well, my day started out pretty much the same way it always does: woke up at bout 9am, got ready and dragged my feet outta the house and to work.
funny thing happened on the way to work today though, somewhere along the highway traffic suddenly slowed down for no apparent reason and so i assumed that there probably was an accident or something (as we all know m'sians do have a tendency to just slam on the brakes whenever they see an accident - hasnt it ever occurred to them that they would cause an accident themselves?! thats a story for another day..). anyway, jus as the traffic slowed to almost a halt, i spotted this skinny guy running across the street movie style, u know cars screeching to a halt as he ran across the road, with him touching the front of every car that brakes for him to pass? (if u cant picture it then its just too bad for you). anywaayyyy, didnt think too much of it except probably some idiot with a deathwish. but what stuck me as peculiar was that even though he was across the road he was still looking back as he quickly climbed up grassy area which leads up to another road which is elevated fm the highway (bet u cant picture this, but it doesnt matter). it was only when i noticed a copper running across the same road some 10 seconds later did i realise that that guy was actually running away from a copper, but i wouldnt be too worried if i was him cos that copper wasnt only running at the speed of a handicapped tortoise, but he was also grossly overweight (think huge belly) and was evidently terribly out of shape cos he was gasping for air even as he slowly made his way across the road apparently to chase that guy.
dont know the outcome of the story cos i just made my way to work after that but i've got a pretty good idea wat the headlines would be should the story makes its way unto the front page: "Cop faints after failed pursuit of a robbery (?) suspect across highway" .. haha.
anyway, the rest of the day was pretty uneventful. as usual, longed for lunchtime the moment i start work cos that'd be the time i would have my coffee of the day fm the local starbucks *mmmm* life begins after a cuppa starbucks i must say.
it was just work work and more work til 7 or so when kim said she'd come pick me up fm work to have dinner at this place thats supposed to have really good chicken wings and stuff. dinner was so-so, but the amazing thing is that the name of the restaurant was something like "Ah Wah Famous Roasted Chicken Wings". how does anyone run a restaurant just selling chicken wings?! i mean a stall selling chicken wings i understand but a whole restaurant?! but to give this guy some credit the chicken wings was pretty much selling like hot cakes and the amount of wings i spotted over the stove was not funny ok? there was probably enough wings there to feed a few battalions. anyway, had like 5 wings, some fried noodles, fried calamari and a grilled stingray (okay, i got a lil carried away when ordering.. i was hungry ok?!). as i said earlier, the food was just so-so, but the amazing part was the bill. the whole thing came up to 40 bucks! u just dont spend 40 bucks for hawker food .. its just something u dont. no wonder this ah wah dude can operate an entire restaurant solely selling chicken wings .. needless to say i'm not going back for ah wah's wings anytime soon.
