While in Kuala Lumpur, I live in TTDI. We used to go to this particular Coffee Shop call 'Restaurant OK'. Few years ago, in this coffee shop, there is this stall who sells wantan mee by a couple in their early 50s.
However, the man will usually do the cooking, while the wife will take orders and prepare the nitty gritty. Often, you will see the man will be emotionless, while the lady is usually pretty grumpy. When you put an order, she will either tell you we only opened at 9.30am sharp, or 'you have to wait it will take a while'. The comments made me at least felt very negative and I wonder why would I give them the business. However, I have to admit, their Wantan mee is one of the better one.
To cut the story short, both couple hardly communicate when together, and never smile. They are just doing what they need to do. Few years later, I found the old lady has passed away, which was rather sad. Not long after that or rather today, the man has a new companion with him. She was a younger looking lady, and doing the same chores as the previous old lady. However, the two of them often smiles at each other. The man was so happy looking. He dished out his wantan mee with speed and full of life. While the new woman, will smile at her customers.
The whole scene has changed, and I feel love is in the air!!! How funny, life can be. A twist in your life can make so much changes. However, for this wantan mee seller, it's changes for better ...
