Date: 27th July 2016
I am wearing a beautiful dress that I bought in Karachi for today's Raya gathering at our associate company. While being complimented, it made me realized of how much I miss the following places that I often visited while reside there...

| Agha's Supermarket |
The best groceries store "Agha's" is situated at Shop No. 1, Uzma Court, DC-3, Block 8, Clifton Karachi. This is the first groceries store that Chow and Cheah Lee took me when I first arrived in Karachi in July 2007. They have everything that we needed to buy should we want to cook Malaysian dishes. There are imported groceries from Thailand like lemon grass, coconut milk, tomyam, thai red chillies, glutinous rice etc etc. Beside they are selling most of groceries items, books, DVD's, medicines, had small florist corner and money changer that was established there in 2010.

| Kimchi noodles, my favourite |
There's a Korean restaurant that serves Korean and Japanese food that we frequently visited. My favorite at her place are Kimchi soup with salty fish that unbeatable good. Besides, I like to order her BBQ beef which are a little bit sweet and kimchi noodles. She and her husband owns 2 lovely and obedient dogs that once in a while would follow them to work. Both dogs are really friendly and adorable to see.
Two photos above are Sunday Bazaar, the only place we, Malaysian would spent our times at. Chow and Cheah Lee took me there on my second week in the city. Later I met many Malaysian and form quite large circles of friends. Thereafter, weekends never gets lonely anymore. Okay, below were among a few Malaysian and their families working and resided there that I always hang out with during my first year, i.e. in 2007/2008.
Below photo was snapped in early 2008 where IJM staff has started to join me in the office to fill in the organisation chart number. Some with families some are not. Syahirah and I were at Haniza's place with her daughter and Fadzil daughter's that used to be overly close to the 3 of us (Syahirah, Nasrul & I) when the photo was taken. Fadzil's family and my family together with Chow were sharing the same house, the same transport and driver and cooks. We were all staying at Defence Housing Area (DHA) which are the most safest zone in Karachi, untouchable to the turmoil.
Some of the birthdays that we had at Platinum Residency, Clifton when we shifted from DHA housing area.
