Aunties

Aunties. You find them in neighbourhood, you find them in the market, you find them in supermarket, you find them in malls, you find them on public transport, you find them outside school, you find them at community centre, you find them at coffee shop. Everywhere you go there will be aunties. How amazing!

I remember 2 seperate incidents on the bus where there were a group of aunties. The first incident: A group of 4 aunties were happily chit-chatting on the bus. They seemed to be very engrossed in their conversation. Paying a little more attention, I realised that they were talking about the market. NOpe! Not the stock market. I meant the PASAR market. They were happily outbeating each other on who paid the least price. And they were also exchanging their magical tips on what kind of food is good for what illness or health. Amazing. When you look them in their faces, you see the zeal and the fulfillment. The second incident was of similiar scenario where the 2 aunties were relating their daily 'adventures'.

Why am i bringing up the topic of aunties? To poke fun of them. Never. Even though their conversations may seemingly seem uninteresting and unproductive, I realised something valuable they have and most of us don't have. TIME. Honestly, they have the whole world to themselves in that sense. With that ample time, these aunties are free to roam around. And do you see what power and significant role they can play in sharing the good news. Well! Maybe it is time that someone help to raise this Christian Homemakers and stir them to spread the Gospel. Even if they are not Christians, these homemakers can really contribute alot to the society by being volunteers to the many charitable homes and services. I am not sure if you see the impact I see. But for me, salute to all the AUNTIES out there!

But sometimes aunties can be also quite funny in an interesting way. I had an inflamation on a patch skin under my left chin. It kinda swell up so one side of my face is puffed up. SO this auntie came up to me and commented, “显杰啊，你是不是又发胖了？：”(Xianjie arh, you put on weight is it?) I am very sure I have been maintaining my diet and watching my weight so why have i put on weight. Then I remember my swollen cheek. Ai yoh! I feel like telling tat auntie, Have you seen someone put on weight on one side of the cheek? Hahahahaha!!!! Amazing how auntie operates.

Wah! My cheek really in pain. The swelling is causing the pain. Seen a doctor and was given anti-biotics. Now surviving on Paracementol to curb the pain. Well! Lesson learn. Keep your shaving blade clean. T_T
