Before-After

I'm sure most of you have seen the before-after advertisements in the newspapers. Just pick up any newspaper and you'd be able to find one for sure. Women with enough folds of fat on their stomach to form rice terraces that you see ever-so-often in the Philippines, transforming into beauties with svelte figures, slim enough to become the new face of Faber Castle's new line of colour pencils.

My mum just decided to do something like this of her own... In an attempt to convince people that the body suits she purchased about three days ago really do help people to slim down, she asked my dad to take a photo of her 'before'.

"Look depressed, look fat (which is kinda impossible, coz my mum isn't fat)... Ahhh... that's it! (apparently it is possible.. somehow) Now hold it there."
"Quick lah, take the photo!"
"What the... why is there this push to talk thing that keeps appearing on the screen? I think your phone has a problem, I can't take any photos!"

The happened about another five times before my dad realized that he had been pressing the wrong button all along. My sister and I burst out laughing. My brother, deciding to join in the commotion, started crying because my mum had scolded him, refusing to let him take the photo coz he was wasting time.

So finally they took the photo. My mum finally let my brother take one too, much to his delight. It might not seem funny now but I'm certain it was quite funny then.

"Eh... Where is the photo? I want to see it."
"It's not there? I thought I put in volume label?"
"It's not... you mean you didn't save it?!"

Altogether now... "WAH LAU!"

Here we go again :D
