Pasar Malam...
Pasar Malam. Say that word to any of my close friends and they will know that I’m passionate about it. Especially the one near where I stay, in Connaught. Every week, I go for walk there twice on the same day, which is like a weekly routine no matter how busy I am. The rationale behind it? I’ve got no idea. My friends call me cracked; some even say I’m nuts. I don’t know which one, but I can assure you that I am indeed in love with Pasar Malam.
For me Pasar Malam is the place where I had ‘discovered myself’ (shophoholic), the place where I ‘meditate’ (after stress from boring classes), and the place where I had revealed my inner talent (bargaining).
There is this sense of relief I get just by looking at the sparkling economical jewelries that hardly lasts for a week. Otherwise, I love listening to blasting senseless music from the CD stalls, if not eating those fancy unhealthy, fattening foods. Even pushing my way through foul smelling crowded people recharges my brain and strangely, I have never felt this way elsewhere..
And as for today, I’ve just realize that I am going to leave this place soon after I finish my studies and I’m sure I’m going to miss Pasar Malam badly. I’ve got no idea how I’m going to manage my days after this. I guess I’ll have to settle with meditation or a yoga class, except I’m sure it can never replace my fav. Pasar Malam as it is still and will always be the most effective stress reliever.
