Faster faster fasting
Faster faster raya
Faster faster work
We are zombies of the modern world. Kinda reminds me of the movie Matrix. The whole human race serves as batteries for the huge machines ruling the world. Only, in real life we have actual people managing whatever we see around us.
For instance - when its school holidays, you will notice the sudden silence in the mornings when you're traveling to work. When I start to wonder what happened to the traffic, the first thing that crosses my mind would be this fact.
Everyday when we step outside our house to head for work. Some of us are still in 'zombie' mode, until we get the nicotine fix we normally have. For some, they just can't function without their coffee.
Zombies.
We are a victim of clockwork timing.
1. Stalls. Every corner of every street. There are stalls everywhere! KL Sentral (ke central?), Masjid Jamek, Maju Junction, Chow Kit. Not that I am annoyed by them, but makes me wonder if there are so many stalls, can the 'ramadhan market' really cater these stalls? *wonder wonder*. Well, this only proves that we are a wealthy society. Who says we don't have money to spend even with the price hike of so many provisions.
2. Chicks with face masks. Dammit! I hate those awkward glances. Just because they are wearing a face mask, gives them the 'license' to stare mean-fully. Then we have the not-so-hot-chicks giving the don't-look-at-me looks. This face mask thing is really bugging me, because I don't see the H1N1 awareness in them. Preventing an epidemic vs license to stare awkwardly. Tapi macam mana pun kena pakai jugak.... Haih~
3. Param. For those who are not familiar with Bangsar's param location, it is located right across Masjid Abu Bakar As-Siddiq. The lorong beside the car dealer.Every year is the same stuff. Mahal pulak tu. My only favourite 'juadah berbuka' would be the murtabak from Din Murtabak. Red and white logo. Cheap, really delicious and fast. Other than that, just the normal food. Oh and don't go on Sundays because the param would clash with Bangsar's pasar malam (palam ke?)...
For param junkies, the awesome locations would be SS19 Subang Jaya, Titwangsa, Sect 13 Shah Alam (near the stadium), Kg Baru. This list might need to be updated, since these are the few params known for years and yet to be surpassed.
In Shah Alam, every year there will be some stall trying to outdo the others. No kidding. They either sell at a cheaper price or have some weird but delicious food / drink. I remember there was a special mixture which were selling really cheap, if my memory serves me correctly the ingredients were laicikang + mixed fruits (laici, mata kucing, nata de coco etc etc) + concoction of several cordials. The result, a magnificent combustion of sweet and sour right in your mouth. Yes, that drink is so awesome.... (ter'drool' kejap).
The list goes on, but that's what makes me think what kind of society we are. A society of trends, with clock work timing. Every day of the year is a day for some kind of 'change', but meant only for that certain period of time. I guess that is the reason why Islam in our country has become a 'budaya' instead of being an actual religion. Same applies to our Friday prayers, fasting month, Raya celebrations, and the list goes on.
Ok guys, gotta go edi. If you're bored to the bones, my other blogs are here. Kill your time away..
Just my 2 cents.
