Love thy neighbour

"Ahnyong hasayo..."

That's how you greet someone in Korean. I hear this phrase almost daily as I have a Korean family as my neighbour.

Mr Kim the head of the family is a very friendly and dignified man. We bump into each other almost everyday leaving for work in the morning. His wife on the other hand is, well... a bit 'stiff'. I don't think she is unfriendly, but I think her limited English is somewhat a deterrent for her communication with non-Koreans.

Yesterday, I baked a chocolate cake and shared some with the neighbours.

And yes, (Z -- you're maybe right!!)... this blog is slowly turning into a food blog?? hehe...

I say...I'm drooling nih!

I hope the yummylicious cake had managed to "unstiffen" Mrs. Kim somewhat :)

Food blog or not, it doesn't matter, sis - as long as you blog. You've got two of the best therapies 2 in 1 - cooking AND blogging. Sangat baik untuk kesihatan...Hehehe!

Aida -- I knew something was wrong with my entry title... tenung banyak kali rupanya got 'neighbour' spelt not quite right (dah betulkan). Pastu after tenung the word again, Kylie Minogue came to mind!! LOL (it's almost midnight and my mind is obviously only good for merapu meraban!) hehe

MHB said...

MHB said...

wanshana -- meh I bagi tuala kecik nak lap your drool... heheh
