much has happened today good and bad but mostly i'm here to complain: because of yeen teck and von, i shall never be able to eat at thanying express again. *rage and fume* and poach and i had made a date to go there when she gets back. *fume and rage* over a mix up of dishes and $5.43 of service charge which they refused to pay on account of the mix up (and everyone from the waitress to the manager were as black-faced as could imaginably be), which i was so upset about and in such a hurry to get out of the restaurant i grabbed the bill and paid for it and flocked everyone out immediately. which means i'm slightly more broke than i should be, but also because this morning i got more letters from virginia and it seems they money just gets taken off the tuition bill or something. how depressinng. von says i counted my chickens before they'd hatched. and he's right. shucks. i'd very nearly ordered a whole bunch of things this morning too. and the boys insisted on explaining why they were perfectly justified in what they did, it was a matter of principle, etc etc, and i wanted to throw something at them. alas. but all in all okay lah. we sat in the park above orchard mrt and had cake and macaroons. lots more but other than that, i'm tired and will curl up in bed for an hour or two.
