Jual Roti

i was home one day, preparing for dinner. I was sitting in the dining room when i noticed a tall stack of boxes being placed at the corner of the room near the stair.

i was wondering about the contents of those boxes as i asked my mom, it seems only to be there after my mom came back. She didn't heard me, resuming on her cooking as i waited.

Finally, the dinner was served, and i tried to ask her again, "Mi (it's how i called my mom, Mi = Mommy), what're those boxes?" She looked at me smiling and said, "Roti". Then i was like... huh? Bread? Then she said again, "you have any friends that need it? it's RM300 per box!" "WHAT? 300 BUCKS FOR A BOX OF FREAKIN BREAD? i mean, even the box are perticullary big, can stuff at least 4 or 6 packets of extra size breads, you can't expect people would pay 300 bucks for BREADS right? Besides, what brand is that? i'd never seen it before! it's not Gardenia nor High 5, the box is white in colour, i can't really see what's written on the box from where i sat, but 300 bucks is rediculous! i was left there in confusion as my mom laughing there at the side...

Only then my father turned to me, "it's woman's napkin..."

great... Roti... this is what they called a woman's napkin in the old days... it appears that one of her customers in saloon is asking her to help selling this product, and she's expecting ME to help her selling this out.....
I'M FROM ENGINEERING CLASS MAN! THERE'RE ONLY PATHETICALLY 6 GIRLS OUT OF 80 OVER STUDENTS IN THE CLASS! (not forget to mention non of them are my type) MEANING MORE THAN 90% ARE GUYS! HOW IS SHE EXPECTING ME TO SELL IT TO THESE PEOPLE?!! plus my some what introvert attitude, i'm not close with the girls at all, and those i hang around with are mostly not here right now, some in Australia, some in Singapore, some in JB, some dunno where.... so how am i suppose to sell this ROTI??! Even if i'm close with the girls, it'd be ackward for a guy to ask a girl, "hey, you wanna buy napkin? i got one here, very cheap! 300 bucks for one big box! VERY good wan! Comfortable, good absorbtion... blah blah blah... buy one box and you'll get your whole year of napkins supply covered!" how's that sounds to you?
IT'S NOT RIGHT! IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT! i'm expecting two possible out come from this,
1) the girl will turn away, saying "PERVERT!" and i'll get shunned from any relationship with the opposite sex forever, or...
2) i'll get a nice thick slap on my face and i'll get shunned from any relationship with the opposite sex forever....
geez.... what's my mom thinking man...... -_-"
