Just as I thought I was going to be droned to sleep by the constant chattering of the two irritating Indian women beside me, an old lady in her late 50s got into the cabin. Her face all wrinkled with age and her hands gnawed and twisted, she was carrying 3 Cold Storage plastic bags. Suddenly awake, I couldn’t help staring at her, even the string of what sounds like profanity to my ears had stopped beside me.
Before you yawn and think that I’m one of those people who do not like the elderly and have taken to joke about them in exaggeration. Please, do not think twice on reading on for I’m about to introduce a walking fashion disaster who probably thinks that she had just walked out of Vogue magazine, feeling glamorous and sexy.
Wearing a long red cheong sum dress with a slit from her ankle right up to her thigh, revealing a pair of legs draped in black stockings, one would think that she’s, perhaps, working at some cheena nightclubs. Except, she looks so… totally unattractive and undesirable that one will quickly brush that thought away.
Our Miss Pageant wannabe, had her short cropped gold hair swept behind on both sides with gel and her fringe raised in spikes and colored in pink and green. She had her saggy skin of her upper eyelid shadowed in gold and lined in black. Two pastel color of dark pink smacked on both sides of her cheeks looked like the pink printing on the skin of chunks of uncooked pork we sometimes see in the market. Her lips, the exact kind of pattern Jack Neo had improvised when acting as Liang Po Po, was in dark blood red. Yes, go on and imagine dark blood red on those sagging skin.
By now you might have an image of this beautiful old lady in mind, imagining how you will die of heart attack should you happen to see her in dark alleys. Ha.
Still, I would like to go on telling you how much this old lady had left a deep impression on me. Like dressing like something that was left behind from the last lunar month of July is not enough, Miss-I-Think-I-Look-Like-Gong-Li here, took a seat opposite me. She then took off her red 3inches platform shoes, revealing ugly toes sticking through the holes of her stockings, and stretched her legs outright in front of her and gave a loud, wide yawn that flared her nostrils and bared her blacken and crooked teeth for all to see. I swear I kind of smelt the stink of rotten garbage just when she opened her mouth. Must have been coincident, I guess.
By now, if I had been with my group of loud, crazy and ignorant friends, we would have been sniggering our heads off. But since I was alone, I didn’t want to be mistaken for a lunatic laughing to myself in trains. So I bent my head as loud as possible and hid a suppressed laugh.
Recalling this incident at home always had me in fits of laughter, and I went on wondering how the grandchildren of this special old lady would feel if they had seen her in public, that way. And I thought of my grandma who would never be persuaded to even go to the void decks of her house if she had not worn her bra and changed into long pants and a nicer looking blouse.
My, am I proud of my dearest grandma!
