My late father made the best stew in the world. When I moved to Malaya, I asked him for the recipe many times but he would never give it to me. I think it was his way of making sure I would return home to Sabah to visit.
A year before he was diagnosed with cancer, he finally wrote down the recipe; beautiful cursive handwriting on an A4 writing pad. I was meaning to transcribe it onto something more permanent, but never got around doing it. And then? I lost the recipe a week later, but dare not tell him.
I thought I’d just figure it out and watch him do it the next trip around, hoping he won’t notice me type notes over my phone.
I never got that chance.
Just 2 months after he was diagnosed with lung cancer, we lost him.
Since he left, I’ve been trying to perfect the recipe - researching the many beef stew recipes over the internet but nothing matched Daddy’s stew.
I asked mum, what was his secret ingredient? She had no clue.
He purposely hid “his secret”. A silly 🙄joke that never grew old on h̶i̶m̶ us.
Why oh why did I lose that recipe? If I had to be completely honest? When he passed it to me - I didn’t really read it. I was just shocked that he passed it on at the airport.
I guess he knew his time was coming soon but we didn’t know that. How were we to know that? He was as fit as a fiddle despite being a bit jiggly around the waistline from downing too much 10-3 (beer).
Fast forward to another child later,
I managed to somewhat get the recipe right using the pressure cooker and it was this recipe that ironically, curated my parody video of “Pons Tambunan Mixer” 𝚈𝚎𝚜. 𝚂𝚊𝚢𝚊 𝚖𝚎𝚗𝚐𝚊𝚔𝚞 𝚜𝚊𝚢𝚊 𝚊𝚍𝚊 𝚜𝚎𝚍𝚒𝚔𝚒𝚝 𝚍𝚎𝚗𝚐𝚔𝚒 𝚘𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚐 𝚕𝚊𝚒𝚗 𝚊𝚍𝚊 𝚃𝙼𝚇.
I’m adapting this recipe over Moe and once it’s what I remember it as, I hope to share it over for others to try.
That’s why food can bring people together and create such beautiful memories. I’ve tasted other delicious stews, but that nostalgic taste of Dad’s stew is just so ingrained in my taste buds - it makes missing the old man feel, a little less painful.
Dreamt of you dad.Hope you’re having a ball and not being too mischievous. Missing you, your Ponxy.

剛剛親愛嘅姐姐send咗一段帖文比我睇~
想喺呢度分享一下☺️
*********************************
當你接觸的人越多,層面越高,你會發現,越高端,越有教養的人,大都會相互支持,抱團發展,因為你好了,大家都會一起很好!
越低端,層次越低的人,越是喜歡詆毀忌妒,相互拆台,彼此鄙視,因為我不好,我也不讓你好?! 這話真的很有道理
沒見過世面的人,最不能容忍別人知道的比自己多,沒有能力的人,最見不得別人平步青雲,從不努力的人總是猜疑別人的成功是用旁門左道或者是靠運氣
層次越低,越見不得別人比自己好
你永遠不知道在別人嘴中的你會有多少版本,也不會知道別人為了維護自己而說過什麼去詆毀你,更無法阻止那些不切實際的閒話
而你能做的就是置之不理,更沒必要去解釋澄清,懂你的人永遠相信你
我最喜歡的一句話:如果你沒瞎,就別從別人嘴裡認識我!
很多你覺得是天大的事情,當你急切的向別人傾訴詢問時,在別人眼中也許只是件小事,他最多不痛不癢呵呵的應和著,因為他不是你,他無法感知你那種激烈的情緒
直到有一天,你覺得無需再向別人提起時,你就已經挽救了你自己
這世界上除了你自己以外,沒有誰可以真正幫到你
其實我們並不需要去詆毀別人來提升自己,也不需要時時把自己放在道德制高點去批判別人,大家都是一樣,尊重對手,尊重朋友,相扶相守才能相互成就
你要的感覺優秀不必透過詆毀別人來維護 。
做事如此,做人也是。

American Cursive (西洋草書) 是其中一種西洋書法字體。草書書寫的發展是從以往需要壓筆及提起筆劃,逐漸改變為刪掉壓筆,而字母與字母間延續筆劃,這可以令書法家書寫時速度提升得更快。
