Eid Mubarak - 2012

Yesterday (18th August) after breaking fast, everyone were looking for the sight of the new crescent of the month of Shawwal, technology helped us via SMS, emails, Facebook, Twitter, and calls; everybody were inquiring about the new crescent, the crescent has to be sighted with your bare eyes. it makes us more curious... around 8:45 pm I received a SMS by the All Ceylon Jammiyathul Ulama (the official body for crescent sighting) that the new moon for Shawwal has been sighted. my phone started pouring with wishes via SMS and calls saying EID MUBARAK :-)

It's a special day, after one month of fasting, we celebrate our festival, it gives us more joy and happiness. it's our sacrifice of body and soul to obey Allah's commandments. truly it's a gift of Allah for his servants. it's a day where the boss gives the wages for his servants. May Allah bless you with Joy of life and Happiness in your heart. PEACE BE UPON YOU :-)

Important information - L.P.G. (Liquefied petroleum gas) cylinders

Please communicate this information to your family and friends.

Have U ever heard about LPG (Liquefied petroleum gas) cylinder's expiry date....??

Do you know that there is an expiry date (physical life) for LPG cylinders? Expired Cylinders are not safe for use and may cause accidents. In this regard, please be cautious at the time of accepting any LPG cylinder from the vendor.

Here is how we can check the expiry of LPG cylinders:
On one of three side stems of the cylinder, the expiry date is coded alpha numerically as follows A or B or C or D and some two digit number following this e.g. D06.

The alphabets stand for quarters -
1. A for March (First Qtr),
2. B for June (Second Qtr),
3. C for Sept (Third Qtr),
4. D for December (Fourth Qtr).

The digits stand for the year till it is valid. Hence D06 would mean December qtr of 2006.
Please Return Back the Cylinder that you get with a Expiry Date, they are prone to Leak and other Hazardous accidents ...

Expiry Date: December of 2006

 The second example with D13 allows the cylinder to be in use until Dec 2013 .

Expiry Date: December of 2013

Kindly pass this to every one,
and create awareness among the public

My Friend with a Big Body and with a Big Heart

Maalik, our new graphic designer, he is a rugger ride, 110 Kg in weight and 6 foot tall, I call him 0.1 tone container, LOL... and he is a new colleague and a friend of mine.

There was an exhibition HALAL EXPO was scheduled to start on 19th feb, and 20th feb at Galadari, I was with my friend Maalik at canteen  having our lunch at office, I said to Maalik "Shall we go to this Exhibition on Sunday?" he said "Why not, we both can go together and I will pick you up on my way" I said to him " Insha'alllah, All right, DONE!"

Next day morning I bought the Sunday newspapers and did some Internet browsing... the day was boring... I remembered Maalik who planned with me to go to Halal Expo exhibition, but I didn't  get a call from him...I thought of putting him a reminder but my nephew Isa came while I was about to call...I forgot to call Maalik as I started playing with him...

Time passed and suddenly around 3 O'clock I got a call from one my friends, Riza, He asked "I'm on my way to exhibition, are you coming?" I thought for a while... I got nothing to do today, so I said "ok, I'm coming"

So we reached there around 4:30 pm, as we started roaming around... there was a surprise waiting for me, in one of the stalls I saw Maalik standing, so I went to him and asked him, "Hey ... You didn't pick me up...grrr.." as I said this he was shocked an standing like a rock...so I left him and went to other stalls to have a look at the other products on the display...

Next day, Monday I went for work, I got this email via facebook from Maalik, but I knew he was in the office and I was wondering why is he sending an email while he is next to me... believe me, until I read the first 75% of his email, I didn't understand why is he apologizing and for what? Because, I had no bad feelings about Maalik for not picking me to the exhibition yesterday, I forgot at that end and I didn't take anything serious into my mind... So I realized, my big friend has really felt bad about what had happened yesterday.... wow.. mmm... so i thought of having small game or a play with him... ;-) here is a screen shot of what happened in the FB mail.... ;-)

Before, I sent the last mail, I sent one of my colleagues to check on Maalik, I got the news, Maalik seems to be very upset, so quickly I made a call and said to him... "take it easy friend, I was just playing with you" even after he heard me, he kept apologizing for more than half an hour repeating the same thing in the mail ... LOL, He is a Good Friend :-)
