Buffet and Ben & Jerry

Followed two of my friends S & K to a steamboat buffet place near Shaw Towers on Monday. When I got there at about 7.40pm, S & K were first in the queue. So I naturally figured that we should be able to get a seat real soon. But the pessimistic side of me jested with both of them that even though we might be the first in queue, we might not able to get a seat before 8pm. Suffice to say, I really ought to 'clean my mouth' more often. We only got our seats at 7.59pm. Somehow or other, 3 parties popped out of nowhere and planted themselves in all their glory on vacated tables. Taking the cue from the attire of the 3 parties, I told my friend to 'show some skin' to the waiter and perhaps we might get a seat before other people do so. Normally, I am not an overly fussy person when it comes to this kind of thing, but the lack of respect for the queue really put me off and you will never never never find me patronising that place again. Then again, who knows... don't recall cleaning my mouth recently :p

Following which, the 3 of us adjourned to Suntec for a spot of Ben and Jerry ice cream. As we approached the store, we noticed that the shutters were closing. Suddenly, out of the blue, 2 women dashed by us so fast that we almost missed them. Guess what? They were heading for Ben and Jerry too! Such fanatic devotion to the brand. We figured that needn't hurry as they would hold up the shop with their orders while we sauntered over :) Really must thank such devoted fans for the efforts *fist thumps on chest showing respect*

A ruined steamboat buffet dinner saved by 2 fanatic fans of Ben & Jerry. What an excellent way to end the day :)
