mom, "Got earthquake leh."
me, "Huh? How come everyday got earthquake? Where is it?" (Everyday is a figure of speech, to indicate everytime)
mom, "Toa Payoh"
me, doink.
I would have accepted "Earth" as some kind of corny reply, but.. earthquake in Toa Payoh?
Earlier, i went for a jog. I entered the lift to find babe watch radar buzzing. There was a babe inside, together with her hubby (boyfriend) and parents (in law). So this girl was telling the her parents (in law), "So this meal i treat ah, cheap one i treat, next time expensive one u all treat." The lift was nearing first (ground) floor, so i decided peek at her. Well.. she caught me peeking at her and without skipping a beat, she said, "You not included.", doink.
Even much earlier today, i went to Ang Mo Kio for lunch, was at the hawker center. I ordered a plate of char kway teow then took a seat. I then realised that i hadn't got any tissue paper with me.
Then there was this auntie in a wheel chair selling tissue. Maybe she didn't remember me, 'coz just the day before, i didn't want to buy tissue from her. Anyway, i bought tissue from her which cost one dollar for two packets. What the... i thought the usual price was three packets for one dollar. And as i was wiping my mouth, i was thinking, "hey that means it is five cents per piece of tissue."
And then i remember Dancing Kid's words. She says she buys tissue from old aunties, for good karma and stuff. Aside from the fact that many of these old aunties are operating under a syndicate, and the aunties usually donate the profits to singapore pools.. come to think of it, the money still ends up in charity. In a sort of way that is..
But this auntie seemed genuine enough, coz i don't think there are that many aunties who amputate their leg to sell tissue. So i guess the dollar could be classified as a donation. Whew, my first donation in so many years...
