We Gather Because of Tzu Chi Box.......慈濟基金會

Everything started with just a simple Tzu Chi Vegi Lunch Box...................... RM4 each.
慈悲菩萨善心遍公司
济济一堂苦心编心思
饭菜饭粒用心作夀司
盒装斋菜欢心呈新食
We know Vegi is good for health. This is the reason we all trying to order Vegi Lunch Box each Tuesday from Tzu Chi.

Most of us may know a little bid how Tzu Chi Foundation is working. They are working for society welfare regardless races/ country/ skin colors ......... I believe we do read some news from paper which stated Tzu Chi volunteer workers will be the FIRST group people arriving the disasters area (earthquake/tsunami/....) when help needed.

The Tzu Chi Foundation 慈濟基金會, whose name means "compassion and relief," is an international humanitarian organization and the largest NGO in the Chinese-speaking world.

The organization was founded by Dharma Master Cheng Yen, a Buddhist nun, on May 14, 1966 in Hualien, Taiwan. She was inspired by her master and mentor, the late Venerable Master Yin Shun (印順導師, Yin Shun Dao Shi), a significant proponent of Humanistic Buddhism, who exhorted her to: "work for Buddhism and for all sentient beings."

In mountainous Hualien, Master Cheng Yen was moved to act by the poverty and lack of services and decided to set up a charity organization, which started out as a group of thirty housewives who saved a small amount of money each day to care for needy families. From these humble beginnings, the group has grown to become a major civil society actor, with approximately 10 million members, and chapters in 47 countries. The group's core activities span Charity, Medicine, Education and Humanistic Culture, and it provides aid to all people regardless of race, religion or nationality. With particularly deep roots in Asia, Tzu Chi is considered one of the most effective aid agencies in the region.

Today, few of us who are the Lunch Box Coordinator in companies trying to meeting up with all the Tzu Chi Volunteers who cook for us. In fact - we all planning to buy those Tzu Chi Obasan with a simple lunch...but end up with their return of a GREAT LUNCH. They prepare us a GREAT and SUPERB vegi lunch!!! We are so touching with their given love.
FYI - All the revenue will 100% contributed for local welfare purpose. This group of Tzu Chi Obasan will cook for us, deliver to us and even pay the lunch box raw materials themselves. End of the day - they do not gain any single cents here. ..........Not I should say they are gaining "Love" from Society .... "Respect" from People......"Compassion" from God.

Raja Uda Night Market - CNY

Chinese New Year, Lunar New Year, or Spring Festival is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. It is often inaccurately called "Lunar New Year", because—as part of the lunisolar Chinese calendar—the date is partially determined based on lunar phase. The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first month (Chinese: 正月; pinyin: zhēng yuè) in the Chinese calendar and ends with Lantern Festival which is on the 15th day.

What can you imagine anything related to Malaysia Chinese New Year?
1 Chinese Mandarin Oranges?
2 Hamper?
3 Pasar Malam (Night Market)?

The Mandarin orange, also known as the mandarin or mandarine (both lower-case), is a small citrus tree (Citrus reticulata) with fruit resembling other oranges. The fruit is oblate rather than spherical. Mandarin oranges are usually eaten plain or in fruit salads. Specifically reddish-orange mandarin cultivars can be marketed as tangerines, but this is not a botanical classification.
The tree is more drought-tolerant than the fruit. The mandarin is tender, and is damaged easily by cold. It can be grown in tropical and subtropical areas.

A hamper is a primarily British term for a wicker basket, usually large, that is used for the transport of items, often food.

In CNY - Hamper is good stuff for sign of love, care and relationship.

Night Market in RAJA UDA...........................
Pasar malam is an Malay and Indonesian word that literally means night market, "pasar" being related to "bazaar" in Persian. A pasar malam is a street market in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia that opens in the evening, usually in residential neighbourhoods.

It brings together a collection of stalls that usually sell goods such as fruits, vegetables, snacks, toys, clothes, shoes, alarm clocks, and ornaments at cheap or at least reasonable prices. Pirated DVDs, CDs and computer software are often sold at a pasar malam. A pasar malam often takes place only one to a few days of the week, as the traders rotate around different neighbourhoods on different days of the week. Haggling over prices is a common practice at such markets.
