We are very important people

Tonight the family went to Boon Lay Raja restaurant to have dinner. It's a nice little chinese restaurant tucked in this lousy building, but the food they serve is MmmMm. Delish. Food there is better than all those big name restaurants that the family and the extended family like to go for CNY Eve dinners, bday dinners, whatnot gathering dinners etc.

So we were there on a whim, with no booking. When we got there, there are actually not 1 but 2 wedding dinners going on there! So I was like, just detour to somewhere else to eat, but Dad, being the ever resourceful Dad, knows the manager. So in about 15 mins, we got a table. Not bad, dadster.

And guess where we were seated. Right smack in the middle of the wedding tables. Seriously. YOu know chinese restaurant weddings? Parentals take the first table, then relatives second etc? We were the fifth table. How weird is that.

And midway through the meal, the manager came meekly forward, spoke to Dad. Apparently, the wedding party suddenly wanted an extra table, and can we give up our table? Dad was quite amused, so he was like 'ok'. I think it was quite funny too. Until I realise that some other customers would not think so. So I guess, the family's actually pretty easy going eh?
