Telur Dada

Blazing hot afternoon, lunch time, in a restaurant lining up in sweaty shirt for my turn to pack my lunch. There is this guy in front of me is ordering his dishes to the kakak at the back of the stall.
“Ayam goreng”, the kakak put one piece of fried chicken into a pack of rice wrapped by brown paper with banana leafs.
“Ubi kentang”, she scoops some potatoes and added on top of the rice.
“Telur dada”
She paused for a moment while looking at this guy’s eyes. Then she looked down and smile while taking a piece of malay styled omelette, telur dadar, add on top of the potatoes she added in earlier and she wrap up the brown paper and put it into a plastic bag.
This reminds me of once a famous politician with his famous phrase,
“Jangan hisap dada” on a anti drug campaign.
I couldn’t agree more.

I totally understand for those who have sensitive skin and couldn’t expose to hot sun because the skin condition would get worse, irritate, itchy, etc…
I totally understand being woman who take care of their skin very much, willing to spend tremendous amount of money on skin care products just to keep their skin silky smooth, glowing healthy looking skin, and try their level best to avoid the brutal sun to destroy their skin.
I totally understand having your make up on your face, a hot and sunny day will ruin your make up. Make up products are expensive, reapply will take time, time equals to money.
I was walking not far behind these five ladies, I counted my steps from the place they deployed their umbrellas until they keep their umbrella away. And the number of steps taken for me to walk is…
