Merdeka flewwww soo fast.And all we did was watch fireworks go bang bang bang.Andrew said it's Million Ringgit gone in minutes.But worth it-la to see all the bright lights and bang bang here and there.We didn't do much.Just hang out in our Regular Spot "the Padang". And so how did i spend the week before Merdeka?Shopping for 25 families.Yes Shopping...Our church organized a trip to an Orang Asli settlement somewhere near Tapah.My job was to buy the food.Yup here's the pic of 50% of the food from my car boots.I had to vacume the next day just in case ants start nesting in the car.3 guys had the task.Mr Wong,Mr Wong and Mr Ong.It's funny to buy sooo many cans of sweetened condensed milk an filling it into the shopping card.Then the Maggie Mee,Salt and Sugar.The worst part was buying the 28 Packets of 10kg rice.Even seen someone buying soo much??
And here's a fact for you guys...Did You Knowwwww That we Thai Rice is controlled item in the Retail Outlets??? So you are not allowed to buy 28 bags or rice per family per day in a single receipt...Buttttt you can do so with Local Rice... Ohhhhh And Nowssss You KNowsssss.Yeah No kidding I had to go for the local rice with Dato or Datuk Jalaluddin Hassan on it with says Local Rice.The total bill came out to nearly Rm500 just for the rice alone.And here's another fact.Did you know the the Carrefour shopping trolleys are pretty strong and can withstand your shopping groceries up to 140kg and equivalent of 14 bags of 10kg rice...Ohhh and Nowsss you knowsss.I was really surprised that 2 trolleys are needed just to hold 28 bags of 10kg rice (total of 280kg).Everyone kept staring at us like the election is coming and it looks are if we're going to stay at home just in case something bad happens and we'll run out of rice. 
Here's a picture of the church that we attended and we had a fun time with these people(oh yeah we visited them after merdeka 1 Sept 2007).They live really simple lives kids play with Lastic for entertainment and what do they shoot??? Birds, Squirrels, Insect and blah blah blah.Someone did ask them if they had any worries in their life... They answered "Nope we don't have any worries".Puts us all to shame where we live in brick homes airconditioned and all that but still worry alot every single thing in the world today...
These families have a Huge Waterfall as their playground.Fresh Air,Fresh Water and Fresh Fruits.We got a taste of their fresh fruits bananans that taste really really good.Some It was a good trip.Helps me to remember how we should all just be like them contented with what we all have.Oops sorry no pictures of the Orang Asli (they do wear clothes and we did donate used clothes for them).
What else??? Oh yeah I've got a new toy...
Hehehe. It's not actually my new toy rather it belongs to the company.The thing is they didn't gave me a screen protector so I was asking my sis should I buy one?? Then again why should I ? After all it doesn't belong to me what...So how? All I did was to ask my dear sister to give me a sticker.And I got a green worm hahaha.Just in case I misplace it with my colleagues and then all I have to do is find the green worm.Don't ask me what model cos all I knwo now it's a green worm model ...
Here's how the whole thing looks like.I'll call it green wormie?? Gonna say bye bye to sms-ing while driving...I did went hunting for furniture over in the evening and nearly got conned by a Malay Furniture Shop Lady.Then again that's anther story.Will use the green wormie to take pictures already.HAve a great week people...
