the 3 musketeers!
finally, she, he and i managed to meet up and went to patronise the new makan place that was just opened in e-gate... SUBWAY!!!!
YES!! Subway has finally found itself in Penang.... so now penangites have more choices for healthy food.... nyeh nyeh nyeh....
so he and i braved the jam from work to Subway (actually, me going to fetch her first and then meet him there)... he finished work at about 5 and only reached at 6+ and i finished at 6, went to fetch her and met up the same time as him.... the next obstacle was to get through the rush at Subway, with the new opening and all that...
to our surprise, it seems the management didn't expect the big crowd!! they were not prepared with enough bread!!! so since we planned to hang out the whole night, the lady in charge told us that we'll have to wait for our order, 30 mins later,... so we paid for our order, gotten our drinks (will tell u more bout the drinks part) and sat outside... (ohh btw, dude, i still owe u my share)... we came to find out that one of the "partners" of Subway was his boss!! damn, u could see his face turning red when his boss approached him and asked about his work WHILE wiping and cleaning tables!!! hahahah just imagine, seeing our bosses cleaning while we're there sitting and waiting for our orders... amaizing isn't it? when it come to outside of the office... it's different
so anyway, the drinks, so it seems, when we pay for the order, we get empty cups (like Burger King) and we got to fill them ourselves, but there is no FREE refill... so fine... the machine's there, but there were no ice (sad me!) and what i saw was a small size coleman that were supposed to be filled with ice, were empty!!! fine... no ice.. still can survive.... so we tried to fill our cups.... coke... none, sprite... none.... ice lemon tea... GOT!!.... so the 3 of us had ice lemon tea.... sad right? the machine has so many types of drinks, but ... no drinks
we were talking.... u open a well known eatery and u're not prepared for the crowd? no bread, no drinks, long waits? unexceptable man.... what, u expect ppl to just drop in your shop, look at the menu, say hi and leave? PENANG PEOPLE WANT TO EAT man!!!!! just imagine, we reached nearly 7pm.... gotten our food at 8 (i think, we didn't keep track of time) and when our food came, there was a LOOOOOONG line....
so for those who wants to open a makan shop AND send brochures online in a multinational company, PLEASE expect a LARGE crowd....
anyway, after ooohing and aaaahing the food i was eating.... he got bored and wanted to have a drink, so we headed to Flix and got a drink... i was wanting to have one cause i felt it's been ages since i had one and was stressed because of her and him.... so the 3 of us had drinks.... weather was lovely, had breeze till it drizzled and because he had work tomorrow, we left by 10+....
it was a good night, simple, casual nite... good company, good chat.... a good nite... and we cheered our glasses to our friendship and more of nites like this....
ohh... by the way, she and him are second cousins!
