u were on at orchard road, outside a 7-11 near paragon. It was freezing cold and everyone was in winter wear. u were wearing a white coat with pink fur on the collar which resembles candy floss. U had on ur head a white beanie that is as thick as the keyboard u have in front of you now.
u were eating a donut with chocolate filling. It was hot and crispy on the outside. Hmm..~ smells so good!
U took a bite.
Just then, chocolate ooze out of the donut. U extended ur arms so that they won't get on ur coat, but too bad, its already on ur candy floss collar. u waited but the chocolate just wun stop flowing. ur boots are now surrounded by the molten chocolate. u came to a conclusion - the chocolate will not stop and u need to get help. u looked around with helpless eyes waiting for someone to help you. just then, a mother holding her child's hand came over. The mother is in red winter coat that you recognize is uniqlo. u vaguely remember shopping there when a lady was trying on this coat. when asked why she needs that coat, she answered "Aiyah, one day Singapore sure will snow one mah. Better to be prepared. 50% off leh!"
she is now in front of u. she spoke, and u were distracted by her voice. it sounds like the lady u met in uniqlo 3 weeks ago when singapore was still 33 degree Celsius. U analyse her face. she has a pair of distinctly arced tattooed eyebrow. u think that she must be that lady u met 3 weeks ago in uniqlo, when u entered the shop just to get a bit of aircon. U snap back from ur thoughts and see her waiting for a reply. u ask her to kindly repeat. u notice that the chocolate has spread to her red heels that resembles that in DEVIL WEARS PRADA poster. U rem that u din like that movie. She asked again, this time slightly impatient. The harshness in her tone caught ur attention.
"Would you sell me your coat? I forgot to bring my child's coat out. My child's freezing."
U look at her child for a long minute and still cannot decide if its a girl or a boy. U look back at the mother, who is now getting dangerously frustrated. It is like her arced eyebrows arced to a larger degree, reminding u of the antagonist from 101 DALMATION. U are so paiseh that u hurrily took off ur coat and scuffed it to the lady. She passes u 100 SGD and demands for a 17.10SGD change. U digged for it with one hand and couldn't find ur wallet.
then u woke up.
