A Barista’s Kinda Girl

December 3rd, 2006

i dont know why, but it seems that free dessert just comes my way all the time. not that i’m complaining of course, i am milking this to the very end :D

the latest in my freeloader saga - i ordered an espresso blended coffee at starbucks, but only after asking the barista if there was milk or cream in it. he said no, there’s no milk or cream at all, just coffee and espresso and ice. so okay lah i believe, cos i’m not a barista right. what do i know, right. but when i got my drink, it was so obvious there was milk in it. so i asked him again if there was milk in it, because i sure as hell can taste milk! (of course, all said very sweetly with a confused look on my face) but then he insisted that noooooo, really dont have milk. okay whatever, no milk then no milk lah.

but a few minutes later, he comes up to me looking all worried, and asks if … i’m allergic to milk. hehehehehehhee. and so i reply with Grammy-worthy shock; “yeahhhhhh! i’m lactose intolerant!!! why?!?! is there really milk in this?! but just now you said dont have!!!”

heehee. so guess who got free cake :D starbucks rocky road is the yum.

and guess who got a free venti-sized americano..!!! lactose intolerant mah. i just hope they dont see me pouring milk into this.

right now i’m having a lot of fun playing face-games with this cutie who’s sitting at the next table. soooo adorable. he’s got these orange-coloured booties on, and he keeps crying everytime he finishes the Snyder chips his dad put on a little plate for him. and now he’s got one of those little Starbucks lollipops, and is waving it around in the air.

it’s so fun being a kid. you dont have to study econs or world religion. and you dont have to deal with your mother borrowing your shoes and ruining them. all you do is sit around eating lollipops!

okay lah sometimes i sit around doing nothing but eat lollipops and Snyder chips. i’m still a kid wat.

    you broke up with the martian?? i thought things were all lovely and all?

    and then made up? lol…
    man… you have such explosive relationship….

    i wish you the best and shall say hie whenever I see you in s’bux, since I’ve identified that you’re a heavy coffee lover.

    Oh, and if you really love coffee, there’s this coffee tasting party at ETC, the Curve. It’s this store on the first floor that sells only coffee items.

    Let me know if you’re keen on attending and drinking espresso.

    my email and msn is wwjdnic@hotmail.com

    you people should see how she does it. i swear to you she’s got it down to a science. all she does is giggle a little, start jumping up and down, and give that smile. that damn smile… and then she gets all her free desserts.
