A Line for Everything

When the second booster was made available, the uptake was very slow. The nearest vaccination center in my neighbourhood was at Pavilion Bukit Jalil, and according to reports, the staff there just sit around all day. At first, my mum adamantly told me that she didn't want the second booster. Then all of a sudden, she wanted it. By that time, the vaccination was swamped no doubt due to rising infections, and the fact that the center was nearing the end of its stint. We went to the vaccination center on the Monday following Hari Raya Haji (gratitude to the people who were working that day). Since it was a holiday, I wasn't surprised by the long queue. Thankfully there was a separate line for senior citizens. Actually, there was no official announcement on the offering of second boosters to those below age 60, but there they were lining up for it. Nobody cares I guess, since the government might as well utilize the vaccines before they expire.

After mum got her shot (I didn'y get it), we went looking for food. The queue outside of restaurants were just as bad as the vaccination center. We were saved by the food court inside The Food Merchant. Delicious nasi kunyit rendang ayam with accompanying entertainment from a busker. Tsutaya Books also recently opened, so there was another crazy queue outside it. Enough queues for one day!
