Oh What A Sunday!

Sunday is often sort of a bittersweet thing for me.

It still my day off but towards the end of it, annoyance kicks in without fail.

We planned to do justice to our bodies and run the extra mile at the newly opened park near Ampang Point. Have been wanting to go there for weeks but giving up the extra slumber time on weekends was way too big of a sacrifice to make. Last night however, we were really determined to go. Kakak had even planned on what to wear.

Alas, it rained heavily this morning. What a shame (or yehey??).

Got a call by mid-morning from a colleague of mine to say that she saw me in NST for an interview about I*G survey boxes. Did the interview almost a month ago and didn't expect it to be published so soon. -grin-

Headed for CapSquare by mid-day for Times Book Fair. Spent a few hours there with excellent haul as always. I didn't realize CapSquare is so small. Maybe it's bigger than i thought - i didn't actually venture the place that much. Some other time, perhaps.

The kids had their taekwondo class in the afternoon and came back with great news - both passed their tests and can now brand yellow belts with green markings. Both are relieved to not be paying me the 50 quids each. Heheh.

Congratulations to both of you!

To celebrate the joyous occassion, kakak decided to have Johnny's Steamboat for dinner while adik was simply delighted with the idea of eating out. When we got there, the place was full of patrons with a queue to boot. Both of them decided to raid Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa instead and the parents gladly towed behind.

It was a beautiful affair until the waitress decided to spill 2 glasses of drinks on me.

There i was, my jeans soaked (commencing exaggeration) in iced lemon tea and lime syrup. To make it worse, i looked like i peed in my pants. Urgh!

Cleaning and mopping took place and we resumed dinner albeit the incident.

Yes, it was an accident and yes, nobody was hurt except for my poor jeans. I would think that it's only right for the restaurant to at least be generous on the bill. When i had to pay the full amount - which i did, i walked straight to the restaurant owner and gave him a piece of my mind.

It's good enough that i didn't make a scene when the accident happened. It was after all, the waitress' fault. It's probably her first few days on the job but that doesn't take away the fact that she has to be careful when serving drinks. She spilled 2 glasses of drink - both glasses were on the tray that she was balancing while serving a drink to adik, for goodness sake!

So. The guy apologized and told the manager to ensure that i get discounts the next time i'm there. That'll be in a very loooong time, i suppose.

Anyways, it's a lesson learned for everyone.

I didn't get to do the grocery but i did get to tell adik to do the same - stand your ground and don't let anyone walk all over you.

All in all, a good Sunday indeed. Oh well.
