Long Hot Summer Days at East Coast Park! If you frequent this area often enough, you should know how it's like to walk from parkwayparade to lagoon! YES! And 4 victims namely; Xueping, Birdie, Johnny and myself were involved in this course. This fateful day was due to a "thought".
5.30pm
Xueping : I "thought" it will not take us long to travel to lagoon from East Coast Park? (Yes, it won't take long if we are at the other end..)
Johnny and Birdie : No leh, I "thought" quite far one?
ME : Sigh..
30 minutes later..
Xueping : We are reachin soon right?
Johnny : After a pond i guess
Xueping : So is this the pond? (Apparently the whole of EastCoast is surrounded by water)
Johnny : Oh yeah! This is a pond.. but there is one more in front..
ME : Sigh..
15 minutes later..
Xueping : This must be the pond we are looking for!
Birdie : Hello! We are having dinner! Not the pond!
ME : SIGH..
Xueping : But I "thought"..
Birdie; Johnny; ME : SIGH!!
(The story as above is being edited for better effects)
45mins of unintentional exercise left us dehydrated and famished! It is really a miracle since we arrived at our destination, Lagoon! Don't you agee? In fact, you can say im the most fortunate survivor of them as i surprisingly had 2 meals before meeting them! God Bless!
Legs wobbly, tongues sticking out and panting madly, we dragged ourselves into "Lagoon", hopefully to find a seat. The only thing that caught our attention is a vacant table, filled with all the hopes and glory, our eyes were glued intensely to the table as we continued dragging our heavy feet to the table. Just when we thought that the table belong to us, every glimmer of hope shattered when this lady in her 40s, clothed in black dress, brown handbag hanging by her small shoulders and huge spectacles slithered past us and occupied the table. She was obviously aware about us! It was infuriating! But what can we do?
There are a number of things we could have done at the point in time :
1) Trip her as she walk past
2) Run towards the table like some demons! (Amen!)
3) Throw the seat along with her
4) Walk away and look for the scarcely available seats all over again
Being the kind and lovely 4 we are, we gladly chose option 4. (How I wished the other alternatives could be implemented as well)
The next thing I know, Johnny and I are already queue-ing for satay beehoon. However, Xueping came and took my place soon after, so I can buy stingray and cockles with Birdie! We had a sumptous dinner which we had to queue for 30mins!
Afterall, today was a memorable day! The long awaiting and shrewd lady will never be forgotten! -.- Honestly, Xueping, Johnny and Birdie really brighten up my day! Can't wait to go out with you guys again! Once again, special thanks to Xueping!kidding! =P
