was chatting with my pretty aunty over the weekend.
she had just hit her 40s... (shh... it's a sensitive number). dropped by at crystal jade for brunch; while looking at the menu, she sighed:
" in the recent years... my eyesight is getting bad. i cant even read the tiny prints on the menu"
- "oh auntie... nvm... got picture... u see wat u wan, i order" ( trying to convince that age is not a problem at all)
"hai.... not only my eyesight is getting worse... see.... my wrinkles... [pointing at her pencil lines around her eyes... -she's opening her eyes wide... ] oh... and look! my eyebags! [she bent over her head, pointing her hair with her nicely done manicured finger] white hair! haiz!
- "hurmp.. aunty... exactly how old are u oreadi? " ( i knew by asking this question, i have to take a risk, cos she might blew up and disown this niece.)
" i oreadi past my 40..." (ok... i shan't force her to say the 2nd digit)
-" aunty... ladies who hit their 40s... they receive a special package together wit their age. 4 bigs candles with a birthday cake, plus additonal-increasingly fast growing wrinkles, white hairs and puffy eyebags. come to think of it, it;s quite worth it lei"
*aunty narrowed her eyes.... now i can see even more wrinkles*
" u evil lei u! u better save up more money... next time u need botox!" ( by then, i knew i made her mad)
ops
