diet freaks

I was accompanying a bunch of visiting friends from Ipoh to buy some local goodies at a wet market today, when I spotted a box of yummy ‘tambun biscuit’. Guarding that stall, was a porky teenager looking at me …

Me : “Excuse me, how much is that box of tambun biscuit ?” [pointing at a box of tambun biscuit]

Fat boy : “10 bucks per box”

Me : “Alright, gimme a box of that”

Fat boy : “Which brand do you prefer, boss ? GH or HH ?”

Me : “Gimme HH…”

HH was the more famous brand … and known to taste better as well.

Fat boy : “Boss, you want [something inaudible] or the one made of vegetable oil ?”

I couldn’t really hear him, but from the word “vegetable oil”, I kinda know that he’s trying to ask if I wanted a ‘healthier’ version of that cholesterol laden biscuit. Frankly speaking, I don’t know what makes him think that I’m a diet freak …

Me : “Gimme the one which is more dangerous”

He didn’t quite get what I’m trying to tell him, and was looking at me in a confused state.

Me : “Aiyah… the one with animal lards and with higher cholesterol…”

He immediately responded with a smile and packed up my dangerous box of biscuit.

You see, I really could not understand people nowadays. Diet freaks.

What’s with those diet cokes or sugar free candies all about ? If they’re so concerned about their health, shouldn’t they be avoiding those kind of food in the first place? Those diet freaks can eat something else should they want to whine about ice creams containing too much sugar would make their ass look more rotund …

Any food with the word “diet” or “no sugar” labeled on it… is gonna taste like shit anyway, and not any better than their vegetarian diet… So, why bother ? Why can’t they just stick to drinking plain water and eating breads instead ?

Just… fucking stop the madness already. Leave our food as it is. No more diet shits.

I think they ought to be hung and shot, so that they don’t have to worry about their body figure or health no more. That’s because corpses don’t gain weight or have sky high cholesterol.

    neeshen - I don’t really agree to call it “con”. He offered 10 bucks, and I agreed to pay for it. That act is a legal transaction. An invitation to treat… in management terms. As simple as that. *shrugs*

    I know the price from HH is only 9 bucks… but i just hate dealing with it’s staffs… which are arrogant and not mentioning the scarce parking space.

    Besides, I don’t really mind letting a minority income stall operator earn an extra 1 buck from me. Like… if I can spend a few hundred bucks treating my friend drinks, why can’t I part with just a mere 1 buck from my pocket ?

    See the whole point here ?

    As for the halal thing, thanks for the enlightenment.

    i juz want to nitpick with u abt the *invitation to treat* part… :P
    it’s a contract term in legal speak. not a management term.

    naeboo~ - It’s being taught in management. I need not to explain further.

  4. naeboo~ says:

    doeesnt mean that is taught in management means it is a proper management term per se. it still is a borrowed term from law. :)

  5. michaelooi says:

    naeboo~ - Borrowed term from law it may be, but still, it’s part of the management know hows.

    Hell if it’s a borrowed term from law and it’s being taught in Algebra … I can call it an Algebra term… doesn’t matter. It’s still the same thing.

    It’s the subjective part of definition.
