Geylang Food Bazaar: First touch for 2009

Everything had to be done in a jiffy. Right after Maghrib, Mas was asking me to accompany her go get some food for her Sahur tomorrow morning, right before she goes to work. And i, personally wasnt planning to spend too much time in Geylang.

2005hrs : Final conclusion on the phone
2009hrs : Out from the shower
2017hrs : First crank of the engine
2032hrs : At Mas's place

There was this ongoing challenge that Mas offered indicating that i cant reach her place by 8.30. True enough. I was 2 minutes late and all thanks to excellent driving from taxi drivers who hog the first lane of the expressway, going at 80-ish km/h. Thanks. I continue...

2040hrs : Reached Geylang Serai. Parked the car.
2042hrs : Look at my upcoming house thats undergoing painting.
2043hrs : Push through the crowd. Yes, the crowd had already started although half of the shops are still not open yet.
2045hrs : Buy dendeng! DENGDENG!!
2048hrs : Buy burung puyuh for my brother.
2049hrs : Say hi to Encik Sabri, 1st Div RSM.
2055hrs : Mas got some keropok lekoh and mango juice. I got burger ramli special. Yum yum....

Kinda regret not drawing out more cash before i went to fetch Mas. So with limited cash and even more limited time, i had to rush and make do. Luckily Mas got to work on time and i got my cravings fulfilled for the nite.

PS: As i was getting the burung puyuh, there was this group of young boys pointing out to the array of delicacies being displayed, going, "Eewwww, eewww. Err-singh. Err-singh". They were not older than 12 and at such a young and tender age, they have already proved to the world that they are indefinitely gonna grow up to be assholes. So so rude. I congratulate thee for in the future, you are the ones who will be dominating all the MRT seats with 1 leg up and with you picking at your scabs and toe jam and with your plastic bag conquering the seat right next to you. How refine...
