Untouchable Feb25

No need get your nose outta joint here; not at all. Far worse earlier in the afternoon the pimp down at Fei Du blaring gruffly, ordering his two young Viets around, the woman serving and his partner in crime / procurer too, who spoke the girls’ language. Filling out the caricature, at one point the man actually trumpeted a porcine HONK-HONK without prompting. The momentary surprise shortly after at the Arab cosmetic place at Tanjong Katong Complex was in the fact that it was another woman serving that day—younger, unmade-up, heavier and taller. Lady in this instance got around the problem there in her own particular way. Soaps, shampoos, creams; &etc. A small $1.20 goats’ milk rich lather proved excellent for shaving. (Likely also valued for whitening.) The older, made-up woman with the tattooed eye-brows when she received the cash would tell you, Put there. The last time seemingly pointing at the sloping register keys—rather awkward for coin. The woman today perhaps sixty; sister-in-law if not second wife, possibly. Though she could not be recalled, for the transaction at the register she seemed to be prepared, knowing the price of the article without checking. From her left a clean, unused, plastic curry container, the dish with the inner grooves that many of the Indian places used for condiments. Directions were unnecessary as the kaffir regular was likely well recalled.
