Dear blog,
there are times in life when some people just enforces the way of thinking that you have. In this instance, it is the way i feel about indians and i have to admit that i have been quite vocal with my violent disapprovals on their race but after today the bad blood between me and them will be sown in my heart forever. The 'Globally-Famous' Singapore's Indian Women Association kind of reserved the whole restaurant for a private function during lunch time. They reserved for 70 Pax but in the end 76 people turned up, so it was full house. The Association is so damn 'FAMOUS' that the president deemed it acceptable for her to saunter into the restaurant and start ordering people around. Lady, we are employees not your slaves, you can't expect us to be at your beck and call when we have so many other things to do. She even complained that she did not want so many ice in the glasses for the soft drinks, citing the reason that there will be less liquid in the glasses. Come on! The soft drinks were damn freaking FREE FLOW! Don't you understand what is the meaning of free flow? You can always have more if you do not have enough! Next up would be that the service is too slow. All of us were busy serving food to everyone, there was so much food to be served. Everytime i stepped out of the kitchen, more than 5 people will raise their hand and say, "Can you give me this? Can you give me that?". When the request was done about 10 minutes later, they have so many wonderful comments about the speed of my service. Thank you, i take every single one of them as a compliment. I mean i was taking out all the food, i have to make sure every table is served before i can attend to individual requests. Isn't this common sense? Why am i bothering to explain anyway? The incident during the end was really the coupe de grace. When paying up, they said that 71 people turned up but the extra one did not eat anything. In the 1st place, how would we know if that person did not eat? If you were so sure she did not eat, shouldn't you tell us in the 1st place? And secondly, we counted 76 and now you say 71?..You are from an association, don't all of you know any Public Relations skills?

I had the final laugh though, added something extra into the president's food. Take that you asshole!

On a lighter note, i want to try on the reverse bungy jump at clarke quay. It looks fun when i walked past it today. But its 30 bucks per ride..george says he may be able to get a free ride for me, well i hope he does cuz i really wanna try it.


"They say, 'Time heals all wounds.' If that is true, then I guess mine go deeper than pain. There are no words to choose over losing you. I guess I found out too late, and now all I feel is heartbreak that only hurts when I breathe."
