An Afternoon at The Big Bad Wolf

Today marks the annual largest book fair in Malaysia, The Big Bad Wolf. Seriously, this is the second time I have visited this book fair. Previously, I have heard of this event during my 3 years of undergraduate studies but never seem to wanna go because I am not a book guy. The first time I went was the fair in Ipoh and now it is held at The Mines, Serdang. Just a few stations away from my university's station, The Mines is considered the nearest KL shopping mall to us. Honestly, I prefer to go to Midvalley.



In fact, i didnt want to go but to keep Jonathan a company, I decided to spend my afternoon there. Jonathan is a friend whom I got to know from Kenny. We have never met before and decided to meet for the first time at the book fair. Upon reaching, Jonathan was already queuing up at the McDonald's to buy his lunch and I joined the queue. He wanted to buy Happy Meal and get the Penguin toys for his nephew. Dressed in smart and suave attire, Jonathan is charming in his own way. He had his second button unbuttoned and I heard two guys in the queue whispered that he was sexy. To add to that point, Jonathan is a well-built young lad due to his years of gym engagement.

We quickly finished off our lunch and took a walk around the Mines, entered the boutiques and looked at the newly-arrived shirts. After that, we made our way to the convention centre where the book fair was. It was not heavily crowded and so, wasnt suffocated in that confined area. He chose a language book and a kid's book for his nephew. We had small talks whilst choosing the books and he is a very chatty person, in a good way. Our legs were tired after miles of walking and he suggested that we sit down for dessert so we chose Tong Pak Fu and shared the green tea ice floss. All the while, he was very close to me and we noticed that the waitress was uncomfortable with us. This reflects how conservative our society is but I didnt care how people will judge us.

Since Jonathan wanted to leave around 4, he went to Celebrity Fitness to take his belongings (CF member) and knowing my intention to work with CF as a personal trainer, he decided to help me to ask the staffs.

Jonathan: Does becoming a CF trainer has to possess a certificate?
Staff: It depends on the assistant manager, you would have to meet him. Could you leave us your details?
Jonathan: Oh, I am not asking for myself
Staff: Then, you are asking on whose behalf?
Jonathan: I am asking on my boyfriend's behalf

The staffs giggled and laughed before Jonathan left with me. Being naughty and playful in nature, he is indeed a good friend. He advised me to work in Midvalley's CF and hence, I will be going there one day with my resume to apply for this part-time job. Before we parted our ways, we hugged each other and promised to meet again.
