Today is just my bad luck. My friend and I chose to have lunch at Kenny Roger KL Sentral due to the gloommy weather. It was full when I reached there and I found out that Kenny Roger customer will sit at table with red chair, next to Secret Recipe. One glance I noticed the whole place was full. I managed to get a seat after a group finished their lunch. It was 1.15pm, I was siting facing the clock Kenny Roger design. My friend joined me shortly.
At 1.20pm, the waitress took our order. While chatting away, our muffin and ice lemon tea arrived at 1.40pm. By that time, I noticed some guests already finished their lunch and leaving. We were still waiting for our lunch, nothing special but just the usual quarter chicken with 3 side dishes. By 1.50pm, I asked another waitress about our meal and told her tat we waited half an hour already She returned to the counter to ask for table 14's order. By then, there's only few customers left and the restaurant next door was almost empty. The customer behind me and next to me that came leter already eaten their lunch and left. We were still waiting for our lunch and we only have 1 hour lunch time. I think Kenny Roger should take note on that because they only get good business during lunch time. By 2pm, I walk up to the counter and cancel our order after informing her we waited 40 minutes. I told the cashier that I wil pay what we ate, 2 glass of ice lemon tea and 2 muffin. Then the supervisor said we don't have to pay and apologise and thank us. What's the point? My lunch time was over and I haven't eat. We were hungry. I won't go back there again. They received my worst review and services.
Then we walked to McD and noticed the long queue. Nope, I don't want to wait anymore. So we went to KFC and the queue wasn't long. We survey the cashier's speed in handling customer and food before we chose our lane. I waitd less than 5 minutes and it's our turn. We get our food to go in 5-8 minutes. That's what I call service. However, be caution if you fo KFC KL Sentral because some of the staff there are as slow as a snail. Pick your waitress or waiter before you queue.

Malaysian Drivers Under The Rain
I don't remember March being a raining season until this year. Surprisingly it has been raining cats and dogs since last week. Each time it rains, there will be traffic jam. I recalled a cabby once told me few years ago that drivers became stupid when it rains.
Why? Because everyone will break all rules just to save a few seconds. They will cut queue, stop at the white line and blocking all the cars behind, dangerously zig-zaging across the next lane, stop at the yellowbox when the traffic light turn red, still drive into the yellowbox when the street in front already queue till the end of the junction and resulted massive jam when the next street light turn green. Nobody wants to give way. Nobody wants to follow the rules. Everybody wants to out-fast and out-do others. At the end, everyone loose because when 50 drivers with that attitude at various spots in KL, the whole city suffer massive jam till late hours.
When this happened, everyone curses the traffic system but fail to reflect their own wrong doing. Drivers become bad temper and rackless and accidents happened. Tonight alone, I witnessed two cars accident at Mahamelu area, another one at the museum area and a motorbike slipped at Lok Yew area. Life value seem to take a back seat during raining season, don't you think so?

Friendship with Conditions
Nowadays everything is enclosed with conditions. It seem unlikely that we ever find genuineness. When you go and buy a diamond or precious stone, one must go to a very reputable outlet with certificate to ensure you are buying the original thing. When you see someone smiling, you have to wonder is he or she sincere? Is the smile a put-on-a-show? When a stranger walks up t you asking for direction, in yout heart, you think is he really lost or he has bad intention towards you? When you laugh with your colleagues, do you wonder are they laughing with you? When the tollgate girl greets you as you pay your toll, is she genuinely wishing you well?
When your friend is your friend, is he or she really wants to be your friend? When your friend help you, is he or she really do it sincerely? When your friend offers to listen to you, is he or she really listener? Taking in all the good and bad without prejudice? When your friend offer help, does he or she attached any condition? Is your friend a leaves you when you need comfort the most? Is your friend sees you as a burden? Is your friend doubt your sincerity? What is the meaning of friend? What is friendship with conditions?
