Asssalamualaikum

I've decided to spend my weekend back at home. Since big brother just finished his finals and now it is a school holiday, everyone is here at home. Mom did promise little nephew some action figure for getting a top five spot is his recent examination. On top of that we plan on having dinner together at the Sate Kajang Hj. Samuri at Taman Melati. After moving from one lot to a join lot nearby, I've expected a better service and better dining layout than before, but I thought wrong. Here is what happened.

Arrived at Taman Melati around 8 pm and by the looks of it, the premise was kinda congested, but that is a normal scenario. Parked the car, it was our luck that as soon as we entered the place, there was a recently vacated table at out expense. Sat down, but it was a back to back seating. From my observations, there were even table with benches where people sat while having their backs rubbing against each other. Thats just show how people was stuffed in the restaurant.

Unfortunately, it doesn't end there. You think getting a seat is hard, getting our order was even tougher. It took 10 minutes for the worker to realize that there was new customer and clean out the table. Order taken, 15 minutes later they arrived and again I suffered another blow, my drink didn't arrive. Told the waiter, and another 15 minutes I have to wait.

It was a dinner not to enjoy. It was full of distress or should I say tension. I could see that I was not the only one suffering as I could see others who had their frowning face on. Why is this happening?

I remember eating Sate Kajang Haji Samuri back at the original place at a corner lot near Metro Kajang. The service then was marvelous, and at that time, you only pay what you can eat. Which means that they will calculate how many sticks was consumed and they took back the rest. The service was more heart warming. That was the only sate Kajang outlet I remembered. But since then, the business flourished which is a good sign and Haji Samuri began opening a lot of outlets all aroung Klang Valley. That was when he lost sight of whats important.

Outlets all around Klang Valley had an image like a fast food restaurant and the service level began to deteriorate. The taste of sate is somewhat losing its originality. (can't blame them, last time they use hand held fan, now...big electric fan).

Now back to my dinner, when they move from a single lot to a double lot, I've expected better service, but I got otherwise. The seats was so uncomfortable for a long legged creature like myself. They increase number of table inside but not the number or worker. It's as if profit was what matters but no longer customer satisfaction. I only have one word; GREED.

Maybe that is my last time having dinner there. I will remind myself that if I want Sate Kajang badly, I might as well spend extra and have it where it came from, not some franchise outlet that only think about profit, profit and profit. Wassalam.

Sori dah lama tak hapdet, been bz lately, tapi biler dapat berita pagi tadi I had to let this out.

I'm called here to express my anger at our so called leading car manufacturer Proton. No wonder they are no longer getting the profit they expected...here is why I said this...

Recently someone close to me decided to book the new Proton Persona at a local Proton dealer at Jalan Semarak, Kuala Lumpur (No more hiding...lantaklah apa nak jadi kat kedai korang!!!). This dealer, masa nak booking bukan main lagi kata2 manis kuar dapat keretanya sebelum raya, cuba korang kira sekarang bulan berapa? Dah nak masuk bulan doblas pon masih takde khabar berita.

Kalau terus terang takpe, ini cakap macam keling. Dah delay bukan nak inform. Bila kol asyik masuk mailbox. Tau nak kontek pakai sms jer...bodoh nyer dealer. Bila dah gi kedai, menyorok. Cilaka betol kan? Nak cekik duit deposit ler tuh...

Nasib baik ada kontek kat Kilang Proton tuh, kol member kata dealer tuh dah kena suspend. Apa ke jadah?? Camner bleh dapat model2 baru kat kedai tu untuk promosi?? Habis tuh takder tindakan dari Pengurusan Proton. Pasal tu lah korang rugi. Memang padan pon. Kualiti tak jaga tapi ada ISO itulah, ISO inilah. Rasuah ke?

Sekarang duit deposit takleh amik balik, kereta tah tahun biler nak dapat? Menyusahkan orang betol. Manusia lahanat!!!

Lain kali monitor le kalau nak jaga hati rakyat Malaysia supaya beli kereta Proton lagi. Aku geram biler dengar citer2 macam nih. Nasib baik aku tak kerja ngan Proton dah, kalau tak dengan aku2 malu.

Kalau orang Proton baca nih, ambil tindakan. Untuk pembaca lain,
JANGAN BELI KERETA PROTON ANDA KAT DEALER PROTON JALAN SEMARAK KUALA LUMPUR. DEALER ITU PANDAI TIPU KO AJE!!!

Ok...dah lega dah...harap perkara ini dapat diselesaikan dalam masa terdekat.

Assalamualaikum,

Harini aku keluar dari umah dengan harapan untuk menyelesaikan beberapa perkara yang berada diawang2an sejak dua menjak nih. Pertama, aku keluar untuk buka akaun cukai pendapatan sebab takot orang kata aku dah kena bayar patotnya; takot kena denda masuk naik turun court. Kedua aku hidupkan kembali akaun Bank Bumiputra a.k.a Bumiputra Commerce a.k.a CIMB Bank. Sejak akaun aku ada kat situ, dah tiga nama dah dia pakai. Duit tetap tak melimpah ruah jugak. Huhuhu. Ketiga, tolong Mama Abah soping untuk event makan2 dengan kumpulan tadarus Mama bulan pose haritu.

Kes Pertama:
Terus tuju ke opis LHDN kat Wangsa Maju depan Jusco Alpha Angle sebab takot ramai orang kat sana. Pagi2 lepas bekfas terus gi. Sesampe kat sana, lega sebab orang tak ramai lagi..blom time bayar cukai lagi kot. Gi kaunter pertanyaan untuk menyatakan hajat..huhu. Dia check Slip Gaji. Dia kata takyah bayar lagi...YAHOO!!!! So aku selama nih gelabah rupa2nya derang tengok gaji pokok bukan gaji bersih. Alhamdulillah. Bleh ler aku menabung. Wakakaka.

Kes Kedua:
Ingat nak gi bank, tapi disebabkan masih awal, Abah ambil keputusan untuk ke pasar Chow Kit beli daging dan bahan2 lain untuk masak rendang Mama. Dan lepas tuh baru gi Carrefour beli lagi barang. Malas nak eleborate kat sini sebab banyak sangat barangnya. Hiks. Yang penting aku dapat mender besh kat sana iaitu DVD game FIFA Soccer 08 keluaran EA Sports. Dah ada kat pasaran untuk PS2. YES!!!

Kes Ketiga:
Selesai sumer, baru gi bank. Urusan kat Customer Service agak lembab sket. Orangnya macam takder je kat meja. Setibanya dia kat meja dan nombor aku dipanggil, everything is just smooth. Sekarang buat kad dah senang, dapat kad, dapat pin, dapat bukak akaun online. Sumer bleh buat dengan satu persinggahan. Senang kerja. Simpan kat CIMB nih selamat sket, sebab kat tempat aku kerja CIMB takder...kena gi jauh. Duit kat Maybank ler jadi mangsa selalunya. Hahaha.

Ok ler...untuk yang datang nih...nak share lagi lagu yang sedang terngiang2 kat tinga nih masa kat kedai2 tadi.



This Is How A Heart Breaks
by Rob Thomas

Don't you wanna go for a ride
Just keep your hands inside
And make the most out of life
Now don't you take it for granted
Life is like a mean machine
It made a mess out of me
And let me come between
Like an anchor dream, I was stranded
I was stranded, yeah yeah yeah

And I'm steady but I'm starting to shake
And I don't know how much more I can take

Chorus:
Well this is it now
Everybody get down
This is all I can take
This is how a heart breaks
You take a hit now
You feel it break down
Make you stay wide awake
This is how a heart breaks

Don't you wanna go for a ride
Now to the other side
Feels so good you could cry
Now won't you do what I told you
I remember when you used to be shy
Once we were so fine, you and I
And why you gotta make it so hard on me
Hey it's hard on me

And I'm sorry but it's not a mistake
And I'm running but you're getting away

Chorus:
Well this is it now
Everybody get down
This is all I can take
This is how a heart breaks
You take a hit now
You feel it break down
Make you stay wide awake
This is how a heart breaks
This is how a heart breaks

You're not the best thing that I knew
Never was, never cared too much for all this hanging around
It's just the same thing all the time
Never get what I want, never get too close to the end of the line
You're just the same thing that I knew
Right before the time when I was running from you

Chorus:
Well this is it now
Everybody get down
This is all I can take
This is how a heart breaks
You take a hit now
You feel it break down
Make you stay wide awake
This is how a heart breaks

Chorus:
Well this is it now
Everybody get down
This is all I can take
This is how a heart breaks
You take a hit now
You feel it break down
Make you stay wide awake
This is how a heart breaks

Oh yeah
This is how a heart breaks
Oh-oh-oh
This is how a heart breaks

I can't take it
How a heart breaks
Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
I can't take it
This is how a heart breaks
Oh-oh

This is how a heart breaks
This is how a heart breaks

Assalamualaikum

It was a week full of incidents. As told in my previous entry, this was the semester 1’s final exam week.

This final exam is the third time I’ve became invigilator and I must say that this time it was the most tiring and full of incidents.

Maybe because I was carrying out my 6 day sunat fasting while invigilating, I tend to get tired easily and often dozed off couple of times. Hiks. But I did my job tremendously nonetheless. Of all five day invigilating, Thursday was the day that we’ve received a lot of problems. But let’s talk about the exam generally first.

To my surprise, I presume that being here at matriculation level, these students understood fully on the technicallity of objective papers after experiencing UPSR, PMR and SPM before. General instruction was to shade the given region with 2B grade pencil and avoid using pen and mechanical pencil. But suprisingly they manage to do otherwise. There are some who shaded using pen and when they realized their mistake, decided to shade on top with pencil. You see, the problem will arise when the objective paper scan these papers. Unfortunately, it is proven when an objective papers are shaded with pen or mechanical pencil, very often that the scanner aren’t able to detect thus creating error during the scanning process. Thankfully at my examination center, I took precaution by preventing students to bring in any pen or mechanical pencil into the examination hall. But this thing still happened at other examination centers.

Now let’s talk about the Thursday incidents. In my history if invigilating, never have I encountered two cheaters in one single day. Both came from a center at the tutorial complex. Both were discovered to use smuggled notes (toyol) to answer their question. In fact, one of the even did two attempts after his first attempt was quickly discovered.

Here was what he did. After finding out that his first toyol didn’t have the specific topic that was contested in the exam question, he decided to ask for permission to go the restroom, but the fact he was running back to his hostel and manage to wrote down a new sets of toyol. He manages to loose the invigilator who was escorting him. And when he came back into the hall, he even had the guts to do the cheating even when the head invigilator was standing next to him watching him carrying his wrongdoings. So funny or should I say…extremely stupid.

The second one was a girl. At the final of the given paper, she was supposed to submit unused paper back. Unfortunately, she crumpled those papers into one big ball and when asked to unfold, a bunch of small (toyol)s was discovered inside it. Her excuse was she didn’t study the previous night due to overslept. Hmmm…

Whatever it is, whats done is done, the past is gone and the future is up for grab. Take care now bye bye then…adios
