oh... my Marilyn Monroe Bag....

I dunno whether to feel flattered or insulted...

Today, i went to Bangsar, to a bank, just to be told that there was a blackout there. No transaction could be done at all. So i went out, and i saw a typical view outside the bank: a makcik sitting on the floor near the alley, selling all sorts of kerepek.

For the past 7 years, Id never really felt tempted to buy any of her kerepeks........ until today. and i bought THREE! i told myself : azrin, u have nothing to eat tonight and even a few days after. the kerepeks would help.

right after i paid rm 5 to the makcik. She said "Molekkk la beg adik... beli kat mana? berapa??"

and i was like tercengang. Dalam hati : "Biaq betoi makcik ni..."

so i simply replied "murah ja..."

makcik: "berapa??" *beriya2 gila dia nk tau ni*

me: "hrrmm.. about 30-40 ringgit je..."

makcik: "ouhhh" .... smbil angguk2.. "molek2...." *looking as though she's gonna buy it right after she's sold all of her kerepekes*

and i just smiled and left, thinking to myself.... "a freakin 70 year-old granny just complimented my bag... which is full of Marilyn Monroe's half-naked shots!!! "

should i feel flattered that someone complimented my taste?

or should i feel insulted coz my taste is similar to a granny's?

or have i just re-lived her past memories?



wallahualam...

come to think of it, though i dun have that many bags, my last two cheapest brand-less vintage-like bags have received the most attention! hahaha. besides this one, i am known in faculty bahasa as the girl who always carries the Audrey Hepburn bag around campus.

Yerp, they don't know my name, but they know my bag...

Too bad a part of it was torn apart (which was why i bought this Marilyn Monroe's bag..). gotta get it fixed when i returned to Kedah this hols. haihhh.. gotta get my image back... hahahah.. as if i have any...
