Kurma oh Kurma

Semalam, tepat jer 5.15 Jade dah get ready nak balik. By 5.20 tuh Jade dah ader dalam kereta en route to Pasar Ramadhan di Telawi. Alahai, time puasa ni kan, semua orang pun nak balik awal, semua pun berebut-rebut. Cabaran on the road lebih besar lagi! Sakit hati, jangan cakap la kan, especially pada the queue jumpers. Macam la dia sorang jer yang bergegas balik nak berbuka. Kita yang dok wait in the line ni buat apa la agaknya ek? Saja suka-suka eh?

Anyway, by the time Jade dah park kereta kat Taman Bahagia, housemate Jade dah abis soping juadah berbuka. Colleague dia ikut sekali, so kene lah dia temankan dulu. Mmm.. Jade rasa kecik ati la sket mula-mula. Lepas tu ketuk kepala sendiri cakap, ntah aper-aper la Jade nih. Benda kecik pun nak terasa. Ishh.. perut dah lapar, kepala dah masuk angin sikit, nafsu amarah pun menjadi-jadi. Tak patut betul. So, untuk kawal perasaan, Jade pun put a smile on the face. Haaa... senyum lebar-lebar. Nampak orang senyum balik, sejuk hati jadi nyer. Don't belittle the power of smile, yer kawan-kawan.

Jade pun straight la cari dua benda yang Jade dah plan ealier nak makan. Pita kebab dan murtabak tiga segi. Lepas dah dapat dua benda tu, Jade terasa macam nak pusing cari makanan lain. Dalam tiga langkah gitu, tiba-tiba Jade terasa, ish tak mau lah. Tu nafsu makan jer, nanti tak habis. Membazir. So, Jade turned around, mengarah ke Bangsar Village nak cari kurma. Tak lengkap rasanya berbuka without kurma. Pusing kat dalam supermarket dia tu, tak jumpa pula yang menarik. So I made my way to TMC, kat situ pun kurma yang sama juga dijual.

So, Jade ambik jer la satu pek kurma Mariami, and pi la kat kaunter nak bayar. Tanya pada cashier tuh, ini saja ke selection kurma yang ada. Dia kata kalau nak yang fresh ada kat the other end. So, Jade pun tinggalakan kaunter tu sekejap and pegi tengok apa yang ada. Akhirnya terjumpa la kurma yang Jade dok cari-cari. Kurma Bam Iran. Kurma ni la yang Abah beli kat rumah. Jade pun cekup satu pek pegi balik kat kaunter and pegi bayar.

Sampai kat rumah, tak sabar la pulak nak berbuka. He he he.. Tak sabar nak makan kurma tu sebenarnya. Later that night, Jade buat nasi goreng. Apa yang ada dalam fridge tu la Jade campak masuk dalam kuali.

Remember not too long ago, I said something about wanting to read this. Last night HBO showed the movie. It was... stupid actually. Although the people involved are big names today. Jack Nicholson, Susan Sarandon (I love her and Julia Roberts in Stepmom), Cher and Michelle Pfeifer. They were still young those day. Mr Nicholson was half the size he is today, while Cher looked more human than today. Susan and Michelle, I guess, they age beautifully.

I guess my friend is right. I want things to move fast for me. I do not pace myself and lose the moment. I fail to enjoy the moment. So, I'm tring to slow down now. Because so far, nothing is going my way anyway. Therefore, slowing down might be the answer. I believe I can fly, but the moment will come when I'm ready for it. Not when I want to. :-)
