I’ve not been updating my blog since January. Sorry about that.

The earliest reader comment that was left languishing in my moderation queue dated back to 4 Jan 2017 (below) — from commenter ‘surrhead’ @ 2017/01/04 at 5:33 pm.

Surrhead had complained that the price of ikan kembung (in January) shot up to RM10-12 per kilo.

He will be glad to hear that its current price has gone down to between RM1.40 and RM2 — see this March 16 Utusan report.

Commenter ‘chicken vindaloo’ remarked @ 2017/01/15 at 9:41 pm:

“These days, the prices at kopitiams are even [more] ridiculous, so I even learned to cook various dishes based on recipes that I found online. I don’t know whether I should thank DS Najib for this, but either way, it’s expensive. Even cooking is expensive, but at least, I can stretch more compared to eating out.”

Yeah, me too … belt tightening. I buy my dry groceries at Speedmart 99. It’s the cheapest there, most times.

The commenter calling himself ‘Formerly Known as FHAAHD’ asked @ 2017/01/18 at 6:58 am: “Are you ok, Helen? Still alive?”

Yup, alive. Only the good die young. I ain’t no saint.

I’m fine, thank you for the concern.

Thanks for the kind thoughts.
