Yeah! My boy's cafe is finally opened yesterday. I was there from 4.30pm, all the way till nearly 2am!!...Did some waitressing over there, coz there were so many ppl and we were quite shorthanded. Helped to wash the cups, blender, plates, teaspoon etc etc. Fortunatley, Ryan's gf was there to help out as well and heard tat she was there since 10am!! Unlike me, tink I was still in dreamland at 10am!! ahaha...Nah! I reckoned tat I'll be redundant since there won't be much ppl there in the aftnn anyway. Okok...I'm juz lazy!!...hee...but glad tat I went in ard 4pm, coz they were saying it was damn freaking hot in the aftnn!! Heng ah!! managed to siam away from the scorching heat!! heh heh!!

Anyway, they were quite angry when I arrived. Not becoz I was late in gg down, but coz of Desmond, 1 of their partners. Apparently he wasn't happy over some stuffs the previous night and he went hm sulking. Then when they tried to contact him yest morning, which is the day of their opening, he was nowhere to be found. He was simply MIA!!! They suspected it could be due to the conflict the previous night but did not wan to jump to conclusion. My boy was quite worried....afraid tat he may have met with accident or something, but we juz keep our fingers crossed. Call him oso neber pick up, then he neber go work oso, until finally at around 5+, Jolene managed to contact him. Heard from her tat he gave a tired voice and gave some excuses then said tat he'll go down at night! Damn!!...the whole world is slogging in the cafe and there u are, gibing lame excuses!! Mind You!! Its not as if U dun hab a share in the business ok!!!...Tink he's too petty liao lah!! Anyway, my boy and his other partners not so happy abt it lah, but they tried to brush it off first. After all, it's the 1st day of business, so dun wan any conflicts.

Oh, I tried on the Nestle Brownies. So Delicious!! *Yum Yum*...but a bit sweet lah. Tink brownies are like tat. I remember once I went to NYDC with sis and Miss Clara, the brownies is oso very sweet...and we even had ice-cream on it!! Gosh! So sinful manz! Back to the cafe...I contributed $10, coz they decided not to charge for food and drinks. A token will be fine. At first I wana pay for the exact amt for the food and drinks which is mayb ard $3, but upon seeing all the 10 notes inside, feel a bit pai sei throw in a purple coloured wan...so end up rugi $7!! ahahaha...ok, I'm quite neow!!

After my sinful dose of rich brownies, me went carrefour with boy to stock up on some stuffs, coz not enough of Vanilla Ice-Cream, Bananas and Strawberries for Smoothies. At first we went to Kallang Leisure Park, but realised tat the whole place "collapse" liao...like ghost town. Tink there no biz lah. So bo bianz, nearest will be Suntec. While waiting for my boy to go toilet and do his business, I pop into this flower shop. Saw tat the flowers are Sooooo pretty. Decided to get a bouquet for my darling sis. Coz Valentine's Day is over, so the price of flowers dropped a bit lah. I got her a big sunflower with some other nice flowers around. Ok, maybe I shld take a pic of it and post it up lata if I got nothing beta to do!...But it's really pretty lah.

We went back to the cafe around 7+ coz of the bloody jam on ECP. Luckily we exit fort road...coz the massive jam is all the way until Marine Parade!! Phew! Then it's back to work. Ppl start cuming in shortly aft we went back. My boy's frens, his partner's family and frens, my parents, his parents, everyone's parents! ahahaha....But the place still haven really gain awareness yet lah, coz mostly is our own ppl and frens, no "fresh" walk-in thou. So there I was, entertaining my boy's frens since he so busy blending and making kopi...then at times I'll pop into the kitchen area and help wash the dishes lor. Cheap Labour!! No no...shld be FREE LABOUR!! ahahha

Oh!!!...but got something quite suay happened. Duno izzit a bad Omen!! PPl who are reading tis, in future if anyone of u out there wans to order flowers/gifts, PLEASE DO NOT ORDER FROM NOEL!! I REPEAT MYSELF, DO NOT ORDER FROM NOEL!!!!! PLS BOYCOTT THEM! ok...wat happens is tat, Desmond's frens ordered flowers to congratulate him. Guess wat the Noel ppl send to the cafe??...A Big Word of CONDOLENCES!!! Kaoz!! such mistake canot be pardoned!...Funny thing is, we oso neber realised the mistake when signing it, coz the flowers looks normal. Tink it was only at nite, someone spotted it. Desmond immediately called his fren and told him abt it. By tis time, someone got so angry and broke the Condolences word into 1/2 liao! Wanted to throw into dustbin, but they decided to keep it as evidence and sue Noel! Desmond's fren came down to collec the evidence and start apologising. But it's not his fault lah...it's Noel's fault. Then came the ultimate! His fren called Noel and complain. Guess wat? The reply from Noel's staff: "You juz take it out lor!!" F**K!! wat kind of attitude is tat manz!! Tats when his fren really decided to pursue the matter and he started calling his lawyer!! Worst still, lata at nite, duno tis grp of mouners went to a corner and started buring the "Da Wu"...those paper house and maid etc. Funny thing is tat we dun see any funeral wake around. Of all places, they choose to burn it in Kallang Carpark! Kaoz!! Really bad bad sign!! Haiz...but wat to do. Then they on the music loud loud to "cover" the sound from the monk's chanting and the ringing of his bell. So suai!! But aft tat, my boy and I made a joke out of it. We were tinking scully the "Congrates" words end up on the Flowers for the deceased family!! And it also says "All the Best"!! ahhaha...tink Noel sure kana sue until bankrupt!

The crowd starts to disperse at aound 11+. After all, its a weekday, ppl still need to work. But got 1 table still happily sit there till 1am. So waited for them to leave before we packed up. By the time everything is done, oredi 2+am liao. Lucky traffic was quite smooth at tis hr, so got hm quite fast. Duno how I still got the energy, started gossiping with my boy until nearly 4am then sleep! We came to a conclusion. It muz a retribution for Desmond for treating his business and partners in such sucky manner, so tats y he receive a condolences! ahaha...ya, we are mean ppl, but can't blame us for saying tat. C'mon, we're all adults...shld not behave like kids. My boy did ask him, but he tried to brush the matter off and sweep it under the carpet. And throughout the period he came, he was hiding in 1 corner, with his own family and frens and not bothering to help out at all! It was only lata on mayb he feel pai sei then he start "appearing" in the kitchen!...ANyway, tink my boy is gona hab a good tok with him today. Hope they dun end up throwing parangs and knifes at each other! ahahha

Hmm...tink tonite gg down offer free labour again! ahaha... good way to exercise and slim down manz! :)
