these small things about life

Went to the market yesterday. I haven't stepped foot into this place for many months now. Especially the Pasar Tani side of it. I figured, what the heck. Let's go have some fun today by going out to the market. Might not sound too fun to the average person I suppose but it's these small things about life which intrigue me at best.













It's still a little awkward, walking around Sri Muda market with a camera in hand. I'd only do it with company. Never alone as it's not a real safe place around here these days sadly. Having breakfast at the coffee shop was the icing on the cake. I really will miss this when I leave to Australia for good. I'll miss hanging out with Mum and Dad (and Michelle lah) as well. I don't know how people cope with it really. It's not like I haven't been away from them before ... it's just that finality of not being able to see them once you board that plane and leave. It's not like you can just say "OK, I'm going home to see Ma and Pa." You'll just have to swallow the bitter pill and just go with it. As time passes by, I suppose things get better we all learn to accept it eventually.


(well ... only you're not 21 this time)

Anyway ... today is Dad's 51st. He just got home from work so we're letting him sleep in for a while before we go out for Secret Recipe later. OHNOES cakes! Damn. Must go for a LONG jog first.
