I had a simple meal at the corner coffeeshop near church today. It’s been a long time since i ate there. The cellgroup wanted to go to Cityhall for lunch… actually only Acorn wanted to and the rest were tagging along but i didn’t want to drive all the way to Cityhall, to do nothing (at least i had nothing to do there), then drive all the way home to change and then back to Fullerton for Whiskeysprite’s wedding. Waste petrol, waste $$ on parking.
So i went to the coffeeshop to makan alone. Had my fave bee tai mak (Hokkien?) aka lou xu fan (Cantonese) dry with black sauce & chilli. Yummy. And only $2! Incredible. It’s been a long time since i had a bowl of noodles that only cost $2!! The lemon tea has increased in price though… from 80cts to $1! That’s like half the price of my noodles lor. Bleah.
After i finished my noodles, i got 2 smses – from Little Matchgal & Chewbacca saying that the cellgroup was going to Siglap Thai Express for lunch. My reply was too late liao lah. I already finished my lunch. Chewbacca asked why i didn’t want to join the cellgroup… and i called to explain why i didn’t want to go to town and back to the east and to town again.
Plus, i’m not the type who’ll insist that the majority does what i want to do. To me, on days that i don’t mind doing what someone else wants to do, e.g. last week when we all went to Parkway ‘cos Acorn wanted to wash his car, i will. But when i have other plans in mind, i won’t influence the group to do what i want either… i operate on a “do what u want” basis. So yeah… that’s me. Some people may interpret this is being offensive? Loner? I don’t think so lah. Just that time is precious and no point wasting time doing things that u don’t want to do.
Took a pic of my simple lunch. Feels good to see that what i used to eat at the coffeeshop 15 years ago is still around. Haha. Same auntie cooking the same good noodles.
Okie… time to do a face mask before going for Whiskeysprite’s wedding. I’m still trying to figure if there’s any way i could catch the start and end of today’s F1 race at Silverstone… hmm…
Go Hammie go!
