I'm a Starbucks addict.
Almost everyday after lunch, we would stop by the outlet in Pusat Bandar Damansara for our daily Venti dose of Skinny Hot Chocolate and Coffee-based Caramel Frappucino with whipped cream. And if we don't go out, we'd call everyone to see if anyone is anywhere near one! The Friendfinder service by Maxis makes more sense now than before. If only it came preset as a standard feature for all! Haha
The Brat Pack:
N: Chatterbox; Drives an S-Class to work;
L: Ferragamo Queen; Recently won the Harvard Jackpot
I: Fashion Addict; Gets high on Perfumes
L invited N and I out for lunch one day at Penang Village Desa Hartamas. We met up with L's old friend from Uni, who brought along another friend. The food was alrite but, something was amiss...
Starbucks!!!
Somehow that day became a test of will, survival, devotion and loyalty.
We soon discovered that I had left my wallet in the office but managed to find 6 bucks in my pocket, L had only 20 bucks left after paying for her car wash and parking, and N is now skint with nothing to her name! So in the end, we had only 30 bucks to get ourselves caffeinated.
With our sugar levels dropping rapidly, L took the streets like never before and sent N off for the mission. After a long wait, the phone rang:
"Get me more money! Quick!" shouted N. We started laughing hysterically as L dug for more change in the ash tray. I rushed inside and found N waiting innocently at the counter with the unimpressed barista looking on, on the other side.
Swearing to ourselves that we would never be poor again, we rushed to L's car, got in and laughed profusely. The results?
We got:
1 X smallest-sized Skinny Hot Chocolate;
2 X smallest-sized Caramel Frappucino, no whipped cream, no extra caramel sauce;
and a 3-sen change!
While others would survive on rice and salt, what would spoilt brats do if they were down to their last buck? Well, now you know! Heheh
Lessons Learnt?
Keep a can of whipped cream in the car!
