A Familiar Type

This woman gave us a packet of Lim Chee Guan bak kwa. "The gold coins type!" She reminded us that she was giving us good stuff.

Since we don't eat bak kwa, we would have just given the pack away. But we thought we'd first open up and see if it was okay. Luckily we did.

We were horrified to see that the pieces of bak kwa were not even proper pieces. Much less 'gold coins'. They were the leftover charred bits and ends from the main squares.

This is the same rotund woman who at our flat, wants to tapau her half-eaten second plate of biryani and anything else she can lay her eyes on. It is also her who would, along with her sons with voracious eating capacity, eat up all the food on the dining table with nary a thought for the other guests.

At the rate she's waddling, she really should embark on a strict exercise regime. Oh, and at the same time, teach her husband that a cheek-to-cheek greeting is preferred instead of a his-lip-to-my cheek and leaving a trail of drool on each side. I always have to surreptitiously wipe away his saliva after. Eioow.

This is one woman who will shamelessly and blatantly "贪小便宜". She's extremely embarassingly, to say the least.

She's damn one kind lor.

I can't help but chuckle each time I remember how one year at lunch, she took offence at the luxurious napkins we used that depict beautiful Botero fat women.
