Pasar Malam

Ahh man. Its been 2 and 1/2 years I've been to any pasar malam. The last time i went was during my 2006 summer break. Pasar Malam have been the hangout place for me almost every Thursday at OUG and every Saturday at Happy Garden during my high skul times. Of course we love to go with friends, and partners and we want to avoid parents.

Today I followed my dad to pasar malam. Actually I didn't intend to go but today the Streamyx bill came and it doesn't look good. All these while we've been using the RM44 package which give us 60 hours of surfing time @ 512kbps download speed. Obviously 60 hours is not good enough for me, and 512kbps is like torturing me. I can still bare with the speed, I mean if i want to download anything i can still leave it on the whole night for it to complete. But the time limitation is really a killer factor. So after a long discussion with my dad, we had to choice - either to upgrade to streamyx 88 or to switch to P1 Wimax.

P1 seems to be very attractive and gets good review from users. So, we decided to visit the nearest roadshow booth which is at the pasar malam today. Sadly my area is not under full coverage yet but they'll still send somebody to my house for a test one of these days. Anyway back to the main topic. Of course I did walk 1 round thru the pasar malam. Ahh gives me lots of memories. There're few stalls that remain at the same position, for example the pirated computer CD shop that i always visited, the fried carrot cake shop, taiwanese sausage, and many more.

I walk to pasar malam with my dad. Not that we can't drive, just that we should exercise once in a while. Looking back during my form 4 period, I have to walk all the way to Happy Garden, which is about 25mins walk, then from there walk around 10-15 mins to OUG pasar malam. That's one way journey, and the same thing back home. Yes its freaking tiring but I really enjoy those moments alot.

Nowadays, none of us like to go pasar malam already. We go there probably for a specific purpose only. True enough, I did not meet a single friend in pasar malam, while my dad met at least 2 -3 groups of his students. I guess the pasar malam thingy has long gone for our generation.

Anyway it was a good to walk pasar malam again and i hope i can persuade some of my friends to walk with me one day.
