Honey Lemon Lime

I woke up this morning feeling tired. But, I do feel a bit re-charged in a way. You see, yesterday evening, I decided to break my routine. I met up with a friend from my writing group for dinner instead of heading straight home like what I usually do.
A few minutes after we sat down at a cafe, my mobile phone rang. I checked and was surprised to see 2 missed calls from an old friend - we were National Committee’s (NC)members or an undergraduates’ association, though from different universities. A bunch of us used to travel for overseas conferences together in our younger years and were quite close.
We chatted a bit and he asked whether I was free for dinner, ie on the same night. I declined, got appointment, etc. There were a few more missed calls from him after that & I was starting to get irritated. Then, I saw another ex-NC member walked in with a big grin. He turned around and headed straight to our table. I put on my glasses and only then realised that the other guy was seated at another table at the end and had been watching me all along. LOL!
They asked me to join them but obviously I couldn’t. Besides, they were with a few juniors who knew me, but whom I couldn’t remember at all. I’m really bad with faces.
Anyway, my friend and I stuffed ourselves. I ordered a Smoked Salmon Sandwich and Orange Ginger Cake, delicious & she, Spaghetti Bolognaise & a huge piece of Apple Crumble. The honey lemon lime homemade tea was too sour though. The lychee mint tea she ordered was nice. When I called the waiter again, for the umpteenth time, to order coffee, he gave me a look of disbelief, as if reluctant to bring us anymore food. Hello, I wasn’t asking him to eat on our behalf. LOL!
Well, I was meant to break my routine:)
