Mum: "see this is why I wanted to come to the market at 5" (o'clock IN THE MORNING)

anyway-- this is what city people do in lieu of actually cooking our own rendang and lemang etc.

Against the backdrop of a dark blue dawn sky, a brightly lit tent stands out in a field of tents. We are at the pre-Eid farmer's market, and the tent in focus has a long queue if people patiently waiting to pay for their goods (of which you can vaguely see the stacks of lemang in their bamboo casings to the left of the tent, while the queue forms a chain to the right). The scene is full of bright colours of orange, yellow and blue, from the colourful tarp that makes up the tents and table covers
Now actually at the same tent, amidst people walking about and in blurry focus, a lady in a hijab, loose top and pants, and a giant shopping bag, paused to look at the little black and white cat by her feet who is also in blurry focus as they too have places to be. As such she is in sharper focus. Behind them are the tables of Raya food being perused by other people for purchase
