He said that they chose fruits, like choosing life partner.
Want the cheapest, want freshest, want the best of the best.
Finally today, I was able to fully comprehend what he meant. In its broadest sense, the term kiasuism brought to a whole new level I ever seen.
I was at Seng Siong supermarket, by comparison with NTUC or Giant the price there is much cheaper in my opinion. “Live” prawn for example, in NTUC or Giant, it cost SGD29.00 a kg and Seng Siong sells SGD16.00 a kg.
There was this lady, by her heavy mandarin accent, I concluded she was a PRC. She asked the staff to give her 300g of “live” prawns. Job done, staff gave her a bag of 'live' prawns.
Now the amazing part................
(This the lady.......si buay jialut)
She put her hand inside the plastic bag, catch hold of each individual prawn and place it back into the water to make sure it swim.
She did it to every one of the prawn.
Catch, place into water and back inside the plastic bag.
(Can visualize what she does?)
After 5 min the staff asked her if she ready to weigh the prawns as they need to put the price tag on the plastic bag.
She said, “ Can wait or not”
This goes on for another astonishing 15 min.
Wau lau en, buy 300g of prawns only for a fiddling sum of less than SGD5.00/- and she did like this?
I dare her to go NTCU to try out her stunt, I bet my last dollar that the staffs over there would take a smelly dead fish to slap her, knocking some senses into her.
Also I bet she never shave her smelly armpit hair. If she does, then my testicles are square.
