"I doubt you'll be able to finish that", Shay commented on the huge bowl of Sour and Spicy Tang Hoon that I was having.

I gave her the playful sinister smile and said, "You wanna bet?"

She paused for a while before answering, "Okay!"

A week ago, Shay and I were having lunch at this local food joint serving Taiwanese-styled cuisine. Though I had always been known for having only a handful amount of food, little did she had any clue that I was really in for more than usual that day.

"So, what's in it for me if I win?", I asked.

"Anything..", she said.

"Anything? You sure about that?", I said smiling.

"Err.. yes, anything", she muttered with uncertainty, fearing for what I might have in store for her.

"Well, I shall order a bowl of soup of my choice and you must finish every bit of it", I said.

"Fine! But you must finish yours to the very last bit", she said.

"Fine! Hey, I'm finishing mine soon. Let's order the soup now", I said as I smiled cheekily at her.

Both of us let out a laugh for a while there before we waved for the waitress to add another order for a bowl of seaweed soup. I ordered a small bowl of seaweed soup knowing that even with the given definition of "small", the bowl is way too huge to be considered "small". By then, we only had mere half an hour or so before we head back to the office.

"You've always had very little. So, what's with the appetite?", asked Shay.

"I guessed I was just hungry that's all", I answered.

The soup arrived after about ten minutes.

There's no way Shay could've finished this bowl of soup on her own. She pleaded for me to share the soup with her.

Oh well, being a good friend and all I finally gave in. I asked the waitress to give me an empty bowl. I had a fair share on the soup. It was really tasty and moreover, seaweed is good for girls.
Some kind of bet it turned out to be, huh?
