As usual on a Saturday morning I woke up at 6am to fetch my parents to the wet market. Many people don’t understand why so early and our family constantly get this curious question.

I took out my trusty handy inflator and started to fill in air, at 6.15am in the morning with loud and noisy inflator haha.
