Going for this trip was really an eye opening experience for me. I managed to get a glimpse of how wonderful Malaysia's art is.
First of all, a few friends and I went to Petaling Street to have lunch. It makes me feel nostalgic because I used to go there most of the time after school. Most importantly it shows the wonder of Malaysia.
After being at Petaling Street, my friends and I went over to Central Market where all the students have to gather.
Once we were there, we met up with some other classmates. We then met up with Mr. Khairul. We were then briefed on what we're suppose to do and take notice.
When I was there at the art section of Central Market, the place really amazed me. I never knew such place exist in Central Market. Although I've been there a few times before but I've never come across this place, the Art Section.Mr. Khairul had mentioned that this area shows many local arts. From batik to sand arts and live caricature. It impresses me how Malaysian artist still have a sense of patriotism. They imply that value in their artwork.
At this particular shop, an artist name Nik, while passing by his shop, he was actually doing his work on a house plan. He was telling my friends and I about his work and also he told us about how art is really an expensive thing. Also he gave some advises about what the younger generations should do. He asked us what course are we studying. Then he told us that we should do what benefits us in the future but we should enjoy during the process. That's only how we can achieve happiness in life. The words he said still lingers around in my mind wondering what I should really be doing now and how my life would be in 5 more years. 
Also, I saw a live demonstration of sand arts. A young lady demonstrated it and it grab the passers-by attention. The lady was so concentrated on doing the sand art but however, she smile at times. That makes me feel like art is something to be enjoyed by everyone and you should enjoy your own talent too. Being an artist really is all about expressing yourself simply and being an artist is born natural.
Throughtout the trip, seeing all the arts in Central Market makes me feel like our local artist are doing a great job. Without them, the Malaysian art will probably decay. However, the Central Market now is not like the one I used to know. The Central Market now is more well developed and there are more modern stuff instead of portraying our local arts and handmade crafts.
