Stick to What is known

Last evening was indeed perplexing. It just didn't seemed like my day.

After the bad show and some fruitless shopping around, Hong and I decided to calm our nerves with some sweet treats. We hence dropped by Häagen-Dazs at Raffles City shopping centre. However, considering the late hours, we finally decided to settle for some tea instead after browsing the menu.

The waiter cheerfully took our orders of NightCap and Petite-fleur (or smtg like that), and then asked us, wide-eyed, if it's fine that they serve the teas in pots.

Slightly stunned, we looked at her, blinked, and asked an equally absurd question: Is it a big pot? (i mean, how big a pot can you fetch for $6.50 at a place like Häagen-Dazs?)

She blinked and gave an equally stupid answer like, "No. The pot is a one-person serving."

I mean... duh.... her question, to start with, was uncalled for. I mean, yah, one-person serving for each tea, there were two of us, and we ordered two teas, so, is that not right?

The teas came in nice clean glass pots. (I like clean looking pots!)

The puzzling thing was, Hong's teapot came without a cover. The waiter (or maybe he's the manager there, since he was in a different uniform) explained that they had broken the cover.
At first, that seemed forgiveable. But on second thought, we can't help but wonder why they can't use another teapot cover for the teapot they are serving.

We hence decided to try it out. Took the cover on my teapot and tried fitting it to Hong's teapot. And it fitted perfectly. I mean, of course, the teapots looked the same to begin with. We just wanted to confirm our suspicion and make sure there aren't some extra catch or something not visible to our myopic eyes.

Why can't they replace the cover from another teapot's? *Perplexed*

Haiz.... the only reason we can come up with is that perhaps they've only got two teapots in the outlet.... or maybe ordering teas at Häagen-Dazs was a mistake. We should have kept to the convention and maybe have an ice-cream instead....

Lesson of the day: Just stick to what is known.

That means...
#1 - If a show is not well-known, it's probably bad.
#2 - Just keep to ordering ice-creams at Häagen-Dazs.
