So what's the plan now?
So what's the deal now?
Should you or shouldn't you?
I'm a doctor,
That's what I am
I'm a writer,
That's what I am
I'm a singer,
That's what I am
Sometimes, you just need somebody to tell you that you can
Life is about timing, opportunity and choices.

Travelling is fun, especially when you meet total random strangers who tell you their stories.
One of them is the cash machine security guard whom I met outside a pashmina shop while the girls went in for bargain battle again. He is a Nepalese who used to work in Malaysia 3 years ago. He told me he worked in JB at a hardware manufacturing company. His Malay is surprisingly fluent, for, he explained, he dated an Indonesian before. He too had a Vietnamese girlfriend keeping him accompany all those 5 long years. Owh wait, I thought Nepalese get married early, is he having an affair out there? "Buddy, don't spread this out, I daren't tell my wife about their existence." So I was right, the Indonesian and Vietnamese ladies were his mistress overseas. "You sure are one big international playboy, my friend," We laughed. "My wife has always been suspicious of the mysterious night calls I received. But she found out nothing about them. I wouldn't be here talking to you if she has."
I guess that's the fun of travelling, meeting random people and listening to their secret of life which even their closest one doesn't even know of.
Ah, what an honour to have such a random street friend, and, of course, to have also seen his little mischievous cat in the bag.
