Unlike my schooling days, nowadays Ramadhan seem to have less impact on me. Those days, fasting month means going home early and having no food in the canteen. Not that I like their food anyway; it just saves me the trouble from preparing them in the morning where I would rather trade the time to sleep. Later I started my solo strike on canteen food as a form of protest against their ridiculously expensive price which doesn't tally with the quality of the food render no-food-during-Ramadhan nothing much of a problem to me.
Now, sometimes I forget that it's the fasting month.
However, as if custom, I still visit the pasar Ramadhan at least once every year during these three years I left school. I guess now the impact of Ramadhan on me takes on a different way; in terms of traffic jams and overcrowded restaurants. For the record, I never like much of malay or mamak food. I'm very much someone who prefers oriental menu. So, I almost never buy anything from the pasar I went. But it's a great way to hang out with my beloveds.
Next, I want to point out this outstanding advertisement on Kotex, the sanitary pads. I know some may feel it's odd to be talking about this publicly but not me.
Anyway, on the bottom right corner of the pack it shouts:
"WOW! Pads with designs"
Then at the side there's this illustration of the pad with designs.
I don't see how a pad with designs will attract buyers, not me at least. It's meant to be thrown away after all. So why are they bothered with printing designs on sanitary pads and further incurring costs on the already not-so-cheap necessity? But I guess it's because the demography is FEMALE. I personally am not attracted to padswithdesigns, heck, I'm not even a fan of Kotex but I only use it because my Mom loves it so. The designs are not that nice anyway.
The only one time I ever fall for cute packaging is the HELLO KITTY box of liners by Intimate. To justify this, I like that brand.
Thus, this ends this random combo of two totally irrelevant topics.
JAANA!
