Rose: ...By the way, I was watching the news last Saturday. Wasn't that your mum on t.v.? The one being interviewed on behalf of NDC?

Me: (excitedly) Yeah, it was!

Rose: (in Malay, proud that she could recognise my mother) I thought it was! I was telling my family and my husband said the lady did look familiar. It was your mum, indeed!

Me: (in Malay) Yeah! The funny thing is the person in question, as well as her family, didn't get to watch it. We thought it would be broadcasted last Sunday instead.

Comment: Congratulations, Ma. Your brief shot at fame and you didn't get a chance to see it happening. Better luck next time! Heh.
