Dinner Night

I was feeling a little down again today, actually quite awful and frustrated by the time I met my friends. It may have started out very early in the day where I was just too excited to have finished measuring out the building very quickly and soon realised that someone was not very detailed in recording all the measurements done. And therefore, we had to go back and measure some parts of it again. Anyway, it was still all good. Until.. I got onto the bus and picked a seat at the back of the bus where there was one very stinky person. I was trapped! The bus was so full, people were already starting to fill up the aisle. I was in this stupid condition during my 10-15 minutes bus ride because of heavy traffic! It was just plain awful.

Not until I reached the place where my friends and I were meant to meet up that I got really frustrated. They haven't left yet. There was no way I would have waited at least 30 minutes for them to get there. It was quite a dodgy place you see. I did say at one point to forget it and just have dinner on another night but because I didn't want to disappoint  my friends, I still agreed to have it tonight. So I proceeded to stop at a 'better' station and decided I'd go to the toilet during my 30min wait for them. OH MY. As I queued up, a person came running towards the toilet and spewed right next to me. It was as if he could not hold it in anymore. As he opened the toilet door he spewed once again on the door!! At this point, I was really grossed out and was so close to just leave all together.

Anyway, I found the nearest priceline and totally forgot all about it. I was in total drugstore makeup haven so I was quite content, trying out testers and finding new shades of lipsticks. All the things that could make a girl happy. Once I reached the station to get on the train, my friend just would not pick up her phone. I really didn't care anymore and thought I'd jump into the first train I see. But I met her and we went to have dinner at El Jannah. The place was not so packed yet but it was already very busy. Our food came out in less than 5 minutes I would say, it was the fastest customer service ever. Maybe even better than buying a burger! The chicken had very crispy and very very very salty skin. It was good when combined with the yummy garlic sauce. My plate also had pickled gherkins and radish. I, for one, hate pickled stuff (an exception for Korean pickled radish) and so there was no chance I was going to eat all of it.

All was well until an African male who seemed to have been so stoned, came to our table (sat next to me) and started speaking gibberish, asking for money. Oh, I've had nightmares about things like these! Imagine if he had a knife and stabbed me if I didn't give him all my valuables. Or if he assaulted me! Or him and his group of friends (on the other side of the street) bashed us up or kidnapped us! Oh, the drama of living in Sydney's notorious western suburbs.

Ok, now we made way to this dessert place. It was nice, everything was sweet except for the ice cream. They weren't the best in my opinion but some of the sweets I really liked and some, well let's just say, not so much my favourites. I would probably not go back there again just because I don't feel like it's worth my travel time and there are shops around here that make those too. It was a good night although I am now realising that it was best to have had this another time because I still have not done the things needed by tomorrow! No sleep tonight..
