Cicah



My brother went balik kampung last week and brought me back some "apple" mango...at least that's what we "northern people" call it - Mempelam Apple (We dont say mango, that's cakap orang KL..hehe). They are half-ripe so i found a tub of kuah rojak in the fridge. I cant remember how it got there, mum must have brought it her last trip here.

So there you go, CICAH!!! Its a funny word rite when u spell it out, but cicah sorang sorang not as much fun. I am reminded of childhood days when cicah is almost an event, round keliling rumah tengok pokok ada buah tak, kait lepas tu kupas and cicah ramai-ramai. That's how its supposed to be.
