pretty vs lazy

tadaa..this morning..i quai quai did sit up 100x ^^ and leave the home at 9 and arrived early at the office.

this morning when i passed by the market-on my way to the bus stop- i heard an auntie speak so loud to an uncle about.. someone who will come to pick up all paper boxes for certain price. she was talking in cantonese, and i thought, how comforting it is to be able to understand what people around you are talking about.

i mean, generally elders here will speaks more hokkian, or in mandarin. or other unknown dialect. or tamil.

then when i got into the bus, two aunties sitting next to where i stand were chatting something in mandarin. then one of them asked the other what's her dialect.

then she said she is guang dong dialect. and the other sounding excitedly replied 'ngo tou hai ar'

then then they start chatting in cantonese, and again i thought, ah, how comforting.

then at last one of them kinda said out that she is already 70+, the other was so surprise. curious, i take a look too. heehee, i know i know, kepoh.

WAH. she was so fashionable! i can't see her wrinkle behind her -glamourous sun-glasses- but she had a nice short perm hair, wearing a nice clothes and matching accessories. in one glance, i would have thought she is on her late 30s!

and on the contrast (totally) the other auntie looks tired and plain. short and kinda thin hair, with just normal t-shirt. well, she was from pasar i see and probably just heading straight back home. but i was really surprise when she said she's around 50. only.

i bet she felt bad when she said that out loud... and the fashionable grandma (70+ leh!) comfort her saying, 'if you doll up yourself you could looks better than me thousand times'

ah.. that's make me think. you know i have heard this, but still it's easily forgotten:

'in this world, there's no ugly female. there's only LAZY female.'

papaaaaa! that's so trueeeeeeeee >o<>o<
