Life is unfair.
26 May
Life is unfair.
“Life will be fairer in 6 more weeks,” she said, and put the tube of Fair & Lovely — a cheap 5-ringgit-30 whitening cream she bought at Mydin, her favourite place to shop but was also a secret she never shared — on the table, and smiled to the mirror and herself, desiring to look like her favourite singer, Kelly Clarkson.
By the second week, she put on a little weight, bought herself a white dress with creamy lace and it looked almost like a nightgown than a dress and told herself “this is the dress i’m going wear once i become me.”
By the 4th week, nothing was more ironic than wanting to look like her favourite singer, or her ownself, or perhaps, to just look like her sister. Everything went so wrong, her sister looked much prettier, herself looked the same, her favourite singer had made her think, “or was it just the smile?”. So she went to the mirror then smiled a thousand smiles and twirled like a plump girl, “or maybe just the face,” she said and pinched her right cheek a gentle pinch and danced with the new dress, a little happy dance.
By the 6th week, i met her.
“My God, you’re so ugly you almost made me believe in God,” i told and asked “Are you not Carol?”
“Yeah, i’m not Carol,” she added, “wrong person i guess,” and probably wrote that in her secret blog.
Life is so unfair, she thought.
*Watak dalam cerita fiksyen ini tiada kaitan dengan mereka yang masih hidup, atau telah mati atau pernah bekerja sekali dalam satu pejabat yang sama atau masih bekerja dalam pejabat yang sama. Fiksyen ini adalah rekaan semata-mata. That’s why it’s totally ridiculous! =P
Err… to Carol (watak fiksyen dalam cerita Firdy), Fair & Lovely works!
I used it for 2 years, now I am so fair that Firdy thinks I’m dewi from langit ketujuh!
hahaha. the name of the character is ‘Not Carol’ la. i know, i know, ‘Not Carol’ is overplayed already, boring already.
and it’s a fiction which is not inspired by any real event, was just exploring my mind
