those girls they want to marry.â
âBut who?â Imo asked, already looking a bit lost.
Aiyoh, I tell you. I tried very hard not to roll my eyes though. Instead, I pulled out some of the pictures I looked up on my phone that morning. Best one: Maggie Cheung. âThis one ah,â I said, âvery power. Marry the best type of guyâÂEuropean! French some more; sexy sexy one. Rich also.â Imo and Fann were nodding.
Actually, I was not really joking when I said that since we are so chio, why must we plan so hard? For starters, we were all quite skinnyâÂImo was the smallest of us, short short cute cute one. Got dimple on one side of her face so at least she looked half like the cute Japanese teenagers in those Kao Biore face soap advertisements. (But without that one big side tooth jutting outâÂmy god. Those dentists in Japan, I also donât know how they spend their time, man. Why are their girlsâ teeth all so terok?) Imoâs skin was also very fairâÂso fair that she definitely didnât need to buy SK-ÂII whitening cream. Lucky girl. Also, right after school she worked at Robinsonâs at the ShiÂseido counter for a while, so that girl really knows how to put makeup on and all. Her eyes are always nicely outlined so they look round round, big big one, like those Japanese anime girls that guys always want to pok. And since she now works at Club 21 boutique, she gets a 40 percent discount on everything they sell, so her clothing and handbags always quite designer, quite fashion one.
Fann, to be honest, is not so cute. Her nose is a bit big, her eyes only have a double eyelid on one side, so no matter how much she tries to put on eye makeup nicely, her face always ends up looking a bit crooked. And some more, even though since secondary school, sheâs always carried around a packet of powdered blotting paper wherever she goes, her skin is always oily! My god, when itâs hot, like June or July type, her faceâÂitâs a bloody blooming garden! Everywhere also got pimples opening flower. But still, sheâs a very nice girl lah. And her job is quite seriousâÂshe opened a pet store with her uncle and allâÂso guys usually know sheâs not after them for money or something funny. I think she gets extra points for that. Also, her backside is quite round and sexy, so confirm guys will always try to rubba her in clubs. And I guess she must be quite good in bed since usually, even when they wake up the next morning, the guys always take her out for breakfast, still ask for her phone number so they can text her again type.
Me, I think Iâm OK lah. Can still make it. Not as sweet as Imo but luckily, not as bad as Fann. The ang moh guys Iâve met are always talking about how glossy and black my long hair is and how soft and smooth my skin isâÂso I guess I at least have two things going for me. Of us all though, Sher was the best lookingâÂskin very fair like a Japanese princess, eyes not as big as Imoâs but beautiful almond-Âshape type. And she really knows how to put on eyeliner so the sides of her eyes look pulled out a bit, like those exotic Asian girls in ang moh movies. Also, she was the tallest of us all. But she wasnât the skinny giraffe typeâÂher breasts were small but quite nice (at least got cleavage, unlike Fann or Imo), and with her small small waist and legs long long and so shapely, my god, when she wears a miniskirt she almost looks like a Barbie doll. When she walks along Orchard Road, guys always steam. Even the atas guys also not shyâÂthey stare until crazy.
Which is why, really, the way things turned out for Sher, it was damn bang balls to think about how everything was just so bloody wasted.
âYou see ah,â I continued, before the girls could get distracted, âMaggie Cheung actually, her features are not so pretty. Her teeth are so big, got gap
