never know

I have some funny friends.
And sitting opposite to me at the cafe was one. Now he was concentrated on picking the meat out from his plate of Indonesian fried rice.
' How come? I told the chef not to cook pork into my fried rice. The rice tasties not bad, though'.
I asked, 'so, you mean you are vegetarian now?' I kinda was laughing inside at the sight of his overweight figure.
' Er, I don't know. But I do eat some meat because a small quantity is good for health. So, I eat sausages.'

So I guess besides the terms like ova-vegetarian, maybe he could be categorized into sausage-vegetarian. Ha ha.

Buying books on the net is a really tricky test to the patience.

First time at the of July I ordered books from dangdang, the so called the largest net bookstore in the world. It was not until 8 days later on the morning of Saturday I got a bad and loud knock at the door. Half-naked I jumped out of bed,worried about any incurrence of emergency. I signed hurriedly on it, but when I read the receipt I found the favourite one out of three books was not there in the parcel.
I rang customer service up.
' The book was not available when we sent out the parcel. But now there are in total 6 books in Beijing. If you like, you can order now from our web.'
'But how about the postage? That means I have to pay the shipment once again and wait for another 8 days? Or, maybe the parcel arrives with nothing inside. It's your fault when you didn't check your availability when taking my orders.'
' I will talk to my manager and give you the bonus ticket.'
She continued to explain the bonus ticket but she couldn't put that on my account. I had to wait till monday, two days later she could try to do it.
'But why didn't you inform me of it?'
'We wrote a mail to you already.'
'Why didn't you send short message, since you did send one when you got the money from my bank card.'
She continued in a cold tone and I sensed no slice of apology.
'Ok, if this is the way. This is my first time on dangdang, and the last time. Put my money back to my card.'

I found the book on joyo.com and others. I began checking the arrival info at my account colume. Aug 5 was the day I ordered; Aug 8 they sent out the parcel; Aug 9, 10:40 am the parcel arrived at Hangzhou.
Yesterday on 12nd, I called their delivery company twice. Their answer was: we might deliver this afternoon or tomorrow.'
I waited not daring to leave my room, after declined an invitation from friend and work offer too. And now it was 17:38, four full days and 7 hours after, I am still waiting...
For the loud knock at my door. And this time, I am going to greet them, fully naked?
