Wait... Wait and Wait Somemore...

Wah lau eh!?!

I got driver duty again because today got OT at the office and then this time got our Malaysia colleagues also campur and help us.

So, because everybody skipped lunch, I went to Tampines to tah pow food for everybody in the office. At first I went to tah pow Vegetarian food. Then I went to Block 201 to buy Indian Rojak for our Muslim kawan-kawans at the office.

When I reach the stall, I could not find any tongs to pick the food so I look left, look right, look up and look down, trying to find one of the stall helpers to help me.

But all of them too busy idling.

So I waited...

When I finally got one to help me, he ask one of the stall helpers for it. You know what he ask me to do? He ask me come into the cooking area and take one by myself... Wah lau eh!?! Sibeh jialat ah... How can like this one?

After one of the (busy relak one corner) helpers pass me the tongs, I selected the food and put on the counter for 'busy' stall helpers to attend to me.

Again I waited...

After a short wait of about 10 minutes, one of the stall helpers asked me if I want to makan there or take away. I told him I want to "take away" then I use my big, fat hands to make the tah pow action for him to see. The stall helper nodded his head and then ask me, "Abang, where you sit ah?"

Wah lau eh!?! Like this also can ah?

After explaining to him that I want to packet and take away the food, he put the food at the counter for his colleague to pack it up for me.

So I waited... Again...

Then, got another family order Rojak from another stall helper so the 'new' stall helper push my order aside and then deep fry the family order first... Wah lau eh!?!

He came back, packed up my food into a plastic bag. Eh? No need to deep fry meh? So I asked the guy why mine no need to deep-fry but the family one got deep fry. You know what he say? Because mine bring home; so I can ask my mummy to deep fry... This type of service really hosay!~

I in a hurry so I bo heu lah so I asked for extra chilli sauce. Wah lau eh!?! This guy give me a thirty-cent face then say loud-loud, "Hello Uncle, you order so little and then you want so much sauce ah?"

Then he asked me to pay... This time, no need to way... Hosay!~
