Couldn't get a damn seat in the LRT at KLCC, so I stood between the door and the glass panel with my eyes closed. "Next station... Pasar Seni.." Opened my eyes when the doors next to me opened. I looked up see the glass reflection on the doors opposite me to see who's coming in la kan... and what do I see??? ABE!!

Wondering if it's real? Then (click here!) to find out. Thanks to Lynnzter for blogging about it. It's my off day today. And I've got French class at 7.30pm later. Doesn't that suck? Having an off day on the day that you have to haul your ass half the way across town after 6pm. I can't even laze around properly. Hehe. Surprisingly, my phone rang not once..

Both the tills were on a 'System Down' mode. Meaning that we had to write out orders manually. Meaning that we had to use a calculator to get the sale amount. + 5% government tax. "..Oooo miss, don't forget that I have a 20% discount, you know!.." *my brains are fried* Our beloved Starbucks District Manager was there too, amongst the commotion.

My dad. After picking me up from work just now at midnight, we arrived home for me to find nice Chinese dinner food leftover by the others on the table. But he just said “I wanna eat your pastries..” and started to open all the pastry bags I brought back. Hahahaha.

Before I left Ampang, Abe called and suggested to meet up at Pyramid coz it was supposedly Stars’ last nite and beers were 50% off.
