Chocolate and caramel please?

Our country is filled by much foreign talent. From our table tennis player who cant even hold the flag well, to the filipino managers serving Waffles at Galare.

We were at Lucky plaza, the cross roads of filipino maids and their indian boyfriends.

Being thirsty, we wanted to buy bubble tea.

My husband asked,"Which flavour is nice?"

I answered,"Chocolate caramel."

"Do you have chocolate caramel?" He asked the server who had a strong accent from China.

"Yes we have caramel."

After some pouring and shaking and packaging....

"Dear, how come the caramel is orange in colour?"

I asked the strong accented lady," Hey is this chocolate caramel?"

She says," No chocolate, its carrot melk."

To my horror,"What?! i asked for caramel. Not carrot milk!"

Horror horror," Yah, its carrot melk."

Foreign talent?

I know its cheap to hire these foreign workers. But shouldnt they be sent for some basic english classes?

e.g. Green Tea, Caramel, Chocolate Milk

And have you experienced getting change from a filipino accented server?

"Bor pipty, please."

Huh?!!

"Pardon me?"

"Bor pipty."

In case you have out figured out, its $4.50

I look at it this way. Save money on hiring them, spend money on training them. Or lose money on driving customers away

More to say

Who says you cant have more than 1 blog entry a day?!

I am bored and its friday. The clock is ticking by the seconds.

I did some blog reading and realise that it is truly a luxury to create your life into words and sharing yourself to the world.

Even if no one reads it, i smile when i look back at the past entries.

If you say your blog can summarise the person that you are,

what does my blog say about me?

Cougars and the devil

I dragged myself to work on a friday morning. Work up at 8am when work starts at 830am. Nelly says when i walked into the office," Hey its friday. Cheer up"

Remembering that i had to pay Taylor back for yesterday's farewell lunch. We went pizza hut with 18 people.

She came up and tell me i've got a chance to score points with Mr Moody. Cos he is wearing a new shirt today. He has been planning an outing for months and no successful plans were made so far.

So we came up with a joke that if we were to score points with him, we will be spared from feeling obligated to go on an outing with him.

We turned our focus to Shirley who was reading an article on Cougars (Women who preys on young boys). Leslie who was nearby, joined in the discussion.

He encouraged women now to be cougars. That he has a lady friend who proclaimed that she married her husband for the love and the money. After seeing the same body for 20 years, she is sick of it. She does not care if the husband has a affair outside. But just make sure he comes home everyday.

William adds," Leslie is always polluting the young minds. But its so perfectly imperfect statements."

I said to Leslie,"Oh please we are too young to be cougars. We will be dating babies."

He says,"You can aim for boys 18-19 yrs old."

I said,"Why not Sharon? She is of the right age to be a cougar."

Leslie then says," Oh please, how can she be a cougar. She is like the miss positive in everything. Even if the devil were to appear in front of her one day, she will tell the devil that she still sees the good in him. And its becos of him, we all know the meaning of good and evil."

Hahahahahhahahahah

And Sharon will save the world cos the devil will hang himself after hearing that cos he has failed.

Leslie also went ahead to talk about the special perfume of banglas. Where they stay in Singapore and bring their whole family to visit. And when theres no more space in the house, they squat at the void deck to eat durians.

I pointed out to him that i dont think its becos there no more space. It bcos grass and trees are their favourite hang out areas.

And once when he was in a lift with a filipino maid and an indian baby in a pram...He said this," Oh you little ugly thing."

And the maid was shocked!

Hahhahahaha

Somehow with all these nonsensical conversations, i feel alive to continue my day

When opportunity is right at your door

When a time has come to be released from the grasp of an enchantress,
I have chosen to be molded under her hands.
Actually it was not a choice i took freely,
But the enchantress had hypnotised me into the decisions i make.
I sigh a sigh of mixed feelings.
Happy to have been given a choice to do great things.
And regerts of not choosing to be out of her hands.

I found myself today

While playing detective for a friend, i googled myself in Yahoo and found out that i've created a recipe site in 2004. Amazing.

It reminds me of my love to cook and make people happy with it.

I hope to get my own kitchen soon. So that i can cook and please.

For those interested with my recipes. Click on the link to the left that says,"Yoohoo Yummies"

Time tested beauty tips

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.

Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!
