En Kasim dan Keluarga - Kisah Benar di Bulan Ramadhan

Read my story

Ini kisah benar, bukan rekaan semata-mata. Benar-benar terjadi pada beberapa hari yang lepas.

Pada hari Sabtu yang lalu, En Kasim (bukan nama sebenar) telah membawa seisi keluarga beliau berbuka puasa di Restoran Nasi Arab Samad (bukan nama sebenar) yang terletak di sekitar ibu kota. En Kasim dan En Samad telah lama berkawan malah agak rapat juga. En Kasim tertarik untuk membawa keluarga beliau berbuka di Restoran Nasi Arab Samad kerana promosi yang ditawarkan. Potongann 50% diskon diberikan kepada pelanggan-pelanggan Restoran Nasi Arab Samad sempena mempromosikan juadah buffet berbuka puasa mereka yang mana promosi ini sebagai percubaan untuk menarik lebih ramai pelanggan dan hanya untuk minggu pertama puasa sahaja.

Tanpa berlengah-lengah lagi En Kasim segera menelefon Restoran tersebut untuk membuat tempahan meja terlebih dahulu, takut juga sesudah sampai disana restoran penuh pula. Sebelum itu, En Kasim sempat menanyakan pada pekerja yang menjawab telefon beliau samada promosi itu masih valid. Ya, alhamdulillah sehingga Khamis depan kata pekerja itu. Risau juga En Kasim jika terlebih caj nanti maklumlah banyak juga yang orang-orang makan sampai beribu-ribu ringgit dan share di facebook.

Selesai solat Asar, En Kasim dan keluarga terus bertolak ke Restoran tersebut memandangkan Restoran itu terletak di sekitar ibu kota yang mana jalan sesak adalah perkara yang biasa di kawasan itu. En Kasim tiba agak awal disana pada hari itu. Jalan pula agak lengang. Agaknya orang ramai memilih untuk berbuka puasa bersama keluarga dirumah pada awalan puasa. En Kasim menunggu azan Maghrib bersama keluarga dengan penuh sabar.

En Kasim mengetuai keluarga beliau dengan membaca doa berbuka puasa setibanya azan Maghrib kedengaran. En Kasim dan keluarga beliau menikmati juadah buffet itu dengan berselera sekali. Hidangannya menyelerakan dan banyak pilihan, bermula dari juadah pembuka selera sehinggalah ke dessert. Semua serba lengkap. Kemudahan surau juga disediakan oleh pihak Restoran itu untuk pelanggan-pelanggan yang berkunjung.

En Kasim berpuas hati dan telah menyarankan agar rakan-rakan serta ahli keluarga yang lain untuk cuba juadah buffet berbuka puasa di Restoran Nasi Arab Samad. Berbaloi katanya. Lagipun En Samad itu kawan baik beliau tidak salah rasanya jika beliau tolong mempromosikan Restoran kawan baik beliau.

Dua hari kemudian, pada petang yang agak sibuk dengan kertas kerja yang hendak disiapkan sebelum pulang berbuka bersama keluarga En Kasim menerima panggilan  melalui telefon bimbit dari kawan beliau En Samad.

En Kasim: Salam. Mad apa khabar ?
En Samad: Khabar baik. Terima kasihlah bawa keluarga kau datang makan kat restoran aku hari tu.
En Kasim: Sama-sama. Sedap Mad makan kat Restoran kau. Boleh pergi lagi nih. Aku siap ajak kawan-kawan lain lagi nak pergi sama nanti.
En Samad: Baguslah macam tu. Sim aku nak bagitau kau ni..
En Kasim: Ye, nak bagitau apa Mad ?
En Samad: Takde, aku cuma nak bagitau yang masa kau datang bawa keluarga kau haritu tu ada lagi baki RM106. Nanti bila-bila kau free kau datanglah, tak payah datang hari ni pun takpe. Aku cuma nak bagitau je.
En Kasim: Eh, baki bayaran apa pulak ni Mad ? Haritu aku bayar cash.
En Samad: Takde, macam ni... Haritukan aku buat promosi 50% diskon untuk minggu pertama.
En Kasim: Ha yelah, betul lah tu
En Samad: Tapi lepas aku kira-kira balik kan, aku tak dapat untung lah Sim bila buat 50% diskon tu. Jadi, aku tak jadilah bagi diskon 50% tu. Aku cuma boleh bagi diskon 30% je. Sebab tu tadi aku bagitau kau ada baki bayaran RM106.
En Kasim: .....................................................................

*Berfikir seketika

En Kasim: Tapi kenapa RM106 Mad? Bukan RM100 je ke? Harga makan RM100 seorang. Diskon 50% jadi RM50. Kalau diskon 30% jadi RM70 lah sorang. Haritu dah bayar RM50 x 5 orang. Jadi baki RM20 x 5 = RM100 patutnya kan
En Samad: RM6 GST Sim...
En Kasim: !@#$%^&**()(*&^%%$##@!~@#$%^^&**(((((&^%$#!!!!

Jika anda ditempat En Kasim apakah tindakan yang wajar anda lakukan?
Jika anda ditempat En Kasim adakah anda akan menyelesaikan baki RM106 itu?
Jika anda ditempat En Kasim apakah respon yang akan anda beri kepada En Samad?
Jika anda ditempat En Kasim apakah perasaan anda pada masa itu?
Jika anda ditempat En Kasim mahukah anda membawa keluarga anda ke restoran itu lagi?
Jika anda ditempat En Kasim mahukah anda menyarankan rakan-rakan dan keluarga yang lain untuk berkunjung ke restoran itu?
Bagaimana pula dengan peranan En Kasim terhadap keluarga, rakan-rakan dan sahabat baik beliau En Samad?

Jika anda ditempat En Samad pula, apa peranan dan tanggungjawab anda terhadap pelanggan-pelanggan anda dan kawan baik anda ?

Collection of cute little thingy - Pin bling bling

I started this hobby few months ago (of course this not the only hobbies I currently have). End up I have so many of them in my collection. I believe there's someone else out there who have a lot more than mine. I believe so. Because this cute little pin is so cute, and little and blink blink that make themselves easily attract people to bring them home ! You wont have enough just by own one piece or pair and they addicted too ! :O:O:O

Paper Doll - Girls will always be a girl

Image from http://www.enchanteddoll.com

Too early to encounter a mid life crisis, so I call this an early stage of mid life crisis syndrome. My obsession towards paper doll lead me to this expensive enchanted doll cost up to $78k. I never knew this doll exist until now. Her beauty is so enchanted, the more I stare the more make me goes crazy about this doll thingy.  There's a unique story for every enchanted doll in their website. The doll itself is very unique where they have moving joint that make her look real special compare to any other doll in the market. Barbie doll? Nahhh they not even real.

Girl will always be a girl. I believe so. The story began yesterday when I suddenly search for paper doll in internet. I read one by one people's posting about their paper doll hoping to read about where they bought their paper doll. I'm willingly to go anywhere that lead me to this paper doll as long as I can have them! I'm already imagining to put them in a photo album to keep them save and capture some flat lay with them for my next blog posting. 

So today started my adventure for this paper doll in the middle of the heat  while others will keep on stay in shades. I went to all "kedai runcit" that I know in the neighborhood. But its not my luck just yet. This disappointment has not weaken my obsession just yet! So I went to book store nearby thinking that changing on nowadays lifestyles that people might buy things like this in a book store whereby I'm used to buy them from "kedai runcit" nearby my primary school. As soon as I enter book store I keep on looking all around. As I cannot wait any longer, I show picture of my search to this sales girl. She said, she saw this before in the store and might still have this. I'm happy enough just to hear she said that ! Turn out, its run out of stock and didnt know when will they restock. T_T!

Nevermind, I will keep on searching for them untill I find them and I promise to bring them all home and not letting any one to be left alone in the store. I promise !

Incase if anyone still wondering what is paper doll or anak patung kertas. Its only cost up to 20-50 cent 15 years back. Depending on the paper quality and its design. I'm currently working on this paper doll unfortunately this project do not have a due date. Sadly, I cannot promise myself when will this project finish. Honestly, my daily work routine schedule has been filled up until.. hurmm dont  know until when.

A Solution to Cracked and Dry Lips - MAC Prep + Prime

I used to have a sensitive lips. By wearing lipstick can make my lips swollen, cracked and dry.  All this time I have been using Vaseline and other lip balm and rarely put a lipstick on. Yes, people say beauty is pain. But still, I'm not going to put a lipstick on knowing that my lips will get swollen in a few hours.

So I finally found this MAC Prep + Prime lips. Introduced by MAC sales person, thanks to him :) Specialties about this product is, its a color free base that make it can be wear under any lipstick. Of course it put additional light moisture, smoothest and refines the rough line of our lips. It also keep lipstick on longer than usual.

So grab yours now ! NO, Mac did not pay me for this  ^_^!

Eyes on Blues

Recently, no matter where I go my eyes easily attract to blue color.  I keep on looking for blue handbags, blue shoes, blue shirt or anything with blue color. I assume this blue color has something to do with my blues feeling lately. I'm advising myself not to spend too much this month since my investment on Sephora always goes up and up.

So, I always have this thought in my mind whenever I go for shopping. Only buy thing that I'm gonna wear/use. Never ever buy thing if I hesitate because end of the day it will only hang in a closet for ages and end up goes to donation or goes to maid. Yes, I did this before. Cleaning my closet and gave her large collection of mine. There goes my hard work. T_T!

Pssstt....I want them all !!! Oh oh mama going to Spain tomorrow, should I ask her to buy me Furla or Micheal Kors? Of course I have to pay her back, but if didnt have to, it would be better ! Hee.. I'm more into Furla, but Micheal Kors is nice too. Get both ? Noooo !! I'm saving for yearly trip oh. Ok, need to decide fast. Guess I need a flower to make a better decision. Duhhhh ~

Love at a first sight

Saw a beautiful beauty yesterday in a Pavilion KL who catches my eyes at the first moment. It's a love at a first sight. Yes darling, love at a first sight. Never thought that I could feel this kind of love again. Not just her, her other siblings are beauty too. Everyone around her are beautiful like a moon surrounding by a sparkling stars.

I look at her, study her, admire her beauty, wanted to put her on and accidentally saw her price tag RM500++ T_T! There goes my love, cost me RM500++ to love and to be love. Her name is Melissa. She will forever be in my top list even she's a demanding diva to me.

Melissa has a cousin name Furla. Furla is an attractive, charming with an enchanted beauty. She is not a diva like Melissa but more to a princess. Her price tag far beyond Melissa if you must know. Furla will forever be the love of my heart. Deep inside.Silently. I'm gonna have princess in my collection soon ! At least for bag of the year heee~

While Jelly Bunny is Melissa far long lost relatives who carry a beauty like her even she cannot be compared to. JB is nice, cute and considerate in her price tag. She carry an affordable price for everyone. I have two of her in my collection. One of them not being nice me since she didnt grant me comfort when I walk with her. However this French Bag looks seducing with affordable price. Ting ! $$$

Birthday Bash of Me and GST

Although I feels like I'm no longer should do a celebration because of the increasing numbers and since whole people of the nations not so looking forward for today new baby born name GST. Welcome to Malaysia baby G. Now that you are part of us, lets be nice to each other shall we?

Sephora being generous to me too even she a little late. She should send me her email before 12.05am so that I can utilise her generosity well. This is last warning Ms Sephora, you better prepare for next year.

Hubby being super nice too. Thank you darling ~ :)

So, I got few things as my birthday gifts yesterday from hubby and self purchase. Will publish them as a review on next post.

Choice of Daily Make Up

Noticing that I'm rarely post my selfie nowadays maybe because lack of confidence in a way of dressing, make up, skin condition and many more. I put an effort by doing self investment for facial twice/once a month, quality product for skin care and choice of make up that suitable for my skin, of course they cost me a fortune !

Honestly, I'm new to this hobby since they demand sum of monthly allocation budget to do so. Still learning by visiting Sephora and other make up outlet anywhere and anytime when I got chances.Once I get myself involve in this haunted hobby I have to do a lot of thinking, calculation and consideration every time I walk in to the make up store ! Believe me, I cant control myself. I dont want end up buying things that I will not use which I have a few in my collection.
