Syawal 2013 part 4: Sawadikapp shopping..

Since my hometown is in Perlis, I've grabbed the opportunity to visit Wang Klian. Actually it's a border between Malaysia and Satun(Thailand). Maybe you guys have visited Padang Besar and Bukit Kayu Hitam before but Wang Klian is definitely different.

The price is much cheaper comparing to Padang Besar and Bukit Kayu Hitam. Maybe some of us underestimate the products from Thailand. But please do trust me that some of the products were built to last. 

Wang Klian is just like a valley where you could see all the wooden stalls were built for their Thailand citizens to do business. 

As for me, I'm in there during the Hari Raya just to buy some t-shirts and some longans. My wife? hrmmmm.. she bought all those kitchen stuffs....kuali and bla..bla...bla...

Syawal 2013 part 3: MUZIKARAYA 2013

Setiap kali raya, inilah antara 'event' yang wajib aku turut serta dimana kesemua para pemuzik yang dibesarkan di Taiping akan turun turut serta. Dalam ertikata lain, masing-masing turun tunjuk skill la... 

Alhamdulillah, tahun ni tak salah aku dah 3 tahun berturut-turut kita orang organise 'event' ni.  

Most of them are my long time friends. Dan ada gak yang bermain dengan kombo RTM turut join sekali. Dan kali ni berbeza sikit daripada tahun-tahun sebelumnya dimana kali ni ada pemain keyboard yang asalnya junior aku masa zaman sekolah St.George dulu. Di tambah plak drummer "BRAIN DEAD' pun join sekaki. Sebut BRAIN DEAD ni...dia punya double pedal jangan cakap la..memang padu..memang mantap...memang makanan dia. 

Listing lagu-lagu memang rojak; daripada lagu yang biasa dimainkan di Pub hinggalah lagu Heavy Metal...memang semuanya dimainkan. Memang takde perancangan punya untuk lagu...main pakai belasah. Tapi memandangkan semuanya pro-pro belaka... semuanya menjadik.

InsyaAllah...sekiranya umur panjang dan sihat tubuh badan, kita ketemu lagi untuk MUZIKARAYA 2014.

Syawal 2013 part 2: Smoke 'em up...

As mentioned earlier, personally for me; celebrating Syawal is all about making the kids happy. And it seems like a tradition in this country to light up some oil lamp and letting the kids to play around with fire crackers.  These things reminded me during my childhood years.  Trust me, the kids love it. 

Syawal 2013 part 1: Baju Melayu Aaron Aziz!!!!!!!!!

You could see the advertisement everywhere!!! It's the latest trend for Syawal celebration 2013. Aku siap kutuk lagi pada peringkat awalnya. Lastly, terjebak gak. Terbang gak la duit aku RM285.00 untuk sepasang. Dalam hati aku, raya setahun sekali apalah salahnya....atau sebab salesgirl nyer yang comei tu?... Siap rekomen kaler merah maroon lagi untuk aku. Katanya kulit aku sesuai dengan kaler tu. Cair aku di bulan puasa ni gara2 salesgirl tu.

I heard that Jakel sold out more than 40,000 sets of the Aaron Aziz's baju melayu. Wowww!!!!
