Last week, while I was shopping for some household needs, I received a text message from Wani. She was on her way to Ipoh to get her blood test done and she wanted to leave some raya cookies with me.
No, Wani doesn't make the cookies herself. She helps out at a friend's place and gets RM10 each day she helps with the baking. If she can help sell the cookies, she can get some extra cash. And so she sought my favour to help sell the cookies. Which was why she wanted to leave the cookies with me.
I told her to call me once she got to the hospital. I found it rather odd though when she mentioned she'd be doing her blood test at the Klinik Kesihatan Greentown instead of at the specialist clinic at the GH.
I found out later that she had missed her hospital appointments for quite some time and as such her records are no longer at the ID clinic. SN was the one who told Wani to go to the klinik kesihatan, and tell the people there that she wanted to do HIV testing.
You see, since her records are no longer at the ID clinic, in order to arrange for another appointment, she'd need to go back to square one. Get tested at a klinik kesihatan, and when the results come out positive, she'd get a letter referring her to the ID specialist clinic.
I asked Wani why she had not been going for her hospital appointments. She just smiled.
Earlier on, SN called me to ask whatever happened to Shila. She missed her last appointment and didn't even go for her blood test. I later found out that Shila decided not to go to the hospital for fear of H1N1. Her buddy had then advised her to fix another appointment and wear a mask when she goes to the hospital. As of last week, SN told me Shila hadn't even called her. SN got so fed-up and just said, "Suka hati dia lah! Nanti kalau sakit jangan cari saya."
Sigh... I don't know how else to stress to these people the importance of compliance. They seem to think it's okay to miss their appointments... it's okay to miss their ARV once in a while. Gee, I wonder if I can strangle them to get the message through?
Anyway, back to the raya cookies...
Wani brought 4 types of cookies - tarts, semprit, almond london and shortbread cookies.
Frankly, sales is not my expertise, so seeking my help to sell the cookies is not really a good idea. But I agreed to help her out anyway.
I have been planning to buy some raya cookies to be distributed to the poor families before raya. So, instead of helping to sell, I just ordered some cookies from Wani. That way, Wani can get some extra income and I get to distribute some raya cookies to the poor families! Kill 2 birds with one stone, huh?
Anyone wants to try some tarts and semprit? Here, have some...

Tak bak tau, kta belum buka uasa lagi. Lagi lapan jam!The jam tarts look nice. Hmmm, am getting out of here!
i mean tak baik! teruknya my typing!
Kak Teh,
Takkan baru tengok jam tarts pun dah tersilap type kot? :)
p/s
Jam tarts tu memang sedap...
You ni baik macam I lah..ahhemm..I pun kalau orang suruh jual cookies I end up buying them.Then I standby the cookies kat rumah..adikbradik or sdara or close friends datang, they go home with unopened cookies!Pahala!
Mamasita,
I taklah sebaik you... I beli cookies tu pasal I memang dah plan nak beli, if not from Wani, then from other sellers. Itu pun pasal nak bagi the poor families.
Untuk kuih raya kat rumah, I tak buat and I tak beli... I tunggu aje adik-beradik balik... berderet kuih raya depa bawak. The only cooking I do for raya is usually just the rendang to be eaten with the lemang. (lemang pun order aje - tak kuasa I nak mengadap api lama-lama!)
weep!
Mekyam,
Siaannnn dia...
Nanti raya I buat open house kat blog ni... hidang macam-macam (gambar) food ok? ;)
Aunty Pi,

Cat-in-Sydney,

Komen Pak Malim kucing ray yg alim.
Saya nak mintak skit, kuih, kata Pak Malim sambil bermain buih.
Mekyam,
Eh, belum lagi tenyeh dengan asam limau... baru plan je. Asam limau tu kena tunggu my raya posting... hehehe...
Cat-in-Sydney,
Fuh, Angelina pun ada baju raya ke? Nanti suruh mama ambil gambar Angelina pakai baju kurung ok? ;)
Totally mengancam!
Bila buat open house nanti, sila tunjukkan baju raya anda ya :)
Pak Malim,
Nak kuih, ambillah yang dalam gambar tu, kata Pi Bani sambil memakai sepatu.
Eh, Pak Malim ni posa tak? tanya Pi Bani sambil mengangkat kotak.
Naz,
Baju raya tak mengancam... tak menggoda rakyat Malaysia yang berada di luar negara... time open house kena lah hidang (gambar) food, food, food...
