This jolly season : eid adha,xmas,new year.looking forward to this coming thursday,one of the greatest of all day,mother of all eid-eid adha,10 zulhijjah 1428H.that day we’ll slaughter a buffalo for an orphanage in tanah hitam,chemor…a short trip north from our home.nasik impit,groundnut mixed with cashew nut gravy,lodeh n rendang – a must mouth watering menu,akin to lemon snowbar n pudding for xmas must be there come snow or flood no matter what cuz as Javanese family,yeap prefer to be a java than a Siamese fmly.my other haf readily went to tesco extra,where else, in anticipation of a crowdless,hassle free shopping around 5pm today.haha she cant even find a parking space upon entering tesco extra vast n well covered parking bays,as she wud normally do =drive n park n go shopping.so back home she went n waited n waited for my humble arrival,n waited she did…till she hd to rang me up asking for my where about,since the kancil’s with me.after a good maghrib prayer,went to tesco,yet again.this time ladyluck’s on our side.managed to find a place to park the road worthy kancil and off we went.grabbed the much needed stainless steel trolly zipped thru the auto gated hoarding at a frantic pace…need to make sure beat every other shopper at the cashier’s counter . first stop = nasik impit adabi,the economical 30 small packets,2 of those pls  tesco ground nuts,2 1 kilo pack..half a kilo cashews,a few packs of puchuk and suhoon,a tin of carnation milk,5 kgs fine granulated sugar…next the fresh vegy section : French beans,carrot,red chillis,cauliflower,capcicum or bell peppers-she bought the green only capcicum cuz its cheaper hehe,cabbage,tempe (she bought 10 packs of tempe),turnip,kim cham.a brief visit to meaty section – oz tripe n saudi’s mince meat,she chucked 2 bars into the shopping cart,then headed off to the condense coconut milk section,she took 3 boxes of those followed to the pasta aisle n selected san remo fettucini at rm3.39 per pack she grabbed 2 of those n off we went to hv a bottle of life tomato sauce,a can of yeos tomato puree and alishan button mushroom,a can is enuff…next a stop at the bakery sect yielded 3 gardenia loafs,the jumbo option of coz 3 packs of potato bun and 2 plain nan bread,produce of home bakery.after that a visit to seafood dept,she frantically filled up the plastic beg with prawn rm9.79 per kilo,followed by a stop at siakap icebox,she picked 6 siakaps n headed straight to the weighing counter.as she merrily picked/choosed n selected the said items,my eyes wander aimlessly around the store saw small kids,big kids n not so big/small kids.few were pushing or errr rather the correct way = pull the shopping cart,many others were happy enuff just to sit in the cart itself hehe.at once,a striking idea popped up.recalling my handson xperience during xmas raiding the Lakewood mall for a pair of speakers at circuit city’s kiosk= using the automated shopping cart,yeap similar to those golfers buggy but smaller in width n length.if only tesco wud offer a local order.licking my lips in zest for the prospect of yet another brain damaging proposal…think me must flipped thru cobwebs of innovative idea for this new idea…n of course the battery powered cart must bear the testament of my labour…no glassfiber resin body parts pls,eco friendly speaks volume now a days.a nudge from shah got my attention at task on hand…pushing the three quarter laden shopping trolly to the personal hygene sect.she told me to start looking for our boys’ n gal’s personnel care,namely new tooth brushes,tooth pastes,soaps,hair cream,cotton bud,roll on deo sticks (ehhh…) n shampoo cuz they’ll be away to their respective hostels in 2 weeks time.had a hard time finding the hair cream coz they (tesco xtra) had moved the item towards the end of the aisle.haha lucky as always,got the attention of a bangla stocker n he lead me towards the said item.need 3 of those hair cream for my boys.selected the This jolly
