.what's wrong with me?.
have you ever encountered a situation when you wannna take away food from a hawker centre and have no idea which stall to choose? And not knowing what to choose, a long queue from a particular stall got your attention and you soon found yourself joining the queue?
I am sure everybody experiences this before. I AM SURE. Of course... provided you are not rush for time :P
About an hour ago, I was at my neighbourhood area and decided to take away food home.. and then I saw a chicken rice stall with ENDLESS queue. Naturally, I got curious and wondered WHY THE HELL IS THERE A LONG QUEUE? So... i joined in the queue!
10 minutes later, I found myself only halfway through the queue... and I found myself damn dumb. 10 minutes for a chicken rice which might not be as tasty as what i thought. argh. I am dumb... but I would have felt dumber if i had left the queue for something else... SO... I persist on.
And after a long 20minutes wait ALONE, I finally ordered :"UNCLE, CHICKEN RICE 1 PACKET." Again, I felt dumb. Other people in front of me were ordering average of 5 packets and I only ordered ONE?! I really felt I lost out a lot... then.... this question popped out :" Xiao Di.. You want $2 or $3? $3 got more meat. " HAHAHA.. and guess what? I said.. "$3 lor" ... when I knew $2 is definitely SUFFICIENT. Again, I felt dumb. I wanted to change the order, but I felt dumb. So I kept quiet.
Once i got my chicken rice, I was kinda satisfied + feeling very dumb... and I walked to my car and drove home. Oh.. when i left the stall, the queue was super ultra long still.
Home sweet home. I opened up my packet of rice and indeed, I saw more meat but pathetic amount of rice and chilli sauce. I felt so dumb ONCE AGAIN. I ended up finishing all the rice and what was left was lots of chicken meat. argh.
Get what i mean? I am dumb. In the first place, I should have sticked with the $2 chicken rice, since I believe the catch of the queue was because the stall is cheap?! ( I presume since I believe my mum can definitely match the standard after eating it. ) BUT... Kiasuism got into me and at that very instance I thought I should buy the bigger one so i won't lose out so much. Erm. dumb? Yes. Dumb Dumb Dumb.
A Dumb day indeed.
SO the morale of the story is...
DON'T QUEUE FOR FOOD. ALWAYS GET THE ONE WITH NO BUSINESS UNLESS YOU REALLY KNOW THE STALL IS GOOD. WASTE TIME. WASTE PARKING FEES. AND.. FEELING SO DAMN RETARDED.
