While exploring downtown yesterday, Jeremiah came across a Chinese-themed pasar malam timed to coincide with the lunar new year. On sale were Indonised Chinese food, lunar new year decorations etc. There was also a Chinese karaoke competition that were attended by about 10 people, mostly elderly folks. When Jeremiah stumbled upon the competition, an elderly Bapak was singing an oldie in Mandarin.
At first, Jeremiah was very excited, for it was the first time in a while that he might not be lost in translation. Then, it quickly dwelled upon him that the folks there would be of a different wavelength, i.e. same language but different frequencies. Thus enlightened, Jeremiah quickly took his leave after taking some photos.
