What a day

A normal day of school. (and I remmber whining about how long monday is, on each and every monday of this year so far), and just to put a halt in this nonsensical, callow ranting, I shall break that chain today. I shall not whine anymore about long mondays.

Funny incidents. Some priceless, some worth a mention. It is fortunate, that school actually provides a conducive environment for funny incidents to occur, (either spontaneously, naturally or artifically). Either way.

What happened today. It was my first attempt at buying food from this "sakae campus" at the canteen. I was skeptical about anything sold there. The price seems insane. I bought something which cost 3:80 singapore dollars, and the portion was relatively small. I was excitied, because for once I don't even know what I ordered. And of course, the funny part was because I was ordering my food with daniel.

While ordering, okay there was this food on the menu that read "kitsune".

Daniel (to Ty) : Hey you know Kitsune means fox.
Store person: Errr, you know that's tao pok on the picture not meat.
(in rather abstract chinese)
though i expected the person to speak japanese.*shoots myself*
Ty: 0.o (tries not to laugh).

Daniel started smiling uncontrollably. In a frenzy of embarassment (or whatever you call it).

Daniel:eh the pizza very small
(I don't know who he talking to, but it was random, and spontaneous)
Store person:*stares at daniel* (or maybe glare, speechless)
Daniel: and very EXPENSIVE
Store person:*eyes open wide*
Daniel:one bite eat finish already leh!
Store person: Look at daniel, look at his body. Turn to me, and smile.
(as though saying, "nice friend you have")
Ty:Speechless
(and tries not to die of laughter)

And just, random. maybe some people would have thought that Sakae campus sold wine instead. coming from the world "sakae". it is quite easily mistaken. no one said they sold japanese food. supposedly. And since when have pizza been japanized?

Enough of that. I would like to know/meet whoever came up with the idea/suggestion of having a Sakae campus.Apparently, I don't really see a point of having a Japanese food stall which sells food double the price of any other stall around. We're PJC, not ACJC. It's not the pricing. It's just there are better options. I think prata is a really feasible idea.

But I think I'll stick with the Vegeterian stall (or the newly renamed "Shrooms") for awhile. Because the taste of the food grows on me the more I eat from that stall. and the best part. more often than not, you don't have to queue. I don't get why non-vegeterians can't eat vegeterian food.

Enough of canteen talk. Lest I get hungry again.
