5/6* of the family goes mamaking**

*1/6 is in Singapore -- I miss her -- and another 1/6 is heading south tomorrow.

**A note for non-Malaysians: "mamaking" ≠ a second-person street joke about maternal parent ≠ matriarchy. Rather, "mamak" = collloquial term for Indian Muslims = any one of many wonderful roti/naan/dhosai/rice/curry/tandoori stalls run by members of said people group; "-ing" = suffix that is useful when you want to pretend that you are making a gerund.

"What soup did you get? Sup kambing or what?"
"Of course she got kambing lah. She likes lamb what."
"Goat. Goat."
"Aah? Oh right ... eh my friend just pointed out to me earlier this year that sup kambing is mutton soup and not lamb. But I keep forgetting."
"Aiya but of course it's not lamb. Who says 'sup biri-biri'?"
"..." / *lol* / "Hah what did he say?" / "What is 'biri-biri'?"
"I think lamb soup should be 'sup domba'. Because people call Jesus 'Domba Allah'."
"Wait, I thought 'domba' means 'shepherd'?"
"..."
"Well, the soup's good."
