Saturday, October 28, 2006 Shopping Is Tough. ♥ 7:44 PM
Today was one of my most humiliating days in my LIFE!
While Asy and I was ordering food at KFC today, I was humiliated to the MAXIMO!
Sabela: Hello there little girl. What do you want to order? Yours Truly: *Recited my order* Sabela: Would you like to join the Chicky Club? Yours Truly: Huh? Really ah? Can ah? (I was really taken aback. I SWEAR.) Sabela: Yes yes. I, from Team KFC, never lie. (She actually had her hand across her heart as though she was saying the pledge.) Yours Truly: It's okay. My brother is a member. Sabela: You can join too! Yours Truly: No, no. It's really fine.
So that was the first humiliating thing she asked me. She took a long time to register my order and she talks more than she walks.
So while I was taking out the money to pay her, I got humiliated a second time.
Sabela: Are you paying? Isn't he going to pay for you? *Points to Asy* Yours Truly: No, no. He's my brother, not my boyfriend. Sabela: Ya. Shouldn't he be paying? Yours Truly: He's my younger brother. (I was already cursing her under my breath) Sabela: Really? I thought he's like, seventeen. Yours Truly: And how old did you think I was? Sabela: Twelve? Yours Truly: Really? I'm not twelve you know. *Pretends to laugh*
I SURE FEEL LIKE PETER PAN NOW, THANK YOU! I WANT TO STAY FIFTEEN FOREVER, NOT STINKING TWELVE!
Sabela: How old do you think I am? Yours Truly: Eighteen? Sabela: No lah. I'm thirty. I am married with two kids. Yours Truly: Really? You look young. (She had a big behind, you see. And her breasts were big and sagging. I thought they were the result of childbirth.) Sabela: Yes. My kids are about your age. In secondary school already! Yours Truly: Nice. Sabela: How old are you, really? Fifteen? Yours Truly: Sixteen. Sabela: Eh! Me too. Yours Truly: Good joke. Sabela: I'm sorry. I forgot your order. Let me recall.
Nice one! The woman behind me was cursing under her breath too. What a girl.
As if that was not enough, I met a crazy woman at the taxi stand. Who treats her dog like her child. When I smiled upon seeing her with her dog(I thought she was a dog lover), she initially smiled at me. I was after her in the queue. Probably out of boredom, she turned to me and started talking. She actually asked the dog to address me as 'JieJie' (the way most parents ask their child to address a smiling stranger who displayed ineterest in their child) and she kept talking about IT to the people around her.
Speaking of that, I think I accidentally paid the guy at Royal Sporting House with a RM5 and I think he didn't realise it. If not, I must have paid it to someone else. I opened my wallet to realise that the RM5 that I had was gone. And I remember taking out many green notes today. JUST THEIR LUCK, HAHA.
I wanted to shop for slippers, clutches, shirts and jeans but I ended up buying nothing for myself. Not a single item. I ended up buying my Dad two shirts, a handbag for my Mum and I ended up offering to pay for my borther's Puma sneakers. I hope he pays me back. No, wait. HE BETTER.
It's funny how I'm always the one with the longest list of things to buy everytime we go out, but ends up being the one with the least number of purchases.
Take for example our last trip to JB. I had many things in mind to buy, but in the end it was Asy who bought flip-flops, two jerseys and a Diesel shirt. I really wanted to buy just anything, but I really couldn't find anything nice enough to buy. Compass Point and JB suck so bad. Even so, the last time I went around Bugis to look for clothes with Izad, I ended up going home with nothing, without a good buy, without any bloody purchase.
I keep going for retail therapy without getting myself feeling therapeutic with a good purchase!!!!!
I SUCK SO BAD.
I shall call Kak Nad up(since her exams are over, yay!) and spend more time with this amazing prodigy in an attempt to get her to transfer to me some of her magical powers. She has this special ability to go into any shop and walk out with a flatter purse. Sometimes her ATM card just shrinks. She's an item-lover. She falls in love with almost everything she sees. In nicer terms, she looks at the racks of clothes and spread of accessories and feels such great pity for them that she decides to adopt them and show them some love, only to leave them abandoned in her closet, because she has too many of them to give them the adequate love that they needed. Such a caring girl, don't you think.
To put it harshly, SHE'S A SPENDTHRIFT WHO CANNOT SAVE!
I WANT TO SHOP UNTIL I DROP AND THEN SHOP SOME MORE. OH! There was this sale at some CD shop, and there was this particular Korean Drama Series that had RAIN as one of its lead actors. RAIN!! IT WAS GOING FOR TEN DOLLARS OMG! But it had no English subtittles. So I could not buy it. Otherwise, only my Mum would understand it.
Probably, the reason why my mother and I cannot get along is because she's Mandarin-educated and I do not speak Mandarin. Her Malay sucks. REALLY. Sorry to say it, but she can hardly spell in simple Malay.
The Raya people. The same batch of people last year.
From left to right.
Second Row: Izzudin, Faris, Rafie, Khalis and Idris.
First Row(seated): Shazdad, Mirul, Nana, YT, Raudha, Hyqel & Tasha.
I'm finally getting the format of formal class photos right, eh? NYAHAHAHA I'M SUCH A LOSER.
For the second half of the Raya outing, I have no pictures because Izad hasn't sent me any. But it was a great day well spent with both my beloved girlfriends and my bff.
Happy 25th month!
