Deepavali goodies

I was working on Deepavali day so I didn't have the time to visit my worker, Saras. Anyway, it was nice of her to bring some fried rice with curry chicken for me..I love it! Yummy! The boss had already given something to her a few days ago..

Then the next day, a customer gave the above goodies to us through my staff.
My girl loves the kacang. My mum took the kuih and the jelly home to Taiping.
Only left the murukku which my hubby would love to eat but right now, he's down with sore throat.
So those murukku have to wait.
The boss said that he would personally give the customer something in return later.

Today, another customer gave the above goodies to me personally.
She was happily shopping at my shop and I gave her a box of chocolate.
We were chatting away about 'kolam' and I asked her to take part in the contest on my shop's facebook page.
We were so absorbed in chit-chatting that she had forgotten to pay me 
and I had forgotten to ask for payment.
Luckily I realised on time and quickly ran out to ask her kindly:

"I'm sorry, have you paid me?"
She was so sorry and kept apologizing..
Well, it just happened and it's not her intention.. :)

I had tasted all of the goodies but I gave some away to my staff.


Later in the night, another customer gave me some muruku.
In return, I also gave him a box of chocolates.
I distributed those murukku to my staff and workers.

Actually I don't quite fancy murukku..

Anyway, it's nice of them to give..

Thank you to my customers..

    very nice of your customers to give you all the cookies. Deepavali cookies are some what a little different from the Raya Cookies and Chinese New Year cookies.

Twin bananas

Image
Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
