return of the maclady [part II]
So.. I was studying at bukit batok Macs again this morning. And who do I bump into? That
strange lady who was eating leftovers again. (let's call her
maclady) Maclady was dressed in the same clothes she was wearing 2 days ago. Her hair tied in a loose ponytail, pink blouse and cheap bathroom slippers. She was carrying the same plastic bag even - this pink flowery bag! As much as I don't like what she does, I gotta admit, she's got good taste in colours eh! *pink rocks*
So maclady got a better loot today. I saw her eating fish mcdippers, hashbrowns, chicken mcnuggets and fries, among other things. Hmm.. I guess you
really can survive on leftovers. I mean, I'd object to eating a stranger's half-eaten burger or whatnots. But things like fries and nuggets, I guess that's alright cos they come in separate pieces.
And I'm sure that most of us, at one point of time or another, have sat down at Macs and noticed a whole packet of unfinished fries. And the temptation to just finish it up, instead of buying a whole new packet is quite great right? I mean, they're only fries. It's just the stigma of eating somebody else's food and not knowing exactly what you might catch from eating unknown stranger's leftovers.
Now me thinks that maclady is either
a)
senile - I saw her reading a newspaper while pretending that she's not on the lookout for people to leave. And she kept muttering to herself. Then occasionally she'd giggle, and smile to herself. I mean, what can you find funny in a newspaper? It's all straight hard boring facts. (ok fine, that's not entirely true, but just humour me will ya?) And these traits are normal traits that you'd find in senile old people. So it could be that she's just senile and thus, is driven to do crazy things like eating people's leftovers. And that could probably explain the same clothes that she was wearing for 3 days (that I know of) already.
OR
b)
extremely smart - hey, if you don't have money and yet, you're able to eat at macs every day, I think you're freaking smart! I salute you man! haha.. and really, instead of letting all those fries and nuggets go to waste, I'd rather she eat it and save another starving soul. These boys from ITE came in and sat at the next table, and I couldn't help but overhear that one of them din have any money. I was so tempted to tell them to follow maclady's example and just eat the leftover fries from another table. But I didn't, of course.
Me thinks that maclady should be featured in the papers. Although of course, that might just disable her from eating the leftovers at macs. Now I'm interested to find out more about this woman. I mean, what exactly drove her to do what she does, what kind of background she comes from and such. Maybe, one of these days, I should go talk to her. Who knows? haha..
(I managed to capture a blur shot of maclady using my camera phone. But I'm having problems uploading it to the computer. Will try and post it up later.)--------------------------------------------------
On another note, us bimbotic girls got an
A for the second part of our IT project. woohooo! Although I think pelly was just being lenient this time round. But oh wells, we got an A!
all that stress and craziness did pay off after all.. haha.. less stress for the final paper tmr. (I'm not even halfway through my revision la, timecheck: only 19 hours left if I don't sleep
*argh panic*)
I got myself the
ultimate ice blended from coffee bean, to help me keep awake in the afternoon. Seriously, this whole IT stuff just puts me to sleep. And when you can't get the real rhumba frappe, I guess this coffee bean substitute gotta do. *heh* damnit why don't I drink normal coffee?
OH! and I'm not gonna be staying in hall afterall next semester. Cos the hall officer and SAO refused to let me check-in in late dec. I mean, waddeheck? You can't expect me to pay for 2 month's worth of hostel fees when I'm not gonna be utilising the room at all. It's the freaking HOLS! you only give me the offer now, and you expect me to pay for those 2 months of unused resources. urgh. And I'd rather not waste my dad's money. I think I've been wasting a lot of his money already. So, no hall next sem.
