Food for imagination

I was eating a carbo lunch (I'm turning into a potato soon) in school the other when my nose picked up a smell that was not potato-y.

I think it was dried saliva. I hope to goodness it wasn't. Imagine this:

Ugly boy (yes, with severe acne and yellow crooked teeth with lots of plague) puts fork in mouth and sucks for a while, savouring the taste of whatever he bought.

Ugly Boy: Hmm, very nice leh. (rotates fork in mouth)

He then continues to suck it for another good 30 seconds before he sees a chio bu walk past.

He decides that it is not very good to be seen sucking a fork, for that would seem baby-ish, not to mention disgusting (he knows!).

So, he pulls the fork out reluctantly, with his cracked lips wrapped around them most unseductively.

He smiles at chio bu. But unknown to him, he has something gooey and slimy stuck between his teeth (god knows what he ate).

Unfortunately (or thankfully), chio bu didn't even spare him a glance and clattered on in her Bugis Street heels, little grains of powder from her face forming a trail in her wake.

Ugly boy is very sad, but went back to sucking the fork. Yes, the very fork you could be using the next time.
