as i was about to leave d office 2 days ago, my colleague shikin asked me if der is any Ramadhan bazaar near my place because at first she had planned to take hanan to one near her place but then she's not sure where d nearest train station is to send hanan later and so i told her der are some bazaars near my area. of course i wont mind taking them der but once hanan n shikin persuaded me to tag along, i was reluctant furthermore it looked like it was gonna rain plus i have no intention of buying anything at d bazaar. after much persuasion and pestering, i gave in and decided to go along. at tis point, i felt obligated because hanan has been wanting to go to Ramadhan bazaar since day 1 of fasting and shikin willingly wants to drive him and i'd make a terrible fren if i wont show them d way.

it took us about 20mins to get to d bazaar in setiawangsa and we easily found parking spots which isnt too far from where d bazaar starts. as i put on my mask and got out from d car, i realized it was drizzling but neither of us brought our umbrella and so we resumed our lil adventure. at d top of hanan's list were a handful of delicacies (they were all at d top of his list, believe me!) and as we walked further into d bazaar, hanan seemed like a boy entering an ice cream factory because his face was gleaming like he has never seen anything more exciting than d bazaar! we took a stroll up to d very last stall then back and started stopping at stalls to grab our foods, which turned out to be fun. of course i had to control myself because im against food-wasting but looking at my frens food-shopping, especially hanan, it was really worth our trip.

d thing is with me, i'm more of a NO person, probably because im not d adventurous type. i've said NO to so many things but when i finally gave in, i realized dat i might regret not having experience these things i've said NO to in d first place. like dat time back in uni, my group of frens were invited to join 'dikir barat' competition organized by our seniors for their subject 'organization skills' and d logical thing for me to say was NO. but then after some persuasion and wanting to conform to my group, i reluctantly joined and ended up enjoying myself and it was definitely one of d best moments i had back then. i always like to think of myself as d 'practical person' meaning if i dont see d need for a certain things, i will immediately cancel it off my list but i guess being impractical once in a while is not wrong, as long as it's not at d expense of other people.

anyway, my colleagues are planning to go to d Ramadhan bazaar again this eve, i might wanna tag along. i'll just remind them to bring their masks!
