So I decided to walk to the market from my block after couple of beers for lunch. It was raining but I was craving for this dish for weeks and it’s got limited opening hours.
ok I brace the semi rain and walk to the intersecting slab block, under cover I walk along it once reach the end is a small open air road but it’s not a big issue. But when I hit the end of the block at this corner this old Malay lady immediately signals me to take her umbrella. I was shocked at first but a bit heartfelt at her gesture, and said no need… but she say just take later throw.
So I accepted it. It was a very old umbrella with some roses on it and rusty and all the handle like 60% paint off, spokes not aligning anyway it’s just a very old umbrella maybe 20+ years old minimum. I even turned around to look at her after a few steps and she did the same… couldn’t catch her face in detail cos I wasn’t wearing specs.
Now I’m thinking isit just a simple kind act (which was very cooincidental or maybe even choreographed) or some spooky thing at play??
PS it just happened during this rain.
