You couldnt help but notice this elderly lady I ran into in a big supermarket. I was queuing behind her at the cashier desk. She was quite big for Indonesian women, wearing a long black dress and a veil, quite common. But… gosh, she’s really like a walking jewellery store!
It was the clinking sound which grabbed my attention. Her bracelets. Many bracelets on her two wrists, yellowish gold, sparkling! That’s where the noise came from when she was busy arranging her things. I was waiting patiently behind her when she turned around, FLASH! Her big green shimmering pendant from her long necklace dazzled me. Whoa! Was it a Kryptonite stone? Thank God, I am not Superman!
Then I began to notice her earrings…brightly lit…er… fit her ears. Her glowing glasses… I glimpsed little diamonds scattered on its rim. The colorful-flowery-shaped-brooch on her chest. The gold watch stood out among her bracelets. Then the ring. Wow!
Then I looked at myself… I was wearing some old blue jeans and a T-shirt and nothing more and was trying to recover from the Kryptonite attack! Hahaha…!
