One bulb , one twenty

Needed some garlic yesterday .

Walked into the local hypermart and when I looked at the price for a small bag , my eyes almost popped out .

Cave cometh ?

When I went to pick up my shoe from the cobbler , he suddenly noticed my ring .

" Ini sembahyang kat gua ? "

he asked me rather as a matter of fact . 

Loosely translated , he asked me if this stone was worshipped inside a cave before I purchased it . Yes really . He really asked me that . I'm not kidding but I really do not understand what he meant by that statement either .

Have read somewhere about some Malay traders who sell semi precious gemtones procured out of river beds . Some local shamans and witchdoctors known as bomohs , will even recite incantations over the stones first .

However , this is the first time in my life , I have heard of anyone chanting over a stone inside a cave .

By that , he must be insinuating that I probably have some supernatural  inhabitant , residing inside it !

How scary !!!

Drop that defence shield

Update : 

Am sticking to my guns and firing the first shot back . Have just contacted the customer careline to file in a complaint . The manager will be alerted on the matter . Hopefully this harassment stops . If it doesn't I will start taking their pictures and post it up here .

Was at the hypermart just now . Wanted to get some sardines and white bread to make sardine sandwiches .

Something I picked up in my teens after asking the enthusiastic Celeste for tips on how to make it like the one she brought to pot luck .
