Membeli cermin mata di KL Sentral

Yesterday I finally went to see the optometrist and get a new pair of glasses. The young man who attended to me was very polite and always had the right words to say. Sales pitch kena bagus kan, barulah customer nak duduk dan mencuba semua frame spek mata dan membeli.

After trying out what seemed to be the 100th pair of frame, I got what I wanted and proceeded into the small dark room to have my eyes checked. He was very reassuring and told me to relax and focus as he did his job. Sambil-sambil tu ada la small talk sikit.

-Kakak...itu abang kat luar ha, dia kata kakak kerja mekanik, betul ke?
-Dia kata apa lagi?
-Takde apa. Itu saja dia kata.
-Ohhh. Ya la. Eh kalau saya jadi mekanik pun ok jugak?
-Yaaa...memang apa kerja pun baik. Tapi saya tengok akak kalau jadi cikgu pun ok maa.
-Kenapa awak cakap macam tu?
-Kakak jangan marah tau saya cakap. Tapi saya tengok kakak macam cikgu sebab kakak suka instruct buat itu ini.
-Eh mana ada? Pandai-pandai je kau ni Eddie. Dah tolong pergi ke luar tu ambik handbag saya. Tertinggal kat luar tu, atas kerusi.

And he left this woman who was in total denial, while muttering to himself something that sounded like "Haiya say oso no use."
