All about Rezeki

Today we were given a treat by our boss, as it was a birthday a couple of days ago. Many happy returns of the day Puan NCD, may you be blessed always. Her secretary initiated a pool so that we were able to get her a gift. It wasn't that much, a mere token, but when you get 90 people to contribute to it, it came out to quite a lot.

Her secretary, Kak Raffy, than went ahead to get Puan NCD lunch, thinks it was KFC and a hamper from Famous Amos. We hope you like it Puan. Now, in return, today, Puan treated all 90 os us, to a serving of Nasi Beriyani - each! That's delivery boy Azril doing his round distributing the Nasi Beriyani. Thanks babes, siap ada trolley segala!



Now here comes the point of the entry. I used to think rezeki only comes in huge sizes, a house , a car, a big fat raise etc.. But over the years, I've began to appreciate the smaller things in life. To me, rezeki now comes in all shapes and sizes.

Take for example, we all contributed less than RM 5 each for Puan NCD's gift and in return we had an RM 9 meal given to us. Alhamdulillah. Us accountants would calculate the return on investment (old habits die hard), and and we actually made a 70% return on our initial investment. Tak besar tu?

Another example I have is about a month ago, I went to the Mattel Warehouse sale to stock up on birthday gifts. Barbie dolls were cheap, going for RM 10 per doll so I bought more than 20. I didn't want them all, just a few that I could keep for future parties (habis kantoi with all my friends now.. he he), so I asked my collegues, kot ada sape2 want some dolls for their kids or nieces. And whaddya know, 20 dolls were taken with a particular friend grabbing 6 dolls (you know who you are and I know you're reading this ;) ). Anyways I was asked why I never marked up the prices of the dolls, maybe to RM 15 per doll, so that I could make a clean profit of RM 100. Well, bukan niat I pun nak menjual, sekadar nak tolong anyone since I went to the sale and it isn't accessible to everyone, to me it would be good enough to know the recipents of the dolls would be happy!

So I left it at that, and whaddya know.. 2 weeks later I got an sms asking me whether I wanted F1 tix from FNgah and AA, of course I want them! Ha ha ha.. You know what, god is great, instead of that RM 100 that I supposedly could have made, he gave me something else better, two RM 1,200 tickets each, yep you read right, each, for the recent F1 race in Sepang. Nak I kira rate of return on this ke? Thinks you can do the math ;)

There you have it, rezeki comes in all shapes and sizes, my apologies if my explanation doesn't really appeal to everyone, but I do believe that god works in mysterious ways and there's always something waiting for you down the road, and in the mean time, go ahead and enjoy these small pleasures in life that he gives you along the way.. Kita bersyukur diatas segala pemberiannye k?

I know I analyse a lot of things all the time (again, old habits die hard, and WKA is probably nodding his head when he reads this, keh keh keh..), but I like to see things from a different perspective, whether it's right or wrong, well, it's a person's perception kan, but this is my thoughts on this.

In the meantime, I'm about to enjoy my rezeki for today, thanks Puan NCD once again, the smell is so yummylicious, I'm going to have to stop now!
