Kepochi


I was on half day leave Friday 27May as I wanted to go to this Estee Lauder sale at menara Tan & Tan. Unfortunately, when I reached at menara Tan & Tan, queue macam ular kena palu, berlengkok-lengkok. Decided to cancel my intention, I went to Isetan in KLCC instead....


When my only intention is "shopping for window" - I got bored easily - then I started looking at people around me - be it alone or with family and friends. Normally the kepochi inside me wonder further on what these people do for a living, age, their relationship between a person with the companion ..... why is she looking angry/happy etc.

Sometimes I will end up having a short story about the people. If I have my imagination buddy around - my hubby that is, he will tend to spice up my stories. It is nothing personal. I know it is wrong to be judgemental - but I guess most people tend to give some "ratings" when you first met somebody. Then again "rating" is not the most appropriate word. I hope you get what I mean. Previously, when I interviewed people, I'll have to look beyond the words uttered, thus looking at body language is important.

Scene 1:
A couple - very pretty young lady about 24years of age, slender looking walking hand in hand with a man about 15 years older than her looking for anniversary present among those silver ware.
The way they touch - yes they are couple indeed. Married? No... Present for? Either for one of their parents or at least relatives. They have been seeing each other for almost 2 years and getting married soon. The verdict: Mana ada verdict, ni cerita aku je......

Scene 2: A petite young lady wearing jeans, white t-shirt, Guess handbag (lambang Guess dia besar wo!) waiting restlessly outside Isetan. Looks like a student by profession, coming from a rich family, and is waiting for her boyfriend who is running late. The verdict: 80% confirm that she is a student.... (while waiting a boy came out from the backseat of a merc - apparently they r friends and they do 'the handshake' that normally done by teenagers.) Later a Hyundai Coupe show up and the girl went in...."

Scene 3: A chineese lady and an elderly indian lady at the baby's section. The elderly Indian must be the Chineese lady's MIL. Why? Chineese lady got red spot on her forehead. (It is called nandek if I'm not mistaken - correct me if I'm wrong). Later they were joined by an Indian man with a baby...... Err... I guess this one is a jackpot.

I've created more drastic, tragic & unbelievable stories sometimes but tak sesuai le nak tulih kat sini. That is why, normally I won't realised that I berlaga bahu ngan friends because I was busy watching my surroundings...

So next time kalau terjumpa I'm wondering tu, you know what I'm doing ;)
