McD Vs Domino

I don't really cook much during weekdays, apart from instant noodles.

As a working professionals, we tend to work our ass off and all we wanted to have at the end of the day is a good rest.

Cooking can be troublesome, while i don't really fancy waiting in line for "dapao-ing" something from the stalls.

The solution?



We have McDelivery.

I was so hungry that i decided to make the call to McD right after  stepped into my home.

To my surprise, this is what i get.

"Sorry sir, unfortunately we could not take this order at this moment due to the weather condition".

WTF???



Did i just heard wrongly? Or is it they're supposed to deliver it by a plane??

The only time i have heard that stupid "Due to the bad weather conditions..we are forced to...." is at the bloody LCCT!!!

Sod it.

I resorted to call Domino pizza then.

Much to my surprise, this is what i get.

"Ok sir, the delivery will be in 30 minutes time".

"You sure or not, i think it is going to rain here"

" Don't worry sir, 30 minutes".

I think it is time for McD to close shop. Honestly.

If Domino Pizza can brave the rain and storm to deliver it to my place, why can't Mc D?

Somebody please enlighten me.



I am back to Limbang...

Have you ever did something like this?

 

Barely 36 hours ago, my dad phoned me up for a quick chat, and i realized that it has been quite sometimes that i have being away from home.

 

Immediately booked my tickets, and now i am back home. After a 2 hours of flying and 3 hours of car ride.

I am back. To a place where i was borned.

 

"The Limbang".

 

Just in case you don't know where it is located.

People used to ask me, how does Limbang look like?

 

My standard reply? "A small town like serdang or sri Kembangan".

The look on their face is priceless.

Most of the peninsular people thought if i am a Sarawakian, i am suppposed to live on trees and tend to swing from one place to another.

Worst still, when i told them there is an airport in Limbang, it is as if i am telling them that Malaysia football team has qualified for a World Cup final and started to label me as "cheat".

WTF?

How did a nice and quite town like Limbang can give people impression that it is always about thick jungle and orang utan, i seriously don't know.

I can't be telling all my friends that they are moron right?

They are just pure innocent.

But anyhow, the most important thing is, i have came back to a place where my beloved family is around. A nice and warm homecoming.

That's all it matters.

When i told my friends that i am holding two jobs at one time, they used to raised their eyebrow and responded like this.

"Why? Really that broke mer?"

or

"Want to get married liao ar?"

Or even...

"Siao liao la lu!!!" (You must be crazy!!)

Somehow or rather when i think about this, yes i think i am crazy. I am a single bachelor who has never worried about kid's diapers, or wife's "LV bag for her birthday" kind of person.

I have enough to survive. Pay my monthly bills, house loans, car loans etc etc.

But like all people used to say "Money where got enough one??"

Being in property lines has it ups and downs. You saw ugly competition, deals with unreasonable clients, endless arguments, and crazy one too. (eg. "I want to buy two landed houses side by side, within RM 300k!!! What?? Cannot find ar??? What kind of agent is this??"

Sure can find.

Nah, your side by side landed house, there you go.

On a brighter note, the money is good. Buy putting in a couple of days of "really hard jobs", i got paid more than what i earn as an engineer for a month.

My principle of life is very simple.

When i work hard, i make sure i got rewarded real hard too.

January, i bought a Sony Vaio. Old one "kah-put" liao.

Then come February, a condominium deal earned me this. Then my brother robbed my 3G.

Come March?

This is the time i think i got to reward myself real hard.

Finally got my dream car ever since i am 28 years old. Now that i am 30, i think it is about time for a change.

I guess we used to call this "The power of dreams".
