Had another caramel coffee jelly today...this is bad hahaha..really not good for health, i mean, all that sugar and caffeine?? Not good, not good. Well, slept at 6am the night before, so was really tired today. Woke up at around 12 plus..then had lunch. For lunch today my mom cooked some spaghetti with olive oil, bacon and mushrooms - an otherwise tasty meal if not for the saltiness..it was WAY too salty. But nonetheless, thanks mom! Really miss your cooking! Pls note, that is cooking flop of the day #1. So okay, went down to PS hoping to catch Shrek 2. Vesak day today, public holiday. So let's see..PS and public holidays just don't work! It was like way crowded, and just to get a parking lot took us close to 20 mins!!! My goodness!...haha so okay yeah..there were no tickets that day by the time we arrived there. Met 2 church friends there too! (Tong & Hong) and yea we chatted for a while and stuff..but not for long haha..then after that went to starbucks where i acquired my coffee drug haha...then well after that we went home with some groceries from carrefour. We got an eggplant, some potatoes, a roast chicken and 2 chicken sausage rolls. We sorta tried to grill the eggplant on the hotplate and then grill it again with the boiled potatoes...tried to follow my restaurant haha...but somehow just couldn't lah..so the entire meal was like...okay it wasn't all that bad. Just think shepherd's pie except with sliced eggplant, potatoes and pasta sauce. Pls note, cooking flop of the day #2. Haha..okay then like andrew tried to make this egg salad...just hard-boil the egg and add thousand island and mash it up. Sounds simple right? Well...that turned out to be cooking flop of the day #3. Eggs not hard enuf so the yolk made it a bit wet...nonetheless i actually enjoyed all the meals! haha...and then my mom dropped me to work. Reported to work at 6pm today so the restaurant would have been ready to accept diners by then. So yeah..just went with the flow and did my waiter thing. Very funny...the boss has some superstitious idea that whenever he plays a certain CD he'll get more diners. And to a certain extent it was kinda true. Business was really really slow yesterday despite the fact it was Vesak Day, a public holiday..he wasn't playing his lucky CD haha...the CD's called Voices, and the signature song in it is BARCELONA!!! Haha..(personal joke)..anyway so we suggested playing his lucky CD and then true enough, business started picking up!!! Haha..don't mean to support any form of superstition here but it was kinda weird and funny at the same time? Then this bunch of GAYS came in!!! AARRGGHH!! So irritating..they sat away from my section (thankfully) and they were all weird ppls! micture of chinese and ang mohs..and like eewww...one fella even touched his chest and said "lamb loin" when elizabeth read out the daily specials...sick rite?? and throughout the whole time they were talking about they gay stuff very loudly..and like making a nuisance and all...terrible terrible. Luckily they left me alone..well most of the time at least..i know one idiot there made a kissing sound at me..i like totally ignored it but at the same time..feels kinda violated? I mean...RESPECT man!!! but anyway, that CD sure was effective..and then of course we joked about his lucky CD after that haha...and then let's see...David the assistant chef cooked us his famous chicken wings (good stuff) and some chicken primavera pasta. It was gorgeous i tell ya...well i was hungry at the time anyway haha...so anything'a good. Then i told david the lame lame joke i learned in church the last week. First, "what do you call a fish with no i (eye)? A FSH! Hahaha lame. Then i asked what you call a deer with no eyes? Then he said deer dun have the letter i in it. Smart, but not the correct answer. The answer is a "no idea" as in no-eyed-deer haha lame rite??? Then last one..what did sushi A say to sushi B? Answer: "Wasabe"..as in Wassup-be..hahaha..totally lame. Neways..closed shop at around 11 plus...boss Willie took us out to MAKAN!!! Haha..so okay, Willie drove, elizabeth took the front seat (only girl mah..) and then me, jasper, david and chef john squeezed into the backseat of willie's Subaru Impreza..nice car..then we made our way to Geylang for DURIANS!!! Whoa! Willie's a fast driver and the car was so smooth we didn't quite notice the speed, but we got to geylang real quick. Even beat a stoopid youngster in his modified Civic to a small race haha...so okay, in all willie got us all 9 durians and 7 coconuts to share. Fantastic stuff! Now i know why they call em the king of the fruits haha. After the durians, Elizabeth Jasper David and i hopped into a cab and went to drop Liz off at NUS hostel. On the way there we were talkin bout Amaci stuff (again) and haha..david broke a flower pot just now and the plant in it was like potless and the soil spilled all out? So before we left the restaurant just now we all did an acting stunt. Boss willie saw the potless plant conspicuously stuck in the middle of where the electric fan used to stand..i mean how FUNNY!!! it was like totally comical??? Haha and willie asked who did it and we all acted blur and all..and he now thinks someone didn't want it and just threw it at his restaurant hahaha...it is actually his!!! okay okay..so yeah elizabeth thought we were all good actors..more like good liars haha..anyway we got off as well at NUS hostel and met up with our other "Amici Staff Rebel Council" member haha..he stays there too..and like he didnt work today so yeah...he missed out on the durian bit i guess but that's alrite. After that david jasper and i wanted to go off already..so we decided to walk back out to the main road. LOL i can really laugh at this man...instead of walking out of South Buona Vista road, i told them to walk the wrong way!!! Cuz it was so confusing anyway! So we ended up walking the wrong way!! OH NO! hahaha..but we all had a very good time. There was this coke can on the road and we were all like totally playing road soccer with that can! In the middle of the road!! FELT SO FREE! Of course it was around close to 2am then so..yeah not many cars..then we took off our shirts and shouted and sang and whoa...then we peeed in the drain LOL..haha yeah...the things guys do eh? hehe...so we realised we were walking the wrong direction after a while and like uh oh..so now how? we can't possibly turn back now rite? so walked and we walked and as we walked we talked about life and about all kinds of stuff..and guess where we ended up? PASIR PANJANG!!! yep we did..but it brought back lotsa old memories to me. Went past Pasir Panjang Hill Kindergarten which was my old kindy and like..wow the building hasn't changed at all! well slight alterations here and there but it was just the same!!! the carpark, the playground....i mean like wow..good memories man..and then walked past haw par villa and yeah..more memories. Then okay..we sorta gave up walking halfway cuz it was getting kinda late. So last resort, took a cab haha..and YES it was a very very long way out by cab, so imagine walking that. Okay, the cab dropped us at clementi central there..and then jasper went off with the cab back home. David and i we went to his palce for a while..david wanted to drop me off on his scooter..so like wow how can i refuse the offer? I never rode on one b4, and it was late and it would save me a lotta cab money! So like okay, he went up to get his keys but when we went down the bike wasn't there..so maybe his dad sent it for repairs? So that's the first trip from level 1 to level 22. Then we went back upstairs to drop the keys off. Then we headed down again - Second trip up and down 22 floors. Then he decided to drop me off..as in walk with me home lah..how nice rite?? Very thoughtful. So when we were about to leave the compound i asked him if he has a bicycle and like YES he did! and haha..third trip up to level 22 and down to get his bike. Pretty cool looking bike..an old and rustic looking BMX with standing poles at the back so david cycled and i stood at the back! FUN man! Cycled on the main road and all and yeah he cycled me back home haha..got him a drink and then he was on his way back. Got home around 3 plus. Fantastic day i tells ya. See it's not what happened that made the day so good but it's the people in it. Hey dudes at Amici Italian Restaurant, you rock! and i appreciate everything u done for me and all the food u let me eat LOL...
anyway, Psalm 118:24 "This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."
