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...)

  3. 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).

  4. 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.

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.
