I was amazed and in shock when i got this in return...


Last Thursday was my cousin's birthday and there were plans to go out to eat...who doesn't like eating especially when u're told that it's free food right?

Well, so i eat light at work because i get full really easily...infact had just a Shrimp egg roll...The dinner venue website was posted on the e-vite so of-course i looked it up excitedly to prepare myself since the name was really fancy...(u know, as a proper african, didn't want to have to go embarass myself) I looked up the food menu and noticed the names itself were "funny"...they had a few pictures up there that i had concluded had to be desserts...

So we're at the venue about 8:30 and everyone welcoming each other...we're given a private area and i bet everyone was enjoying the atmosphere...cocktail orders were taken, the names i must say were also "funny" too, (should have been my clue to what was to become)thank God they explained what they were at the bottom so i settled for a mango moulin (i think that's what it was called)....i'm not much of a drinker but i'm used to getting slightly induced alcohol fruit drinks, u know, like the daiquiries and all...This mango whatver it is was nothing similar...the vodka in it was "serious".... had it half way when i tasted someone else's pineapple delight and wanted that instead...vodka induced pineapple juice...lol... but much better than the mango moulin....

By the time i was done with my drinks, i had already started getting dizzy, was beginning to wonder why the heck i was dizzy and my head was heavy when i realized that i had not eaten all day and had alcohol flowing through me...of-course i got impatient and kept asking when food orders were going to be taken, it was already past 9 and we had not eaten yet...

So they started taking food orders, i didn't want any starters as i had already convinced myself that those things are a gimmick, make u full before the main dish so i generally don't get them...was saving my stomach for the real deal...well, it didn't make it better that everyone around got sushi which is a no-no for me....(i'm a bush girl...u can take the girl out of the bush but u can't take the bush out of her...wareva)

Anyway, place my food order and was really happy to wait for it whilst people ate their rice and raw fish....

I was amazed, in shock, distressed when i got the picture at the top back as my food..."ki le leyi?"(what is this?) was my first reaction...the next thing was "this is not my food"...

the round green things are cantaloupes...the orange one is sliced carrot sitting ontop of a squarish looking baked rice and two that's the chicken on top with God knows what kinda sauce....u should also be able to see the nuts they have on the plate....To be honest, it was nice...but i would have had to have eaten like 3-4 of those before i get satisfied...

I was just thinking about that when the babe sitting opposite me was complaining that she could not finish the 3 small pieces of steak that was on her order(i mean, my chicken pieces were bigger than her steak)...i was not sure why and was truly shocked...something about it being a lot of meat to eat....Two guesses: she really does not like meat or because the guy sitting directly opposite her likes her and she was cautious.... or the one sitting beside her....

oh a third guess would have been the fact that i've stopped caring bout people looking or any guy and just eating...
