Ramadan Bazaar
















Baba's thought for today.
"When you feel that you cannot do good,
at least desist from doing evil"

We should all be accountable for our own decisions and actions. Following the quote for today, let us lead a simple, considerate lifestyle and let all our actions be guided by the values that we hold.

Walking through the Ramadan bazaar which was set up for this sole purpose, I feel thankful that Malaysians are able to enjoy the festivals practised by the different races. The whole place was a hive of activity but of particular interest to me was the food section.

Besides the Muslim shoppers, the non muslims also took the opportunity to purchase the different delicacies, cooked dishes and cookies.

The variety displayed for sale was so wide that the shoppers were spolit for choice. Whilst the roaring business was good for the traders.I could not resist the variety of curries for sale. The curry 'merah 'ayam, the 'kerabu' bean sprout, and the 'sambal' fish, (all pictured) were my first choice for dinner tonight. Then I bought some cakes for desserts. My favourites were the tapioca pudding, and the 'batik' cake.

The Holy month of Ramadan is indeed a joyful and meaningful month for the Muslims, through their observance of their religious obligations are able to develop strong will power, strength their faith and preserve their culture. "Selamat hari Raya Aidil Fitri"
