2018 welcomed me in having to pay for my subsequent semester school fees. A 4-figure sum that could buy me a Chanel classic bag.
Today, you're paying your degree fees.
Tomorrow, you are choosing your favourite Saint
Laurent bag.
Patience Nabilah, hahaha.
I was roaming around Plaza Singapura right from
school. I headed to Cold Storage just to find Acai Berry Pulp frozen pack, only
to find out it wasnt available. Bummer.
And then I was walking down the shopping aisle
and saw '4 Fingers'. To me 4 Fingers serves the best cooked marinated chicken
ever! It triumphs over KFC, Hajah Maimunah and my mom's chicken! You should try
if you havent, and I tell you, u'll get addicted!
Anyway back to my story, as I chanced upon 4
Fingers, my heart wanted to buy chickens for my family. But not too long ago, I
just paid for my hefty school fees and then thought to myself 'Wait for your
next pay, Bil. U have spent so much this month'. I received a whatsapp
notification from Raudhah saying 'Kak Asyura cooked kway teow goreng with
prawns'. I was so delighted and rushed to go home although my heart and
soul in wanting for 4 Fingers still stay intact.
When I reached home, Asyura said to Ismail 'Oh
hor, you finished the food'. In that moment I know my lil brother has just
ate my portion without me asking. At a quick instant, Raudhah came to me and
exclaimed 'Kak, I whipped for you Korean Noodle ok?'
I know Raudhah meant well. Cause normally, when
my siblings finish off my food, the angelic Nabilah will turn into a Monstrous
Nabilah. Very unsightly human creature you'll ever seen.
I enjoyed Raudhah's cooking while scrolling
down my Instagram feed. It dawned on me that Ive improved on my anger and
patience. That was not to shout at Ismail for finishing up my food. Few mins
later, Isa returned home and i heard a loud cheer that went 'OH MY GOD 4
FINGERS!'
That instant, I felt so grateful to Allah.
There are 2 things which
I learnt about myself today.
I
would always flare up if someone eats my food but today I practice
patience (my 2018 resolution?) and I was so calmed when Ismail
finished my food.
The power of spending things for the family.
Rmb, I wanted to buy 4 Fingers for my family, and I had not much left? But then
i consoled myself that they would always be a next time. And then Allah sent
the 4 Fingers through my lil brother , Isa.
I think that's the reward of being patience.
You'll get 4 Fingers. Haha!
