i was at ikea today for dinner with the family, and this westerner sat at the table beside ours. what struck me was the WHOLESOME-NESS of his meal. he had one appetizer (smoked salmon), one main course (meatballs with pasta), one dessert (apple pie), and a drink which he poured into one of those glasses ikea provides for its customers. and everything was contained on ONE TRAY.
then i looked at my own table, and all the different plates placed haphazardly around the table, in no particular order or fashion.
i was so amused by the glaring contrast, and a bit embarrassed by the messiness of it all.
anyway, he was mumbling to himself throughout his meal and i was unnerved cos it's the 7th month. and i seriously kept playing terrorist scenarios in my head.

being in formal wear from 7-7 is NO JOKE.
