Charity 9.

With 2 days of Hari Raya holidays on Wednesday and Thursday, it is almost a long stretch of holiday if you are off on Friday.

So what have you been doing? As for me, I was and am helping in one of the charity vegetarian stalls opposite Green Lane Heights for the Nine God (九皇爷) festival.

Charity Vegetarian stall.

This festival is one of the heavily celebrated festival celebration by Penangites. It’s the time where many will take vegetarian for 1/3/7/9/30/40/49 whole days prior to the 9th of the 9th lunar month. People believe that by doing so will gather enough good kharma for themself, and also to pay respect to this Nine God.

This charity stall opened since Sunday, and I’ve started to help them starting from Monday. I said it’s a charity stall because we do not sell food. You can get all kinds of vegetarian food ranging from Laksa, Curry Mee, Fried Rice, to Economy rice, tomyam noodles, to desserts like red bean soup, barley, and even glutinous rice from us. In return, you may or may not donate an amount of money at your own preference.

See, it’s charity I told you.

Yeah she’s the charity head aka ONLY COOK for the whole day! Salute!

But one thing I dislike is that there’s people misused this charity purpose. There’s this uncle that took 3 packets of Curry mee, and some dishes from the economy rice. Then he asked us how much, we told him it’s charity and it’s up to him to pay.

Two among the bunch of helpers. All are super nice people, like me. XD

For a good/average looking man like him, I assume that he’s gonna put in at least some RM3-5 in the box, but instead, he digged out some coins from his pocket, and donated two 50cents coin inside.

What the hell. Just as I wanna start cursing, I think I better stop cursing else later I also kena bad kharma. Oops did I mention “also”? LOL!

You are most welcomed.

Anyway, if you are on vegetarian, I really hope you could drop by to support us. Do let me know when you are coming so that I can entertain you specially. XD
