we have 16 buttons to button...
including the 8 buttons 1st put into our chef u piece...

have to wait for respective chefs to come "collect" us
and i... suay suay being in Prego... suay suay being split-shift...
have to wait till 9+ coz they oso come late...
after which when he comes... i got orientated around the Prego kitchen...
