Let me ask. What is the difference between a sandwich in 1/8 of a bread slice size, with toothpick on it. And a sandwich ½ of a bread slice size without toothpick on it. But both are made from the same ingredients, both fresh.
To me, it is nothing more than just the size of the sandwich. One of them is bite size which I usually prefer, coz it simply means lesser mess. Probably 50 cents worth of toothpicks on those 3 plates of bite size sandwich I would say.
You see….
There was an event. People stepping into the premises out of curiosity, the event came with refreshments and as expected, many who love to have free things (not ashamed to say, someone like me), would come by to pick up some edibles. That bite size sandwich was on one of the trays positioned nicely on the row of tables. I love that thinly sliced cucumber I can hardly manage to master even on the 6th time I try making sandwiched.
Event Staff: Hi, welcome, please feel free to look around and have some snacks if you like.
Random Lady: Wah, nvm, it’s ok, I very poor one, eat sandwich is use hand eat those normal ones, your’s all so nice so high class, not for me lar. Got tooth pick somemore.hahaha
Event Staff: How about some drinks for you then?
Random Lady: wah nvm nvm, your glass all so nice so high class, and I don’t know how to appreciate all those things also, nvm la.. hahaha
Event Staff: I see, haha. Well feel free to look around then. Just let me know if you need any help. -_-
Upon hearing that, my brain starts wondering…
Is there any high class toothpick around in this world that I am unaware of, selling in expensive shops, the toothpick is made of some famous rare species of tree that is near extinction?
OR
There is a special scissors or knife, cost $2000 USD each that gives a wonderfully delicious out of this world taste when used to cut sandwiches.
OR
Is there even anything I can do a sandwich to make it lower class or higher class? Ok, Maybe if i put a thick layer of foie gras in some of the sandwich.
The thing is....
I can never fail to understand when someone chose to go kopitiam, instead of coffee bean, or when anyone have their daily meals at hawker, instead of fast food. Or when people chose to hang around at a friend’s house for a movie, instead of joyful drinking at the clubs/pubs.
But I really do not understand the difference between a bite size sandwich with toothpick on it and a normal size sandwich without toothpick on it from a financial status point of view.
To me, it’s free! Not expired! Quite refreshing, and I especially like bite size with toothpick coz it won’t create a mess on my hand. Eat it. Do you really have to show everyone that you have 10 cents lesser then the rest of the people around therefore you’re the special one that is unworthy of a SANDWICH? Which is free for all???
If you’re really as poor as you say you are, shouldn’t you be happy that you got free sandwich?? Or anything at all? I would be! Although I am not starving poor, I do enjoy free things in life. If not, I will just give it to someone who would enjoy whatever I have that I don’t enjoy.
or actually, should I say, what has financial status got to do with being unworthy or not when it comes to food. You are only unworthy when you think you are... I would just think I am lucky when something unexpectedly pleasant comes my way, gladly accept it.
Why can’t they be like the rest of the people, who would be more than happy getting four free bottles of sprite home although it might have been given coz it is out of gas in the first place. We can make ice pop out of it!
I seriously don’t get it.
Ok, now! Who will give me a free desktop which can play some graphic heavy games without lag. I don’t need one so good actually, but I don’t mind extra ^^
