Really Fine Bubble Tea
Me and shan were innocently galavanting around Orchard Road earlier today. With stomachs full and contented with Biopolis Nasi Briyani, the purchase of new CDs (Emancipation of Mimi, Permission to Land) made utter rapture and nirvana come full circle. The romp around HMV had however, taken its toll, and our thirsty and hot bodies (temperature lah) were coveting the One-A-Cup Bubble Tea outlet located opposite Somerset MRT.
A fiery debate ensued on whether to patronise our pet Cool Cup @ J8. Besides being cheaper and a guranteed better buy, it was also somewhat on the way back to Nick's house. Our sizzled, impatient minds finally opted for the former, and i got myself a $2 cup of Strawberry Yoghurt w/ Jelly drink.
It was the best! A zesty blend of strawberry reinforced by the creamy texture that is unquestionably yoghurt. I savoured my glorious beverage as we both lugged our new and prized wares down to the Somerset station.
Being the undeniable Goody Two Shoes i was (and im not talking about my Air Force Ones here), i stopped before tapping my (sl)EZ-link card to the counter, glancing about warily for any signs that prohibited the consumption of drinks. The images of "No Durians", "No Smoking", "No Pets" streamed into my head. With the station being bereft of any food warnings, we both carefreely skipped in.
As we made our way down to the MRT train tracks, an automated voice boomed over the loudspeaker: "Attention, there is to be no consumption of food or drinks in the MRT station or the MRT trains at all times". We shrugged it off and noted the coincidence that we had just brought in our Bubble Tea containers.
"Attention, there is to be no consumption of food or drinks in the MRT station or the MRT trains at all times" rang throughout the station once again, prompting Shan to giggle girlishly and suggest i wave my cup in front of what we thought was a security camera.
The train approached and the third warning bounced off our thick hides. Just as we were about to enter, this lanky Indian approached us wearing a stern countenace too baggy for his face.
"Come with me. I am going to write you a summons for $500." was his cool reply. Like obedient dogs, we followed him to the conductor's station and handed him our ICs.
It was only then that the gravity set in.
OMFG OMFG OMFG! $500????? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh!!!!! I was genuinely remorseful and regretful of my actions (really!!) and put on quite a good act when he asked for my school.
"You're supposed to be the cream of the crop. How can you do such a stupid thing as this? Aren't you Singaporean?" and countless other rehearsed lines spouted from his (no offence) fugly face. What's worse, shan went and lied about his school OMFG. He then mentioned something about putting our names on the database and that if we get caught a second time that we would face punishment, suspension and SIGH.
If he ended off like that, i would have happily pranced out and ignored the gravity of the situation. Unfortunately (or should i say niggerly), he went and added that he would pardon us, but it was still ultimately up to his supervisor on whether we would be fined. "The fine will be sent by mail if that's the case" was his cryptic farewell message.
AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Stuck in a black book for life! Going to get kicked out of school! Going to get fined $500!!! (Notice the 3 exclaimation marks for the last one...)
I hope that despite the fluctuating weather now, his supervisor isn't sick (read: cranky) and trigger-happy for fining innocent minors for drinking in a MRT station.
Upon further inspection when we were back in the station, we noticed the "No Eating" sign camouflaged with great subterfuge behind the station information. Who the heck would see that? Its not like we were going to release Sarin Bubble Tea into the stations or worse, litter...
Stupid uninformative site has nothing on their protocol and how to deal with first-time offenders. There i go all hyper and pessimistic and Chicken Licken once again...
And pa: Dont talk to me about this until we get the fine.
