Spare a thought for Tony F, Chief Executive of 'Air Asia'
Arriving in a hotel in KL Sentral he went to the bar and asked for a pint of draught Guinness. The barman nodded and said, "That will be one Ringgit please, Uncle Tony."
Somewhat taken aback, Uncle Tony replied, "That's very cheap," and handed over his money.
"Well, we try to stay ahead of the competition", said the barman. "And we are serving free pints every Wednesday evening from 6 until 8. We have the cheapest draught in Asia"
"That is remarkable value" Uncle Tony comments
"I see you don't seem to have a glass, so you'll probably need one of ours. That will be 3 Ringgit please."
Uncle Tony scowled, but paid up. He took his drink and walked towards a seat.
"Ah, you want to sit down?" said the barman. "That'll be an extra 2 Ringgit. You could have pre-book the seat, and it would have only cost you a Ringgit"
"I think you may to be too big for the seat sir, can I ask you to sit in this frame please"
Uncle Tony attempts to sit down but the frame is too small and when he can't squeeze in he complains "Nobody would fit in that little frame".
"I'm afraid if you can't fit in the frame you'll have to pay an extra surcharge of RM 4 for your seat sir"
Tony swore to himself, but paid up. "I see that you have brought your laptop with you" added the barman. "And since that wasn't pre-booked either, that will be another 3 Ringgit"
Uncle Tony was so annoyed that he walked back to the bar, slammed his drink on the counter, and yelled, "This is ridiculous, I want to speak to the manager".
"Ah, I see you want to use the counter," says the barman, "that will be 2 Ringgit please."
Uncle's face was red with rage.
"Do you know who I am?"
"Of course I do Mr Fernandes"
"I've had enough, What sort of Hotel is this? I come in for a quiet drink and you treat me like this. I insist on speaking to a manager!"
"Here is his Email address, or if you wish, you can contact him between 9 and 9.10 every morning, Monday to Tuesday at this free phone number. Calls are free, until they are answered, then there is a talking charge of only 10 sen per second provided you use Tune Talk using other mobile carriers would incur our normal charges of 30 Sen per second."
"I will never use this bar again"
"OK Uncle , but remember, we are the only bar in Asia selling pints for one Ringgit... so that Now everyone can drink"

Usrah 1 : Korban
I think it would be useful if I write whatever I have learnt just now here as it can be shared with the readers too. Am I right?
We started our study circle with Quran recitation, surah Al-Kahfi verse 30-45. We discussed about the meaning of our favourite verses and one of them was quite excited on sharing her thought about verse 45.
The circle was then furthered by a topic of things we encourage to do in Zulhijjah.
Qurban fadilat. A few of the encouraged things to do are as follows:
1. Fasting
2. Takbir and Zikir
3. Performing hajj and u'mrah
4. Adding up good deeds
5. Slaughtering animals in the name of Allah (Qurban)
6. Repenting
Last thing in tentative, DINNER! ;) Everyone especially my housemates were looking forward to this final slot as our tummies were 'singing' badly before. LOL. And the menu was 'nasi tomato' a.k.a tomato rice. Here is the recipe of nasi tomato
We started our study circle with Quran recitation, surah Al-Kahfi verse 30-45. We discussed about the meaning of our favourite verses and one of them was quite excited on sharing her thought about verse 45.
And set forth to them parable of the life of this world: like water which We send down from the cloud so the herbage of the earth becomes tangled on account of it, then it becomes dry broken into pieces which the winds scatter; and Allah is the holder of power over all thingsShe also linked it to a song entitled 'Pohon Hijau' sang by Brothers. Life is figured as a green tree. The green tree has its life cycle which actually configure our life cycle. When the tree is green and being showered with rain, it pictures the life of being showered with happiness and prosperity. After quite a time, the leaves fall onto the ground and being carried away by the wind which shows life at golden age.
