Everyone should be quite high morning of monday, since the papers end on that time. Hmmm. Things' been pretty rocky for me this couple of days, friendships and all. And it also brought me to realise how vulnerable things can get, and how superficial things are at times.
Anyway, the kopitiam at Serangoon has apparently hired a new coffee-uncle who was'nt quite sure of things, the drinks and prices. We gave an order of "MiloBing, TehBing, Sprite Ice, and Apple Tea". He said "China apple tea har?". Friend said "APPLE tea" And he said " Then I think dont have." lol
Following on, he took out a small piece on paper, or you may call it a card (phone card size) and checked the prices for everything.
He came back with the drinks, and gave me a "Sprite" instead of "Sprite Ice". So I said "er uncle, mei you Sprite Ice ah?". He replied almost instantly "Huh? Sprite what. You said sprite mah. Then Ice." He looks at the cup of ice that he put down on the table.
Ha ha ha, I guess he must have seen "Sprite Ice" as "Sprite" and a cup of "Ice". Ha.
