Night market... It was probably the place that I had most frequently visited to since I was in Shah Alam four months ago.
Speaking of night market, one would thought of local delicacies such as nasi lemak, roti Jong, murtabak, nasi ayam percik, laksa, cendol, soy bean milk, delicious dessert as well as fresh fruits and vegetables.
Besides thinking of food, one would think of people, of course! One had to walk from shoulder to shoulder in night market due to the crowded condition. The main attraction in the night market were the great varieties of food and the cheap price. It was similar to flea market other than the fact that we could only find food in it.
It was dusk when I walked out from my hostel. I could feel the heat from the afternoon. I took slow strokes on my way to the night market. The air was polluted by the exhaust fumes from the vehicles which were also on the way to the night market.
Contrary to my past few visits, tonight's trip really widened my view. I had encountered new phenomenon in the night market. There was a couple of busker at one corner of the market, two kids and an adult sitting on the ground along the hawker stalls. The latter were *begging for money.
*It was just merely my guess, I hereby apologise if I coiled the term wrongly.
In fact, the pair of busker could sing very well. However, it was inappropriate for kids to be alone in the night market, sitting on the ground with a case in front of them. First, it was the concern of their safety and second, what other people would think of them?
Actually, I could rule out any skepticism about what I claimed to see tonight by showing the photographs of them. However, I did not take the photographs as I realised that I had no right to take their photographs without their concerns.
