~May Your Light Shine :D~

Sometimes you just meet people who for some reason, choose to bitch about you the very first chance they get to. They don't even direct it to you, but they say it to their friends at a volume audible enough for you to hear.

So on Wednesday, HG, Sabrina and I were at Plaza Singapura eating lunch at Yoshinoya. Each of us ordered a student set meal which consists of:

1. A beef/teriyaki chicken rice bowl (which frankly speaking, isn't that big. Like only half the portion of a bowl of Ajisens ramen)

2. A drink(normal sized)

3. A donut ice cream (Which is vanila ice cream coated in solid chocolate and shaped into an average sized donut)

And it all costs S$4.55, which is so worth it, since HG and Sabrina were broke and I was gonna spend my money on CDs later(yes I know what you're thinking).

So anyway, since I have explained the portion of our meal, I shall carry on to explain what happened. Mind you, the following account was not from my experience because even though I was present, I wasn't observant enough to notice the happenings around me, so HG and Sabrina told me everything I have to say over here.

Well, just when the 3 of us were well into our meal, a group of girls from some JC came and sat in the table next to us. I wasn't paying muich attention to them, but I looked at them long enough to register that they were the typical act-cute, Wimbotic(wannabe bimbos. bimbos have class, they don't) female students who actually think that wearing FBTs in public for all to "admire" is hip and that they actually look good in it(*pukes*). In fact, it looks positively obscene because it looks as though they're parading around in their underwear.

About 2 of them went to order the food, and the rest sat at the table. I think I was halfway into eating my ice cream when one of them said(According to HG and Sabrina anyway), "Wow, they eat A LOT.", pointedly meaning that the 3 of us eat a lot, and probably also meaning that we're greedy pigs who stuff our faces the very moment we get a chance to, or so interpreted by HG and Sabrina.
Another girl then proceeded to say in a fake girlishy voice, "You very mean leh!", which I can just picture to be in that high pitched, act cute vioce that makes me feel like pulling my hair out. But since I didn't hear it, I wouldn't really know.

It's even a wonder I didn't hear it or notice any change in the atmosphere because supposedly, Hg's and Sabinra's face immediately turned black and they began to eat at a faster pace and I guess I should also point out that I was actually sitting the closest to the girls while HG and Sabrina were further away. And yet... I didn't hear a thing. I think it's because I was too busy concentrating on balancing my ice cream in its wrapper.

And that's not all, after we left the table, they even pointed to our table and said, "Look! Look...!", and yes, you got it, I didn't hear that either.

Ok, so I can forgive them for thinking that we eat a lot, because that's a sentence I don't take as criticism. In fact if you were to tell me that straight in the face, I would probably laugh and say,

"Oh yea, I'm really hungry today."

or

"Well, I need a lot of food at breakfast but since I didn't have much I'm gonna have to eat more at lunch."

because that would really BE my response, unlike HG and Sabrina who took it as downright mean-ness.

But the part where they say, "Look! Look...!" That isn't mean, that's just plain RUDE. You don't stare at a person's meal remnants as if it's amazing the person can actually eat that much because for starters, we didn't eat a lot. The portion was average sized. And even if we DID eat a lot, they shouldn't do it either because even we deserve the most basic form of human respect.

Oh yea, so if they meant that we eat a lot, it means that their meal only consists of a bowl of rice and nothing else? Well, that doesn't seemt o be the case. They, through my VERY OWN EYES, ordered a huge plate of rice and teriyaki chicken which at one glance is definitely a larger portion than our meal.

If I knew that they meant that we were greedy gorging pigs, I would have gone and bought mroe food and eaten it straight in front of their smug "baffled" faces.
