Errand runner

Once in a while ,I have to pull up my socks and run errands for the hubby. Usually when he is overseas.I get to visit these plush offices in the capacity of office clerk, errand girl or what we call back home in India… a peon!
So there I was in the Central biz district of Hong Kong, in my best Hijab (still just black) ,and trying to walk as briskly as these executive types that are a dime a dozen out in those parts. It didn’t work! I stood out like a sore thumb, and was obviously either an Arab-ish tourist, or alternatively,an Indian in a Hijab….which would be more accurate, actually!
Well, Alhamdulillah, I followed hubby’s instructions to the T, as is my panic stricken, paranoid way of doing his errands, and
Alha
mdulillah again….I didn’t muck up!
May I add , I quite enjoy this once in a while! Not just for the change in routine, which is nice, but because I can sneak over to the many by-lane markets and grab some stuff from the street stalls! Tch…how unprofessional.
