i saw a little boy running that flour thing through the flattening thing to make mee hoon kuey. he hollered back when his mum hollered an order at him.
i looked at my little brother in the little kenari. he was holding the steering wheel, pretending he could drive. he caught me looking at him, grinned, and waved.
today, for some reason, i remembered chor yeow and lin complaining about how they had to thrift because they couldn't afford luxuries in their home.
i remembered wondering why i still wore big white shirts with pictures of dancing dolphins in front when i could afford a - i don't know - kiki lala shirt? what. it's a brand.
and again i wondered how two of the same species could lead such different lives.
