first encounter

i brought grandma to the roti prata house at upper thomson road for breakfast...heard it's one of the best roti prata house on the island; i used to buy supper from there last sem, those dreadful days that we got to stay late in the night for the cs project...dont remind me

anyway, we had satisfying meal...and she whispered to me, why are these people so dark?

as i slowly recovered from the choke, and contemplated an appropriate answer to that; i squeezed the words outa my teeth, too much sun-tan perhaps...
