Mee Kolok

So I woke up 'early' today at 830am to go with my dad to pick the Prado up from the workshop. As I was driving the Myvi home, I suddenly felt hungry and started craving for mee kolok =p which is weird because I don't usually take breakfast so early (..for me anytime before 1030am is early lol) let alone crave for such a heavy one. I had actually already turned in to Lutong Bazaar and was going to buy from Lutong Cafe (which if I'm not mistaken is famous for its nice and cheap mee kolok) when it started raining and people starting packing inside. Drove off, and went to Lutong Baru instead to look around. There was this shop at the corner which I haven't been to in a very long time. Never really liked going there because I thought the taukenio looked garang. haha. So anyway, I ordered from her tapau and took a seat.

She was sitting at the table beside talking to this lady with all these small pieces of paper that looked like gospel tracks to me. I sat there and eavesdropped a bit... and yes, they were gospel tracks because in her super broken bm and english, she was sharing about Jesus Christ to this woman. And I couldn't help but listen, because it was interesting to hear who Jesus was to her. She was telling stories about how God would be in her everyday life even when she buys vegetables early in the morning to take to her cafe, and how she would pray for God to show his glory even when she walks around the food market. Aiyah, it was all very the interesting la, to hear how God works in another Christian's life which is totally different from mine and most people I know. Which made me think as well, when was the last time I shared the gospel to someone? The taukenio was telling the other lady in her very cute (and loud) high-pitched lunch-lady voice, "....because you know Jesus is already so kind to us kan, buat apa sometimes orang mau kasi simpan diam2. He so good to us mah, so we must tell people la". Those were her exact words btw! Haha. Simple but powferful quote, no?

When my mee kolok finally arrived, I really didn't feel like leaving, I wanted to stay, order a hot milo and listen more. Dah the whether cun. Haha. But yeah, then who would cook lunch and clean the house before the family come home right? Deh. But wenihoo, I got the feeling that maybe I was meant to be there that day, cause yeah... mee kolok for breakfast.. I never thought it was a good thing to do. Haha.
