yesterday was a day with short soft sunshine. most of the day, the sun still hid away behind the fat grey clouds. the sky was smoky wet and hung low.. i took time reading and writing while opening my shop. though schools closed, the day was not too quiet as some random customers came in to take photocopies and i had a translation work to finish by the end of the day.. seeing the work, i thought i could finish it before i closed my shop and i still had few hours left to lunch out. so i called my sister. knowing that she was working in hatyai, i asked her if she fancied a lunch out with me and a fat boy... i knew the answer would always be a 'yes', if nothing urgent came up. leaving hatyai hospital, she headed to my shop to pick me and kla at 12 am.

we headed to 'the coffee maker', an old coffee shop in a new location. she wanted to try the food there for a while but never had time. upon arriving, we saw that the shop had a couple of office workers feasting on their lunch. there were plenty of delicious-looking foods listed in the menu.. after looking back and forth, we picked our food and it turned out we ordered different kinds of steak. beef steak for kla, pork steak for me and salmon steak for joon. then we ordered a mixed salad with german sausage to eat while waiting for the steaks..

the foods were pretty good but the waiting was painfully long. we had to wait, wait and wait for our steaks to arrive. i read all the magazines the shop provided for the customers and was going to start reading the second round when my steak finally arrived..

p.s. rose, thank you for the comment on the previous post. a comment on writing always encourages a wannabe writer like me keeps on writing.. i would never stop spilling my fleeting thoughts here. it's my sanctuary to let the detained thoughts run wild..
