Prawn noodle without prawn

Chicken was substituted by 'char siew'

How ridiculous can they be? Prawn noodle without any prawns. Upon seeing this or rather not confirming the absence of prawn in my bowl of prawn noodle, I gestured to the waiter.

He apologetically returned with a small plate of prawns and said,"They forgot."

In my next visit to this same Old Town restaurant near my house, I faced the same absurdity. This time, my son's bowl of chicken hor fun was without chicken. And, this time I was not lucky. I was not greeted with any apologetic or pleasant face. The supervisor came to our table, confirm what I said and did not return. Another waiter came with a small plate of 'char siew' as pictured. There's no explanation why there's no chicken for my chicken hor fun. The supervisor didn't even bother to explain, not to mention apologise.

Such is the sorry state of customer service in our country!

My ambition was to be an accountant

Not only that, one can only call herself an accountant after passing all the necessary examinations. She can't call herself one just because she holds the title of 'accountant'.

How about doctors and lawyers? Aren't these respectable occupations? Oh yes, they are. And these earn a lot of money too. I had even thought about whether I would be able to be a good lawyer as being a lawyer means one needs to ha...

Of Malaysian - more on our postmen

Letter flimsily left on my car windscreen When can they improve? Just when I thought things could not be worse, here is where I found my letter. I know why they place the letter everywhere except the letter box. Apparently, my car was blocking the postman's motorcycle's path where he could just drop letters into my letter box without having to get down from his bike. Now, this is convenience for them! So, who cares about poor service as long as letters are delivered..not in letter boxes? Do you notice the letter was not even placed under the wiper in case it may fly off?

Books which collect dust

So little time, yet so many things to accomplish. Now, when will I have the time to read the books I bought? There are at least 5 books that I have bought but are now sitting uselessly while accumulating dust in the book shelf. Some of them are just flipped for a few pages and later abandoned again. I feel so sorry that these books are not read yet for its contents. I'm sure there are intricacies,wonders and amazement waiting to be discovered by reading them. But, what will power do I have to pick up one and start reading regardless of my busyness?

More than just an accountant
