i smell chilli c-R-abS!!!!! :P:P did i tell all of you i polished off about 20black pepper prawns last night? hahaa.

anyway got a little story today to share wahahaha.

setting: the local kopitiam set in food court style complete with air-conditioner.
cast: a guy, a girl, and her family.
time: late afternoon.
mood: lazy.

the girl swept into the deserted kopitiam. she was dressed casually in a blue-green tie-dye batik dress and ladies' sandals. they had all just picked their mom up after work and were planning to go for some snacks. after ordering coffee for everyone the girl sat down and was soon chattering animatedly with her siblings.

the mood was languid in the kopitiam. it was late into the afternoon so there weren't many people in the place and the stall owners looked blankly out from their desolate places, anticipating the dinner hour. there was a guy dressed in red in the char siew rice stall resting his chin on his arm and staring with a vacant expression at the meat infront of him. he had on a black cap and looked clean-shaven. and then, the girl caught his attention.

he was bored stiff. there was little business in that hour and the girl was having so much fun with her family over a simple cup of coffee. he watched her, stood up, chatted with the auntie from the adjacent stall, and watched her.

it wasn't long before tea-time was acknowledged to be over and the girl's daddy stood up, ready to go. her mommy in a hurry to finish her cuppa accidentally dropped the saucer with a loud clang on the formica table-top. the sound was embarrassingly loud and the girl laughed, her sister grinned, and her brother tried to look aloof. the guy, apparently having waited for an opportunity for so long, immediately zeroed in on the mommy's moment of carelessness and announced pseudo-importantly, "orh!! i saw that! ahhhh! (looking around at everyone whose attention he got) i saw that ah! anyhow drop kopi ah! (addressing the coffee-stall owner) ah auntie! one more cuppa kopi!"

the girl looked at him, and he embarrassedly looked away. decidedly focused on the mommy, he addressed her in a vain attempt to unconsciously address the girl, "wah auntie, that's your son?"

mommy answered, "ah yes, that's my son."

"wahh your son so handsome, and your daughter so pretty ah!"

the girl was laughing at the comment about her brother when she heard the reference to herself and she looked bewilderedly at her sister, who was grinning from ear to ear and laughing at her. the girl hurriedly got up and walked over to her daddy, with her siblings, leaving her mommy behind to finish the cuppa.

the guy proceeded to try to know more about the girl and pick her up through the mommy, asking stuff like "wah your daughter really very pretty leh, the one in blue dress, how old is she ah?" and her mommy was so amused she decided to entertain him, saying, "oh she's the eldest! and......--" the girl was so embarrassed and amused she didn't hear the rest. her siblings followed closely behind and didn't hear their conversation either.

from the corner of her eye the girl detected frantic gestures and upon turning she saw the guy waving to her and making a "call-me"gesture and then doing both simultaneously. it was such a ridiculous episode that the girl started laughing again and waved back in reciprocity.

hahahahahahaha!
ok that's the end of the story. :P entertaining for you wasn't it! :P:P *grinz*
