Event: Bazaar Ramadan kedua di Dubai on 12th September.
Modal: Ingredients paid for by urs truly, hard work at the kitchen with lots of motherly love by LiL, enthusiastic help from Luqman, Haziq, Amirul and Angah!
Menu: Asam pedas, kuih muih.
Profit Benefits : Lots of fun and joy being part of a small community of Malaysians preparing foods for Malaysians - home away from home!
Time together with childen doing something we don't normally do - Buat Business!!
For a brief moments my childen appreciated how difficult it is to earn money!
Last night, post the Bazaar Ramadan and while driving to a supermarket, I asked my children what they thought of the day's venture?
Their replies....

Luqman, "It was fun! I want to do it again....but, not during hot day like today!"

Amirul, "Quite embarassing when there was no customers....but was very happy when almost everything was sold in the end."

Haziq, "Too much hard work!! I prefer to be a photographer!"

Angah, "Penat tapi seronok!!"

They did well, not only at the stall but also at home by helping with the preparation.

Our deal was that they got to keep the profits....as it turned out, I hope they will keep the exprience and the joy of it all. There were not much financial gain at all...hehehe!

But at the supermarket last night, I did reward them with Baskin Robin ice-cream!

The second Bazaar was as Meriah as the first one. There were definitely more stalls and also more foods! Malaysians did not just visited the Bazaar for foods but also for meeting and catching up with friends. Many were seen mixing and socializing long after the buying were done. As one of the organizers, it was satisfying to see happiness on peoples' faces.
please also read the story told by Imeirda, here.
Pictures tell more accurate stories than words.....

  1. Pakpayne,
    The exposure is very good for your children. I call this process 'menebal muka'. Many of today's children 'malu' to do something in public because they were never exposed to it when small. Did you notice our chinese friends asking their children to mind the shop when they have the free time? This is a good excercise. In later life they will thank you for that.
