The Ice Cream Bonanza
Whoo!
Finally, the dreaded Bio test is over.
But I still have another Sejarah test and another Bio test. Sigh~ What's life without things that make you miserable?
Oh wells. At least I passed my Grade 8 Piano Practical. 109 marks out of 150. I actually feel proud of myself. Taking into account that I prepared one month ahead of the date of exam and crammed in my scales one week before the exam. Heh.
Yeah well, this week has been pretty hectic. If I'm not studying at home, I'll be doing statistics. Ugh. Statistics of the ice cream sale that is. Trying to find out how much stock we still have and how much more to order, calling the factory up to badger them about the arriving stock, counting the money, counting the loss and profit, worrying about whether we can finish selling the entire ice-cream stock -
I mean, like you people know, the school prefectorial board is holding an ice-cream sale now. Hahaha.
But seriously, I learnt something really important during this ice-cream sale: Lodge kids adore ice-cream.
But I guess aside from the hustle and bustle of everything, the ice-cream sale has been quite fun. Especially when Cas is around to pester everyone who is selling the ice-creams.
What do I mean?
*clears throat*
The things Cas has done during the ice-cream sale:
1) While trying to attract people to buy ice-cream...
Cas: Buy one tub of Magnum and you get a free Alicia!
Alicia: (annoyed) CAS! STOP IT!
Cas: (tries a diff tactic) Fine then. Buy one tub of Magnum and get one free Mao Ling!
Mao Ling: Oh shut up Cas!
Cas: (looks naughtily at me who's currently selling something) Buy five Magnums and get one free Siaw Hui!
Me: WHAT??!!
Cas: (louder) BUY FIVE MAGNUMS FREE SIAW HUI! BUY FIVE MAGNUMS FREE SIAW HUI!
Lionel: (who is standing nearby) Serious? Buy five Magnums get Siaw Hui?
Me: That sounds so wrong! Cas, I am not free!
Lionel: (whispers to Brandon) Get five Magnums and get Siaw Hui!
Me: NO YOU DON'T! I AM NOT FREE FOR ANYTHING YOU BUY!
Cas: (still leaping around joyfully) Buy 5 Magnums get one Siaw Hui!
Me: (exasperated) You come here, Cas! I'm so going to beat you up!
Cas and I scamper around the ice-cream machine, with Cas singing joyfully, FIVE MAGNUMS FREE SIAW HUI
Lionel: (watching the scene and points at me) I don't think I want to buy 5 Magnums to get her.
2) On another occasion...
Cas: Buy 2 Magnums get one Akmal!
Akmal looks annoyed but says nothing.
Cas: Buy 5 Magnums get Siaw Hui!
Akmal: HEY! Am I worth less than Siaw Hui?
That's not the point, Akmal, if you haven't noticed we're free gifts.
3) While trying to persuade Cikgu Susanna...
Cas: Cikgu, if you don't buy ice-cream, Siaw Hui is gonna run her car into yours.
Me: WHAT??!!
Cikgu: Wah, serious ah. This Siaw Hui so mean wan mer?
Cas: Yealar Cikgu.
Me: I don't drive a car neither do I own one. So I can't ram a car into yours Cikgu.
Cas: Ah, but you learn to drive next year right?
What is she suggesting?
4) Cas tries to blackmail people into buying ice-cream...
Cas: (yells at the little kids) You better buy ice-creams ah!
She points at a blank me.
Cas: You see, this girl is the Head Girl. If you don't buy ice-creams, she's going to demerit you!
Me: HEY!!!
Cas: (adds) And she has a hell lot of offence slips! So you better buy!
Fortunately, the kids thought she was raving mad.
5) On another promotion...
Cas: Buy two Magnums and Akmal will kiss you!
Akmal: WHAT??!!
Cas: Buy two Magnums and Vanessa will hug you!
Van: ??
One time, Akmal goes...
Akmal: Buy two Minis and get one free Mini (referring to Emm of course)
Janet: Seriously? Got promotion mer?
Emm: He's saying buy two Minis and get me.
Me: Emma, that's so wrong.
Emm: I know.
While checking the ice-cream stock on day one...
Akmal: What other ice-creams haven't arrived yet?
Me: Well, still got two boxes of Triple Choc Rush.
Akmal: Anymore?
Me: Oh yeah, the Minis aren't here yet hor?
Emm: (rummaging through the fridge, counting ice-creams, thinking we're talking about her) I'm here!
Apparently Emma thinks she's sooooo popular just because kids keep coming up to us to buy Minis. Ah, cheap skate girl. Hehehe.
Dropping coins in the fridge is not a good idea...
Me: (handing change over) Here you go -
The 10 cent I'm holding drops into the bloody fridge.
Akmal: Aiyah you clumsy pot!
Several seconds later, he drops a 20 cent coin in the fridge.
When I spot the 20 cent in the fridge...
Me: Hey got twenty cent!
I try to unjam the coin stuck to the side of the fridge.
Me: It's bloody stuck.
Suddenly the coin comes off easily and begins to stick, frozen to my palm.
Let me just say, getting a frozen coin off your hand is painful. ^-^
Yeah well, like what Cikgu Linus Lim said, the biggest project and experience we will have with the prefectorial board will probably be the ice-cream sale.
Finally, the dreaded Bio test is over.
But I still have another Sejarah test and another Bio test. Sigh~ What's life without things that make you miserable?

hahaha...cas is funny! Akmal's tactic is sly, as i have witnessed today. First, he talks to a person and then, he slowly directs them to the ice-cream stand. Man, man.
i think u mean mr linus LEE. kekeke.
and i mean, if bribery doesn't work, we could always try threatening.
admit it, i manage to attract some customers. haha akmal will kiss you..
you're forgetting.. i also said,
"come, come buy yummy ice-cream. i know you want ice-cream.. come and get it... COME AND GET YOUR ICE-CREAMS OR AKMAL WILL SMACK YOU!" haha the lab boy.. mAKMAL.
haha. i support u by buying 1 triple choc and 1 cookies and cream. give you face bah. not good enough kah.. cheh. you chia me lah.. =) jk
QUOTED FROM:
"THIS IS THE AIR I BREATHE"

Thanks guys. All of you who commented and all of you who told me to cheer up. I really appreciate it. Thanks to Anna for being the first one to ask me to smile. Thanks to Cas for leaving a comment asking me to cheer up and even going to extent of smsing me to find out if I was all right. Thanks to Evelyn for encouraging me by telling me that God cares for me. Thanks to Mike, my big "bro" for allowing me to give a ring everytime I'm down and having problems. Thanks to MTYP for telling me that she'll always be my true friend. Thanks to Kok Ming for asking me to cheer up and for apologizing to me about any hurt that I may have, caused by him. Thanks to Van for speaking to me and asking me to feel better. Thanks to Lionel for asking me to stop feeling depressed.
Is there anyone I missed? I don't think so. But if I had, tell me, and I'll thank you heartily. And probably throw in an ice-cream too. Hey, you know what? All of you who helped cheer me up, can come along and I'll belanja you an ice-cream. No sweat. :D Just drop by, gimme a ring, and voila! I'll buy you an ice-cream but of course, not the mega expensive Haagen Das or smth like that. :P
...

hahahahaha! This Cas ar, soooo bad one. Then again, me too XD "BUY 5 MAGNUMS AND TIFFANY WILL POLEDANCE FOR YOU!"
or "Buy 5 magnums and take Siaw Hui home =P"

Anna, I think you mean Akmal will kiss you. Not Adrian. :D:D:D
And yeah Van, Akmal's always been like that.
And yes, Cas, it's Linus LEE not Lim. Slip of mind and fingers on keyboard. And fine, you get an ice-cream. But must be worth 1.50 only ah. HAHAHA...
