Gina - Not So Average

Gina is no average gal you'll meet. She's loud, hyper, and funny. I wasn't planning to meet her after having DotA games at E-games with Shawn. But I'm quite glad we met, even though it was only for 2 hours. But over dinner, we chatted a bit and caught up with one another.

We met in Bedok and decided on Long John's (peter.. peter..). She needed air-con because she was so uncomfortable in her blazer and walking around with me. Imagine wearing a full suit and eating at the food centre, she would have collapsed from dehydration. Lolx.

Her many expressions
















































She didn't know I took all these, so all you guys keep it hushed ok? (as if she wouldn't read my blog, but heck anyways lolx)

The portion here was definitely more than the last time I ate at Marina Square and I was satisfied. Ok, I'm going to digress a bit here.

How important is it to impress the service staff even though you, as the customer, should be the one who's impressed? Very important. Not only you'll most probably be returned with good service, you might also have bigger portions! Here's a few tips. Gals, if you don't want to read, you can skip this whole section.

If you see a service staff who looks like she's not had a good day (fussy customers, horrible manager, difficult orders etc), it's time to put on your charm and make her day.

1. The Eyes

Your eyes are the first thing she sees. Having double eyelids work wonders for impression. People tell alot from your eyes, especially if they're well groomed (and coloured).

2. Your Smile

Must I emphasize on this one? Isn't it a 'duh'? Your smile is contagious. You smiling might just be the most beautiful thing she's seen today.

3. Your Greeting

Don't just start by placing your order. Say a simple 'hi' or 'good evening'. You'll be surprised how much that could mean to someone who's not had a single courteous customer all day.

4. Your Smell

People can smell you. Now, you wouldn't want to put her off by smelling bad ya? Moreover, there are also others in the queue. And Gina said I smelt great today, all thanks to Kenneth Cole, sponsored by my mom. (it's a cologne by the way.)

5. Saying 'Thank You'

These words are the best things to end the order. She'll be so impressed, she'll smile back. Trust me on this one. I've done it so many times, and it's worked on all occasions. Courtesy goes a long way.

Yea, so there you are. Simple things to promote better service from the service staff and in return, might just grant you more food. Haha. I'm glad I made her day, because before I came along, that service staff was pulling a black face because she just got scolded from her manager. Like I said, a little extra goes a long way. *smiles*

And so, me and Gina had such a great time talking about Shawn and her work. She was doing some survey when this 30-40 year old came up to her and asked for her msn and phone number. I was laughing my head off but she was so freaked out when she was telling me about it.

Oh yea, our food















And we were making a spectacle of ourselves when we tried to take photos together. I think the whole restaurant was looking at us. Lolx.





























After dinner, she rushed me off saying she wanted to catched her baby. I didn't know who it was and she said Chris. I was like, "Chris? Which Chris?"

Gina: Oh, the rocker in American Idol

ZZzz.. What was that man. Her baby? Is he really that good? Sorry, I haven't had time to catch American Idol in a long time, so I don't really know who's hot and who's not.

Oh. And Jerome called during dinner to ask me whether I wanted to Bnet. I let him talk to Gina a bit and he said something which apparently I couldn't catch and Gina didn't want to tell me.

Gina: Sorry, it's a secret between me and Jerome..

And so, I accompanied her on the train back to Pasir Ris. Along the way, I got so bored I took a great picture of her. Doesn't this seem a little familiar?















Oh yea, now I remember















Lol. We look like some villians right? Haha. Anyway, the Taiwanese guy did call her up just before I got on my bus and she was freaking out. Lolx. Ok ok, I know it's not funny to you Gina, but I found it hilarious that a 30-40 year old would want to chase you.

Oh yea. You guys want to see a video? Gina actually said 'I Love You' to Peter. Hear that? She said she loves me. Now, don't start getting jealous. You guys should know better what she loves me for ya?



Gina, you're such a darling. Now that I've talked so much about you, when is our next date then? I want Shawn to be on our next date too.

Oh. She agrees with me that a person can tell alot from the other person by the first kiss he or she gives. Where did I learn it from? Date Movie, go catch it. Alright, I'm logging off now.

God Bless!!
