Wednesday evening (yes, the previous post was typed on the same Wednesday I’m mentioning here. Just to let you know in case the previous post confused you enough xD) before Japanese class, me, Kar Yee, her cousin brother and her brother was looking for a place to eat their dinner and my snack in Damansara Uptown. Hahah! We peeked at a cupcake cafe. Wow! It was trendy but expensive. So we left to check out another place.
The Coffee Place was rather simple. They served home-made western food with quite a variety of sandwiches and all-day breakfast sets. They even have a ‘Made Your Own Breakfast’ set. Cool! Unfortunately the menu didn’t have desserts. The waiter/owner? was friendly too. He even took the trouble to set the food nicely according to each of our order even though the table was already cramped up with Kar Yee’s laptop. Really nice. =)
I ordered a breakfast set and had tea to come along with it. It was ok. Simple really. Kar Yee and her brother had the same thing, sandwiches with fries. I had one of Kar Yee’s sandwich. It tastes really good! ^^ They drank white coffee and ice lemon tea respectively. (Note: I think Kar Yee was playing around with her coffee or just taking the extra pack of sugar home...whatever it was....she was high for AT LEAST 30minutes before class. Seriously high that it was dangerously contagious) Her cousin brother had spaghetti. Couldn’t get feedback about it from him though he did order 2 glasses of latte and mentioned that the coffee wasn’t strong. Good for non-regular coffee drinkers, like me. =p
Overall, just...simple and nice. ^^ We’ll definitely be heading back there again. Anyone interested, the cafe is just along the shoplots where CIMB Weath Advisors are. =3
(Note: This post was typed out on a Wednesday night but due to internet connection failure, it could not be posted at the right time. Therefore, sorry if my days confused you. What happened on Wednesday was a confusing event anyway. Hahahaha!)
Just yesterday(Tuesday) I was thinking to myself that...on Sunday I actually dreaded going to work on Monday...but on Monday it was actually ok...then yesterday I forgot I worked the day before and therefore thought it was Monday until my boss corrected me...and after work I started to miss work and wish I could work more days. And today...my boss decided to bring the whole firm (the firm only consists of 4 people including myself) over to my house unexpectedly!! Such Law of Attraction... However, the visit was not due to work.
The past few days I heard that my boss would be bringing out the only other girl in the firm, Ms Oon, to do a special assignment today. While I was changing and getting ready to go university to do my self-studies, I got a text message from my boss..and that’s when everything started going crazy! The scenario went like this:-
Boss: *sms* oon come 2 yr hse now. Ok? (I copied the sms literally)
Me: *thinking* Eh?? For what?? Oh...maybe she can finally drive his manual car and is on her own for the assignment. Now...why does she want to come to my house?
*calls Boss* Eh! Why she coming over??
Boss: Ah! We bringing dessert. *Background: Ms Oon laughing*
Me: (Oh..so he’s with her. Bet the only person left, Matthew, is in office) Dessert??? What dessert??
Boss: Cendol. We come over ok ah?
Me: Uh...ok. (But I don’t like Cendol...) Where are you?
Boss: Nearby only.
Me: Oh ok..
So I waited by the door to see what would pop up and what they were seriously up to. I also informed my aunt who was suppose to send me out and do some bill paying chore after that...she was a little impatient with the news. My grandma was there too, so she heard that they were coming...she thought my boss is going to drag me off to work. Either way, it wasn’t good. My grandpa was asleep..UNTIL they came. My sister was eating really late breakfast in her PJs unaware of their due visit. We all shared the same feeling though...confused. Why the visit?!
I expected...ok...if it’s really dessert, maybe it’s something they like to chuck away extra stuff for convinience sake or something else...but it revolved around passing to me and leaving immediately. What I didn’t expect was what was really going to happen:-
From afar I see the car...I had a bad feeling. Then I saw that my boss and Ms Oon weren’t alone, they brought Matthew as well so that’s the whole firm! Oh no... Then they parked and they all got down! Oh No... When I opened the gate they all marched in and took off their shoes and stepped into the house! OH NO...Adrenaline rush. I rushed into the dining hall and quickly informed my sister that she may need to create space for the guests to sit. My sister’s turn to “Oh No” though her reaction was bigger: What??? But I’m underdressed and eating my noodles! WTH! *rushes into kitchen to hide with her noodles*
I stood in the middle of the dining hall eying them cautiously as they enter.
Matthew: * pass me bags containing food* Here.
Me: What’s this?
Matthew: Cendol and Laksa (actually it was rojak)
Me: Who is it for?
Matthew: You?
Boss: *stands infront of Mathew* Eh...no. Matthew got the wrong information. The food is for us.
Me: *confused* Is the food for me or what?
Boss: Us.
Me: Have you eaten?
Boss: No.
Me: *still confused* Ok....have you eaten?? *the background seemed chaotic at that moment since my grandpa woke and introductions were made or...more confusion was made*
Boss: No.
Me: Ok...
Then finally it hit me...ARGH!!! THEY CAME TO MY HOUSE TO EAT THEIR FOOD!!! GAH!!!
So my aunt and me tried to prepare the food for them in a hasty and confused manner while my sister was shooting ridiculous questions at me:
Sis: Eh...the tall guy like you ah?
Me: No. He has a wife la! *meant my boss*
Sis: Eh...no la. I was talking about the younger chap. (she was talking about Matthew)
Me: What?? No la. @@ Why are you asking me such things la??
Sis: No la I though he does mah. *giggling*
Me: *was also laughing thanks to the already existing confusion and my sister’s nonsense* Eh! Stop laughing la! *trying not to shake the bowls half full of Cendol I was carrying out of the kitchen*
Finally, after the food was settled. I shifted my accusing stare and finger at those three....
Me: Which one of you came up with the idea to come here?
They just looked comically at each other and of course...it was obvious. It was...MY BOSS. *groans* I gave them a warning of 15minutes and they should leave after that as I needed to go out already. So why did they come? Because they had 30minutes to spare in between assignments. = =’ll My house became a lepak place... After 5 minutes, they left. Good riddance. I just couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry the whole time.
However, I’m grateful that they dropped by no matter how inconvenient it was. It was a funny episode. Hahaha! Thank you! And sorry for halau’ing you all. xD Poor Ms Oon looked so uncomfortable. XD
The last few days have been rainy but the cool weather helps from other hot days. Makes one rather lazy actually, be it at home or at work. One would not want to get up for the day's work (actually, I'd just been sleeping late. Hahaha! Didn't even notice the rain until I got out of the room) nor do much brainstorming assignments during office hours (besides, it's end of the week and holidays! >p). Well, it's rather nice so far.
To add to it, after work I decided to sit down with the office lady for a drink while she waits for her husband to arrive at the train station. Normally, I would just rush back home and her husband arrives on time. The chitchat was mainly her part. I just did the listening and random acknowledgments, not to leave out the food of course. =p (Odd...the egg tart had a gelatin layer on the top. Oo)
Heard her talking about her experiences in school and social work. Quite interesting that a lady like her actually been manage to enjoy so many events though she seems to lead such a simple life. Well..it's an ordinary life of course, but somehow...it's like watching a movie of someone's life..or the synopsis at least. Hahahah! Made me think about my true view on helping people. Ah yes, helping people. A mute man came over to our table to sell handcrafts made by disables. Got something really pretty for my aunt. Better remember to hand it to her. =p (*go presents it to her, comes back* T.T it got rejected. Next, try my mom. xp)
Soon it was time to go back. Took the LRT and spent my time reading again. (Nowadays I try as much to find free time to read or my pile of books would never decrease. >.<) It was all very passive in a way. Passive as in...it felt like an ordinary day where you go to work, spend time travelling to and fro, reach home and etc. So you end up not experiencing your surroundings much. But a little cat just helped changed that. Was walking out to the bus stand to wait for my pickup (uncle =p) when I saw it laying on the floor nicely. Seeing it just lighten myself instantly although it was merely a picture of a cute cat.
Then I took a seat at the stand. Just begin to notice things. The people around me. An MPV full of children and few adults taking to for a trip balik kampung or something. Didn't manage to count how many kids. But I do wonder if they all belong to that ONE couple. @@ Noticed the odd looking structure that is destined to be a house. The light above me wasn't working and the lady beside me had difficulty reading, but I couldn't see where the switch may be. How a girl waved from the car and calling out to her friends to wait a little further up. At that moment...I felt like Forest Gump! (Or at least the way I sat made me feel so. I had my briefcase in replacement of the box of chocolates. xD)
This little moment at the bus stand made my innards feel fuzzy. Just out of something so simple and ordinary.
