Cely 完美的一天

You… You… You… You Cannot Take Pictures!

Jian and I were taking pictures of my food and interior of the restaurant, just how like I always do whenever I visit a new restaurant or cafe.

It was until when the boss, who looked like a late 20’s chao ah beng that has quite about 30-40% resemblence to Singapore’s famous actor Mark Lee 李国煌, came over and spoke to me.

The boss stutters (A speech disorder involving hesitations and involuntary repetitions of certain sounds.).

The conversation was in Mandarin, but translated for blog purpose.

“You… You… You… cannot take pictures, do you know that? Why are you… you… you… taking pictures? Do you… you… you… know that you are scaring away my customers?”

(Just for humoring purpose. “你。。。你。。。你。。。不可以拍照，你知道吗？ 你。。。你。。。你为什么拍照？你。。。你。。。你。。。在吓走我的顾客。”)

“Huh? How does me taking photos scaring your customers? Why I cannot take pictures? I love photography and I want to take pictures to keep, that’s all.”

“You… you… you still cannot take pictures.”

“Why? You tell me why first, then I shall see.”

“You… you… you still cannot take pictures.”

“Why lah?”

The boss left.

Not satisfied with the answer, I proceeded to continue to take my pictures. However, with respect, I took off my external flash and proceeded to take pictures without any flash, to avoid disturbing other customers. On top of that, I have always choose a corner table at the end of the restaurant or a mcuh more quiet area to avoid disturbing other people when I take my pictures. Moreover, there was no “No Camera” sign.

After finishing my meal, I proceeded to call the boss for the bill.

“Boss, I just to love to take pictures. Don’t worry too much.” (I was trying to be nice.)

“You… you… you… still cannot take pictures, do you… you… you know that?” (The boss said with a very disgusted face and bad attitude.)

“What’s the problem?” (I said in a very agitated tone.)

“You… you… you… still cannot take pictures. I… I… I CAN CALL 999 AND ASK THE POLICE TO COME AND CATCH YOU.”

“……” (I was dumbfounded for 3 seconds.)
“Boss, you actually want to call the police to come to catch me just because I take pictures of my food? Are you out of your mind?”

“……”

He left.

I left the restaurant in a very agitated mood and not wanting to go back there again even though the food was quite good.

Later, after coming back from home, when I tried to reenact the scene by speaking like the boss, I realized how funny it was.

I wouldn’t have laugh at him for his stuttering, but when he threatened to call the police to catch me because I was taking pictures inside his shop which has no “No Camera” sign, I couldn’t help it but to find it amusing, ridiculous and absolutely ridiculous.

Amusing, indeed.

P/S : I shall reveal the restaurant when I blogged about it on my own blog. :)

IC pic never look good

I just got my Singapore Identity Card this morning. Well, we (me and HK) applied to be SPR since July. Waited for about 2.5 months for the approval. Oh, please don’t ask me what is the requirement to be SPR, you can read it all here.

After we got our approval letter, we then make an appointment to complete the application with ICA. The process to complete the application was not really hard, just make payment for the entry permit, submit new pictures and print some finger prints to make the identity card.

So we decided to take a new set of IC pictures on that day so that we wont take some unqualified pictures. BUT TURNED OUT TO BE A SET OF FUGLY pictures.

I always told to be expect the unexpected.

My right eye suddenly very itchy and turn red and swollen for no reasons , the friggin 10 minutes before I take picture.

SO SO SO BAD LUCK.

The ‘photographer cum editor’ being very ‘kind’ to help me edit the photo. It become worst. Be prepared to see the ugly me. BIG FACE. SWOLLEN EYE. WEIRD FACE.
