When they should not recycle

No, this steak house is not serving fish ball.  Neither did we bring serviettes from a steak restaurant and used them at a restaurant serving fish ball noodles.

We were savouring our fish food when out of curiosity one of us flipped over a serviette and My! it was one from a steak house called Bayleaf.  Our next natural reaction was to flip over the serviette on each plate of fish side-orders. Lo and behold, all the serviettes were Bayleaf's.

When it comes to doing business, recycling is not something that should be done at the expense of the customers. A few questions popped up in our mind.  This scenario reminds us of how we always recycle serviettes we get whenever we eat at eateries.  Maybe this owner used to own a restaurant called Bayleaf and they were trying not to exhaust their stock of serviettes.  Again, how long have these serviettes been kept? We never know. Any restaurant could have kept their stock for nobody knows how long.

Whatever that we had in mind does not implicate anything positive to the image of this fish ball restaurant.  Using other serviettes seemed to indicated 'used' stuff.  So, are they really hygienic?

Customers don't like to feel doubtful of the value they get for what they pay for.  In this case...recycling is a big No!

Eee... we shun to think further...

My ambition was to be an accountant

From the first year I reached secondary school until I graduated, being an accountant had always been my first choice ambition.  It was only on my final year in Secondary 5 that my first choice had changed to being a 'Manageress'.  Somehow, as a child, an accountant gave me the impression of being a very highly-respectable profession.  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'.  Having knowledge of this respectable profession or rather occupation, as what I knew last time, and the fact that not anyone can be an accountant, I told myself that that would be my choice.  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...

Why people blog?

Why people blog? The latest bug is lurking and penetrating to people from all walks of life, be they politicians, housewives (oh no, homemakers please as they prefer to be called due to their diverse duties), royal blood, retirees, entrepreneurs, corporate high-flyers, celebrities and more common people like me and some of you reading this post. A blogging family of father (the new or 'old' kid of the blog) and daughter , interesting. Actually, Tun Mahathir has been sharing his voices but this time he cleverly uses a different and wider platform. Each blogger has different objective/s. The bug got some into trouble , brings some peace of mind and even prosperity. The power of this bug has been grossly under-estimated until the government's ruling party's so-called unexpected 'defeat'. As for me, a better life is what I'm hoping for. For someone who used to sneer at blogging as a way to 'show-off' one's talents and 'announcing' to the wor...

My first experience and a good one

Today is the day I will attempt on this venture. I wasn't that well-prepared. But, I have promised and I must deliver. My sister was looking forward to today and in fact, had cancelled another clashing activity just to make today happen. (How come the eunuch is more concerned than the emperor?) Actually, I had been doing my homework and do some research internet. But, with the limited time I have to do so many things, I could not focus a lot of time on this. More so, here we are talking about a PMR (secondary one) and SPM (secondary four) level. And, this is one of the toughest subject, the national language, Bahasa Malaysia. Even though the 'students' are my own nephews, I feel the responsibility as well as the pressure to teach them. Well, the session went on quite well. At least, I know what I was doing. I had given some pointers to them. They seem appreciative and are learning something. I'm glad even though I was slightly 'lost' when both seem to want my at...
