Past & Present

Situation: Someone asking a bomoh for help.

[2008]
Bomoh: Kamu sediakan 2 ekor ayam golek, seterika lama, tepak sirih, kuali takde telinga bla..bla.. (insert ancient cutleries here)

[2100]
Bomoh: Kamu sediakan 2 ekor chicken chop, processor Pentium 166Mhz MMX, 8MB EDO RAM, hard disk 1.2GB bla..bla..

Note: I don't have the idea either why bomoh likes those ancient things. Maybe those things got spirit inside trapped in them.

Subject: A very successful Malaysian singer who is now a millionaire.

[Before being involved into this 'Datin-Datin' world]
Her style is very traditional. Clothing is normal everyday's cloth. No overly done make-up. Doesn't even know what is colored contact lenses.

[After being involved into this 'Datin-Datin' world]
Modern style. No more those baju kurung/baju kebaya. Make-up is overly done (once her picture was shown in newspaper, I thought I saw a ghost). Wearing those colored contact lenses despite the fact she is cuter wearing a spec. Is now shopping in those LV, Prada boutique.

Note: I used to like this singer due to her cuteness. I admit, I like seeing woman in baju kurung/baju kebaya. Looks very 'sopan-santun' per se. Plus, without make-up except light layer of base talc and lipstick.
Now, I kinda lost hope with her already. Colored contact lenses are a very turn-off for me. I despise those people shopping for LV, Prada and all that bullshits. Those people tend to be the 'berlagak' type. And no, I don't admit anymore she's from my dad's hometown. My dad's hometown is a peaceful area without all those glamorous thingy.

Subject: KLCC

[2004]
Local shops still present. Boutiques like Mark & Spencer, FCUK was not known.

[2008]
Local shops? What local shops??

How time changes everything, and how usually we like the thing in the past than in the present.
