a flash back to the past

since i shifted to the new place i didn't really go out much for lunch. after all, where would you go? there's not many places to eat and even if there are, the food are mostly the same...nasi campur. But on the days that i do go out, i make a point to wander around the area. guess what i found? bedak buku nyonya zaman dulu2...the one that my grandma use to used. the one that i secretly play with when grandma was not in the room...it has been ages since i last saw it and it didn't occur to me that it was still in the market. i don't know whether to laugh or cry when i saw that...ulu sangat ke tempat i keje ni? ada ke orang pakai bedak ni lagi? in this area?
i also saw a bedak which i call calamine-lotion -like now..i don't know whether anybody still remember this stuff from way back when i was a toddler/preschool kid. but seeing those stuff being sold in an area where i work changes my perspective of the community there. it's probably just a 15-20 minutes drive to shah alam but some of those stuff you'll never find in shah alam. then again, probably it's not as bad as it looks...
