special privileges for the fat lady
tb arrived home late (again) last friday, carrying something which has been missing in our home for so long… FRESH FLOWERS!!
nothing like a nice bouquet of flowers to cheer up a sulking and depressed wife :’)
anyway, we went to my new favourite restaurant (Waraku in iLuma, fyi.) for lunch today and the waiter serving us happened to be a super waiter.
before we were seated, he pulled out two tables so that fat lady could move herself easily into the seat. just when my fat ass touched the seat, he gently shifted the tables back so that fat lady could reach the table without hyper-extending her spine. then he told fat X, “when my wife was pregnant, i was extremely careful also”. at that moment, i suddenly experienced the beauty and privileges of being pregnant :’D
before leaving us to ponder over the colourful menu, super waiter asked us if we would like to have some warm water before ordering. we nodded our heads gratefully.
we then ordered our meals and waited happily for the food to arrive. i had my favourite scallop & mushroom soup pasta and fat X had the usual boring carbonara. in the middle of the meal, super waiter approached me and asked if i would like them to top up the soup for me and seriously, i was too shocked to reply him. WHERE TO FIND SUCH A NICE WAITER?! YOU TELL ME!!!
normally, you only ask bak kut teh sellers or prawn mee sellers for extra soup, where got restaurant offer to top up the soup for your soup pasta??!!
anyway, we concluded that super waiter probably thought fat X was being a big bully because he couldn’t stop stealing soup from my pasta! haha..
anyways, i declined the offer because i had to finish a tall glass of mango shake after the pasta and my tummy was already full of other stuff as well.
the highlight of the meal came during dessert time!!
typically, when a couple orders one portion of dessert, the waiter will serve it with two forks. but super waiter served the dessert with only one fork and he told fat X, usually we cut this dessert into two portions and serve it with two forks. but today half of it is for the mummy and half of it is for the baby, so i’m just giving you one fork.
when we left, super waiter wished me a safe delivery! awww… so sweet X3
to end off this post, i shall attempt to shock you with baba and bubu’s estimated weights –> 1.5kg and 1.9kg. this means i am carrying a friggin 3.4kg worth of babies, plus other funky stuff like water bags, placentas, fat cells etc!! no wonder my walking speed is slower than a turtle and only slightly faster than a snail!
fat X was very excited about the 1.9kg baby because “i’m going to have a 5kg newborn!”
to which i coolly replied “and a dead wife“
