Life has been pretty great this past few days. Smooth riding and busy enjoying my social circle (what social circle?) that i dont have much time to update, or rather, am too shagged to do so. khekhek.

Like the other day, where the Ashrithaa and i accompanied Claire to appeal to enter NJC through band. After sitting rotting in the band room and tolerating band freaks for 3 hours, Claire decided she does not want to go NJC anymore, and so she went into the audition room and decided to do this:

Auditioner: Ok play for me Gminor (or something like that).
Claire: Uhm. Got what scale ah?
Auditioner: Oh. Nevermind. Try something else. A Fminor (or something like that)
Claire: Uhhhm... (Grins sheepishly)

Stupid Claire. Waste 3 hours of my day. Heh. So anyway, after that we decided to head to town with this guy Lester, who, has no shame and therefore invited himself. He turned out to be such a gayish guy (BUT is not gay) and was a rather peculiar character. Fun to hang around with ah, although i still dont understand how he got the courage to go out with 3 girls whom he only met 3 hours before. Cool.

And yesterday. Woah. Yesterday was fun FUN FUN i tell you. I skipped school yet again (I went to school on Thursday and only a quarter of the total population came, thus no lessons went on) and went out with the other half as well as my bestest cousin, Annisa.

So i met him early in the morning at 7am at his house area, clad in my newly bought JJC uniform, in which, i might add, i look good in (wahha). So we hopped on the bus to Paya Lebar and ate breakfast there. Let me create a diversion here for a while.

I never, i repeat, never had such bad service like the one i experienced eating bweakfast at Paya Lebar's Long John Silver. As the other half and I approached the fastfood chain, we were quite amused to see a totally empty place, in stark contrast to McDonald's hustle and bustle. There were 2 minahs behind the counter, and 1 Nonya at the kitchen.

Faddy: G'morning. May i have Breakfast Meal 1 please.

Minah 1: Ok. (keys in some stuff). Eh Minah 2 tolong aku jap. [Minah 2, give me a hand please]

Minah 2: (Trudges over and peers into the screen) Sial ah. Apa kau picit? [Sial ah. What did you press?]

Minah 1: Apa yang dia order lah. [What she ordered lah]

Minah 2: (Keys in more stuff) Uhm. Mdm, what did you order just now?

Faddy: A set of Breakfast Meal 1. (I was like. What the hell? Its one simple meal and i didnt even make any changes!)

Minah 2: Ok mdm. Wait a while. (Keys in some stuff) That will be $5.50 mdm.

Faddy: (Hands over $50.50, expecting $45 in notes)

Minah 1: (takes the money. Keys in some stuff)

Minah 2: (shouts to Nonya for the order)

5 minutes later.

Faddy: Excuse me, may i have my change? You seem to have forgotten it. And my meal?

Minah 1: Oh sorry sorry. (keys in some stuff) Here you go. (hands over $40)

Faddy: Uhm. Its supposed to be $45. You still owe me $5. I gave you $50.50 remember?

Minah 1: (Gives a blank look. Beckons Minah 2 to come over) Eh macammana nak bukak balik register? Dia kata aku owe dia $5. [How to open the cash register. She says i owe her $5]

Minah 2: (Gives blank look. Keys in some stuff)

5 minutes later.

{Nonya puts the platter on the desk)

Faddy: Excuse me, may i have my $5 please?

Minah 2: (points to the $40 i hold) There.. I gave you your change already what.

Faddy: (irritated voice) No.. I gave you $50.50. The meal is $5.50. That means, you owe me $45 in change. You've returned me $40. That means you have an outstanding $5 to give me.

Minah 2: Ohhh. (Takes back the $40 in my hands. Gives me $44.50)

Faddy: No! You owe me $45 get it? Another 50 cents.

Minah 2: (gives me blank look, and passes me the 50 cent COIN i gave her)

Like what the fish sia? Simple maths also dont know want to be a cashier. BUH! it makes my blood fume to think of it. Anyway, my brother's being an ass right now. I shall continue blogging later.
