Merdeka Day, Independence Day, Malaysia is now 50 years old! According to the newspapers it was a big party in Kuala Lumpur. Unfortunately these couple of days I was just not feeling very well and had to skip most of the celebrations. However, a few days before the Merdaka Day I was invited to be guest at a Malay wedding day. I say "day", it should be "days". See the article further on.

The Ramadan has started. For the next 4 weeks the Malaysian Muslim population and the Muslims all around the world this means a month of fasting. I wish all the Muslims success.

At 13 September I was at Pangkor to meet some friends including Mr. and Mrs. Beh. You may remember me mentioning them. They own a great little Ikan Bilis shop. They were also victims of the fire that razed many shoplots to the ground. You can check the Pangkor Forum for pictures how the main street looks like. Mr. Beh told me that on the 13th, yes, the same day, the first preparations had started for rebuilding the shops! Yippieeeeee!!!!!! Hopefully very soon I can show you some results of the first building activities!

Malay wedding

On the 21st and the 25th August I was guest at the Malay wedding of Mr.and Mrs. Sabtu's son Hazman who was getting married with Zurul Affza Binti Mohd Yusoff. Although I was not able to be present at the Mosque in Guar Chempedak, I was able to visit the rest of the day in the little town of the bride. Here's what happened that day:

Golf in Malaysia

Rocket Rice Cooking, an RCC

Multi tier rice cooking for a large group. At the Malay wedding in Kedah I witnessed something very special. The local men called it jokingly a rocket rice cooker.

Special for the young visitors I have added some puzzles:

Laksa, typical Malaysian dish

Laksa is a special kind of dish in Malaysia based on pasta and specific spicies. The taste can not be compared to anything else. And there are many different types. I have collected some of them, here's the page:
