Treasure Hunt

I'm not referring to the NBT treasure hunt here, but a hunt for a ripe MR. Thorn. Believe it or not I went to more than 10 shops yesterday looking for it. The hunt kick start at Supa Save Beribi but only two pieces of Mr Thorn available and both not in a 'well' condition.

Then I decided to stop by HH TB on the way back home, but none were ripe. So I drive to HH Sengkurong and same fate meets me there. Since SKH was nearby I give it a visit. NO Mr Thorn was in sight. So I asked my younger sister (who was unfortunate enough to get roped into the hunt but I reward her with a chocolate crepes and Koko Berry drink) to call my other sister where we can get Mr Thorn. Hence, our hunt leads to Kiulap area. First stop was HH follow by the Mall then Hotmart. Still no luck.

By this time i was beaten but not broken. My next attempt is HH yayasan. Again the result was the same. No RIPE Mr Thorn. Our next stop was Supa Save Mabohai. Guess what, NO RIPE MR THORN either!!

By this time my patient already runs thin. But I said to myself, what the heck, jauh2 sudah drive trus tah ke delima. I went HH Manggis, of course same result as well. Since I'm in that area, I give a visit to HH Delima and Teguh Raya. But no luck either. On the way back home I stopped at Soon Lee Batu Bersurat. And then we swing by HH Gadong.

As usual I stayed in the car as my sister dash inside. This time I receive a different news as she enter the car. There are 3 Mr Thorn inside. 2 were still a bit raw and 1 of them seems ripe enough. I quickly find a parking spot and try not to run going inside. However, my flaming hope were doused with cold water. As I inspect Mr Thorn, it turns out not all the 'golden flesh' were tender enough. I was disappointed.

My sister told me that "At least it is 'sort-of' ripe already"
So I said to my sister, "If I buy it now, sure it will fulfilled me but it wont satisfied me"

There are things in life that you cannot rush. Even though you try very hard finding it and crave for it so much, sometimes you just have to wait for a bit longer.



Peace & Save the world so we can enjoy their fruits; xoxo
