Together, they would have a simple meal of ‘check check’ (fried rice), highlighting the extent of her financial struggles.
Although Delay previously faced challenges, she now enjoys being able to use her well-earned money to maintain a refined and elegant appearance, a significant contrast to when she experienced shortage and deprivation.

Delay’s struggle with financial instability during her early years and depending on friends for support highlight her strength and perseverance in facing challenges.
“The friend would then go and buy ‘check check’ (fried rice), which we shared…at a point i had only one brassiere.”
“My story is a typical grass-to-grace, from poverty to financial independence and success. It’s just from zero to hero, from a nobody to somebody.”
