Today,my sis,aunt and me(duh)went to a shopping mall i will not identify(so as not to provoke any negative feelings).There was this clothes sale at the basement.But they were mostly for LITTLE LITTLE kids.And my aunt wanted to get new year clothes there.(Being kiasu)So obviously,I wasn't best pleased.But some of them weren't as baby as i thought.So we got some.Then,it was my sis' turn(to get clothes,i mean).This whole process was so damned boring,i was ready to fall asleep.(highlight it)At long last,we went off(THANK GOD.Or I'd still be there.)to have lunch.After lunch,back to that sale.So i almost died.I was so bored that i went to buy bubble tea.For my sis too.ATTENTION,PPL WHO HAVE BEEN READING THIS WHILE HALF-ASLEEP.My aunt had to go buy takeaway for my couz.I went to the washroom.Cos i was so so so bored.When i came out,there were my aunt and sis,AT THAT BLASTED SALE AGAIN.But seeing as my aunt was carrying 2 bulging bags of food(for my uncle too),i very kindly offered to carry one.Then,cos' i had been holding my bubble tea by the cup,not by the plastic bag handles,I JETTED THE CLOTHES WITH JASMINE-FLAVOURED PEARL MILK TEA.(Not that i minded-i strongly disbelieve that anyone in their right mind would buy them in the 1st place.)Then,the salesperson(a woman in her sixties)was all(in chinese)"How to sell?U see lah,what are u going to do?How to sell?U tell me lah,how to sell?"I offered tissue paper(cos' the tea had stained one small stack of clothes)and the good lady totally ignored me.So that she could continue raving.The thing is ,people,my milk tea was sort of cream in colour(same as the clothes).And milk tea is easily washed(I know that from experience).The marvellous woman ,probably to show the extent of the damage,took out the stack of clothes.Which dripped milk tea on the floor.(I realized that the clothes had hardly absorbed any tea.)So i offered tissue again.This time cos' i knew the damage was minimal.That godly auntie didn't even look at me.Until the cashier came.By the look on her face,i could see that she was expecting ME to buy up the clothes and maybe even the rack where the clothes were put.(My aunt had spent almost half a hundred $$$ on the clothes.)So the cashier said,"Aiya,never mind lah.That time Ah Hong also dieo(means got in Hokkien)before,go toilet wash can le..."Seeing as the coast was clear,we fled(duh).As we went off,my sis heard the expressive "fairy godmother" say,"See lah,they go liao...Never even help."(in hokkien)Based on that,I could safely conclude that 1.The salesperson was faking the seriousness of the matter.2.She was angry at the cashier for letting this "money-squeezing opportunity" fly past under her big nose.3.Because no one would buy the clothes.4.I won't go there again unless they threatened me with confiscating my Harry Potter Book 7(Deathly Hallows)Well,even if she'd wanted me to pay up,i had only $1.20 in my pocket(i wanted to spend finish the $$$ in my wallet)Id've been happy to pay that and help to clean up.But she...Never mind.In any case,she should've compensated ME.1/4 of my cup of bubble tea went on those clothes.So that'll be $0.50,please.
