When tipping gets too much

Here is the story:

A fcuking rich business old man treat 5 of his employees to a night of fun at a ktv lounge.
They ran out of whisky, they decided to ordered one.
The waiter acknowledge their order and bring in their new bottle of whisky.
The rich boss tipped the waiter $20 for his effort, the waiter was surprised. ( He wondered whether he should reject his tips... but if he did reject, the big boss might lose face in front of his employee and he might complained against the waiter, so the waiter decided to just take it anyway, just to play is safe)
Hours past, its billing time.
The waiter brought the bill and showed it to the boss, it totalled to $2900. The boss handed $3000 in cash to the waiter.
The waiter got back with $100 in change, the boss again tipped the waiter $50.
What the hell? The waiter earned $70 just for this little effort? The waiter was stunned too. The waiter noticed the boss was in a good mood and so he decided not to spoil his mood by rejecting his tip.
Who is this waiter?
Its me, yours truely.
I am stunned.
Good night.

Eat Tan Yuan, came my home, Singapore Garden Festival, Its Dim Sum - Part 2-

Finally found some time to blog! I had been very tired to blog these days because of commitments. Nonetheless, I told myself I must blog this weekend. And what a time I chose, 5.37am in the morning after I returned home.

And yesh... its the Singapore Garden Festival.

Dear and me reached Suntec and we decided to start exploring from level 6 first before going down to the 4th floor ( 4th and 6th level are where the Singapore Festival are held). We made a smart choice. Why do I say that? You will find out later... 0_OV

Okay, we got our hands "chop" with something I dunno how to describe, and, in we go. First up, we stopped and admired one arguebly the nicest and refreshing garden design over there. It was damn nice la, I hope dear can send me the pictures she has taken and I can post it here for people to see.

We went on and on to other displays. It was a very creative design by many designers from various countries. Hmm, by the way, this exibition was held in Singapore, so what normally happens with Singaporeans attending it? Kiasuism... Unsporting-like, kid-like, anywhere-is-my-home-kinda-attitude.

So, you people tell me: do I still need to elaborate what is going on inside the exhibits? rudesingapore blogspot supporters should camp there and take shots, I bet you can find a million.

After we are done with the 6th, we proceed to the 4th. It was not really a place that displays plants and sorts but rather its a place that SELLS plants and sorts. So dear dear also chip in and bought 2 plants. Yeh... earlier in the paragraph, i mentioned we made a smart choice by going to the 6th floor first... (BUT SO WHAT?) oh... its because my sister also went there, but she went to the 4th floor first, and it spoil her visiting mood straight away and decided to do away with the 6th floor. I reckon we might do the same if we start at 4th floor. Haha.

After that, dear dear treat me dinner at It's Dim Sum. Ordered many nice foods. Beside yum, I dunno what else to say.... so let me yum again.... comma, yum.

Ok, after that, we went shopping around. But I was getting tired and finally we headed back home. Home is the battery charger, we are the batteries. Batteries need recharging, we need recharging. =]
