Last nite...

Ben's finally back from reservist! Yes! Many great things happened during this reservist - his safety, talking on the phone in the wee hours of the morning like silly teenagers in love and then refusing to put down the phone, rain (becoz of that, the exercise was called off and he could go back camp to charge his phone!!), my productivity boost (yeah! I'm back in business! No longer an ultra sluggish cow... heheh) and a renewed relationship! :D All that constant praying does wonders for the relationship I must say... each time I looked out the window and saw the heavy grey clouds, I would really pray for his safety, and also pray that there'll not be any freak lightnings in open ground. (My bro almost got hit once!)

Didn't watch Singapore Idol last nite, went out for dinner with Ben and Abby instead at Jack's Place. Ben was extremely disappointed with their level of professionalism and service. We were seated next to a serving station in a corner (thought we'd haf some privacy so I could nurse whenever) but to our disappointment, the auntie waitresses and manager was gossiping, talking pretty loudly, slamming drawers and making sure their cutlery clunked the loudest WHILE ABBY WAS ASLEEP. So after a very loud CLUNK, Abby woke up and we stared at the waitress. She came over and COOED at Abby, asking, "Oh, she woke up alredi uh? So cute hor, sleep how long alredi? Blah, blah, blah..." while we told her a couple of times it was SHE who woke the baby up, and that the baby was supposed to be ASLEEP. Gosh. Some people are just real dense. And we weren't smiling.

As for their gossiping, a non-Chinese manager had to come over, look them straight in the eye and say "Eh, no gossiping." The Chinese Gossiping Manager laughed, and the other Chinese Gossiping Waitress was like, "HARRH? What he say uh?" "No gossiping." "Gossiping? *Gibberish* *Gibberish* *Gibberish*" (In some Taiwanese/Chinese dialect.) It was indeed Jack's MisPlace and more of Jack's Taiwanese Restaurant.

I had venison medellion and some scallop thingey which looked suspiciously like mussels on scallop shell... well, I've seen scallops in their 'original packaging' before when I was in Australia, and last nite's dinner didn't resemble scallop one bit. :S Oh well...

So the feedback time came. We were pretty upset by the whole dining experience (they handled the billing badly too...) that we gave our feedback. While Ben was writing on the Comment Card, the Chinese Gossiping Manager tried to make amends but sarkaring* Ben. Well, For the comments section, he was pretty objective about it. I shan't comment about his comment any further. Hm.

Should've just gotten take-away and go home watch SI instead. :P Abby would've gotten better rest. Well, we kicked the dust off the sandals of our feet and vowed never to return to that outlet.

*Sarkaring means bootlicking
