If I can shove the things I’ve purchased into my big magic bag or my "recycle" bag, I will; "taknak plastic bag" I said.

Not really for environmental reasons (that’s secondary. Guilty!). Just that there are too many plastic bags in the house! And in my room! I don’t want to go through the "breeding plastic bags in my almari" phase again.

On my way to work this morning, I stopped by at the 24h convenient store. The lady in Q in front of me bought one small chocolate drink. The cashier girl asked "nak plastik?", the lady said "yes". And then my turn, I have 2 items and the cashier girl has standby-ed a plastic bag in her hand. After she teet-teet my purchase, I just said "taknak plastik". Cashier girl said "Bagus! Dia tu (the lady with chocolate drink) tak alam sekitar betul".

I just smiled. Smile because she said "tak alam sekitar", that was cute.

And today, the world will be a better place for you and for me...and the entire human race.
