The Reading Glass

.
Rather busy in the office this morning, now that auditing period has started. Berselerak files on the table, on the floor, on the lap.....he,he,he....

Suddenly,.... kelepark....
Alamak, a file dropped on my spectacles, my reading spectacles!!!!
Habis lah hari ni, macam mana nak baca blog!!!!...kah,kah,kah...

I walked to the optician located at the end of my office block.

mama: Hi, I want to purchase a reading glass.
mr.ng: Why do you need a reading glass?
mama: To read!!! (of course).
mr.ng: Reading glass is only for a slightly aged lady, do you need one?
mama:.....(eh, optician ni, does he need a pair of spectacles as well? Tak nampak ker aku dah rabun jauh and rabun dekat nih?)....
Yes, I badly need one, I can't view my computer screen anymore!!
mr.ng: How old are you? 25?
mama: 50 LAH!!
mr.ng: ...(purak2 terperanjat!!)..

After testing my eyesight, I decided on a lightweight, rimless, titanium Gucci frame.

mama: Make sure it's ready by lunchtime, OK?!?
mr.ng: OK, but let me measure your iris to enable me to place your focal point.

mr.ng used that magnifying glass and looked closely at my eyes, again and again.
mama:....(apasal lagi ni? Aku ada cataract pulak ker?)...
mr.ng: You've got a hazel coloured iris! It's so rare and beautiful!

mama: ...(Eih, sudah2 lah memuji tu, dah beli Gucci frame pun!, By the way, it helps if only mr.ng at least resembles Richard Gere!) .....

Good try, mr.ng! I know it's hard to do business nowadays....
It's true. Even the infamous AP Kings are cringing in their Versace underpants this morning, after the guidelines on the long-awaited New Automotive Policy was released last night!

How do you know, you asked?
I know. I should know!!!
