Certified Vaccination Completed!

26th July is finally here! It was the day for my 2nd dose vaccination. Few days earlier, I received an sms notification and also an automated voice call  to remind me of my appointment. For my 1st dose at the Indera Mulia Stadium, it took me 3 hours 40 mins because of the big crowd. For my 2nd dose, it was a drive thru at the same place and the whole process took about 1 hour 30 minutes. Some of my friends who went on a different day took only 20 mins to clear the whole process.

Sunrise at 7:12am to start the new day.

It was misty on the Kledang Hill (on the reverse side) at 7:12am.

Morning sky at 7:20am

Still misty on the Kledan hill.

We walked to the Dim Sum Restaurant to buy breakfast.

Yam puffs and siew mai dim sum.

Crispy and flaky skin with moist filling.

Steamed buns: "san yuk pao" for hubby (left) and "wong chow kai yuk pao" for me (right).

Cut into halves to show the fillings.

We joined the long queue of cars going into the ground of the stadium at about 11:30am. There were 2 queues and we were on the left side.

We passed the 1st check point where my temperature was scanned, checking of my vaccine card and consent form. Now heading towards to 2nd check point.

I had my 1st dose done inside this indoor stadium (Indera Mulia).

Approaching the vaccination booths to receive my 2nd dose.

I was shown the syringe with the amount of vaccine before and after the jab, the empty syringe. By the time we reached home, it was about 1pm. Time for lunch.

I heated up the steamed big bun and fish balls which I bought in the morning and kept aside for lunch.

Yummy fish balls at RM2.50 each.

Steamed big bun (tai pau) at RM6. We shared the big bun.

After lunch and a short rest, I tried to take a short nap.

When I woke up from my nap, hubby reminded me about the spoon experiment. I didn't expected anything but was shocked to see the metal spoon sticking to both my arms with my own eyes! Could this be due to some of our bodies having some kind of static electricity? But one thing I was very sure, the weather was very warm and it could be due to the sweat and sticky arms. Anyone has a better explaination? Or did I become a magnetic woman?

I called to order 3 pairs of fried chicken wing and 1 portion of fried rice.

The portion of fried rice is big and is enough for 2 people.

While hubby went to collect the food, I sauteed napa cabbage and carrot with dried shrimp.

Crispy fried chicken wings.

Update on post vaccination: After 1st jab, I didn't sleep well on the 1st night. After both jabs, there was no tiredness or sleepiness except for the soreness of the arm that was injected.

I received my digital vaccination certificate on MySejahtera app on the same day I completed the 2nd dose.

Linking to Happy Tuesday, Image-in-ing & Tuesday's Treasures.

Many people say, "Who will show us better times?"

Let your face smile on us, LORD.

You have given me greater joy than those

who have abundant harvests of grain and new wine.

In peace I will lie down and sleep,

for you alone, O LORD, will keep me safe.

(Psalm 4:6-8, The Living Bible-TLB)

Indonesian Rendang Paste With Pork And Potato

A morning with gloomy sky but the weather was warm and humid.

7:20am - facing the Kledang Hill.

On the way back, hubby bought a packet of economy fried beehoon with fried egg and sambal from the roadside stall.

That morning, I prefer to eat toast with jam.

After I finished the apricot spread, I opened the orange and ginger spread. I love these because of the fruit chunk in the spread.

That morning I harvest some chives buds.

For lunch, we had noodle (mee sua) with the leftover black chicken herbal soup.

Something was wrong with one of my brinjal or aubergine plant.

The leaves started to turn yellow.

This plant which is from the same pot is normal, so I discarded the one with the yellow leaves.

We received 5 steamed buns from our neighbour which we kept in the fridge for the next day's breakfast.

This hibiscus is happy with the warm weather, has been flowering none stop.

I stock checked the instant pastes I had and decided to use the above Indonesian rendang paste to cook rendang using pork and potatoes.

I also added in turmeric (kunyit) leaves, thinly shredded to the rendang.

Blanched baby choy sum and home grown chive buds, drizzled with garlic oil, oyster and soy sauce.

Appetizing dinner for 2 people.

The Chinese character means filial.

The character of even a child can be known by the way he acts

- whether what he does is pure and right.
