First experience of entering one of the few more civilised places in Kuantan - STARBUCKS MegaMall, Kuantan... sure feels like some Orang Asli...
Sitting at a table outside the Starbucks at 2010 hours, we waited for the waiter or waitress or whosoever to bring us the order, but all they brought was some paise-ness...the waitress/worker who swept the floor near our table gave us a weird "What are these weird constant laughing buncha teenagers who would just like to warm the chairs of Starbucks?" look and turn his attention back to the broom. HEY, ARE WE CUSTOMERS SO UNWORTHY THAT YOU LOOK BACK AT THE BROOM and say "You are more precious!"??? Walau-eh...
Anyway, we got back to our senses and realised that Starbucks is self-service...We got so desperate and ordered the beverages and as expected - it burned a big hole at THEIR pockets (I did not spent a single cent there as I was close to ringgit-less...the cheapest was RM 5 exclusive of tax). They had their cappucino, mocha and some other drinks that I forgotten, but I'm grateful to have friends like Hui Ling, Yong Qian, Jyo Lyn and Kok Thong who forced me to gulp some down...although some are sweet, mostly bitter and some artificially sweet... anyway THANKS weh!
Hui Ling - Yong Qian
Jyo Lyn - Kok Thong
We did have a great time there, lots of laughter which made the other "laptop computer" people stare at us for a moment...(and I wonder why Starbucks has all this so called latop customers, what's so great about drinking coffee while laptop-ing?) And now thanks to Joanne and James from RBS, I started snapping pictures almost at everything... we even had a combination of photos of ourselves....it's the combination and permutation thingy we learnt back at Form 5 Add Maths... Four of us taking pictures of two together, 4C2 =10, arrgh, I guess many post-SPM people already forgot about that, only poor me has this facts locked in my brain...can't throw away...
Here are the combinations of pictures... (Hui Ling, don't argue it's permutation, k?)
Woah! Finally 4C2 ended here, if permutation, Hui Ling, it's gonna be for eternity the pictures.
And what are friends without a group photo. Photo courtesy of Jyo Lyn, though got cacat a bit-lah, but what else can we ask for when we have to even take group pictures by ourselves...SELF SERVICE, aihz again...
Thinking back of what happened of the Starbuck self-service thingy, I'm glad that God did not expected me to self-service in my salvation. It is just for God to actually view me even less than a broom, but He didn't. He took the initiative to give me the menu to salvation eventhough in His sight I'm just a useless sinner who laughs his life around... How grateful I am... And I need not to pay through to get my salvation, it's FREE! No need burning holes in or even my whole wallet just to earn my salvation. Works to earn salvation is just earning a salvation that worth just like an RM 13 plus cappucino mocha expresso whatsoever and drink it, no matter how long (two hours?), is not eternal...
