Money Matters Not?

Yesterday night, I had a late dinner with my wife. We went to a small market at Upper Thomson Road and had Chong Pang Nasi Lemak for dinner. As I was very hungry, I ordered a lot of food. I ordered chicken wings, vegetables, tau hu, otah, ikan bilis and peanuts. And we ordered guava fruit juice.

After satisfying my hunger, I wanted to satisfy my craving. I wanted to eat dessert, so I walked over to the dessert stall. The stall lady was back facing me, so I had to call out to her to order. I asked if she had grass jelly dessert. She turned around and told me that she was closed for the day. I was shocked! Closed? Oh no! What was I going to do? I had a craving for dessert at that very moment. So I asked her again. “Is it possible to make one last dessert?” I was trying my luck. The answer was “come back another day”.

I had about $200 dollars with me at that moment. However, I believed that money was not her issue. She was not willing to barge and she wanted to go home. It seemed like money was unable to solve my problem.

Disappointed, I had to crack my puny brain for another location that sold dessert. Unfortunately, the lack of sugar in my brain causes mental block. And I had to do home unsatisfied.
