*119 - botak jones

Today's dinner with the family (sans Daddy because he's in France, lucky thing) was hilarious! We went to eat at Botak Jones, and when my brother first said that we'ld have to queue for maybe up to 45 minutes, I was wondering what kind of restaurant it was. Then he said it was actually at a hawker center at Ang Mo Kio, which sold real American food for really cheap prices!

The portions were huge and each dish only cost between $7 to $10! Rather salty though, let's pray I don't get kidney failure.



1. Botak Jones' van (great big food in this itty bitty van, damn good food at a damn good price)
2. Joel's 12" hot dog!
3. Breaded jalapenos stuffed with cheese. Powerfully spicy!
4. Elisa with our food (lamb chops for me, Cajun chicken for her)



The funniest part came after dinner. We spotted Mr Jones Himself sitting on a bench a distance away from where we were. Joel & Elisa convinced me that this was The Chance Of My Lifetime and persuaded me to go ask him for a photo!! Of course I chickened out a few times successively, summed up my courage and walked towards him, stopped a few meters away and started giggling and acting like a complete nutcase, while my siblings laughed at me and Mummy stood far away wondering what was happening, and finally figured I would make his day if I asked him for a photo, so I did!

Hoorah I am brave!!

So I sat down next to him and we all had a little chat. He asked if this was going to be on my blog and my sister answered right away "Of course!" Haha. He said he would find this blog somehow by next week but I'm having my doubts. Hehehe.



I know I look idiotic in the photo with my crazy hair and squinty eyes and toothy grin but oh well! Mr Jones looks so cute don't you think? :D

Hello Mr Botak Jones! :D


In other news, I was enthusiastically doing ballet in the shower today but accidentally kicked the faucet and stubbed my toe so hard that I had to sit down & grab my toes in pain for about 5 minutes.

[edit: the next morning] Alas, I am a cripple today. -limps off- [/edit]

Also, my sister & I have been practising a crazily difficult piano duet for weeks, and today we finally made it to the end of the 14-paged song in half an hour! (Which pretty much means we were crawling along at a snail's pace.) Four flats, no joke okay! (:
