Indah Khabar Dari Rupa

'Indah khabar dari rupa'. One of the most popular quotes among Malays. Can't think of any quote in English that share the same meaning. Too slothful to find one. Topic today related to my dining experience.

Jue & I went to Jusco Setiawangsa for dinner. I wished to have anything but nasi goreng/mee goreng/kuey tiow goreng that night. First, thought of going to A&W, but Jue disapproved,huhu... So, have to go around Jusco, hunting for place to satisfied our beastily hungrily tummy. Finally, we mutually agreed to go to this one quite 'exclusive=over-priced" restaurant for people like us. The menu are complete with pictures and prices. Very good so we know where we stand, haha!!

Jue ordered beef steak, I ordered pasta (can't remember the name). From the images, both meals look promising. But when the meals finally arrived, it differ a lot from the images shown. OK, maybe the taste will be great. Both of us tuck in. Mine, taste simple, not something I hoped for, but still nice (if not compared with the price). Jue's, totally sucks. Steak was 'liat' (ape ek liat dlm english?), pasta taste like rotten(basi). Jue was incapable of eating that 'crap', so she exchanged hers with mine since I have developed my taste bud with mutant power, huhu....able to withstand damn crappy taste food.

We feel cheated. So, no longer we will step inside some fancy restaurant with some fancy price tags without someone recommendation. Unless we are very rich, and wasting money on crappy food are affordable.

Company's Policy

First of all, I would like to declare that whatever written in this entry is not an expression of discontent or any sorts towards my current company. It is just a matter of me writing nonsense and giving bit & pieces of my humble opinion.

My current job requires me to travel a lot. Last month was the most hectic one. Voluntarily, I went to the 3 out of 4 site visits, driving my own car. Supposedly can ask company to arrange flight for me, but I'd rather drive and later claim extra from milage..huhu...

As a result, the monthly claim accumulated to a very satisfying number. But actually, you already used almost half of the amount earlier (toll, petrol,...). But still ok what. Even after serviced my car, still got plenty of extra.

Then, the Finance Manager came to me. He was saying "Later if you go for site visit, please check if there is company car available. If not, then you can drive your own car". Aiyoooo...so, I asked him why. He replied easily "Company's policy, already for a long2 years". Hahaha...can't say anything after that.

I am ok with that (tipu je...mule2 bengkak gak la, tp bile pk2, dh bukan rezeki). It is undoubtedly good for company. But for me, it is not good for the employee. One thing employer should consider is that, travelling long distance for works can be EXTREMELY tiring. It is totally different when you travel while in vacation ok!! Plus, when you have to travel far without overnight stay, yet because of another COMPANY's POLICY. Please do take this into considerations before implying any policies. For someone with salary more than 10k, this milage claim may sounds irrelevant. But for employee like me, it is very2 important..hehehe...

But for now, just have to abide to the policy la. Perhaps, in future I can find a more considerate employer. But, not planning on changing job yet. Haha!!

Lelaki Jual Ikan

Since my English have been so corrupted, due to long term unexploited, I have determined to write this entry in English. May sound / read like primary school student English, or maybe even worse? Huhu…

Few days back then, while driving to work, listened to radio and this was what I heard. There was this woman, lamented about her problem. She just engaged few days ago. Suddenly, after 2-3 days, her fiancé wanted to call it off. You know what his reason is?-“lung cancer”. Yeah…obviously he’s a smoker, so the possibility is there. Plus, ask her not to concern about him (do not call, do not visit & whatsoever means of communication la). The woman was down in the dumps. I guess she tried not to, but concede to her sadness + shock + wtf, she cried teresak2 (ape teresak2 in English?).

So, what can we deduce from her story. For me, he is one selfish guy. He better off go and sell some fish (wth!!). Want to use far more obscene words for him, but try not to lose equanimity here..huhu.. Why have to wait that long to spill the beans? Is he suddenly come up with an idea to have a medical check up right after the engagement day?

His hastily made decision is not a wise one. Unless, he has different hidden agenda, and I think most of us can easily unravel it (if really there is a hidden agenda..huhu). No need for me to waste my working time to explain. Plus, nobody might even border to read my blog. Or maybe no one ever knows the existence of this blog. (Warning!! It is hazardous to blog within office hour, unless your seat is at the most strategic place. Beware of any CCTV!! Haha!!)

Well, for the woman, I guess if you still love him, try to reason with him. Don’t just giving up on him yet. But still, this is only relevant if his reason is beyond doubt because of the illness.

Anyhow, I am still puzzled, why that guy so stupid la….

Tidak bertimbang rasa

Satu hari aku mau balik dr kelija. Byk penat menguruskan tender yg mau dihantar minggu itu juge. Setelah packing brg, punch card, terus chow. Tgk2 kt parking kerete, ade sebijik proton saga sudah parking belakang myvi gue. Kiri ade keter, kanan ade lori. Cmne nk balik nih??...huk..huk..

Tgu la dlm keter, igtkan kejap je pemilik proton tu park situ. Pas2 g solat dl, bg can la die parking lame ckit. Abis solat, ade lg proton bodo tu. Mulut aku dh strt kuarkn kate2 yg x senonoh. Tu pon aku tgu lg. Lame2 x thn, aku tekan hon byk2 kali. Hahaha!!!! Baru la pemilik proton bodo 2 kuar. Bukan nk minx maap ke hape, tp wat muke selambe + brlagak. Sib bek la ko pompuan. Kalo x aku dh sergah je ko. G mampos la pemilik proton bodo!!!!!

SEWA DEWAN...

Bile nk wat majlis kawen, bnde yg paling penting skali (banyak telan duit..huhu) ialah jamuan mkn utk tetamu. Pas2 nk kene dcide samada wat kt umah or dewan. Based on opinion from my family, diorg lg suke kalo wat dewan, x pyh leceh2 nk usik umah. Aku pon phm kepayahan wat kenduri kt umah, pengalaman ms kenduri kawen abg aku. Satu bdn x bole gerak tu, abg aku (bkn pengantin)siap pengsan lg dlm toilet.

So, aku survey la dewan. Since aku mempunyai budget yg amat la limited, x dapek la nk cari dewan2 hebat & gah, so aku narrow kan la pencarian ke dewan MBSA shj. Dr website yg aku usya2, kebyakan dewan harga sewa utk kenduri kawen dlm RM300. Punye la hepi aku sbb aku rs kalo sewa kanopi lg mhl drp tuh. Tp tu sume dongengan semata2. Bile aku tny dewan MBSA paling dkt ngn umah aku, harga sewa = RM1400. Gile tuh!!!!! Baper kali ganda bezanye. Pas2 bukan deal ngn MBSA, tp ngn org persendirian. Aku pon pelik beno, nape cmtu lak?

Rupe2nye MBSA dh sewakn dewan tu kt org persendirian tersebut. So, skarang harga sewa depends pd penyewa 1st hand tu. Tp die punye mark up bkn men bangsat lg. Bkn nk mengata la. Kalo dewan tu mcm dewan PWTC ke, or separuh grand dr dewan PWTC ke, aku bole terima la sewa RM1400. Masalahnye dewan ni bese2 je. So, kensel la nk sewa dewan. Better aku amik kanopi je cmtu. Lg cantek.

Akhirnye, ayah aku dpt tau ade dewan still under jagaan MBSA. Sib baik la ayah aku ni org masjid, so info2 mcm ni mmg senang la nk dpt. So, esoknye trus ayah aku g pejabat MBSA nk tau info sebeno. So, dpt la aku sewa dewan MBSA utk majlis kawen nt. Sewa RM400 la dsebabkan dewan tu baru ckit, ade bau harum lg..hahaha!!!
