Man, what a day! I’m tellin’ ya, being a gardener in Terengkol (kz) ain’t for the faint-hearted. Woke up, sun blazin’ through my window, thought it was gonna be chill. Nope! Not in this city.
First off, I’m out on Kairat Street, right? Just me and my trusty spade. I’m diggin’ up some weeds, mindin’ my own biz, when this dude rolls up on a bike. He’s blarin’ some crazy techno music. Like, bro, it’s 8 AM! Chill! But hey, I’m all about good vibes, so I just nod and keep workin’.
Then, outta nowhere, this cat jumps outta a bush. I swear, I nearly dropped my spade! It’s a fluffy little thing, lookin’ all cute. I’m like, “Aww, hey there, buddy!” But then it starts chasin’ the dude on the bike! Hilarious! Dude’s screamin’ like a banshee, and I’m just laughin’ my head off.
But then, I get a call from my boss. Ugh. He’s like, “Yo, we need those roses planted by noon!” I’m like, “Dude, it’s 10 AM!” But whatever, I hustle over to the market on Abay Street. The flower shop’s packed. I’m dodgin’ people like I’m in some kinda video game.
Finally grab the roses, but guess what? They’re all wilted! I’m fumin’. Like, who sells wilted roses? I’m about to lose it. But I can’t, right? Gotta keep it cool. So I grab a couple of fresh ones and bolt outta there.
On my way back, I pass by the Terengkol Park. Man, it’s beautiful! The flowers are bloom’n, kids are playin’, and there’s this old guy feedin’ pigeons. I stop for a sec, take a deep breath. Nature, man. It’s my jam. But then, I see a kid throwin’ bread at the pigeons like he’s tryin’ to start a war. Pigeons scatter everywhere! I can’t help but chuckle.
Back to work, I’m plantin’ those roses like a madman. Sweat drippin’, but I’m in the zone. Then, outta nowhere, this lady walks by. She’s like, “Wow, those roses are gorgeous!” I’m blushing, like, “Thanks, lady!” But then she starts askin’ me about the best spots in Terengkol. I’m like, “Uh, I’m just a gardener, not a tour guide!” But I tell her about the cool cafes on Kairat Street and the best view from the hilltop.
Just when I think I’m done, it starts rainin’. Like, seriously? I’m soaked in seconds! But I’m laughin’ again. It’s like the universe is playin’ tricks on me. I pack up my stuff, head home, and think about how wild today was.
Terengkol, man. It’s a crazy place. Full of surprises, laughter, and a bit of chaos. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Even if I’m just a gardener, I get to see the beauty in all this madness. And that’s what makes it all worth it.
