I also met Mr. Johnny Liew from The Design Centre. He is an Interior Designer and he introduced some of the projects to my company. About five years ago, I think it was my sis-in-law who told me who he is when we saw him having lunch at a restaurant we were also patronising but I did not go up to him to introduce myself. Today I introduced myself and he was happy to have finally met me since we have spoken through the phone for almost a decade and have never met. After coming back to Malaysia for so long, he still have British accent.
After church I did not join church friends for lunch because mum needed to do the grocery shopping since we have not done it for a month. I came home for lunch and had two pieces of bread with Yeo’s Vindaloo Chicken, which I had for breakfast as well. For those who cannot take spicy food, I do not recommend you to take the Vindaloo Chicken. The normal curry chicken is still a better choice.
Today there were lots of people at Servay Hypermarket, Likas. I saw Andrew Chan (who also attends Canaanland Celebration like I do) buying packets of coffee which he’s going to bring with him to his company in Indonesia. We also saw Carol Yap, one of the church members from Abundant Life Celebration. She said I have lost a lot of weight. Long time before I know Carol, I already knew her husband Nicholas Pang and her parents-in-law in Sandakan. Nicholas was my senior in school and her parents-in-law were among the ones who gave me rides to church.
Mum and I bought a trolley full and when we were queuing up to pay at the counter, I saw the lady in front of us paying via credit card. Half way through as the cashier was scanning the things we wanted to buy, I got the shock of my life when I saw the sign ‘Cash Only’ appeared in front of me. The credit card facility had suddenly gone offline.
Since I already used cash to give to mum her monthly allowance, to pay the tailor yesterday and gave my tithe this morning, I did not have more than RM200 with me. Mum’s RM50 saved our embarrassment. Otherwise we would have to ask the cashier to take back some of the things we wanted to buy. This was my first encounter and so I better be prepared next time to make sure I still have enough cash as backup for payment. Anyhow, the cashier did remind me there is an ATM outside the hypermarket to save my day or face.
Tonight mum, Chloe and I went out with my brother James’s family and his parents-in-law for dinner at Hong Kong Seafood Restaurant. Mum brought along some of the fishes she bought from Sandakan to the restaurant to ask the cook to steam for us. The restaurant charged RM15 for the service. I thought that was kinda expensive.
My brother ordered slices of beef stir fried with ginger and shallots, ‘ko lo’ chicken, wet buttered prawns and stir fried lettuce. All the dishes tasted nice this time. But the serving of the rice was so small. Most of them ordered extra serving of rice but I did not do that because I had to finish eating the steamed fishes. I think I ate almost half of the dish.
My brother treated us and the bill came to RM117.

Apology that the photos did not turn out good this time round. I must be too hungry since I only had four pieces of bread the whole day and as a result my hands must have shaken while taking them. Plus it was kinda hard to take when everyone was so hungry and just wanted to dive into the food.
