While on my way to meet my friend at McD, I spotted the man who gave me many wonderful memories. Then I decided to detour and went to him *sorry friend for being a bit late*
I wanted to re-live my memory. I wanted to know where he has been all these years. I also wanted to ask if he still remembers me.
I was chasing behind him under the hot sun like a stalker. When I was finally close enough to him, I yelled out from behind
'ice cream!'
Just like old times, he stopped and turned around. Yes, that's the same man who used to come to my neighbouhood to sell ice cream. He still looks the same, but much much older....
I saw the buns in his basket. Immediately I ordered a 'gu you bao ice cream' (butter bun with ice cream). Unfortunately, all he had that day was roti kosong (plain bun). Aiya! I really wanted to eat that. Since I was going to have McD later, i thought i should save some room for the McD meal.. so I switched my order to ice cream cone. That day's special was yam ice cream! YUMMMMmmm... my favourite yam! *lucky*
It's YAM !
He opened the cooler that is on his bicycle and started digging out a scoop of purple coloured ice cream. I felt like a little kid again, waiting eagerly to receive my ice cream from the ice cream man.
I told him I used to buy ice cream from him when I was a kid and that I haven't seen him for a long time and asked how come he stops coming to my neighbourhood. He didn't say anything. He just smiled.
As soon as I got my ice cream cone, I tasted it. It was yummy! I was in my own world with my childhood memories flashing by. The feeling is just as I have remembered.
I accidentally took a picture of his hand. Time has definitely left a trace. It kinda saddens me. Will I still see him next time?
岁月的痕迹
No matter what happens, he will always be part of my memory... for as long as i live....
