Gua Banyak Bosan...

Hidup gua banyak boring lor... Gua sula mau jadi gila......

Aiyo...

Sorry, I just remembered something to rant about:

If you're looking for the most expensive, mediocre-I-can-make-this-at-home-for-nothing-with-one-small-aubergine-type food with the worse service in town (except, of course, if you're mat-salleh or/and obviously-royalty-with-10-huge-bodyguards *takes a breath* I recommend 'Shook!'.

For those of you with masochistic tendencies, you are Guaranteed! to have THE most unsatisfying meal available in KL AND pay through your nose for the privilege. It is little wonder the place is the favoured dining spot of KL's superfluous, superficial rich: OTT, lacking substance, shallow, pissing-off-ly-pathetically pretentious, pretty on the outside, blah within. Superficial lah. Nak harap lawa je. Quality: ZERO. The menu wasn't even that interesting. (Literally) Thick as a plank and just as much content.

We had to call the attention of a waiter to be seated. We had to wait 15 minutes before our orders were taken. 20 minutes for appetizers, half an hour for my pot of jasmine tea - which came as lemon, so I had to wait some more, 15 more minutes after the appetiser plates were cleared before the mains arrived, and I still had to come home and make myself Maggi Mee a scant hour-and-a-half later because the food was so forgettable. Oh, but the last straw was when they cleared the whole table of done dishes and unused cutlery while I was still eating my main course!! The waiter got a right fucking earful for that one. Needless to say, we didn't bother with dessert.

I knew there was a reason we decided to not patronize the place, I can't believe I forgot. The last time we went, my mother had to yell before we got our food, and walked out refusing to pay the 10% service charge because "your service is shit, you don't deserve to be paid extra for it." *snicker* Amen to that.

Reflections

Once in a while, you re-evaluate your life.

What are the things worth wanting? What are the things you really need, and what are they worth?

Are they worth fighting for? Are they worth compromising for? What are they worth giving up?

What are the things worth pursuing, and for which do you give in?

How much are they worth? Are they worthy of you? Are you worthy of them?

How much are you worth? To yourself?

Sometimes, you seem so certain, but I look around me, at the people who have supposedly 'been there' and 'done that', and I think that maybe you will never find your answers.

As Time Goes By

I can hardly believe it has been almost a whole month since I last posted! Wither hath time flown?

Things have been hectic. At work, in relationships (not speaking of any one in particular, just in general), with the family... I find myself having no private time left.

Fortunately, I will not have to work the whole of next week as the company has decided that we should all go on leave. You don't hear me complaining.

It is a much-needed respite.. and I hope it will actually feel like one. I seriously need time back for ME. No obligations, no demands. If only for just one week.
