the impatient obasan

it's always interesting to observe the strange habits of obasans...

last week i had the opportunity to get something from old chang kee at kembangan mrt. 1 lady manning the counter, 1 frying, 1 manager in the office, and 1 on the phone for the entire 10 minutes i was stuck there.

the obasan in front of me, took a really long time deciding what she wanted, so i just stood there waiting for my turn. then in comes another obasan, one look at me, and then she promptly announces she wants 3 sardine puffs. no acknowledgement from the swamped and at this point in time, rather irritated counter lady.

to make things worse, the obasan in front of me, upon noticing that the packed of nasi lemask she chose didn't have enough peanuts/ikan bilis, very deftly swapped it for another box...

the obasan behind repeated her order a total of 3 times, before the lady behind the counter in exasperation curtly told her okay, wait.

eventually i got my items and left the shop.. rather bemused at the entire situation. never ever underestimate the obasan.

on a separate note, just kenna summon today. $&#@*$@#*$#. yellow lots in cbd need coupons till 5pm on SUNDAYS. pffft. only good thing to come out from that is the booking made at dynasty travel. ;)
