Tring tring! Tring tring! Tring tring! 330am.
ZzzzzzZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Tring tring! Tring tring! Tring tring! AGAIN! 345am

This time, hubby jumped out of bed as he has a flight to catch @ 7am. Yes, 7am...he is always the "gun jiong" type while I still ZZZZzzzzZZZZzzzz. I have set my alarm at 410am...but the sound of him brushing his teeth, showering, etc, etc woke me up for good! Should I continue to Zzzzzz and let him take the bus from sentral (since he already bought the ticket).....*yawn*......

This is 2010!! I wanna be a better person! Ok! I will wake up!! *yawn* We reached LCCT at *yawn* about 510am...*yawn*. I was surprised to see such a long, long queue at the check-in counter. And looks like I am the only one whom is sleepy...all of them looked so refreshing....*yawn*

Hmmm...if I were to travel to Jakarta for holiday...I think, I will try to opt for other airline and not budget airline :P I didn't know there are just SO MANY Indonesians in our country!!!!!

Anyway, after the long queue...he finally check-in his flight at 530am. We then head to OLD TOWN for breakfast! Ahh....this is what he promised me for my effort to wake up so early! Kekekeke! I just love soft boiled eggs!! Yummy!!


I suddenly noticed this guy opposite our table. He looked left, right, left, right as if he wanna do something secretly. Hmmm. He had a cup of iced white coffee.... but he looked suspicious. Is he dangerous? What he's up to? I kept spying at him...until....he took out.....a white plastic bag...and chomp on the bun!! Laaa...he is bringing outside food to eat in Old Town. No wonder!!

Our bill came to about MYR 25/= which I find quite expensive for 2 white coffee, 2 set of soft boil eggs and bread!! Nevertheless..it was a yummy breakfast!!

We said our goodbyes around 610am...when I called him at 635am...he just passed the immigration. I hope he don't have to run to the flight!!!!

It is exactly 22 days. If we exclude the long holidays...the Christmas, the New Year...it will be 20days...if exclude the Sat & Sun, it will be 15 days!

Yes, my Altis is back in my possession again! Finally!! Looked as new as it can be :) The repair bill comes up to RM6k++...thank god MITSUI OSK is paying for this! Else, it will be a such a WASTE of money!! Especially when it wasn't my fault in the first place!! The fact that I skidded and ram onto the divider was because of spilled diesel on the road and no one bothered to clean it up!! Luckily I suffer no injuries....except for my poor heart...aching from the fact that, my car is only a few months' old :(

My ranting in this blog is not about the accident. It is about the really, really BAD experience I encountered at the TOYOTA service centre in PJ. Yes, unbelievable BAD experience!!

I can't believe they have no system in place when it comes to the BODY & PAINT section. (Not sure about other section) There is no queue number available. There is no one to attend to you. They just direct you to the section...and well....wait.

Huh? Wait where? Wait at any cubicle that is available... There are about 6-10 desks....but most, if not all are empty!! Apparently the service personnels are either busy servicing a client or out inspecting the car's damage!

I actually stood behind a man for and waited....10 minutes...20 minutes pass, still not my turn yet...and there is still no other person that is available to attend to me. ?????

I start to wonder if I am at the right place. Am I doing the right thing? Do I continue to stand until the person in front of me leave his/her seat...geez...it is worst than the governtment department. And we are talking about TOYOTA here. I thought, they could at least have a decent system or PROCESS in place.

Finally, I saw one TOYOTA personnel walking towards her desk...I quickly move towards her, thinking she could at least help me out. "Nope, please wait at either cubicle B or C". "But "B" is empty, while "C" is busy", I said. She replied "Well...just stand behind there and wait". OMG. Where am I??!! So, I got back and continue to wait

After 30 minutes, the guy got up and walked out with the service personnel. I would assume it it to inspect his car's damage. I quickly took the seat and wait.....again. Finally, it's gonna be MY turn. By this time, there is another couple behind me...waiting patiently.

When the service personnel return with the customer, they quickly fill up a few forms, update some info onto the computer and DONE! My turn...FINALLY.

This time, the woman behind me asked "Excuse me, do I wait here like this?" And our dearest replied "Yes. I am not free at this moment".

It is such a S...T... U... P... I... D experience...as if, people have nothing better to do. If TOYOTA can't afford a queue system, at least, they should have a decent process in place.

Two weeks later, I called to check on my car's status and guess what? According to the receptionist, no one can advise me except the mechanic in charge. Isn't it crazy? A simple enquiry like "When will my car be ready?" or "What is the status of my car?" met with grumpy response from the receptionist that she have no idea, can't help but can only pass me to person in charge.

How S-T-U-P-I-D can that be??!


Really, really a test of patience. If I were asked to rate their level of service, I will give it a thumbs down. Never expect such bad service from TOYOTA.

Time really, really flies! Today, one year ago, I am still at the Emperor Garden Restaurant, waiting for all the guests to leave, packing, etc.

Today, hubby planned for a dinner to celebrate our 1st anniversary. After ordering our food, he mumbled that he need to go to the toilet or something, and left the table.

Within minutes, he walked back to our table with a bouquet of roses and a card =). OMG! This really took me by surprise!!!! He even asked the waiter to help take a picture of us!!! Wahhh. My husband. So spontaneous and "brave" =P

Thinking back, we used to come to this place during our courting days. And that was like more than 15 years ago. Until today, thank god the restaurant is still in business 'cuz, we will order the same food (almost same) each time we dine here. Hehehe! And the best part is, we both will never get tired of it =P

Actually, it is the butter garlic sauce that is such a yummy yummy!! Either 1/2 or 1 dozen, it's a MUST-HAVE!! Doesn't matter what we'll be ordering as our main, this dish must not be missed!

After ALL these years, he still luv the sizzling chicken! Come to think of it, he luvs anything that SIZZLES!! (oooooooo) He will sometimes go for mixed grill...but most of the time, this is his favourite dish!

And mine, is the Chicken Maryland! Luv the banana fritters, simply the best!! Fried food are alwiz the best, although alwiz the most unhealthy!! But still, this is the best place to have Chicken Maryland...after ALL these years! INCREDIBLE!!

Knowing that I will definitely blog about this special moment, I asked the waiter to help to take one more picture before we leave. =)

Skeleton in the closet? What would you do if you find out about the darkest secret of your other half? Would you pretend not knowing? I tried. Really.

Do I have any secrets? Yes I do. Everyone does. But the painful part is when one finds out about it. If it is forever hidden, I guess, no one will get hurt. So, if you do have one, becareful not to let it out, otherwise..don't keep one.

Better to forget, than to remember? Some people would choose to forget, but not me. Anything that happened, happy or sad, I wish to pen it down. Learn from it, if it is a bad decision. Celebrate if it is a wise one.

Will I heal? Time will heal, I am sure. Just need more time...
