Hari Raya Gathering

Few days ago, my Malay staff, M suggested that we had a gathering today and of course I fully supported it. Usually I was the one to suggest such gathering but I was glad this time, she initiated it herself.

She has her expertise in chicken rendang so today we had chicken rendang. She wanted to sponsor all but I wouldn't allow that. Chang Jiang had to sponsor part of  the expenses.

But the chicken rendang had to go with the nasi kunyit which was prepared by my Indian staff, S.
My other staff and a part-time worker sponsored the glutinous rice.

fried wanton

by these two part-time workers.
Chang Jiang sponsored the expenses.
The longan drink was sponsored by another staff.

I invited my former staff.

Also invited my Pureen sales promoter who has resigned from the company.

This was what I had for lunch.

We had a scrumptious lunch and thanks to all my people.

Selamat Hari Raya to 
Mariah and her family!

    Hello Wenn,

    What a "muhibbah" gathering to foster better working relationship. Good of M to sponsor the chicken rendang and to initiate this gathering.

    Good night Wenn. Sleep well.

    nice!! love the way you had the gathering for festive seasons, and everyone was so happily involved.. simple rendang, nasi kunyit, fried wantan and longan water, but i guess that's enough to bond the people all together huh?? after all, it's the gathering which is more important than the food :)

    It is a splendid idea to have this kind of gathering - get to know each other better and of course, invited our former staff to join in as well. The more people the merrier!

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..
