This feisty lil Bitch has horns!

Tuesday, December 06, 2005

Yesterday was a Jivas outing day. Unfortunately our dear Eve was down with food poisoning and so wasn't able to join us. Tsk tsk... Anyway, it isn't quite the same without the four of us together, feels like something's missing.

So yes, I was supposed to meet Jas first at 10.15am Bugis, so that we the two girls of Lonely Hearts Club could catch Harry Potter together. But I was late again! All thanks to my project chairperson. Goodness, on Sunday I sms-ed her to let her know I had kept to my promise and had e-mailed her the camp booklet by 4pm and kindly requested that she vet it and send me the final copy by 9pm on the same day so that I can delegate the work among my other team members. Waited all the way till 1.30am and yet she had not replied my email. Next day I woke up at 8.30am and went to take a shower. After which at 9am, I switched on my mobile and then there was a sms from her at 7 plus in the morning informing me that she had replied my email. Great! I hurriedly switched on my laptop, retrieved the email and rushed to add final touches to the camp booklet and then rushed somemore to send emails out to the rest of my team members to let them know what to do. By the time I left home, it was 9.50am! I sms-ed Jas to let her know that I would be late and for her to get the tickets first.

Oh well, I was just in time for the movie! Haha.. Managed to grab two Jumbo Chicken sausages from Cold Storage and a regular popcorn before entering the cinema cos' I didn't have my breakfast. Harry Potter's cinematography was superb as usual but storyline's starting to get a little too predictable and thus, boring. So yar, no big deal lah. Haha... Met up with Viv after the movie and went for a little window shopping cos' it was still too early for our Sakae Sushi Student Buffet.

Then I wanted to get bubble tea. Made an order for Lemon Red Iced Tea with pearls and aloe vera bits. Friggin' hokkien auntie can't pronunced 'lime' properly. So when she tried to confirm the order with me, she said "Leh-man Red Tee with pers and lum eh-row veh-la hor?" to which clever little me interpreted it as 'Lemon Red Tea with pearls and lum (hokkien for add) aloe vera right?'. And so I nodded my head and smiled. Horrors of all horrors, she rang up a total of $5! I was so freakin shock. WHAT?! FIVE GODDAMN FUCKIN DOLLARS FOR A REGULAR SERVING OF BUBBLE TEA?! I looked back at the menu and noted that it says $2.20 and 30cents more for additional toppings.
I asked the auntie and she was like "You wan leh-man red tee with pers and lum eh-row veh-la mah, kor-lec? Like tat is five dollar lor."
To which I replied fervently "Yar, I want Lemon Red Iced Tea with pearls and aloe vera which should cost only $2.50! Why $5?"
She asked again, "Tat an lum eh-row veh-la hor? Kor-lec wad, five dollar mah."
I was exasperated and I asked Viv what the fuck the auntie was saying. Then Viv tried to explain patiently to the auntie what I wanted. Finally after much agitation, we realised what she was saying, and translated to perfect English, it meant 'Lemon Red Ice Tea and Lime Aloe Vera', which means TWO different servings of bubble tea. She pointed to the two packets there and said cannot change already, gotta pay for both. I made a face, a YOU-BETTER-GIVE-ME-WHAT-I-WANT-OR-ELSE kind of face. Then she relented and said I could have my Lemon Red Ice Tea at $2.50 and I could make a hole in the cover for her to add in the aloe vera bits. I said I don't want the aloe vera bits already, grudgingly paid for my drink and stomp off. Then I was bitching to Viv and Jas bout' how such a stupid old hag who can't pronounce her words properly be allowed to take orders?!

We continued with our window shopping and I bumped into a secondary/JC schoolmate of mine. Made some small talk before we went off to Sakae. This time, we ate very slowly. Took our own sweet time to order our food and savour it. But seems like the kitchen keeps mixing up our orders. Viv ordered only 1 portion of fried scallops and they came with 4 portions of fried scallops. When we didn't order any chawanmushis, they came with 2 servings. What the hell! And what we wanted, never came until I had to ask for it the third time. We also wasted food lah, cos' we were kinda full already so when it came to sushi, we just ate the fillings and dumped the rice into a plastic bag when no1 was looking. Hehe... We were at Sakae from 3pm to 5.30pm, eating, cracking jokes, talking, bursting into fits of laughter, etc.

After that, we went to Bugis Village to walk around and Viv and I had our eyebrows shaped. Jas and Viv also bought a small brown slingbag each. I don't really like Bugis Village cos' there're too many people walking around on small narrow lanes. Besides, my feet was starting to ache, so I was feeling a lil grumpy. Heh... Then we walked back to Parco Bugis Junction and window shopped around somemore for Viv's party clothes. When all of us were really too tired, we went to Coffee Bean to just sit down and talk. Then Viv got into a BIG argument with her boyfriend over the phone. Her boyfriend kept on hanging up on her. It was scary. Jas and I were holding our breaths as voices were raised, hurting words were exchanged. Then Viv started to tear. Jas offered tissue and I was patting her hand to calm her down. Whole commotion took bout' half an hour? Then, when she finally hung up on her boyfriend, we talked bout' other stuffs like plans for more outings, including a maiden Jivas trip to Zouk and all. Time passed quickly when you're just starting to have a good time. Before we knew, the waiters were telling us to shoo already. Haha.. We parted at 10.30pm and went home.

Jas invited us to her friend's Xmas party! Wheeee!!! I can't wait!

P.S: My friggin timetable sucks to the core.
