"Hi there, welcome to Mind Cafe. My name is Adrian. If you ever need anything, just gimme a call."
In case some of you don't know, I just started to work at this boardgame cafe over at Selegie. It doesn't pay very well, but I don't really have to do much apart from serving and playing games. So I think its a pretty good deal.
Yesterday, this couple came in... and right from the start.. when i was addressing them, I knew something was wrong. The lady was very quiet, and the guy looked like he was coaxing her. Now.. these 2 weren't exactly very youthful teenagers or anything. The guy was in a shirt and tie. So i suppose, they're both working execs. So I pulled my colleauge over and whispered to him, "siah la.. quarreling couple.. better not intro game la."
Some how my friend was kinda surprised. "EH! How you know ah?"
Young boy, still dunno how to read body language, tsk.
Anyway.... the couple sat there.. talk softly.. they must have been playing their own little mind games.. I think the guy lost.. cos the girl started to cry..
BUT.. the guy must have stood his ground.. but probably not for long.. cos next thing I know.. I hear the familiar *crick crack* sound of a penknife.
WTF?????!!!!
Where the hell did that come from.. I glance over and see the guy taking the knife away from the girl.. moments later.. as expected.. the guy comes over.. and asks for plaster..
I think.. game set match liao.. cos after that.. the girl doesn't exactly look pleased as punch, but she's munching away on the onion rings and what not they ordered.. i forgot liao...
The other story.. got our first celebrity guests in the cafe. Jamie Teo and Daniel Ong. Alone. Just the 2 of them. *ahem* *couGOSSIPgh* SO ANYWAAAAAAAAAAAAY...
Jamie Teo had came down to the cafe like a day before to do some filming shite with Desmond Koh is it? I can't remember his name.. should be Koh la.. and she came back for more i suppose.. I think Daniel's ass got whipped by Jamie in some 2 player game. Damn unlucky.. and he seemed damn bloody moody. Must be the fengshui la.. they were at the same table as the other guy that lost.
Watching them play, I realised.. they both have REALLY ANNOYING VOICES man... Despite Daniel being a DJ, some how.. their voices just kinda irked me.. dunno why la.. just.. eeeeyer
My colleague, Izwan, was flipping through FHM (yes.. we were that free.. please come. Mind Cafe, opp Paradiz Centre. Take bus 131, 106, blah blah blah) and turns out.. Jamie Teo is in the latest edition. So we hatched this ploy to ask her to sign it. We'd put it on the counter top, and when she comes over to settle the bill, we'll just ask her to sign it. But when she did ask for the bill, she remained seated. SHIT. SO someone has to bring it over instead... Nm.. Boss will do it.. cos he's the boss man.
Boss fly aeroplane on me.
He printed the bill and then.... "Adrian.. come.. bring it over.."
HUH?! wat happened to the plan man.. siah lah......
so they pay.. and as they about to leave.. I see the other 2 fellas, Izwan and boss.. looking at me.. wat siah...
"ermm... excuse me.. but.. we have an odd request.. we sorta have the lastest FHM here.. so.. could u like.. sign it? Make it out to Mind cafe or something?"
23 years old.. still doing this kinda thing..
wah lao.
