Patriotic by Convenience

It was kind of late and mom asked if I could just pop out to buy bread from the nearby petrol kiosk. She also wanted me to get some bananas, but at 11pm, I highly doubted I would find any.

So anyway, I decided to take the opportunity for a casual drive around Subang Jaya. So weird that I decided to do that, because it wasn't as if I hardly get the chance to drive around at night. Quite the opposite actually. But I guess things felt different because I wasn't really in a hurry nor was I headed anywhere in particular. So I quite enjoyed myself.

The bread was easy enough to find, there are so many petrol kiosks and 7-elevens all over the place. I wonder if anyone's ever stopped to count the total number in Subang alone? Nevermind, just a thought. Why do we need so many? Maybe it's a good sign that we live in abundance, no? Yes!

I found my way to SS15 and it was CRAZY! So late (relative, yes I know) and still so packed with people! Thankfully, I managed to find a parking spot nearby, and even though I was in the shop only a little while, I came back to discover that some bozo decided to double park his fancy-schmancy foreign 4-wheel drive car right behind mine!!! *GROWL!* What to do? Horn like crazy la!

I wanted to head back, but thought I'd give the search for the illusive late bananas one more try. So I drove to SS14 and lo and behold! There was an Indian convenience shop still open! "How Convenient!" (Haha!) But seriously, I was impressed! Where else will you be able to find bananas for sale so late in the night? Only in Malaysia la. Suddenly I felt so proud of my country. Despite all the political hoodlum mess, Malaysia's a pretty cool country to live in (not temperature-wise).

Where else is food so conveniently and readily available even in the wee hours of the night???!!! And there were Ramlee Burger stalls aplenty too!!! (Ooo... I was so tempted to eat lor! *RAWR* Dang you RAMLY burgers!!! WHy must you be so scrumptiously deliciousely tastily oily fatty unhealthily tempting me??!!!!! AAAARRGGGGHHH!)

But I forced myself to say NO! Rather, I didn't stop and get out of the car. Easier that way so's you don't get hooked after catching a whiff of the aroma~ mmm... (STOPITSTOPITSTOPIT!!!)

So in conclusion, Malaysia's a pretty cool place to live in (not weather-wise again)(Unless you're forced to be on a diet, which I'm not. I AM however, very random this evening, as you've probably already noticed). Incidentally, I'm participating in this event called Run For the Nation where we get to go on a prayer run and pray for our nation. We must pray for our country lor. If we should admit it, we actually love her deep inside if we love our Roti Canais and Nasi Lemaks and Char Koay Teows at 1am. (Shops in Australia and the UK closes at 6pm!!! Hello??!!! Where you gonna satisfy your midnite hunger pangs?)

It used to be that way here in the US before the dictator obama and his Gestapo and military police patrols, and checkpoints. If we go out at night we risk being beaten to death by police gangs. Even in the day time they shoot people that aren't doing anything illegal. They break down doors at 3 in the morning and shoot the peoples dogs and throw old ladies on the ground and stand on their heads, or stick guns in their ear, and scream at them. Your lucky you can go to a store and get food without getting beaten.
