Just reached home from Murni after mamak session with Phyl and her college mates, two of which happen to be from IMU (one who's from Dentistry, too) and a 3rd who is Ma-Vin! On the way there in the car, Stef and I were reminiscing about how the last we saw of Ma-Vin was when he was in a neck brace. He's so nice and gentlemanly now, what a change!
I came to a revelation while waiting for food. Mamak is the only place where you do not complain when the waiters are mean, sarcastic or teasing. The guy serving us would not recommend us any food, and when we asked what was on the other table, he told us it was Roti Hawaii. When we asked what else was nice, he wouldn't say. We said, 'So nothing else is nice? Only Roti Hawaii?' and he agreed. -.-'
He 'complained' when we ordered only one bowl of tom yum for Stef, Phyl and I, and when we ordered only one plate of Cheese Nan later. Ma-Vin was so funny, asking him to bring 10 sets of forks & spoons, as though all of us were sharing one single bowl. Then the waiter asked if he could share as well, and Ma-Vin told him to pull up a chair.
Can you imagine a waiter at a proper restaurant saying such stuff to you?
'How can you only order one?'
'No, you cannot order Milo. Order the mango drink.'
'What do you mean purple drink? There're SO many purple drinks, please be specific!'
It was so funny.

Raising dogs must be like raising kids. When you first get one, you spend so much time and effort on it - training, playing, teaching, sympathizing. Now, with our 3rd one (Hayley), we can't be bothered. We don't even care that she doesn't have manners and we just shut our ears to her barking. Oh, but I did take her to the rundown tennis court just now. We ran around like insane creatures for a few rounds, her chasing me. It was surprisingly liberating.
