Go July Go...Fast

I am totally broke this month. Sobs. What is worse, it is not even half of the month yet. Double sobs. For the rest of the month, I will be cutting off all extra expenses. Entertainment and Good Food, I will pass hopefully ALL on this month. Triple Sobs. Hello home cooking, hello maggi, hello series watching[it's free] to the month of July. This month better pass fast, very damn fast please. I had just rejected the invite to watch Hellboy 2, and maybe an outings with ex-housemates also. One of my friend even suggested a so money saving plan; he suggested to order 2 lunch boxes each day. Each lunch box cost RM3.5 and that make a RM7 for two meals. Lunch and Dinner. Ya. Coollll.... Sick ar you...*knock**knock* Eventhough I like those Uncle Poon lunch box oso no need so supportive gua. Oh, if you haven't know, I had been ordering lunch box from Uncle Poon this two months. It is a chinese mixed rice. 1 meat/chicken with 3 veges at RM3.50. Tell me where can you get such a decent lunch at this price in Cyberjaya..And Best or the Best, it is packed with Microwave friendly transparent box ok? Not those typical lousy polystrene white color tapau box. Eat healthy, grow wisely and earth greeny, we need to wash the box and return the box to Uncle u know. So good lo, no need to dump polystrene boxes everyday. Now repeat after me, "Do not ask what Earth can do for you, but ask what you can do for the Earth", come...again "Do not ask what Earth can do for you, but ask what you can do for the Earth" -_-" Pencinta alam konon. Whatever is it, Uncle Poon is a funny+friendly man, he will come and greet "Hi, Esther how are you." "Where do you stay" ohh....and he even ask about my job and he said he even said he can ask his son to recommend me to MNC -_-"..ohohohh....so funny la this uncle. Back to the tight budget, I really hope there will be no more extra ordinary expense that will come this month. Else, i will need to use my CC. No no...So, Esther, 1,2,3....go july go...... fast go fast.....I am waiting for September dearly, my first ever oversea trip, to Bali Indonesia and then I have to save again for the Phuket Trip next year. If you havent get it, I actually had just bought the flight ticket and accomodation for Phuket last week, this explains why I am so broke. ....I need $$, somebody donate me some pennies plss :(((((

Unpleasant experience in Italiannies, The Curve

If you had been to One Utama, you should had came acrosss with people lining in front of one particular restaurant, especially during dinner time. Yes, no present for guessing it correctly, it is the ever so popular Italiannies outlet. I finally step into the restaurant for the first time after getting few thumbs up feedback from most of my friends.

The ambient was fine, albeit I felt the place is a little old, alright, it has the ancient Italian restaurant concept anyway. The service was good, all the time except, let's not talk about that first. The food is so-so, maybe we do not ordered the one that suit our taste; we ordered Deep Fried Calamari, Angel Hair Pomodoro, Grilled Quarter Chicken and Cappucino Pie for dessert. No picture taken by the way.

The portion was big, enough for 4 but there was only 3 of us. The Angel Hair was tasteless, an effortless pasta with not a single hint of meat, just plain tomato sauce with tomato chunks, green bell pepper chunks,olives and maybe carrot. The only good thing of that dish was its portion.Sigh. The best of the dishes we ordered was the Cappucino Pie,it is the combination of a rich layer of frozen coffee cream, with a layer of Vanilla Ice Cream and Oreo Crust as base and it was served with a pool of chocolate sauce. It was creamy and smooth enough to send you to the peak of indulgence. Yummmmmmm.......

Ok come the best worst part. Before leaving Italiannies, we did not really pay attention on the amount of the bill when it came as we were paying with credit card. When the receipt was sent back to us,

Me: "Eh, how much ar?"

Darling1: "RMXX.XX"

Darling2: "Eh, quite cheap o?"

Me: (Maybe because we only ordered plain water la, and the bread was free one)

Darling1:(Check on the bill)"Hmm, I think they didnt count in the angel hair, come cabut"

Darling2&Me: (Grab our shopping bags, its quite late already as both of us need to get home earlier)

Just at the moment we unstick our butt from the seat, one waiter(I suppose) popped out from nowhere and asked

Waiter: "Did you get the Angel Hair?"

We nodded.

Waiter: "Did you all eat it? You have to pay for it"

WTH, we ordered it of course we will eat it and of course we will pay for it la. That was a stupid sentence to offend me that I am cheapskate for wanting a free food!

Darling2: "How much is it?"

The waiter opened the menu and pointed on Angel Hair's price.

Darling2:"Ok, we will pay with cash then"

Mind you, we were paying the price on the menu, exclude the service charge and taxes. I really felt weird with the whole situation so after we paid the price he showed, I demanded the receipt for it, reasonable isn't it? The waiter said "Ok".
The waiter did came back with the receipt and also our freaking cash that we paid earlier.

He said "Since you want the receipt, you have to pay this amount", pointing at the total amount.


Now you tell me What The Shit is this. First, you FORGOT to include on of the item to our bill. Right, we did plan to not acknowledge you on that. It was your responsible to ensure the bill was holy right, it was your fault. Bear in your fish- mind that we ordered all the items in one single time. It was not an add-on. Then you came and told us in you stupid manner that WE HAVE TO PAY for it. Cant you rephrase your "YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR IT" to "Oh, we actually did some mistake on the bill, I will get you the correct bill". You scared we will run away when you go to get your bill is it. Stupiak. And what is more HILLARIOUS than you asked us to pay only the price on the menu WITHOUT ANY RECEIPT. Well, maybe you found out that was you fault, so you voluntarily cover the service charge and goverment tax but NO. You came with another amount when we demanded the receipt. So, if we did not demand the receipt, you will eat up the balance when you close the account that evening is it? Or let's say you are honest enough, then the last cashier of that night will need to come out with the shorted amount of service charge and taxes is it??? Do not tell me you do not have the common sense that the price every item you served has to come with extra charges. If this case happened once daily, how much the waiter will EARN for that? It is a freaking RM600 per month lo, good enough to pay the installment of a MyVi.
So hereby, I will start to boycott hesistate visiting The Italianese, The Curve again. Lousy.

chilies and seeds

I used to love chilies in the past. Let it be sambal, soup with chilies in it, pizza with chilies or whatever-chilies. There was once i felt nasi goreng kampung is way so cool, because they goreng with lots of hot chili padi (chinese style of fried rice have no chilies as ingredient). Days passes(to count from first day to MMU), chilies(mainly cili padi) was introduced to my daily meals. Nasi Lemak, roti canai sauce ,meehoon goreng, tomyam, karipap, rendang, even kangkung goreng and all you name it dishes must be cook with chilies. Now, i do not know why, I become chilies intolerance, not any kind of physically intolerance, just that I felt that i started to dislike chilies. The reasons are:

• The tickling feeling inside my mouth after meal


• The odor of after meal


• The unwelcome sensation on my stomach


• The little pieces of chilies that sticks between my teeth, some even worse, they choose to stick on the tiny gap between the teeth or between the teeth and gum


• The thirst of sweet or strong flavored beverage to flush away that smell


• And I just hate the chilies seeds the cook loves to goreng with my meehoon or fried rice

And today i took most of my lunch time to pick out those stupid tiny seeds from my plate of meehoon. Please la, why fried meehoon must put chilies to goreng le?????? Cannot goreng without sambal or plain kicap type meh???? So troublesome lo, everything also must spicy spicy...very sien de lo.

Actually there is solution to filter away all those seeds before you cook it courtesy to my collegue. Very very easy, you jus have to boil all the chilies or cili padi or cili kering in a pot and simultaneously all the cucu cicit chilies seed will sunk to the bottom of the pot and now u can take out the seedless chilies and do with whatever u want. So easy but all the shop will never practice. Suddenly I am reminded with the limau seed on our teh-o-limau ice, whyla they dont want to remove all those cucu cicit before serving it le??? Dont tell me that is decoration lo. Another mafan, I have to choose either to swallow it or spit it out because 99% of the shop will not provide you with spoon when u ordered their teh-o-limau ice. Swallow?? I do not want, mama say will grow limau tree on your head if you swallow seeds. Spit?? No manner for a girl lo. Again what is so hard if they took out the seeds before serving the drink le?? Not that they have to korek on the whole drink, the seed will somehow floating on the surface of the drink lo >_<

Blissful lunch

Having Prawn Macaroni with cheese and Cappucino Cheese Cake for lunch was a bliss. But suffering from indigestion and bloated because you took too much of cheese is really a big big does-not-worth-it -_-"

BS campaign

8th March 2008, my first election day. To be frank i am politically neutral. Or should i say i am naive. Politic does not mean much to me, just a simple cross and that is all. I really cannot tolerant with so much of campaigns going around. For me, political campaigns are crap, they(i-dunno-who) talks BS to win our cross on their continent. I cant see any difference that can be made by campaign-ing here and there. Firstly, they contribute to the waste of good quality papers on the wall, poles or whatever place they can stick to. Is that necessary??? Then they go bla bla bla dunno-what-shit in housing area, people nonit sleep meh. Again, papers wastage come to play, and so do manpower misuse to do all the arrangement of the i-dont-care talk. If they are sensitive enough tak payah la go print those stupid flyer, use that money and buy books for those student in rural place la then i will cross for you. And about manpower, if you use your manpower and go kutip all the sampah in the town, Port Dickson beach or clean up the river la, then i will give you my cross. fuhh...too much of ramblings. I am just sort of bored to see so much of campaign going around. If everyone are to go sleep earlier, then our country will be in alil peace(silly me). Anyway, thanks to election also i will get to meet up my fren in hometown **yeah
