Pussycat, pussycat, where have you been?
I’ve been to London to visit the Queen.
Pussycat, pussycat, what did you there?
I frightened a mouse under her chair.

pretty sure I came across this before but, haha

Was at Raju for breakfast recently. Haven’t been there in a long while, it’s amazing how that place always manages to change everytime I visit. It seems like its constantly going to be moving on to bigger, better things. And yet, in some ways, it still manages to stay the same. There’s always the elusive parking spot at peak hour, walking pass the restaurant next door which will leaves me wondering if there are people who actually bypass Raju and head to, the same food to order, the seemingly endless flow of customers.
This time there were more “cooking stations” outdoors and a little trolley showcasing products like fish curry powder and fried chicken batter and whatnots.
And even though there was a guy at our table setting up the umbrella attached to it (to cover us up from a bad weather forecast perhaps?) it took ages to get someone to take our order.
Which led me to propose a theory of the service situation at eating places in Malaysia. Basically, there are two kinds of wait staff in Malaysia:
1) those who serve their boss/supervisor
e.g., guys at raju don’t really care if you haven’t ordered. they were probably told to set up umbrellas and the boss gives them their pay not you.
2) those who serve the customers
e.g., I suppose this is debatable as those in this category may have been trained to serve customers and thus in the bigger scheme of things, act to serve their boss as well.
But a theory is still a theory. Will have to keep a lookout for more evidence to prove/disprove my findings.
Theoretically speaking though, I reckon those who work to make both their boss and customers happy are probably at the top of their game.

brilliant idea to save money = don’t bring money out = no money to spend = no money to buy dinner to bring home also :-\
heat/pollution (maybe?) = face itchy = scratch = microcracks in face allowing bacteria in = pimples :-|

Was looking for an app to store and read PDF documents on my iPod touch. Just downloaded GoodReader, which seems awesome so far, and is currently on sale at an 80% discount, so it worked out to be only 59p!
Which is awesome compared to the FtpDisc lite one I also downloaded because it was free, but have no idea how to use as the instructions on their website are minimal and do not make sense.
