Bidding Farewell…

May 10, 2008November 11, 2010 dixonthum

It was my final day in the office and my heart felt bad the whole day. The only thing in my mind was my friends (not colleagues but they have become my friends). It was hard but it went through somehow. I even teared in the office as it was so touching reading all my friends farewell wishes to me. It was really sad and difficult.

Anyhow, at night, we went to IZZI KL for my farewell dinner and everyone had great time there. The ‘ta-ni’ (drinking) kaki’s were all bottoms up. Everyone was talking about the funny things that happened throughout my stay there and all burst out in tears. There is no other words to describe except FUNNY. My mind was all flashing back of my previous effort and experience in the office. All the hardship, the hardwork and the happy moments with my friends (especially the weekends experiences).

I could never forget all my friends there. We are already so close. Thanks to everyone for the companionship and do strive to the best for yourselves. Remember my personal advice in my last e-mail to you guys. Never give up! Haha! And Sethu (also Deep), I will always remember your advice in the card. That’s so true!!!

Thanks guys and gals for your gifts and advice. I really appreciate them and I love you all! I will miss all the “karaoke” sessions, the “non-sense” talk, the “test drive” session, the “winding-non-stop-complaining” session and everything else. Keep in touch! *sob sob*

My Personal

Reduced fine

May 7, 2008June 11, 2008 dixonthum

I was fined RM100.00 for parking in a metered space without paying. When I went to pay in the DBKL head office just now, they reduced the amount to RM30.00 only. It’s a good news to me out of the bad incident. At least I can save back another RM70.00. The reduction is entitled to fine which is paid within the 14-days grace period.

Food & Drink

Chicken Parts in KFC

May 7, 2008November 11, 2010 dixonthum

I have been craving to try out the KFC Chicken Rice and finally I’ve got a chance to do it. I had it in KFC Pertama Complex and everytime I eat KFC, I will only take the drumstick and the thigh. Some times the chicken wing but no other parts please.

In this specific occassion, there’s no exceptional. The KFC lady gave me a chicken wing and a breast. I asked her to change them for me.

I said, “I want a drumstick and a ‘paha’ ” (which mean thigh in Malay language).

She was felt stranged and she swapped the chicken wing for me to a drumstick and left the chicken breast on the plate.

I then told her, “I want the part which is on top of the drumstick”

She then said, “Oh, thigh!” and laughed at me with her colleague that I said it wrongly that I want a paha but not a thigh.

They said, “Paha tu drumstick lah!”

Well, I was angry as they were treating me as if I’m stupid but I kept quiet.

To them, paha means drumstick but to me paha means thigh.

I wanted to give them a Malay-English lesson there on-the-spot but NO-lah.

Leave the dumb as who they are. Ignorance is stupidity.

Mein’s parents came to KL yesterday and we brought them for a short night walk in Titiwangsa. Wow! Look at the view. I quickly grabbed my camera and snapped endlessly…
