577. Facial Mask.

pocketeers,
I once let myself fall to the era
of poverty to the extend of
counting every syiling daily ensuring
all of them does not fall off my pocket,
Cause missing 50cents will cause me
a day's sarapan...
or the dinner will only be...
nasik gawat without teh o ais.
Wanna blame it on the ladies in my life,
but I know it was me who choose to got
involved with more then one.

I have a 'Cheap' buddy then, his name was Farid...
We use to talk about how to save and cutting cost.
We came out with a lot of ideas,
some of them was too stupid...
some u'd think just might work.
Theories like water let drip once per second
does not accounted for in your bills,
So let it drip tonight..
and u can have water to drink tomorrow.
The investment in rechargeable battery
and charge them in the office just so
that I can use the battery powered
'Baby-Fan' to sleep at night.
But most of all, the information on where
to buy dirt-cheap pants, singlet or socks,
food like meat and chicken... or a stall
that sells nasik gawat.
(It was nasik puteh, telur goreng,
sup kosong and teh o ais for RM2)

We use to give each other's info,
we never went together, but we know,
that the info was well used for.
(u can see both of our pants
was from the same model)

But that was 3 years ago,
back then when we were ....'less'
I met Farid on Sunday, it was a gathering,
we were talking with a few other friends,
I didnt realize it when I blurted out about
a local shopping mall was selling jeans
for RM15 and that I bought 3 of them today,
I even showed it in front of the others
the one that I was wearing.
Everybody laughed thinking that it was a joke,
Farid just looked away, bitterly smiling...
'oohh ya ka?'

I guess people are wearing mask all the time,
and I have to wear one too, whenever I am with
buddies, people from the office or their husband,
atleast put on a decent mask will U?

Decent enough to talk about how I
test drive a Grand Livina 1.6MT today,
Decent enough to talk about
decoration on the tangga rumah,
(kalau rumah setingkat atau
rumah flat, tak leh sembang woo!!)
Decent enough to talk about
an oversea trip planned next year.
Decent enough NOT TO TALK about
where to buy udang RM14 sekilo,
or cheap cheap local beef and
of course... cheap cheap Jeans.



Cause not all are proud to show
their real face in public.
Not all...
