The Question of the week is: "How do coffee shops handle the drunkards and what causes them to be drunk in the first place?"

Interview with Mr Lee Leng Kee
Mr Lee: "Aiya, these people have nothing better to do at coffee shops. Actually hor, coffee shops are not for drunkards wan you know? But, when it happens, we take them out of the place lor. What else can we do? Take them home ah? You so free, you do la!"

Interview with Ms Ong Hwee Yan

Interview with Mr Yue Heng Wei
Mr Yue: "Drunkards drink because of love partners, money or retrenchment, one of these. And when they get drunk, they impose trouble on us. But, we don't do anything. We wait until they leave. Business what, who don't want to do? That's why...yeah."

Interview with Ms Ang Yin Kee
Ms Ang: "I cannot say anything. Because i don't handle drunkards. But, i can only say drunkards are useless. Small thing also drunk. I can hold my liquor well wan. Next time, got time, i show you."

After the interviews with these 4 parties, there was only very vague conclusion. But, they get drunk because they are troubled over love, money and job and those people cannot hold their liquor well.

Labels: RED

ME!!

Take myself.

And i am BAck!!
I have always been wondering.
Why do everybody like to make LOVE their theme??
Is it even
NiCE??
I don't like that.
cos i prefer SPONGEcakes!!
not SPONGEbob!!
although he's cute
but Patrick's CUTEr!!
Ok.
Spoke too much in the pevious post
But i would still like to add on.
That's why i'm here,
cos this IS my blog.
I'm getting outta hand heh?
YEAH!!!

Now i am starting to miss th Malacca trip.
Weird eh?
I don't understand what was so funny that night in Malacca
that kept weiting laughing until the next day (y'day).

When Sherry, weiting and i entered the hotel room,
sherry turned all our shoes upside down (as in one of each pair)
I had a little idea why she did that
but wanted to find out more.
So i asked.
THen she replied
"We are at towards the end of this floor, so..."
could tell she didn't want to talk about it.
Anyway, i was starting to freak out,
so i kept screaming
and that got weiting scared too.
I kept insisting that we change the room
so Sherry called Mr Bambang.
Oh!!
And he really came...
Sherry and he were talking.
And he said, "Ok, ask her to come out."
Cos he said guys cannot go into girls' room and vice versa.
But, i was refusing.
Upon hearing me say no no no,
he spoke some more and agreed to let us go to kaiying's room there.
In the end,
we decided not to go.
cos we, or rather i, were getting
braver.

This was that night.
Gosh, the post are getting longer and LONger.
What's this?

Nothing.

Gd day eh hey!!

HEY...
You should have seen the pics
when you first came here today.
Which one grabbed the most attention??
...
...
I am asking you..
Which photo grabbed the most attention??
REPLY!!
And don't say
"Still need to ask meh??"
Ok.
Think it is pretty
OBVIOUS
!!!
That pic is rather blur
I must say,
Taken in Melaka
Malacca.
If you don't know what pic
i was talking about
you must be quite dumb
cos it is seriously obvious.
Of course
it is the one of
aiyah
the pic below this post.
Now you get it??
ANd if you don't know who that is,
i mean as in Hillgrovians
you must be rather dumb
cos he is..

hehe
hehe
hehe
hello

Right...

Errmm.

I don't think there is anything to say.

Let's see..

I went to McDonalds
the Bt. Batok one
with Jean
and Mingjia.
Went there to work on
our science project.
So tiresome.
I bought the McValue lunch
for $4.50
Heng.
I made it by 2pm
or else no more.
We finished the project at
1600 around there.
And then, the two of them
went to West Mall.
Waited for 61
it came in 10 minutes.
Now that was fast.
If only 985 was half as fast
I normally get infuriated
waiting for that bus.
If you're wondering
wha simplest thing this has got to do
with 985,
that is because
I TAKE THAT BUS HOME FROM SCHOOL EVERYDAY!!
Isn't that pathetic?
yeah
it is.
And i think
that explains
why i am so angry
when i'm home.

(...actually i ain't..now ssshh..)
Where was i??
Oh.
61 came and i was home fast.
Yup.
That's it.

Now.
I have to do my homework.
cos this is an absolute long post.
Ok.
Bye.

Bye.
I'll continue in the next post.

Hey,
I am at my aunty's house right now. Lost touch with all the msn and yahoo for a long time and just logged in today. Yeh! It did...work. Anyway, what is there to talk about? Malacca? Yeah, i am going there on the 16th of this month...and I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT!!
I don't feel like leaving Singapore at this point of time and i heard that Malacca is an old town. I don't like old towns, i prefer urbans like Singapore, where life is too hectic to catch up with. But, it's too late to back out now. I've handed in the form and have agreed to go. If i want out now, all hells will break loose. My teacher's going to freak out. So, i decided to take it in my stride. Just go and have a look. Anyway, it's just for one night. That was Malacca.
Next topic (what's that??), errmm...there's like nothing to talk about now and nothing to say. So, maybe i shall end it here. It's too sad (cries)...

Bye.

Bye.

And bye.
