Orchard Road mamasan - Sunday, June 05, 2005 at 9:27 AM |
Went to watch Hitchhiker's Guide 2 The Galaxy and i give it a....6.5/10. Pretty alright, dun see the big deal and hype about it... so, there. That's all i got to say about the movie.
Anyway, while i was walking back from Cine to the 14 bus-stop near Rouge, i spotted this old "tai tai", in a gawdy pink spaghetti-strap top, black skirt bordered with shiny frilly things, a shawl across her neck and with really heavy make-up sitting on a stone bench outside the DUCK & HIPPO tours building. (Before i go further, in my defense, i really can't remember what she was wearing exactly. I'm really making up part of her outfit. It's for story-telling purposes. I wasn't staring at her so intensely that the image of her and what she was wearing still burns in my mind right now. Really.)
ANYWAY, as i walked by her, i made a mistake. I made eye contact with her, and no, sparks didn't fly, flowers didn't start blooming, the world didn't stop turning and all that nonsense... we just made eye contact. Nothing else to it. Period.
As I was saying, i made eye contact with her, and immediately, with her sensor-like reflexes, she immediately said "Young man, I'm selling young ladies..."
So, i looked around, and everywhere was deserted. If there were no young ladies around... i was just picturing her unwrapping her shawl to unveal young ladies in the inner layer of her shawl. If you dun get wat i mean, picture a drug dealer showing his customer his goods stashed in the inner pockets of his trench coat.
My reaction? I continued walking and pretended nothing happened. I was rather taken by surprised.... that came out from nowhere. Either this, or that "tai tai" was a basketcase.
And for all you know, if anyone does "buy" a young lady from her, that poor sod could very well be led into the dark alley of emerald hills and be.. ermm... forced on.
Mamasans in Orchard Road? Maybe in Orchard Towers.... but right smack in the heart of Orchard Road?
Next thing you noe, they'll start going from door-to-door. Moral degradation has arrived in our country pple. First the casinos, now this. Even my once frenly neighbourhood road in joo chiat is now infested with illegal China immigrant prostitutes.
Oh well.... there's a lesson to be learnt here... so listen up.
If the mamasan think's i'm old enuff to be a customer, i guess i should be happy at least someone out there thinks i'm as old as i should look right?
Which is 21 years old of course, not 16, if you didn't know by now. -
