Desperate for dinner

Blogging twice in a day can either mean I'm too bored, or I have too many things happening in a day. Well, i guess it's all of the above.

Woke up late this morning n wanted to swim, but the water was too cold so i went back to my room. Although i have a driver for the entire weekend, i just didn't feel like going anywhere. Yet cos i was so bored, i went to the client's place n started working till 6pm. I was quite hungry n decided to go look for dinner.

I had a list of restaurants that i wanted to go to. Good food tends to cheer me up when i'm in some depressing place. When i got there at around 6.30pm, they were closed. They only open for dinner at 7.30pm. I can't sit around and wait when i'm famished, especially since i had my gastrics attack last nite. So i headed to another place, just to realise they were finishing up with their high tea buffet. Hello, it's like 7pm lor! What high tea???

I finally found a place that was open at 7pm. It was fully booked, but everyone was only arriving at 8.30pm. I told them i'll definitely finish n be out of there by then, so i was allowed in. True enough, i was the ONLY person eating dinner there. No wonder those indians have a huge tummy lah.. eat so late!

It was a jap restaurant in taj mahal palace hotel n everything was like damn expensive lor. I had my most expensive green tea there... SGD 10!! I was so tempted to order the fatty tuna, but i just couldn't bring myself to pay SGD 20 for ONE piece of fatty tuna sashimi lor.

Anyway, i still had a lot of sushi since it's on client's account. When people started streaming in at 7.45pm, i decided to get the bill. Then they told me my credit card was being declined. I was like "SHIT!" cos i have no cash n i was banging on my credit card to be accepted everywhere for everything! They tried a few times, but it was consistently declined. I called the bank immediately (lucky i have auto-roaming on my phone) n confirmed that the clowns in mumbai had keyed in the wrong pin. My card was perfectly fine. I told them what pin to key in n it worked. PHEW!

During the whole process of panic, i was consulting peiqi for advice n she had nothing but useless suggestions, including wash dishes. Sometimes i wonder if i'd rather she not say anything at all... But i guess some entertainment is still good (i'm only saying this cos i know she reads my blog... hahaha).
