Bazaar Ramadhan


Last month we were searching for a spot at any bazar Ramadhan which of course, is an impossible mission to accomplish. The bazaar is either taken up or being sublet at an exorbitant price. I heard some lots at Jln TAR was sublet at RM5K for the whole Ramadhan !

It is an open secret where people, the powers that be, have 10 lots booked under their spouses', siblings' and makneneks' name and in return get thier respective cut.

And we ? We just have tons of doa as our weapon.

When Bro Chef went to inquire the lots at UIA, they had 100 lots on offer but only two left for grabs. The next day when we went again to submit the forms, certs etc & pay for the lot, there's only ONE lot left. Ahhh.... it is still our rezeki. Syukurrr.... we are the 100th applicant.

I told Bro Chef, the millionaire M@wi is the 100th contestant when he was auditioning for @stro's AF. Sooooo..... maybe we'll also end up being filthy rich just like him, minus all the gossips of course. He he heee...

Anyway... we'll be at UIA Gombak Bazaar Ramadhan Lot No.84 from 2nd till 25th September 2008 and will be selling Nasi Kerabu & Nasi Minyak !

So to all my beloved readers, may I wish you all ....

Selamat Menyambut Bulan Ramadhan Al-Mubarak !

Kawan

Hello everybody... please meet my guppies! Guppies are good companion. They will always be there for you... You just have to feed them everyday ;-)


When I hear a friend having problems with another friend, all I can say is... at this age, I no longer have friendship problems. Just ignore those who have wronged you and leave. There is no point arguing about nothing.

You can easily spot fair weather friends. They will only appear when you have made a name. They are never near when you need them the most.

Life is all about choices. Choose wisely.

Nabi SAW bersabda yang bermaksud:

“Kawan pendamping yang salih ibarat penjual minyak wangi. Apabila dia tidak memberi minyak wangi, kamu akan mencium keharumannya.

Sedangkan kawan pendamping yang buruk ibarat tukang besi. Apabila kamu tidak dijilat oleh apinya, kamu akan terkena asapnya.”

(Hadis riwayat al-Bukhari)

08.08.08

[Photo : Our 'Beeeeloved' next door neighbour at Tok Li]
I am sure all hours in today's diary for Tok Imams, Tok Sami, Tok Paderi etc are all fully booked up. Everybody wants to mark this special date for the most memorable event in their life. We also have a catering order for a wedding ceremony tonight.

I still remember in 1988, August the 8th, the first princess of the second prince of Queen EIIR was induced to see the world (I still don't think it's a natural birth) so that she can have a birth cert with 08.08.88 number on it.

I know a lot of people will pay a lot of dosh just to have a No.8 on their car plate number.One tycoon even left a blank cheque at JPJ to have that number booked!

Our beeeeloved neighbour at Tok Li , instead of naming his eatery something like "Yee Kum Kee Curry Mee", has a signboard that simply has number "88888888" on it (as per above photo). The numbers were supposed to be for prosperity but... 8 months down the road (starting last week), they're now cutting down operating hours, closing at 4.00pm instead of the usual 12midnight.
(nb. I will tell you later why I call them our 'beeeeeloved' neighbour).

I, my brother & my niece, the three of us share the same birth date on April 28th. There is NO way I can afford a No.28 number plate... emmm...speaking of which... I don't mind taking over this black beauty at a Perdana's price. Read the story here.

Errr...what more to have that number plate with MY initials ! TA is yours truly, M is my dad's. and 28?? Hehhhh!
