Man, what a day! Seriously, I can’t even. So, I woke up in Banjaran, right? The sun was blazing, and I was like, “Ugh, another day in paradise.” But lemme tell ya, it was anything but chill.
First off, I had to head to the lab on Jl. Raya Banjaran. Traffic was a nightmare! Like, why do people even drive here? It’s like a game of bumper cars, but no one’s winning. I swear, I almost lost my mind. I was stuck behind this old dude on a scooter, going 10 km/h. C’mon, man! I got science to do!
Finally made it to the lab, and guess what? My experiment blew up. Yup, you heard me right. BOOM! I was trying to mix some chemicals for my research on local flora, and instead, I created a mini volcano. The whole place smelled like burnt rubber. I was so mad! I mean, who knew that mixing guava extract with something else could cause chaos?
After that disaster, I needed a break. So, I strolled down Jl. Pahlawan, looking for some food. Found this little warung that had the best nasi goreng ever. I mean, it was like a party in my mouth! I was so happy, I almost cried. The owner, this sweet old lady, gave me extra sambal. Bless her heart!
But then, outta nowhere, it started pouring. Like, monsoon-level rain. I was soaked in seconds. I thought, “Great, just what I needed.” I ducked into a shop on Jl. Merdeka, and guess what? They were selling the cutest batik shirts. I ended up buying one, even though I was dripping wet. It was a total impulse buy, but hey, it was a good distraction from my lab disaster.
Then, I decided to take a walk around the Banjaran park. It’s so beautiful there, with all the trees and flowers. I was feeling zen until I saw a bunch of kids playing soccer. They were so into it, yelling and laughing. I couldn’t help but smile. But then, one of them kicked the ball right at me! I dodged it like a ninja, but man, my heart was racing.
After that, I thought I’d check out the local market on Jl. Suka. It was buzzing with life! Fresh fruits, veggies, and all sorts of snacks. I grabbed some rambutan and mangosteen. So good! But then, I got into a heated debate with a vendor about the price. I mean, c’mon, I’m not paying that much for fruit! We went back and forth, and I was like, “Dude, I’m a scientist, not a millionaire!”
By the time I got home, I was exhausted. My brain was fried. I plopped down on my couch, thinking about the day. It was a rollercoaster, for sure. From explosions to delicious food, to getting soaked and almost getting hit by a soccer ball. Banjaran, you crazy!
But ya know what? I wouldn’t trade it for anything. This city is wild, and I love it. Even on the craziest days, it’s full of surprises. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
