Lunch with Becky and Cho

Saturday, October 31, 2009

Occasionally, I get reminded of how old I am, when I suddenly recall out of the blue, things that happened a few years back.

And one recent recollection was lunch time at KA Centre (Kampong Ampat rox!), at the quaint little cafe located on the 1st floor.

Yes, my dear Renotokilians, it's the one that always make us wait an awful long time for our food after the change over in management :(

Anyway if I'm not wrong, the cafe is no longer there.

So one day for lunch, Becky, Cho and I went over to have our lunch. It was some full set thing so dessert was served later after the meal.

I was having the time of my life at that exact moment, happily eating my cake. I forgot which cake was it but it has alot of cream on it.

How do I recall?

Because halfway through the cake, there was a suspicious-looking fly behaving weirdly.

I mean, the fly was flying weirdly.

It was like some drunkard driving, you know? I've happened to witness some drunkards driving before and it was really like that.

And then it flew straight. Into. My. Cake.

I could recall my eyes opened abit wider as I lifted up my fork in mid-air, wondering if I should attempt to rescue it before it drowns in the cream, or just abandon everything together.

When in doubt, ask for advice.

So I said aloud to Becky and Cho, "Eh, there's a fly in my cake."

Before I could continue further to explain what happened, Cho immediately raised up his arm and the guy walked over to see what was it that we wanted.

"There's a fly in her cake!" He said in this accusing tone that I felt bad for the guy.

"Um, never mind lah. It flew into my cake. I mean, I SAW it fly and land in the cake."

The waiter was abit unsure of what the heck I wanted since it technically wasn't the shop's mistake. I think from the point of view of insurance companies, they term it as 'Act of God' or something along the lines of that.

For compensation, I got a replacement of a brownie with a generous scoop of chocolate ice-cream. Ain't life great?

Anyway, the image that stayed fresh in my mind wasn't how the fly landed into my food. It was Cho's very quick reaction to call the waiter before I even had time to say anything else!!
