A new bubble tea shop just opened near my office. Due to the rainy weather, I was craving for a cup of hot soya bean milk. Just so happened that I walked passed this new shop and saw their big signage saying "Soya Bean available!" I smiled to myself thinking it's my lucky day! To top it off, they are selling my favourite waffles!! (Those that are normally found at the traditional bakeries...) Happily I ordered my soya milk and plain waffle. I was a bit disappointed with their service as they weren't wearing a welcoming smile and they are so inexperienced in the way they pack the drinks and make the waffles. I have to wait quite awhile for my orders :(

My 'a little bit of disappointment' grew to 'very disappointed' when I tasted the waffle and soya milk. I only took 2 slips and I decided to forgo the drink. It taste weird and the soya milk is semi solidified to soya bean curd! Up till this stage, I wasn't harbouring any positive hopes towards the waffle. Just as I expected, the waffle is too thick and taste 'floury' :( :(

The lousy first impression of the shop wasn't the main point of this entry. It just serves as an introduction to what I'm going to write about :P With reference to my entry yesterday on writing in standard English, I came across this blog while eating the awful waffle.

It's quite interesting, do take some time to read it :) The main message they are trying to bring across is about the same as what I have had written, but in a more professional way.

While writing this entry, an ex-colleague called and brightened my gloomy Monday :D It's his first day of work at MOM. He called me at my office number and looked for the girl in pretty dress *blush* I stunned for awhile wondering who is it and why this person would know I'm in my new dress?? He's the nice chap who always noticed my new dresses. Most of the time, I got compliments from him. Only once he comment that that dress makes me looks fat. Now I think twice about wearing that dress. Haha. Thanks Yus, for making me smile today :)
