A KAMPONG GIRL'S OATH

OATH NO 1

I PLEDGE, to the best of my ability and judgement, to include a variety of , or at least one type of ULAM ,accompanied by either SAMBAL BELACAN, BUDU OR CENCALOK , and not excluding fried ikan masin on the side, into every rice meal that my family and i consume for the rest of or lives.

OATH NO 2

I VOW to plant, nurture and maintain, a sufficient number of trees ,that shall provide an endless supply of CILI PADI , or maybe for extra credit , plant some KACANG PANJANG, BENDI and TOMATOES, for my whole family’s daily intake in order to prevent them from swallowing any more of the lethal doses of chemical base pesticides.

OATH NO 3

I shall encourage, if not persuade , family and friends to consume the commonly served and easily available ulams, such as his majesty ULAM RAJA, lady PEGAGA , dynamite DAUN GAJUS, miss aromatic PETAI and the crunchy le JERING ......or at least the cool and collected CUCUMBER , in order to help them maintain a well balanced, hassle free, simply chew, "kambing" diet provided by nature that is going to ensure their health and well being for years to come, insyaAllah.

OATH NO 4

I SHALL introduce to all my family and friends the nutritious values of “DESIGNER ULAMS” such as “JARUM TUJUH BILAH” and “SAMBUNG NYAWA” to give them more options to the above ulam choices

OATH NO 5

WHILE I CONTINUE to keep this Oath unviolated may it be granted to me to enjoy life and the practice of the art and science of nature’s medicinal values through ULAM consumption, with the blessing of Allah and respected by my family and friends.

OATH NO 6

WHATEVER IN CONNECTION with my professional practice of ULAM consumption or not in connection with it I may see or hear in the lives of my family and friends which ought be spoken abroad, I will divulge, reckoning that all such information should NOT be kept secret.
