Nearly One Free Lunch

When 3 ladies get together, sit down, eat and talk.. what would be the consequences?

This afternoon, I took two charming ladies to the best chicken rice stall in Ali Pitchay Street. They haven't been there before, I told them to hurry cos normally during lunch hour, the shop will be very crowded. True enough, it certainly was but we managed to get a table right at the end corner.

We talked, talked... food came... we walloped.. conversation resumed when suddenly I remember I need to go to the bank. Quickly we stood up and walked out of the shop...

Upon reaching the bank, Elin took out her purse and asked, "eh.. how much was the meal? who paid just now?" We started to look at one another... nope, I didn't pay.. did u? NO?

Gosh!! None of us remembered to pay the bill.... we just walked out of the shop!

Conclusion: We drove back to the shop and Elin went in to pay. The man recognised her straightaway and he was laughing.. Elin asked him why didn't he call after us... he said he wanted to but by the time he came out of the shop, we were nowhere to be seen!

(cis, as if we walked so fast meh.... maybe he purposely want to give us free lunch?? LOL...)

    Hahaha.... My parents had had the same experienced before but they didn't go back to the shop on the very same day cause they only discovered it after they had reached home. However, they called up the restaurant and informed them about their mistakes... Btw, the restaurant is in Ayer Kala (between Lenggong and Gerik).

    Oh this is very funny!!! It is nice to see people with integrity who are so very honest like you are, and you went back to pay. When things like this happen to us, we call them "senior moments", although you are still too young to use that as an excuse! I would have liked to see a picture of the chicken and rice, yum!! Before you try washing the grapes again, read my comment on that below.

    hahaha, my husband & i did that before... ate and then walked off without paying cos we were so engrossed in our conversation.

    Best part is, we didn't even realise it until a week later, as we were having lunch somewhere else then he asked me "eh? that day, did i pay for the dinner ah?" lol XD

    good thing the shop owners kinda know us la, cos we always go there, so when we went back there to makan, then paid them lo... and the lady laughed at us =D

I just walk out of the clinic without paying and the lady at the counter was shouting for me in her cubicle. haha....No medications was prescribe but still need to pay for consultation fee (I see the doc for some allergic problem). I totally forgotten about paying. The lady was there laughing at me too! so paisey.

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
