Perception from a waitress

In the eyes of a waitress at a HKJC restaurant, this simple piece of cake might look like the face of a gentleman. She told us so yesterday.

The cake was a mango one with Kiwi fruit at the top as eye-brows, the two grapes as eye balls, the red raspberry as the nose, the triangular chocolate piece as lips and the long face in yellow.

Different people look at a thing with different perceptions. I remember I have seen a picture with a question, “What can you see from the picture?” Some people will say it is a “witch” and some will say it is a “pretty girl”.

When I perceive both, I will say I see “a beautiful girl” instead of “a witch” because I like to see the happy side rather than the unhappy side.

I liked the waitress’ perception because she caught some fun from the cake and brought her customer, me, a better appetite.
