Replay.
Today, I was at the hairdresser's, succumbing to my half-yearly bout of vanity.
NO. Actually I'm not vain. I just want to look neat.
You should know how cui 本小姐's hair is.
I IZ REELLY HAB NO CHOYZ MAHHH!
Ok, seriously, whatever.
Apart from reading my demon slayer fiction 'Darkness Calls', I snooped on some of the conversations between my hairdresser and her customers.
There was this 50+ auntie who asked about the hairdresser's ex-maid.
"Your maid ownself asked to leave? Who bought her air-ticket?"
My hairdresser replied as she was doing my hair, "Her lah. She asked to leave what."
The auntie went on to report on a whole load of things that happened, mostly about how blissful she is, living in the bungalow his son recently bought and blahblah before she paused and suddenly asked,
"SO YOUR MAID'S AIR-TICKET WHO BUY HUH?"
I couldn't help it so I laughed, but softly. Cannot be mean to old people lah I'mSoNice.
So I concluded that in this ever-changing world, everybody is eager to know the latest updates.
Like, youngsters are always asking the same kind of questions about the latest games, gadgets, anything to do with technology.
Old folks like that auntie whom I met repeat the same question under 10 minutes. You know what this shows? That they're still passionate about life, not because their memory is bad/they are naggy, ok? OKAY.
It's all about perspective. If being sympathetic means looking at things in a warped way sometimes, then do that, especially if it's for people whom you don't want to hurt the feelings of.
The next time my Pa/Ma asks the same question for the umpteenth time, I'm going to repeat my answer with the sweetest smile possible and NOT roll my eyes after that.
Sounds sadistic already.
Ok bye.
