Jo-Ya-Deb-Phy-Lt-Poffy

all in the name of guilt :)

Just to update since i'm stuck in the office, bored and lonely *sob*-

Jo, Phy, Pof, Ya n me, met on tuesday for dinner at pepper lunch and drinks/dessert at the Balcony (heeren). and we're meeting again to celebrate Phy's bdae on saturday with good ol' Seafood! haha.. driver deb will be fetching everyone from bedok/expo to ECP. if only LT was here to share the prawns yar?

back to tuesday, post-foodies was more eventful than would have been expected.
so the story goes:

there we were, going back home on separate ways - Pof and Ya headed for the MRT while lazy me, Phy and a tummy-ached Jo planned to try for a cab at Mandarin hotel.

then Jo's tummy cldn't wait and she was off to Mandarin's toilet while Phy and i admired the long taxi queue and thought Paragon might be a better taxi location. so there we were at Paragon, only to our dismay, the taxi wait was an hour plus (obviously longer than the train ride home), no doubt fun-filled with jokes and riddles sponsored by us trio, but an hour was long enough. after seeing taxis zoom in the main roads past us a few times, we thought we might as well split up and queue both inside and on the main road. But a sudden dash to queue outside of the queue got us a cabbie desperate for time -

uncle said: "where you going?"

phy and me: "to East, Bedok"

Uncle said: "ok"

hurried waves to Jo, sent her running to the cab, and we happily boarded before declaring

"uncle, 3 places, but all in bedok - bedok reservoir, bedok north, and bedok south"

uncle shocked: "huh? three places? never say earlier, i'm rushing for time!" (quote maybe inaccurate but elements are true)

and awkward silence took over while the trio contemplate switching cabs and alighting earlier... all in the name of guilt.

phy to deb: "how? should we get another cab?"

deb: "erm..but how?"

while we drifted onto the expressway, more awkward silence.

fortunately, we all arrived safely back home, luckily in one piece while the impatient driver zoomed and braked consistently throughout the journey.

so here, "sorry uncle for the extra time". luckily saturday's outing will not give chance to a taxi and a long taxi queue.
