As the music continues to play (literally, from my previous post), I’ve decided to share with you my list of must haves that will keep your guests rejoicing as you welcome their presence. Here’s my very own Aidilfitri Home-Customer Service Tips Pack:

1. Niche Food

I love going to my aunt’s place because of her sambal sotong. She does sambal sotong like no other, and because of that, guests are often aplenty at her house. Simple for her as well… little of this and that, but cook up a storm when it comes to sambal sotong. Recogize your own niche food, and treat.

2. Nice Door Mat

Invest in a “Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri Door Mat” or something nice lah, especially for you folks who have pets (and hence have to shut the gates most of the time even when expecting guests). It’s a much more pleasant sight than some scruffy old mat in front of a closed gate.

3. Keep Your Handphone in Your Pocket Always

Mobile telcos too go all smileys during Aidil Fitr as the number of outgoing calls rise. Be contactable. Oh, and make sure that call waiting ringing tone in your mobile phone fits the occassion too.

4. Drinks Drinks Drinks

Salaam, my name is Hafihz. I’ve travelled afar to visit you my friend. Oh… and I’m thirsty too. (…)

5. Contingency Answers to Sensitive Questions

Bound to happen. Your uncle will suddenly pop that question which you’d wish none would ask. It’s that family secret, hush hush thingy which gets you in a fix and is oh-so-hard to answer. Get ready with diplomatically nice answers to these questions.

Any of these familiar?
