Thank you, Mr Brolly

Moi needs to work over time tonight to clear a mountain of stuff. At 6 plus, I looked out of the window and it's drizzling. The rain seems harmless enough so I thought I would just get going and grab dinner for the long night.

But as I walked from my office to Lau Pat Sat, I discovered the rain was actually not very "small". Being as lazy as a pig, I was too lazy to walk back to office to get my umbrella so I went walking in the rain and gotten myself quite drenched. I felt really silly and all the people must be wondering what's with this silly girl walking in such a rain. *SULK* BUT Mr Brolly came along and offered to share his umbrella with me. Isn't he SWEET!!?? ;-) He kindly sheltered me to my destination. In that few minutes of sharing his umbrella, we talked.

Mr Brolly : Wanna come under?

Me : Under? Umbrella? Thanks. *walked over awkwardly. So malu.*

Mr Brolly : The rain seems small but one can get really drench under it.

Me : Yes. That's true. I am. *gave a super malu smile*

Mr Brolly : You walking to?

Me : Oh! Lau Pat Sat. You can just drop me at the junction.

Mr Brolly : No worries. It's ok.

Me : Thanks. So you going for dinner?

Mr Brolly : Ya. Having class later so taking a quick bite.

We were approaching Lau Pat Sat and in my midst not to "touch" Mr Brolly, I landed my whole LEFT foot in a BIG PUDDLE of water. :-(

We went separate ways and I went to tabao my favourite Fish dumpling Hor fun at Lau Pat Sat. This stall sells only Hor fun but it is really nice. Their signature dish is actually their crayfish Hor fun selling at $8.00 but their fish dumpling is just as yummy yummy. The uniqueness lies in the Hor Fun and their gravy. Their Hor fun is very smooth and their gravy is very tasty, a home-made secret recipe containing herbs.

I was not that lucky on my way back from Lau Pat Sat to my office so I got really drenched. I do believe once a while, we will meet a Miss Brolly or Mr Brolly who will kindly give us a shelter and that's really refreshing and warmth as per my posting of my meeting with He. So Boys and Girls, next time when you see someone drenched in the rain, do become Mr or Miss Brolly and offered a shelter hor.
