15.11.11. at around 2p.m.
Before my mandarin essay part exam.
Visited the loo as usual.
however, there was the 'cleaning in progress' board.
so i waited outside the toilet, and asked the auntie
whether i could use the toilet.
she saw my spotless sandals and said:
why not, your shoes very clean mah.
some people ah, they come in with dirty shoes,
then my boss will scold me
because he will think that i didn't do my work.
This place ah, one other auntie cleans.
a 50 year-old auntie. but she has problems.
i, even though i'm 55 years old, am still very healthy.
because i eat traditional food.
same like my mother and sister.
'' food for healthiness, healthiness for food. ''
she's a singaporean citizen who married a malaysian,
when she was 21 years old. she has a 36-year-old son
and a 14-year-old granddaughter.
according to her, people should get married early
so that the latter part of their lives would be,
less burdensome.
most of her sisters are married to indians. from india ah.
she's in charge of her cleaning team over here,
and greets her people with a smile.
(so that there are less mistakes made by them)
others to her: wah, wajah berseri hari ini! :)
she says that if she has a problem,
she solves it that day itself,
and that's the secret to her happiness.
some time later, i told her that i had to leave.
my exam was starting soon.
she told me to eat lots of bendi= ladies finger,
and pray to krishna? o.0?
i was like: auntie, shouldn't it be saraswathy ah? XD
after my exam, i went to get some food from the canteen.
guess what?
i actually listened to her, and got myself some bendi. haha.
