Went to Wong Kok Restaurant with mum and Aunty Alice for dim sum brunch. This was the first time I brought Aunty Alice out for brunch on a public holiday since she moved in to stay with us.
Had to wait for a few minutes since the restaurant was jam packed with people. Met some distance relatives (my late dad’s cousins and their families).
When the people sitting nearest to the entrance left, mum walked up to the table to book the table. I told her she was jumping the queue since she already told the waitress upon arrival how many people would be sitting on our table.
When she saw the waitress, she asked whether we could occupy that table and the waitress answered in the affirmative. But then a lady came up to mum and told her she was jumping queue. Mum answered back by saying the waitress allowed us to sit there.
This time I found that the dim sum were not as delicious as when I had them with Adam Barclay when he came for vacation during last year’s Harvest Festival.
After dim sum, we dropped by L.T.S. Supermarket behind New Emperor Restaurant for grocery shopping.
On the way home just outside the road near New Emperor Restaurant, the car jerked and stopped suddenly.
Tried as I might to start it again, I could not. I did not panic though I was obstructing traffic on a public holiday. Thank God it did not happen during a working day. Drivers were patient to wait for their turns to get out from that road.
I called my colleague to tell him to inform his cousin who is a mechanic to come to my rescue. I was relief to find out that he did not go anywhere during this holiday period.
The problem was the battery had gone kaput. The mechanic managed to help me to jump start the car so that I could drive to Taman Bunga Raja to my friend’s shop to change the battery. The mechanic did not charge me for anything however minor it was.
I did not have anything else to eat the rest of the day and only ate again during dinner. I had a good rest, trying to catch up on some sleep and read.
In the evening as I was fidgeting on the digital camera (as there was a stain on the lens), suddenly the lens cover could not close. I had spoiled the camera. :( Shucks!
