but first...
*drumroll*

One Potter to rule them all.
The Saga is (nearly) complete.
It has been calling to me.

Spotting the National Day Red T-shirts from Hang Ten, my platoon mates and I decided to have lunch at a restaurant in Suntec City. We found our Oriental Chinese restaurant looking somewhat misplaced just opposite Macdonalds and right beside household names like Pizza Hut, KFC, Subway and Burger King. In fact I am convinced the management put the poor restaurant just to confuse potential customers.
" This is weird. What is this oriental restaurant doing in the midst of all these fast food outlets?" a potential patron would asked, brows furrowed.
" Forget it. Probably some Let's go KFC! They have the 3.95 Banito meal offer!" his mis-guided friend would encourage.
"Yeah. Let's!"
And many a potential customer would be lost.
The food there was quite simply, delicious.
Now before you think us NSFs to be rich brats and spend our pay sampling Crystal Jade and other intricate Dim Sum, I assure you I barely paid $5.
"$5?" I hear you cry out loud. "Why, that's even cheaper than the Mee Pok plus drinks I bought at the foodcourt."
Yes. I was feeling quite cheated myself.
I had a plate of Soya Sauce Chicken Noodle. The chicken itself was tender and juicy and as I was sinking my teeth into it I had a fleeting glimpse of what heaven looked like. I kid you not.
The noodles was springy and light. I asked my friend if I could have his bowl of soup as I was bouncing it in my mouth.
Another half a bowl of Beef Congee later, the bill came. We smiled, proud that we had saved a few cents in the wet paper towels and the two plates of roasted peanuts we had kindly refused.
Having out stomachs filled, we took a leisurely stroll back to City Hall. During the journey back, my friend encountered a situation in Giodano.
As usual, Kevin also known affectionately as Ah Weird, loittered off to Giodano.
( "Giodano Jeans very Cheap," he told me. " I only wear Levis," I replied aloofly. At that time, I was wearing a pair of Giodano jeans.)
The gang of us, mostly spotting the same red T-shirt from Hang Ten followed him in.
"Basket!" Eric exclaimed within minutes of us departing the Shop.
Apparently there was this strange woman who was trying to catch his attention by frailing her arms about in a haphazard manner.
"So , I said hi!" Eric said , traumatised, giving a short wave " and walked away."
Just I was considering telling him that at least Aunites thought him desirable he said with much augish,
" She thought we were Giodano's Shop Assistants!"
Now can it be ...
Can it be?
We can only wonder.
