Boo-boo

I woke up at 7:30am this morning and really had the urge to call in sick today. I was just too tired and I really didn't feel like getting out of my bed. But thinking that today is Friday, I thought, "Oh, what the fuck. Just go to office and nua lar."

Upon reaching the office, I realized that the customer would be going for a seminar in the later half of the day. All right! No one will be around and I can just laze my afternoon away. Heng ah, never waste my off-day today.

I had lunch alone just now (again...). Lunching alone in town can be very expensive for me. I don't know why, but when I lunch alone, I always end up at cafes, rather than foodcourts. Maybe becoz I just wanna finish my lunch, then take a fag, drink a cup of coffee and read the Newpaper. So I ended up at Delifrance.

I went up to the counter, and I saw 2 queues, one to the right, another to the left. (Refer to diagram below, the blue squares are cash registers) I took a look at the counter and I decided to join the queue on the right. The reason for me joining the queue on the right is because I am always not good with the names of the breads at Delifrance, and I saw that the breads are on the right side. So I thought I could just point to the bread that I want when the waiteress ask me which bread I prefer. I think the best I can speak out is "Crossiant".

After about a minute of waiting, the waiteress came and asked the ang moh lady in fron of me for her orders. Before the lady could place her orders, the waiteress walked off and talked to the other waiteress about some cash issues. While the waiteress was away, the lady suddenly turned to me and said "Well, you can have your orders first".

I was like "huh?" I thought she hadn't make up her mind on what to eat so I just said "OK". The waiteress came back, and this time she just asked for my order. I ordered the set lunch and then the waiteress said "Ok please proceed to your left"

OMG... I have just cut into the middle of a queue without realising it. I kept apologizing to the ang moh lady and she smile and said "It's ok. No problem. Go on". Luckily the 2 more customers at the back were talking and did not realise some idiot had cut the queue. I was so embarassed throughout my lunch because the lady later sat in front of me, facing in my direction somemore. Luckily, her husband came shortly and blocked me off from her view. I bet she must be telling her husband "See that lanky guy there? Stupid fucker, cut my queue." Hahaha.

Well, unsurprisingly, I had crossiant for bread. And by the way, why the fuck are there 2 cash registers in opposite directions where there is only 1 queue???
