(209) the customer is king...
During lunch today, Laogong told Em and Jon about his recent encounter with an obnoxious customer. I would have handled the situation differently and to my surprise, the kids agreed with the way Laogong had handled him.
So, the customer is NOT always king! And here's one of the many creative ways to handle a difficult one.....
WAITER: What would you like to have... Fruit juice, Soda, Tea, Chocolate, Milo, Wine or Coffee?
CUSTOMER: Tea please
WAITER: Ceylon tea, Herbal tea, Bush tea, Honey bush tea, Ice tea or green tea?
CUSTOMER: Ceylon tea
WAITER: How would you like it ? Black or white?
CUSTOMER: White
WAITER: Milk, Creamer or Condensed milk?
CUSTOMER: With milk
WAITER: Goat milk, Camel milk or Cow milk?
CUSTOMER: With cow milk please
WAITER: Milk from Freeze land cow or Afrikaner cow?
CUSTOMER: Ummm, I'll take it black
WAITER: Would you like it with sweetener, sugar or honey?
CUSTOMER: With sugar
WAITER: Beet sugar or cane sugar?
CUSTOMER: Cane sugar
WAITER: White, brown or yellow cane sugar?
CUSTOMER: Forget about tea. Just give me a glass of water instead
WAITER: Mineral water or still water?
CUSTOMER: Mineral water
WAITER: Flavoured or non-flavoured?
CUSTOMER: I'll rather die of thirst

(208) winners & losers...
A winner is always part of the answer.
A loser is always part of the problem.
A winner always has a plan.
A loser always has an excuse.
A winner says: 'Let me do it for you.'
A loser says: 'That is not my job.'
A winner sees an answer for any problem.
A loser sees a problem for any answer.
A winner sees a green near every sandtrap.
A loser sees two sandtraps near every
green.
A winner says: 'It may be difficult but it's possible.'
A loser says: 'It may be possible but it's too difficult.'
What are you?

(207) SUPER-PISSED!
Never ever assume...
Never take others for granted...
You may just upset someone's plans...
It's always courteous to ask first!

(206) is surrender an option?
After all the hullabaloo...
After that run-in...
After Ben's pep talk...
Jon finally gave up DOTA...
Only to be sucked into the world of HALO 3...
To wage his war in defence of humanity!!

(205) mum can cook...
I cooked lunch today. It was only fish porridge but it was very yummy fish porridge. Every spoonful was a generous serving of fish slices, strips of omelette, chopped spring onion and finely-sliced ginger. Laogong wanted a second helping but he was not allowed to cos he's supposed to watch his waistline.
Somebody woke up at 3pm today (and that was after I kept kicking at her bed). That somebody did not get up immediately. She continued lazing in bed and finally came downstairs at 4pm for TRUNCH! (TRUNCH = Tea+Breakfast+Lunch)
Because the porridge was cooked in a different way from the maid's, that somebody said, 'Wahhhh... you bought the porridge, is it?' Yeah, yeah... I know I seldom cook but that doesn't mean I can't cook!

(204) self-denial...
I am not fat. I have not put on weight.
I can't believe I was doing it wrong all these years.
This is the CORRECT method to weigh yourself!
