sad but true

i have this one funny story to tell. funny but true.
since hubby is in retail, i got all sorts of unbelievable stories regarding customers. this is d latest that ive got. a very old customer decided to ask for for a free gift. printed on a bottle of a cooking oil; FREE CHOLESTEROL. and that's exactly what d old man wanted. free cholesterol. funny eh? but true. and i thot such bizarre stories didnt exist.
ignorance is one thing. but to stoop so low? to d old man, pride = nil.
my, my.

i juz got back from a family day outing organized by rania's kindy. the main objective was to get to know each other basically. plus to mingle with other parents. yeah, we had games, and we had fun. but did we mingle? definitely not. i dont blame anybody. even i cant bring myself to go and say hi to other parents. tried to smile to some though but the moment our eyes met, they glanced away. i wonder why. gotta ask myself that question too. have we turned too individualistic? since when?
but then again, knowing me, i like to obesrve ppl to d extend of overdoing it at times. some parents, esp d male, tried too hard to look good. u know, like when u hafta run to pass d ball, they wud walk ala macho-style. it was like, hey ppl, look at me, dont u juz wish im urs? u know, dat kinda stuff. jejaka perasan. while actually, to tell u d truth, some of them reminds me of orang asli. no kidding. i mean, yeah u can show off to ppl ur E90 or ur E60 but hey, who r u kidding eh?
