2 Gluttons

Angeline got a sudden craving for chicken rice last friday and dragged Ck to find it along Selegie Road. Angeline is not just craving for any chicken rice, but those that are served at the old 'kopi thiams'. As Angeline and Ck were at Plaza Singapura to collect Angeline's U700, the nearest place to look for chicken rice wuold be Selegie Road.

After walking around Selegie Road for 5 minutes, Angeline realized that the shop that she had in mind had closed down. Unwillingly to give up, she pulled Ck across the street to Park Lane to try her luck. Angeline remembered that there was a restaurant called Rex located at Park Lane that serves chicken rice. Angeline thought that she got really lucky when she found the place. Angeline and Ck then sat down happily to enjoy the chicken rice. Maybe only Angeline has enjoyed the chicken rice.


Angeline's taste bud would give the c
hicken rice 3 stars / 5 stars. Still feeling rather full, Angeline insisted on eating the beancurd at Rochor. Angeline told Ck that the walk to Rochor would be able to digest some of the food, thus she would be able to eat the beancurd. Once again, Ck was pulled to Rochor to eat the beancurd by Angeline.

On their way there, Angeline passed by at least 3 shops that served chicken rice. And all these shops are located at those old 'kopi thiams'. Therefore, Angeline began to wonder what did she mean when she thought she got really lucky just a while ago.

Ck offered to buy the beancurd and asked Angeline if she wanted some doughsticks to go along. Angeline agreed and told him to get one for him and one for her. What Angeline had in mind was ONE PAIR OF DOUGHSTICK. Well, Ck returned with TWO pairs of doughsticks and said, "One for you (pointed to one) and one for me (pointed to the other)." Angeline took one pair of doughstick and told him, "I mean one for you (pointed to one of the doughstick from the pair) and one for me (pointed to the other)." Oh well!




The 2 gluttons were super full from eating and decided to take a walk to Sim Lim Square to catch a bus home. Angeline offered to show Ck the way, as she is more familiar with the place. When Angeline and Ck were reaching the bus stop, Angeline began to wonder if bus service 66 stops at the bus stop outide Sim Lim Square. Angeline has presumed that it does because it goes to her workplace which is like 4 bustops down the road. Before they reached the bus stop, Angeline told Ck about her doubts. At that point in time, Bus 66 stopped at the bus stop, picked up some passengers and zoomed off. Angeline and Ck stared at the bus and Ck told Angeline, "One good news and one and bad news. The good news is Bus 66 does come here and the bad news is we just missed the bus." Angeline knew that already. Nonetheless, the 2 gluttons still managed to make it home.
