78. Another pasar malam day

Taking a walk in the pasar malam area is really tiring. Narrow roads, packed people, even jams.

But then, there's the fun part of it. One gets to see all sorts of people. Of course, you'd get the normal people: sellers, buyers, families.

And then there's the very common couples walking around hand in hand (making singles like me, quite envious of their position, even more envious when the girl whose hand their fingers are intertwined in is quite pretty). On top of that, there's also those females who from the way their dressed, it's like they are male bait.

Now, onto specific people. There's one which attracted my attention. This guy about mid teens was twirling the hair of the pre-teen girl in front of him. The first thing that came into my mind was, 'This guy has a younger sister complex!'. Okay, I'm being evil. Then I looked on some more (shit, now I'm a stalker) and yeah, sister complex, since both of them calls the same person mother (Okay, I'm jumping to conclusions here, but the image struck me as very very wrong).

Beggars are also common sightings in such a place, yes? Usually, they have some sort of disability. Which reminds me. There's this 'beggar' or whatever, he's been there since I was... 6? And the last time I saw him was last year, at the same spot he occupied all this time! Nowadays, the disabled beggars usually have some sort of performance as well. There's this guy, singing, in the middle of the street! He's missing a leg, but pushing a trolley which has his amp, a tiny handheld TV thingy, and power generator.

I was thinking, if he can afford these, why not sell it, and whatever money he gets, do something with it? Anyway, there was this couple passing by at the same time, and they were laughing at him! Poor guy! Until I paid attention to his singing. And, damn, it was bad. I confess, I found it amusing.

Oh, and there was an auction going on as well! There's this guy selling fengshui stuff, and there were actually people listening to him. He was going on like a machine gun on how good his crystals are (as usual) and the price of it. And at the rate he was going, he was increasing his bargain, like one crystal RM30, next half-second, 1 set of crystal for RM30, next half-second, 2 sets of crystals for RM30.

And that's it la, this time. Uneventful trip.
