:::: [what?! ]::::
oh my gosh. the number of embarassing things that can happen to me when i go out for dinner. I was at Bukit panjang's food court and I was looking at the menu at the "Hand-made noodles" stall. I actually wanted to order "yu mian" but the only thing closest to "yu-mian" was Big Prawn yu mian. When I saw that, I was thinking to myself: "hmm.. I wonder how big the prawn really is, well, i guess i'll know soon enough. No harm trying". With that, I ordered "Big Prawn" yu-mian. When I saw the prawn that was being prepared to be cooked, again I thought to myself : "wow! it really is big. IT'S LIKE THE BIGGEST PRAWN I'VE EVER SEEN, i can't wait to eat it"
During dinner, I saved the prawns to the last and only concentrated for the time-being on the noodles, mushroom, veg, meat and egg (yummy). It was at that moment that I noticed a teenager infont of me eating an identical prawn. I suddenly got the crazy idea that my prawn could have flown from my bowl to the guy's plate and he was eating it. I even checked to make sure I had two prawns in my bowl :P The guy was like so different from me, one leg was propped on the other's knee, he looked like a little gangster( i know i can't judge, sorry just describing) and he was carefully peeling the prawn with a fork and spoon. I was thinking: my gosh! i'm going to be so embarassed when I eat the prawn coz being the person that i am, I would just peel the prawn's shell with my bare hands (who cares?). I'm a girl! aren't girls supposed to be more gentle? when I saw the guy peeling the prawn's shell so carefully with his utensils and spending so much effort just to make sure that he could eat his prawn w/o touching it, I was dreading the minute when the truth would be out and I would lay my hands on the prawn. I kept putting it off! However, the meat seemed impossible to finish and got a feeling that i would never be able to finish it. Finally, I decided to stop torturing myself and headed straight for the prawns. wow~ I don't think I would ever regret eating it. Even though it was pretty embarassingand it was really a mess, I still enjoyed every bit of the prawns. After having a good look at the second prawn, I found it to be normal-sized and not at all the word that was used to describe it, "BIG". I then came to the realisation that maybe first impressions are not that trustworthy. Don't think that I'm calculative. you'll know what I mean when u see the difference between the Big (really huge) prawn and the normal sized one :P
The other time was when I was at NTUC shopping for groceries for tomorrow's dinner. I was really excited when I saw the last packet of chicken fillet, I just put it in the first basket that i saw. I wasn't even thinking or checking to make sure it was our basket. I just put it in. I even knew what was in the basket: vegetables. At that time, I was thinking: "when did my dad ever put vegetables in the basket?" oh well, at least he saved me the trouble of taking vegetables. I was standing beside the basket, looking at the fish when a lady holding the chicken fillet that I knew I took, asked if it was mine. I was shocked that this lady would take the chicken fillet from my basket and ask if it was mine. I was even wondering if she wanted to "steal" it. At the back of my mind, I keep telling myself it was the last one. All that vanished when she said that I had put the chicken fillet in the wrong basket, I had put it in hers. oh my gosh* that was so embarassing, I could only manage three sorrys. It didn't help that my brother was laughing at me.
