I don't know why, but people can't seem to take orders well these days. How are these outlets actually hiring? If they can't even take a simple order of Coke, how are they ever going to bring me shoes in the right sizes?
"Give me a coke." I ordered.
"Diet coke?' She replied
"Just coke."
"Diet or regular." She asked again, and it was getting on my nerves.
I've been walking ALL day, late for my manicure, carrying an oversized bag and under the insane afternoon sun, and all this in heels no less.
"I want just the normal coke."
"So regular coke?"
"If that's what you call it here, then yes!"

Per Entry Charge
"You got to top up your cashcard before you go in." I said,
Jules ignored me entirely. His card was already beeping all the way since we passed the ERP thingy.
"Jules! You can't go in like that!" I yelled,
"Why not?" He responded
"Jules, it says per entry charges. How are you going to go in if you have not enough money left on the card?"
Jules, ignored me and drop straight through. The barrier lifted magically and we got in.
"They deducted already? I thought you said you didn't have enough money in the card?"
"You only pay when you exit!" Jules replied.
"But it says PER ENTRY CHARGE!"

Buying a toaster
I'm a Jack-in-a-box I know, or I much rather prefer the metaphoric representation of the Birthday cake surprise girl, minus the bikini or body hugging latex. Thanks for all the concerned emails, which I believe I have replied everyone diligently. I write and run :)
No, I'm not dead or sold to Cambodia. No, I'm not secretly married to some investment banker (but that is a nice thought) and no, I haven't been THAT busy shopping I forgot I have a blog.
I just, well didn't think I had very much to write.
I went shopping with this girlfriend of mine, Jessie, the other day cos she wanted to buy some household appliances for her absolute pig of a boyfriend who looks like he doesn't have a life outside his living room couch. She wanted to buy him a toaster because there was this tiny fully chromed one that she thought would blend in perfectly to the kitchen. Additionally, she's been awfully inspired by Yakun Toast after one eventful Tuesday morning breakfast.
"I'll get him the toaster" she said,
"Why do you need a toaster for? Isn't it a waste of money?" I replied
"No it isn't. Plus I think it looks pretty."
"Silver really isn't my thing, but don't you think this is a little impractical?"
"Impractical? Mylene, it's a toaster. It's job is to toast."
"Yea but, all it does is just toast. Don't you think you should get something that toast and does other stuff as well.." I argued,
"Like?"
"Like, a Mircowave?!"
Was I wrong?
