Until today I never realised how much people love a)coke glasses and 2. ice cream. Well, the coke glass thing was actually Wednesday.

As a side note, I’m sorry I haven’t been updating very well. I recently started rewatching heroes (Zachary Quinto!) from season 1 and now I can’t stop. I just like train watch episode after episode after episode. :S No time to waste on blogging!

Anywhos. Yes, so we didn’t have coke glasses in stock on Wednesday because it was the last day of the pink glasses. So there wasn’t much point in ordering in new pink stock, because the next day we were changing to blue anyways. And for the past few weeks my manager seems to keep stationing me as the order-taker so that pretty much seems to be my default station now, so I was cashiering the whole day. And there were soooo many people who actually got so upset that we didn’t have coke glasses that day. There was a lot of “HUH!? NO COKE GLASS!” and “SO I WON’T GET ANY COKE GLASS IF I UPSIZE!!”-ing and people actually decided that they would come again tomorrow instead so they could get the glass then. Not just one, okay, like maybe 10 people? I was so surprised. I mean, it’s not that beautiful a glass.... right?? Maybe I’m just asthetically challenged.

And then today, our ice cream machine was spoilt. Like all it was giving out was hot sundae-mix. Yum. And by “Yum”, I mean Gross. So no ice cream. And I actually saw people’s JAWS DROP in shock and horror (I kid you not) as they went “HUH!? NO ICE CREAM!” (Singaporeans don’t seem very creative with their expressions of shock. Standard “HUH!? NO [insert missing item]!”) The best part was that people usually order ice cream in groups. Anthropological fact that I observed recently. The ice cream tribes gather far away from the counter, then one initiative-taking person will take everyone’s order and then step forward to place the order in. So I would tell the brave representative that I was sorry but we didn’t have ice cream at the moment, watch their world crumble as they realised they couldn’t have macs ice cream that day, and then watch them shuffle back to their little friends and watch that same reaction but like times 5. It was quite amusing to watch how affected they were by the fact that they couldn’t have their mcflurry. Poor things. On the other hand, I was super happy because no ice cream machine means that the probability of me blowing up the mcflurry-making machine drops from about 98% to a safe and assuring 0%. Hurray. I’m thinking of damaging it permanently.

Also, I’m super bummed that Adam lost out to friggin Kris. Ugh. Mum called me and woke me up yesterday and broke the news to me, with a somewhat insensitive “KRIS WON KRIS WON!!!” in light of the fact that she KNOWS I’m a Fanbert. Sigh. It’s okay, Adam. I still love you and that’s all that matters. We’ll be mature about it, take it in our stride. You know, avoid being drawn into the superficial shallowness of stardom... That outfit that Kris was wearing on the results show TOTALLY made him look fat on camera anyways. You looked sooo much better, gf.
