Radio or mini compo used to be my best friend during my school days. I think it was so humble. It sounds happy all the time and wouldn't hurt my feelings in any way. I listened to the radio every night and there are some programmes that I am really attached to.
As time goes by and in my late 30's, I only find time to listen to it while driving but that's such a short trip, only after sending my daughter to the nursery. I manage to listen a bit of the programmes but never really keep up with it. If you ask me to sing a whole song of today's favourite, I'm sorry. But choruses maybe not a problem.
The only song that I can really sing properly is my country's National Anthem - Negara Ku.
Talking about the National Anthem, I have just sang it in a choir last week. It was so patriotic and everyone stood straight up listening ang singing together. We were in a Family Day Dinner.
The food was just fine but I was so hungry I ate up everything. The menu :
1) Beef curry ( Malay wedding or special occassion style - a bit different curry paste from the Indians ),no vegetable added
2) Spicy Fried Chicken
3) Acar rampai( cucumber, carrot, onion and chilly, all sliced. Add vinegar, sugar and salt for flavour )
4) small star fruit paste ( small star fruit boiled in a tin till black. Then pounded with hot chillies and anchovies )
5) iced tea - o ( o means without milk
6) nasi minyak ( rice cooked with butter and other ingredients like raisins
7) plain rice
I don't know how to call the small star fruit in English but it's known as belimbing besi in Malaysia. However, I enjoyed the food because I didn't participate in preparing it, so eating is just so easy. I think I need to appreciate the cook whom are actually my colleagues. Thank you for the dish, everyone.
