It's about the value

I still remember 17 years ago, I was attending sekolah agama rakyat at that time. My friend and I used to buy Kuih sago from a house outside the school compound since no canteen was built during that time.

This Kuih sago was the cheapest option for lunch during that time; 10 cent per piece.The glimpse of the road i took to the shop is still clear in my mind. Memories no one can ever bargain on. That road had witness our battle of kuih sago.

The battle started during recess time. Just as soon as the bell rang, we immediately ran to the shop for kuih sago. The road that we had to take wasn't a tarred road.During that time, tarred road is not really Famous hehe.

Nonetheless, We didnt even feel scared or afraid to run when the road get wet and slippery during rainy season.Anyway we a bunch of kids who were pretty happy to run in the rain. Although sometimes we cried LOUDLY when our knees bleeds after falling

The next year, the school built a stall canteen. This new stall was pretty impressive. lotsa delicious foods that surely fill hungry kids like us.This time There was no kuih sago anymore but there were mee curry, nasi lemak,and Karipap and other special daily menus. For me, I chose the easiest and the cheapest money can buy; The Karipap. Still the karipap was the same price as kuih sago; 10 cent for one curry puff.

About 2 years later, I moved to seremban, a new canteen awaited me there. A modern,slightly better canteen that i can even imagine. This time my favourite brunch was the big cucur udang. It had some weird shape that i like and somehow the sauce was meant to be put onto the shape as it acted like a semi-sphere.And also it was because it was the cheapest my money can buy. A 30 cent cucur + 20 cent cordial water was marvelous during those days.

A year after, My friend treated me a nasi lemak. That was the first time i ever taste nasi lemak at that canteen and I really liked it. So my aim changed for a crave of nasi lemak since then. But since it was not 'my money can buy', i only eat it alternately; one day No lunch and the next day nasi lemak, and this continued till my pocket money was increased to 1 ringgit as motivation for coming upsr examCuz i was a lazy bump and mind, I need this motivation, however my upsr result wasnt good but wast too bad

That was how one thing in my life change and now that particular thing is getting increase in its value and nowhere i can afford to eat 10 cent Kuih sago or even the 60 cent nasi lemak anymore.

Yesterday, I had found the answer for question that has been haunted me for the past 4 years. Yes, a question that I found the answer in the quran but i still dont get it until yesterday

In process......
