A nice cuppa Starbucks for Tissue Auntie

Attire: Pink Dress
Venue: Starbucks, Pacific Plaza

The Starbucks counter guy handed over my order of "Chai Tea Frappacinno". I commented that it looks darker than the usual Chai Tea hmm.. he then realised that that was "Chocolate Cream", giving me my new drink and asking me to keep the Chocolate Cream!

I pushed it back to him, saying it was "on us" but he insisted we have all 3 drinks..3 drinks for the price of 2, including our order of Java Chip Frappacinno! He prolly have a daily 4 servings of Starbucks drinks to accompany his 3 meals and "coffee break" so he doesn't want more *grins*

Liz said i should give it to some cute guy.. but i was afraid tt the guys here may tink tt i have spiked the drink lol. So we decided to give the Tissue auntie..

Walked across the road to find the Tissue Auntie outside LIDO.. she had a mat of stuff and was standing there.. my heart aches when i always see the elderly having to work..

I passed Tissue Auntie the Starbucks Chocolate Cream:
"Auntie, Ni yao bu yao her ka fei? Ge ni her.. (dunno how to say chocolate cream in Chinese!)"
She held it the drink, looking at is.. tilted the drink and the whipped cream nearly came out.
"Ni her.."holding the drink near her lips.
She took a sip..
"Hao her ma?"
She nodded and looked rather shy in a half smile..

Liz and I waved at her..had a feel-good feeling coming over me, yet worried that people may misunderstand seeing her drink it, thinking that she had used donations to buy such stuff..also wondered if she would actually enjoy the drink or put it aside..

After parting ways, I asked Liz to see if Auntie drank it as she walked in the other direction. She called me to say Tissue Auntie was packing up to go, and saw that she finished every sip of the STARBUCKS drink which was on the ground nr her stuff..

Yay!
