see right through me.

there is an old lady down at the bishan mrt station who sells packets of tissue. they go at a dollar for three packs. which although, is no bargain, is reasonable. i have had not much need to buy tissue however, and i will confess i have never bought from her.

recently though, i have noticed that she has had her hair done. and no, it is not just a new cut to suit the hot weather in singapore. she has had it dyed black, quite a drastic change from the grey-white hair she used to sport. she has also permed it. this gave me cause to wonder why she needs to sell tissue at a train station, when she can afford to dye her hair a nice black and have a new perm too. maybe she decided to splurge a little of her CPF on this. i found this exceedingly amusing. every woman needs a little pampering of course.

when i pointed this out to martina, she noticed this particular lady had lost alot of weight too. could it be she starved herself to get that new [hair]do she wanted for so long? or, has she been visiting those slimming spas?

just my innocent ramblings i guess. i had something important to talk about just now on my mind, but i must have forgot.
