lazy day

yesterday was, according to shisi, a lazy day. when was the last time i had one of those? i can't remember, and it's not because i have a poor memory.

finally, our vacation hath arrived! a trip back to school to submit our internship logbooks (otherwise we cannot graduate) and then to lunch. after lunch means we nua at any restaurant we had proceeded to. yesterday's choice was cafe cartel.

it's been long since i've taken the train to dover, while i had once gotten used to the 17-stops journey, it had somehow seemed much much longer yesterday! by the time i reached outram i was ready to tear my hair out, so boring!

if you're a regular train rider, i think you'd have noticed the subway advertisements that look like the train's route map. it's supposed to show where each subway restaurant is located cos there's this promotion thing they're having. so this middle-aged passenger boarded the train, chose a seat, put on her glasses and scrutinizes the subway ad as if that was the actual route map.

i didn't think any of it at first, until she began to look confused, perhaps the stop she was going to wasn't on the map (because it isn't the real map). at this point, i couldn't help myself, i laughed. you have to be there to see her expression, she looked so puzzled! but upon hearing my laugh (oops), she whirled around,

"are you laughing at me?"

"urm, er, the actual route map is this one (points), that is a restaurant advertisement."

she squinted and stared furiously at the panel i pointed to,

"oh! thank you."

there. she's forgotten all about me laughing (unconsciously) at her. hah.

    she's not an elderly... in fact, she's just triple l's age, thereabout.

    subway's promotion is to eat three meals at three different outlets in exchange for a free meal of your choice. you need to get the specific card for that.

    Seriously, one of these days you're going to get whacked up. Can you at least am chio and not make your laughs so obviously audible? That goes for complains, mutter under your breath.
