Pizza time!

Thursday nights, my parents would go to play badminton while me and my brother would go to Sunday school (because in the gulf weekends were Thursdays and Fridays). Post which came the fun part, dad would leave money on the buffet counter. So we were to do as we please after we came home from church. As always our routine was to dial 2465-05-0. We never argued on what we wanted to order, because either of us was okay with the choices we made that day as long as it took only 45 minutes for the pizza to get delivered home and the pizza was hot ; thank god for the invention of the microwave and yes mum owned one; because we'd still run a 30sec on our pizza even if it was still delivered hot just to get that cheese cheesy enough. A Pizza hut pizza was something we never got tired off and still don't.....
