Lizard Woman

just got back from a dinner at the Bar & Billard Room and met a most astonishing lady whom I will refer to as the Lizard Woman. She was accompanied by this young man named Chris Chua, whom I overheard as he entered before us and another young lady who's name I did not manage to catch. However, this Lizard Woman's name is Grace, that much we know from her exchanged words. LW was seated beside us, thus we saw the entire story unfold.

Lets start with the way they went for the food at the buffet. They went for the sashimi first, followed by the oysters. They heaped oysters on their plates and sashimi in abundant amounts and went for the beef broth soup. After they finished their oysters and sashimi, they went for the alaskan crab and mud crab, though in much smaller amounts. All of a sudden, they made some noise, and got the floor manager to them and said there was a LIZARD on the table.

Now, we all know that the Bar & Billard Room is at the Raffles Hotel. It has an open dining concept, and there are gardens surrounding the place. Some nature might decide to be daring and venture into the place, which I seriously doubt, and if there was a lizard, I would want to see it for myself! However, LW and company didn't shout or scream when they saw this mysterious lizard and could calmly ask for the floor manager who had to attempt to explain the incident until he eventually offered to escalate the case to the manager which appeased LW. Even though the floor manager wasn't totally up to par with service standards as he went "huh?" a few times during the conversation and cut LW's words, you had to appreciate his calmness in the midst of such behaviour. Eventually, LW was appeased enough and the floor manager went to call his superior to inform of such an incident.

Miraculously, LW still had the appetite to walk and got bread and butter whilst the manager of the Bar & Billard Room came to the place to talk and find out what happened. Wow! (sense sarcasm here, in case you haven't gotten it) I mean, if you were really traumatised by this incident enough to report it, how would you even have the appetite to continue eating?

As the manager and LW talked, I only managed to catch bits and pieces of the conversation, and it eventually left talk about the lizard (whom I have no idea where it went to as I didn't see it at all) and became talk about the floor manager!

After awhile, they all left to go to the manager's office, and that was the end of the scene at the Bar & Billard room, with minimal disruption to the rest of the diners. The floor manager went around later and asked if everything was alright with the surrounding diners, ourselves included.

Now, we got to thinking. If you were really there for a buffet, with the full course around, you would normally go for starters, then the main course, and finally, the dessert, which would be expected if you went for a place like the Bar & Billard Room. Yet, LW and company went for sashimi and oysters (which weren't very fresh for the matter. Tasted weird to us.) and the other expensive stuff. There was no sight of the lizard at all, so where was the lizard? It is a 5-star hotel dining area, so what are the probabilities of lizards dropping onto tables?

Going by the usual service standards, I would presume that LW would get her dinner free along with some other compensation. But this whole scenario is so fishy!! LW had a diamond ring on, which bling-ed even in the lighting of the Bar & Billard room. was made up of smaller diamonds in a row set on a diamond band, so maybe it reflected a lot of light? I don't know. So what if you are wearing and using branded stuff and you do such ridiculous behaviour? My mom joked later during dinner that we should say that there's a tiger under our table and we would get our dinner free. -grin-

So friends, please, keep a lookout for LW and maybe one day you'll get lucky and spot her too!
