Pasar Malam Here I Come

I just love pasar malams. The vibrant colors of umbrellas, the frantic activities of vendors, the fragrant smells of assam laksa and keropok lekor, the tasty air mata kucing, the cheap fruits, the bargaining of prices and the list goes on. I’m a pure Malaysian at heart who has been brought up going to pasar malams by my granny as well as mom who were always on the look out for a great bargain on almost everything. So when I stationed myself at the SS2 pasar malam yerterday, I immediately felt at home with the surrounding.Ann with the keropok lekor brothers

My 1^st stop was beside my favorite stall, the keropok lekor. The 2 guys selling yesterday were such great sports they even posed with me and my cardboard cut out. After a few minutes of chatting, a pretty gal approached me, asking for permission to snap my photo. Gladly I posed for her although I have to apologise on my sweaty appearance (it was a hot day and my sweat was seriously poring out!).

Ann & Slippers Vendor

I moved to another side of the pasar malam (the one facing favorite hangout KTZ) and stationed myself beside a groovy stall selling slippers and sandals. The lady vendor, after a few moments of chatting up also agreed to pose with me. I AM truly blessed to be surrounded by great people who are so helpful. She wished me luck and as I was walking away towards the main road, I met with a group of people queing up for their dose of assam laksa.

Ann & two female spotters

I stopped beside them and enthralled them with my quest of becoming RM50 000 richer but in order to do that, I truly need their support. Intrigued with my story, two pretty gals immediately snapped my photo and told me that they will do their best to submit it online. Thank you so much ladies.

A few minutes after that the sky started to turn dark and chatters of possibility of rain could be heard among the vendors. Not wanting to spoil my beautiful cardboard cut out, I made my way back to the car and headed to the nearest shopping centre, 1Utama to seek shelter from the rain.

Hanakaya Staffs, 1Utama Old Wing

The staffs of Hanakaya at 1Utama has always been great to me. So when they saw me carrying my cardboard cut out, they immediately came over to ask about it. I told them about the competition and then asked them to pose with me. Without hesitation, they grouped around me and the above was that great shot that came out of it.

From Hanakaya I made my way to Sealantis where I was suppose to collect a few stuffs that I had ordered earlier. There I met with fellow divers, Stanley, Yen and Andy. They had just recently came back from diving in Tioman and still have that island tan. Between raving about what they did, seen, ate and drunk, I managed to get a photo shot with them.

Yen then told me that she will try her best to submit my photo onto the website and before they left, Stanley told me that I should do a major demo at Bukit Bintang area where I will definitely gather a lot of publicity. Thank you Stanley for that brilliant advise.

My quest for publicity ended yesterday at Sealantis. With lots of motivation and condusive advise from all my friends, I will continue with the quest of seeking publicity tomorrow. Be on the look out for my next entry. Till then, take care and publicise yourself!
