Just like Shaz<\/a>, I can claim that my dad works for the government. Well, he used to. He is now a pensioner.<\/p>\n

Imagine the shock I got when I got home, and my mom told me I wouldn’t get free medical treatment anymore. (Not like we got to use it on my funky excema…) Firstly they spelled my name wrong (nobody<\/b> has ever misspelt my name in official documents before!) and secondly, even if they did fix it, I’d have until the 18th to get it free.<\/p>\n

On a side note, Friday’s outings gave me a lot of things to think about. One friend was ready to bust out her dad’s pension money! Eep.<\/p>\n

After that, another friend tried sunglasses at Petaling Street<\/b>. The saleswoman quoted RM25. “Errr…<\/i>” “How much you want?<\/i>” “RM20 can ar?<\/i>”<\/p>\n

I said, “I was gonna say RM15 but nevermind.<\/i>”<\/p>\n

The lady left it at RM20.<\/p>\n

She looking in the mirror, repeating, “Does this look nice ah?<\/i>” I didn’t know what to say! I got the hint that she wanted me to somehow lower the price, but I didn’t know how to, unlike Sara<\/a>. If I said it wasn’t nice, she wouldn’t have bought it; if I said it was nice, how would we lower the price?<\/p>\n

And so, she awkwardly handed RM20 to the saleswoman. My now-more-fashionable-friend and I walked awkwardly away.<\/p>\n

“Aiyah, can get for RM15 lah.<\/i>”
\n“Dunno lah, shy lah… kesian the lady.<\/i>”
\n“Yeah, I think it was her English. Did you hear her English? It was excellent!<\/i>”
\n“Oh yealah maybe that’s why… her English was excellent lah.<\/i>”<\/p>\n

As we passed by shops selling sunglasses for RM15 and RM10, she went, “Aiyoh, so wasted lah…<\/i>” “What, you only paid twice the price what.<\/i>”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
