dinner=)
Date: 16th December 2007 (9 more days to Merry~ merry~ X'mas~)
Weather:Very hot and dazzling in the morning, even hotter in the afternoon, and night was nowhere near any cooler.
Financial status: BROKE ( I spent more than 200 bucks on Christmas gifts loh- so ya, those who receive your gifts ought to be grateful and don't complain, while those who don't, please don't whine and wait for next year=P)
Mood: Over the moon because I'm having a computer to use at least. Pissed because numerous things are going against my wish (particularly working matters). Good because of many yet so wonderful things.
Alright, so today was indeed a fruitful day, in a sense that we had a really sumptuous dinner. But a good story begins with a long and boring introduction which would eventually leads the reader into a split-second of the climax, and then, it's the after-peak which the newpaper said in yesterday's issue about Ronaldhino's performance ( I suppose it means to have already reached the highest point that the only route left is down, down , and down). Thus, here's how the day began with...
Alright, today I worked mid-shift, the one which starts from 10 in the morning and ends at 5 in the evening. To be frank, I don't really like this shift a lot, because 1. I got to tend the shop TOGETHER with my sister's arch enemy, whom I myself am not very fond of either. In this case, we shall name her 'the one', 2. I got to tend the branch which I'm not very fond of either. In this case, we shall call in shop 2, while the one I like will be shop 1.
Well, the day started like this (remember I mentioned about the boring introduction, please bear with it), I reported to shop 1 first. Then the stocks came and I stayed to help Lina with the stocks, almost forgetting that today's Saturday and that the bank closes at 12.30 noon. Soon before long, I was rushed over to shop 2 to deliver the money to mahani, whom failed to make it on time. My bad!
At around 2, the one came and as always, I tried to make myself as occupied as possible so that she won't have any excuse to give me instructions or any things for her to gossip about behind my back. That was a long and tormenting 3 hours, though I managed to find something to make time pass quickly- rearranging the stocks that were already in the boxes (meaning to find things out of nothing to do, in short, create troubles=P).
At 5, I was given an urgent call by Nora and Sufie to Give an urgent relieve at shop 1, so that they can go to the canteen to settle their not-so-urgent matters ( to choose what to eat) -_-". And because of that, I was slightly late for my dinner, and I forgot to put one of the customer's already-paid thirteen-dollars-item into her bag. My worse bad!
ps. terribly sorry to that customer. plenty apologies and hope that you will come back tomorrow morning to collect it.
Alright, here's the climax. I had a really sumptuous dinner at the Japanese restaurant in the west, Sakura. They serve many good food that were real delicious, and guess what, my elder brother's a chef there=). Not only that, but he's also one of the two big chefs there. I'm so proud of him=). Haha. Of course the experience will never be as wonderful as Joel's a month trip to LA, but the fun is there. This is a buffet restaurant, and as typical Singaporeans, we make sure we eat more than we pay=P. The typical kiasu-ness. My menu for the night's dinner: - Fried noodles with two prawns and a fish
- 2 Japanese style fried prawn
- 2 cup ice lemon tea
- 1 unagi
- 1 1/2 lobster porrige
- 1 seafood treasure- with yet another 4 prawns in it
- 6 sushi-s
- 1 raw cockle (my first experience eating it)
- 1 shark's fins soup
- some crumbs of lamb chop and steak
- 2 strand of fries
- 1 tako ball ( I love it)
- some paper steamboat soup
- 1 fried scallop
I missed out on the mushroom soup and the desserts. That's my only regret man. Haaha. Luckily I hadn't had anything for lunch, so it's an empty stomach filled=). But my appetite has really decreased over the years already. I could've taken more a few years back then=).
Towards the end, a trivial but interesting things rounded the day's event a perfect end-off. MY brother in law was really very full already, but yet he wanted my second sis to get her one watermelon, one dragon fruit, 1 chocolate fudge, and a chocolate cake- enough to make his stomach burst.=P So, that's the funny part=).
My beloved chef-brother and my mommy:
People often say that a leopard never change it's spots, but today I've learnt the opposite- my brother has kicked his habit of smoking and gambling. So, having done the impossible, that makes me even more proud of my brother=).
