Humid alert!

I am feeling hot, humid and sticky now. Today we are experiencing a rather hot and humid weather.
It reminds me of the weather back home in Malaysia. Maybe I am being pampered with this cold country weather for almost 5 years, I totally forgot about the humidity that we had back home in Penang.

I cannot turn on the air-conditioner due to FIL down with cold. So, we can only turn on the ceiling fan and do our best to keep cool!
In such a weather like this, I really do not wish to cook at all..but i have no choice.
So, what we had today was Chee Cheung Fun (a type of chinese noodles). We bought some chee cheung fun and some shrimp and fish balls and mix some hoi sin sauce to go with it. We also add some cucumber. To keep us cool, we made some carrot, celery, tomatoes, apples, and lemon juice for everyone.
Turned out to be a simple and cooling dinner. Oh yea, due to they had only 2 packets of chee cheung fun (we need 3) so i bought 1 chinese yam to make steamed yam cake (orr kuih or woo tau kou)
call me crazy..but i miss my orr kuih in Penang!

Now, almost 8 pm, feeling soo sticky and hot, still haven't got my shower yet... i thought i drop by and surf a bit with my little wonderful fan on!
Ahhhhhhhhhh...can feel those cool breeze! :)
