paper. A number of boys and girls had unexpectedly aced their composition paper, I was really thankful to the children’s best effort put in both papers. I might not have done my best in teaching, guiding and training them, but I knew that they had really done their best! I used to tell them that even a little change in their attitude in the exam hall can always make things possible and make dreams come true, and yet they had really made it, 3 cheers to the children!!!

Thanks for the best results achieved, girls and boys, your most excellent performance was such a great harvest to your cikgu and may you keep up your excellent attitude in the days ahead, and do bear in mind, a tiny change in attitude can even change the world!
