The Shopping Spree Begins

Star Q

Today's the fifteenth day of Ramadan and already you can see the shoppers are gearing up for the festivities. Malaysia is such a unique country such that when one part of the people celebrates a certain festival the rest of the nation will rush along together.  One example is our Hari Raya.  When the Malays' shopping frenzy get into fever pitch, the rest of the nation, the Chinese, Indians and the rest, follow suit and become embroiled in the festivities.

This morning I saw people buying food stuff to stock up for Hari Raya.  Even though there's still two more weeks to go, people are already buying food, even perishables, just in case there won't be enough for Hari Raya.

Well, I choose not to stock up like the proverbial squirrel stocking up nuts for winter!  I am optimistic there is still time to buy things.

After Two Years.....

Can't believe that I have been too busy to write that I have actually left this blog untouched for two long years.  A lot of thing...
