Hello all. How's your puasa so far? I hope all is well and you are well too.

Friends have been sharing their favorite places to break the fast on their socmed but me being the cheapskate, I will always vet through for the affordable one.

Lo and behold.
There is one that is very near to my place and is called Lake Cempaka Villa. 
Yes, dear friends @ Bangi. It is located at the same Lake Cempaka where we run and do our zumba on the weekend.

We, Bangians (is that we call those resides in Bangi perhaps) know that this amazing place does offer wedding package but not all know that it offers fast-breaking package too.

With its delicious theme of Bufet Ramadan Masakan Melayu Asli & BBQ, the price are RM58 nett for adults and RM33 nett for kids, which is very affordable.

As to the menu, befitting its theme, there is a wide choice of delicious Malay traditional dishes and also grilled lamb too. The foods are displayed at stalls, inside and outside of the villa so make sure you cover all grounds while here.

• Ayam Masak Lemak Cili Api

• Asam Pedas

• Laksa Johor

• Mee Goreng

• Kambing panggang

• Sup Daging Kambing

• Teluk Itik Masak Lemak Mangga Muda

• Rendang Kacang Panjang Hati Ayam

There are also frying section for noodles and cucur ikan bilis. I went straight here to get those hot and yummy cucur and fried mee hoon.

The choice of desserts is also varied. There's Ais Batu Campur and fruit cocktails await and the choice of traditional kuih are wide too. 

As per BBQ stalls, there's a lot of grilling and BBQing going on at the front of the villa so be sure that you visit the stalls here too, to get the meats and sauces.

For Muslims, there are mosques nearby and around Lake Cempaka Villa. And there's also a surau inside of Lake Cempaka Villa for its patrons too. That makes the whole arrangement much the sweeter, right.

To book a table or tables for your fast-breaking party, here's the number.

I have heard about Butik Haqqi a few times over the years but have not had the chance to visit there. That was until last weekend, as I had to look for telekung as a gift for my best friend's mum.

I visited the ones in Shah Alam and here is the address for the boutique. There are other branches such as in Bangi Sentral, TTDI and Terengganu. For the locations of other boutiques, just visit here [Butik Haqqi]. The boutique is located just beside Jakel Shah Alam.

Butik Haqqi No 13 & 15 Jalan Plumbum S7/S Seksyen 7 40000 Shah Alam, Selangor

So what do they have in store? Literally, they have everything that everyone needs to perform haj and umrah, both for men and women. And if you browse through their website [Butik Haqqi], you will find that they also have cosmetics and healthcare products too. 

Items on sale on Haqqi's website

As I entered the boutique, I saw racks and racks of beautiful clothes for men and women on sale. And further in, I saw more items for those that will be attending Haj and Umrah such as ihram, telekung, T-shirt, jubah, slippers, Haj notes, Haj pouches, socks, hand sock and  tasbih. And the choices are endless too!

When I said the choice is endless, take the varieties of the telekung for instance.
There are Mukarramah, Aisya, Adawiyah, Az Zahrah and Mini. And for each variant, there are varieties of colours and seams too.
There are other brands too here such as IzzueExclusive, Zareeth Zehra, RTW by Nur Sajat, Seeni, Medisole, El-Hajj, Zulhijjah, Nosk, Al-Amein and An-Najwa. So, with more brands in-house, one will be able to choose from wider varieties too.

My eyes were immediately fixated towards the menswear ie jubah. The were lots and lots of jubah to choose from, with a variety of designs and colours available for my choosing.

Should you looking for a particular item or a brand, the ever smiling and ever helpful assistance are available to assist you in the search.
As I mentioned in the title, the boutique is a one-stop centre for Haj and Umrah necessities ie one doesn't have to go far to get the whole necessities. Ain't that convenient?

But if the locations are too far for you, just head on to the website and choose what you need and the boutique will have them delivered to your doorstep, via the post office.

Here are the links to the Haqqi's social media. Make sure you are subscribed to them so that you'll know the updates on the items.

It is not too much for me to say that Malaysians love to visit Jakel especially when it is festive season.

As per the year before, I visited Jakel (Shah Alam) again last weekend just to diversify my options. 
Why Jakel? The choices are vast, for everyone, and if you are lucky, at a very steep price! And was I lucky because almost all the Jakel Ambassadors were there when I visited and my oh my, did they had a huge sale that day! There were Awal Ashaari, Scha Al Yahya and Lara Alana, Hanis Zalikha, Hairul Azreen and Yusuf Iskandar, Nabil Ahmad, Harith Iskander and Nabil Ahmad. Not forgetting the children's idol, Upin and Ipin were there too. 
So, whenever the ambassadors are there, Jakel just love to have 'Happy Hour' where they sell every collection at a surprisingly pleasant low price. And here is some of the new and pleasant upgrades that have been introduced to this year's collection.

Pilihanraya Umum Ke-14 (PRU14) sudah berakhir dengan kemenangan kepada kerajaan baru Pakatan Harapan. Seperti sedia maklum, Pakatan Harapan asalnya dari gabungan Pakatan Rakyat yang turut dianggotai oleh PAS, kemudian PAS mengambil keputusan untuk tinggalkan Pakatan dan bergerak atas nama Gagasan Sejahtera yang mesra Barisan Nasional. Semenjak dari itu, nama Pakatan Rakyat bertukar menjadi Pakatan Harapan. 
Seorang aktivis politik, Otai Reformasi telah tampil membuat pendedahan di mana beliau mendakwa ada individu yang betul-betul memainkan peranan penting sehingga kerajaan Barisan Nasional berjaya dijatuhkan, Siapakah wira yang tidak didendangkan yang dimaksudkan beliau itu? Jom kita ikuti tulisan beliau seperti di bawah.

Tidak dinafikan, ramai tokoh yang berpengaruh dan berjasa dalam menyedarkan rakyat untuk berani mengubah kerajaan, tetapi itu bukanlah menjadi faktor utama atau akar umbi kepada runtuhnya sokongan rakyat kepada Barisan Nasional. 

Bukan satu tugas yang mudah mahu membuka mata rakyat Malaysia untuk berani bersuara, kerana rakyat yang akan lebih terkesan dan merana hidupnya jika didakwa apabila menentang kerajaan berbanding dengan pemimpin yang berpengaruh. Disebabkan itu, apabila pemimpin-pemimpin pembangkang ditangkap, diambil tindakan, mahupun didakwa kerana protes dengan kerajaan sedia ada, rakyat Malaysia majoriti secara jujurnya masih belum membuka mata. 

Rentetan tindakan Tun Mahathir yang keluar dari UMNO pada 29 Feb 2016 menyaksikan ramai pemimpin tertinggi parti berkenaan turut dipecat kerana dilihat menjadi orang belakang atau orang kuat kepada Tun M.
Jangan lupa bahawa pada 6 Ogos 2015, seorang wanita juga telah didakwa dan dituduh menyebar berita palsu.
Apa ‘istimewanya’ wanita yang bergelar rakyat biasa ini hingga boleh didakwa sebegitu? 
Pada asalnya, wanita tersebut sangat terkenal sebagai pemain utama dalam perang siber UMNO Barisan Nasional. Dia yang sangat berpengaruh di dalam Barisan Nasional dan menjadi ikon pakar perang saraf UMNO menjadi aset paling penting yang dimiliki parti itu untuk melawan pembangkang.

Tetapi, wanita itu telah tampil membuat satu tindakan mengejut yang lantas mengubah kehidupannya dengan tidak mempersetujui TPPA (Perjanjian Trans Pacifik) yang sangat kontrovesi pada ketika itu. 

Syarul Ema Rena atau terkenal dengan nama 'Ratu Naga' seorang wanita yang menjadi inspirasi rakyat Malaysia untuk berani bangkit bersuara melawan Barisan Nasional. 

Berikut merupakan rentetan peristiwa yang terjadi kepada Ratu Naga. 

6 Ogos 2015 - Mengeluarkan kenyataan menghina DS Najib Razak kerana TPPA 
18 Januari 2016 - Diserbu berbelas-belas pegawai polis di kesdiaman rumahnya selepas TPPA ditanda tangani 
26 Febuari 2016 - Didakwa namun mengaku tidak bersalah atas tindakannya 
16 April 2016 - Menjadi jentera utama untuk deklarasi rakyat  
26 Mei 2016 - Chegubard menyerang Deklarasi Rakyat dengan memfitnah Ratu Naga membeli data 
27 Mei 2016 - Ratu Naga menjawab fitnah Chegubard dengan bersumpah 
10 Jun 2016 - Ratu Naga menyerbu sidang media Chegubard yang memfitnah namanya dan deklarasi rakyat 
5 Ogos2016 - Diserbu pegawai polis dalam keadaan sarat mengandung 
21 September 2016 - Diserbu pegawai polis pada tengah malam ketika sedang berpantang 
10 Oktober 2016 - Ratu Naga menyertai Parti Keadilan Rakyat untuk menebus salah dan menjadi pengimbang Anwar dan Mahathir 
12 Oktober 2016 - Ratu Naga memohon maaf di depan Istana Kehakiman sambil disaksikan beribu penyokong Anwar Ibrahim sewaktu menunggu keputusan perbicaraan Anwar Ibrahim 
12 Disember 2016 - Ratu Naga diserang 30 orang Jamal Yunos kerana menghantar bantuan air 
12 Jun 2017 - Ratu Naga membawa 500 orang UMNO masuk PKR 
3 Febuari 2018 - Ratu Naga serah diri untuk di soal siasat 

Wanita kental ini banyak menghabiskan masa membahayakan diri untuk membuka mata rakyat sejak 2015. Pelbagai usaha beliau turut mengundang kontroversi semasa dan walaupun dirintangi pelbagai halangan, beliau tidak pernah patah semangatnya dalam menyuarakan hak rakyat. 

Ramai yang merasakan merekalah yang menjadi punca kenapa rakyat membuka mata. Tidak dinafikan usaha itu semua tetapi perlu dikenang akan jasa wanita ini juga.
