Celebration Hari Raya in Perth

I'm sure Jo missed her Ayam Masak Merah and Beef Rendangs this year. Her eyes always shine so brightly when she talks about ayam masak merah, unfortunately my Ayam Masah Merak attempts in the past haven't been great so I'll have to try it again some other time.

We were invited to Ars's house for Hari Raya again this year. He cooked two large bowls of Beef Rendang and Chicken Rendang. We also had store bought ketupat and satay sauce. Very yummy. His rendangs were very spicy and tasted great with ketupat, must get his rendang recipe next time.

I didn't cook any meat dishes this year and provided desserts instead.


My first attempt at Kueh Salat. Hehe, a bit messy and badly cut but will do. Everyone seemed to like it and finished everything. We're deprived lah.


Pandan flavoured and coconut milk agaragar. At least two distinct layers showed up. The agar agar was supposed to be green in colour but I didn't have any green food colouring hence it was boring white.


Konnyaku jelly with mixed fruit pieces. I chinchai grabbed a packet of konnyaku jelly powder without realising that it was guava flavoured. Luckily the jelly was quite refreshing especially with the fruit bits.

It's Sunday night now and the weekend is officially over. It went by too fast I think. Tons of work due tomorrow so I'm doing some last minute work and hopefully things will go well tomorrow. Will need to have the quit job talk with my supervisor tomorrow. I still can't believe that she beat me to the chase and resigned before I did!

Quitting feels very scary. A bit like falling off the edge of the world and not knowing what's going to happen next. I can't decide whether I'm considered a failure or whether I should think of quitting as letting go and moving on.

The stress and worry from this job completely consumed my life these past 4 months. What happens after you fall off the edge of the world?
