Strumming Some Heartstrings

I haven’t gone disappearing into the thin air… I’m still alive and kicking. LOL!! Oh well, I’m just making myself a lot more busy than usual by going out often with Wandee and friends, else I would be hanging around my Dummy! =p

So instead of cooping my-self at home, meeting Wandee and friends out is so much a better choice. Been out for movies, window shopping at Cwp, Ikea and Bugis or out for meals together…

Over the week, I had been eating good food, it might not be good enough for you people but its good enough for me. I can’t remember which night that my Dummy brought me out to eat Stingray and Satay for supper… Wednesday night to some Beer Station to had some western food for dinner with Dummy and his friends (the place is really beautiful at night)… then on last Thursday noon (I supposed) had Seoul Garden with Wandee… and on last Friday night was out with Dummy, his family and relatives to Tung Lok, some Chinese Restaurant located at Katong for ala carte buffet dinner that cost us $55 per pax. Though we had like fresh fish and prawns, scallops with XO sauce, shark fin’s soup, Beijing roasted duck… etc… but my heart was tearing. :’(

Not that I have never eaten such expensive food in my life but at such point of time where-by money mean so much to me and Dummy. I heartache for the hard-earned money earned by Dummy had to fly away… I didn’t really feel like tagging along cause I know I won’t able to eat much of the food but Dummy say its for advance Mother’s Day celebration for his mom and grandma, I cannot say “No” to it. What’s more it’s to good food. =x

As for Saturday night, Dummy accompanied me home to celebrate my mommy’s birthday together with my family. Again, had good food, there was shark fin’s soup, fried fish with Thai-sauce… etc… but the food doesn’t taste nice at all. So we ate a bit and went to buy pizzas home to eat. Swesen’s strawberry ice-cream cake for my mommy and that’s all for that night.

And for last night, Carmen treated me for Durian (Thanks Carmen, oh did I mentioned, she treated me to the movies too). Seriously, I had never had such expensive durian before and I felt cheated by the durian seller.

It was those Styrofoam packed durian and on the box wrote $25 per box with the origin of the durian on it. Upon seeing the price, I didn’t want to buy it because its way too expensive for me… but then the durian seller told me he will give me discount price $10 per box. So I thought it wasn’t very bad. Then the durian seller starts his sales tactics by pushing me and Carmen to buy the remaining 5 box of durians for him but I told him it’s too much for us as there are only 2 of us eating, so he suggested 3 boxes. We didn’t take his offer and ask for 2 boxes only, so he said ok… but he packed 3 boxes for us and ask me for $60!!

I was like what the… heck is this. I told him off by telling him I had never had such expensive durians and always will stick to those cheap cheap $2 kinds. Then he said this is different… blah blah blah. We argued and he asks for $10 lesser this time. I cannot be bothered so much and told him that I don’t have that much money with me and I am only left with $20. As Carmen mentioned that she left only $7 in her wallet and that the freaking durian seller happen to see some notes sticking out of my purse… he ask us for $35. And I told him off again… “Eh, I still need to travel home later lei, I don’t live nearby. Cannot be you ask me to give you all my money and ask me to walk home later what.”

So this time he gave up and ask us for $27 and packed us only 2 box of durians. Paid him and off we go… feeling so mad that I was fuming. Why on earth is there such kind of person that die die want to squeeze dry your money for their own benefit?! Where’s their job professionalism?! I know you people must be thinking I’m insane. Because I am actually talking about professionalism with a durian seller?! HA! But correct what… the Earth is always advancing and people are always upgrading themselves ma. And even if I remove the word professionalism, doesn’t he have a heart?! ASS!!

He still freaking dare to ask me to buy durians from him in the future. NO WAY MAN! I rather go else where to buy.

Was discussing on the durian seller topic with Wandee and Huiling after we bought the durians and Huiling was asking me… why didn’t I just reject to it?! Don’t buy since it’s so expensive… I was like “Ya hor, why didn’t I think of it?!” >.<’’’ where have my ‘smartness’ gone to ah?!

And then Wandee was asking us why are the both of us so stupid, cause behind us the auntie was shouting “Durians, 4 for $10, 4 for $10!!” >.<’’’ Argh! At that moment, I so wished to refund it! But fat-hopes lar! The durian seller where will so stupid to refund us our money.

While eating the durian, Huiling then add on that it must be the expensive type of durian that he sell us… that’s why so expensive. My mind was like… “Lao-niang didn’t want to eat such expensive durian, normal, cheap ones will do!” What’s more those durians was packed in Styrofoam box, how on earth are we supposed to know if its origin is really from the 2nd best durian field in Malaysia?! He can just take else where durian to fake us what. After all we all know nuts about durians besides eating it. X=

So anyway, end my story of that freaking durian seller…. Here are the pics I had while we went to the Beer Station for Western food and while eating at Seoul Garden. The rest of the outings, pics are not available because I was too lazy. X=
