A bowl of porridge and a girl

Numerologically beautiful dates are not auspicious. Or could it be? Well my days are magical enough whenever i experience love at first sight. *violin

It was on the 9.11.11 when my bro picked me up from home at 01.01am. OMG the numbers?? Naah..false alarm.Well regardless, it was still a special day because that was when i first saw bubur girl.

On normal working days, i wouldn’t have agreed on meeting even before 12am and what more of going to a really late night market at Uptown Shah Alam! Ladies and gentleman, yes ada orang actually pergi shopping around that hour. In fact, Digi has sponsored karaoke stage for anyone who has the balls, insanity or those who communicate their feelings better through singing. I have witnessed a man singing, “aku tidak percayakan kau lagi….ooOoo…” at 2.00am without any company or groupie. Mind you, this was going on while people are going around to shop. *clap clap for him.

Now let’s get back to the girl who sold the ‘most delicious’ porridge in shah alam. Ironically i would have never thought of eating around there because this market opens between 12am to 3am everyday! My diet forbids any food intake during these hours and heck i should be in bed and wake up around such hour for Tahjud instead. (An optional prayer performed only when you have taken a nap) *cough

But quick divine intervention was as real as Kim Kardashian’s divorce. Anything could happen no matter how brief it was. When i first saw bubur girl,she reminded of a Japanese actress. Can’t remember her name or the titles of her movies cos well it’s in Japanese, but i was fixated by her genuine smile of a hard working stall owner.

Her bubur was a bit sepah, with dried onions, anchovies, cili padi and some weird garnish, tapi hey cinta memerlukan pengorbanan as they say…Usually i would have come out with a line and chat up a girl but, i rarely meet a Malay girl who would make me stutter. My bro was laughing to himself throughout the awkward moment as she came to our table. It went on like this…

Bubur girl: Ada pesan bubur kan. RM3.50

Me: Uhhhh yea.Ada.(trembling hands reaching for money in wallet)

Bubur girl: (Taps feet) *probably mumbling to herself cepatla bang oi

Bro: Kau sejak bila order bubur?

Me: Aku memang layan la. (should i use a line on her? but shit what bubur line can i come out with and in malay??)

*Nothing happened after except i spilled the free sup kosong because i was overexcited after seeing bubur girl. Aah…it was love *violin

It goes on to say that, sometimes the best things in life happens to you during unexpected dates. How you live your life on that day will then determine its outcome. Give your day a meaning by expecting nothing and trying everything. I should have chat up with bubur girl cos a fraction of my heart was taken by her, but man…i still gotta teach her how to make bubur. (no it is not a pickup line)

Will i go to Uptown Shah Alam to see bubur girl again? Well…time will tell, and if it does end up being unrequited love then i guess i can sing it out at Digi’s karaoke stage.

OOoooohhh cintaaa kauu palsuuu lagi memalsukann…..
