Pagi yang MARAH!

Early morning working here with full spirit to make sure the day is meaningful. But someone had said that "Alan yang lokek belanja makan!". Bukan saya enggan belanja, saya pun pernah belanja kawan-kawan makan. Jika mereka berani makan whatever I bring to them, then no problem for me to buy them a drink or any food. Sorry to Nadia and Nizam. Bukan Alan tidak mahu makan, if you two read my blog, so I hope you two will understand. Congratulations on your pertunangan and you have my wishes which is the most sincere to you all.

Farewell Dinner to Mr Kamal Firdausi

He is one of the hardworking staff that I acknowledged since I worked in this polytechnic. It is not easy to have a friend who has his high commitment in his career. I remember that I like to meet him to share my opinions, complaints and whatever I wanted to say about our services here. For me, he is not only an academic staff but his contribution to our department or indirectly to this polytechnic should be taken as our good example. Very soon he will leave us and starts his new life in other place. I do wish him to go on or more in his career and his family. Just take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to him on whatever things around us. Please take a good care, Kamal and do visit us one day in future if we have the chance to meet again. Last but not least, wish you all the best!

My First Experience on Sushi Kin Kuching

Only after the orientation, I have the extra time on my blog. Now writing about the experience I gained from the Sushi Kin at The Spring Kuching. My first impression on it was good. Nice place and I felt comfortable with the food as display. Together with my friend, Tiing Sik, we makan there. We ordered a set of sakana another set of nabeyaki. We ordered another 4 extra sushi. We were served with two cups of green tea. Then, we kept waiting for our set to come. Enjoyed the food and the food really delicious.  Then, I asked on my mind that where my sushi going? After 40 minutes, I called the waitress and asked her about the sushi. She double checked the order that prepared by the staff YOT. She served only three sushi. After another 25 minutes, my friend and I made decision that we didn't want to wait anymore. We paid the bill at the counter. I complaint about the services provided but looked like no action taken.

We don't mind if the price is expensive because we expect the best of the quality food and the services from the service crew. But unfortunately  the poor service I experience at Sushi Kin again make me lost the confidence on them. Again, I hope the management of Sushi Kin can do some customer service training on the staffs from Spring outlet to ensure that only the best is given to the customers.

Minggu Suai Kenal Pelajar January 2010

After 3 days and 3 nights I involved myself in this orientation with my new students, I feel really tired now. No enough sleep and have to make sure that everything is working in progress. For the first night of my moral lecture, it was started with Mr. Lim  with his talk on "Amalan Kebersihan dan Keselamatan di PKS". Followed by my motivation  slot which was "Di manakah kawanku?" Then, only after 10pm, I arrived at home. The next early morning, around 4am, I woke up and then ready for my new day. Malangnya hujan lebat oooo! The first morning lecture started with the counselor from PKS, Mr. Send  on his talk about the moral issues nowadays especially happened in our campus. My second presenter gave his talk about "Jangan Pandang Belakang" and I really unlike his way to conduct the talk. But at least he was there. Oklah...only after 40 minutes extra waiting for him to get out from the hall, I continued my session with the students on "Analisis Tahap Stress". The second early morning, it was my turn with the topic "Saya Bukan Tidak Berjaya". The third evening session of the moral lecture started with Mdm Tan on her topic about the communication. Lastly, came to the last topic from Mr. Philips, which is the only India lecturer I invited from this polytechnic.

For me, everyone has done their job well and I appreciate what they have done to make this event success. Thanks again on your hard work and I really happy that you all were there. Thank you also to Kak Viviana on your attention on my work to make me more effective. Thanks to all my new students and do welcome to this polytechnic. Hope you enjoy your studies here.

My Car Service at Gamma

As usual, now come to the time doing my car service at Gamma here. Once I done the procedures at the counter and given the coupon for having some drink or food. Anyway, sad to tell everybody that the customer services once again provided by the canteen is really bad. When I asked the boss "How much for the thing with this coupon?" Haha...guess.. what he said? "Enough for one air and roti bakar." What do you think about the answers??? I checked on the price about the food. Wahhh.... I believe that nobody can believe that this is the kind of "five stars pricing!". One egg chicken rice costs you RM6.80++. One fried mee can quote you about RM7.80++. My God! I really like to do my car service in this service centre Gamma but the problem now is the quality of servicing especially the canteen, the first impression from the staff/technician and the most important thing is the washroom... going down and down...! Come on... don't dissapoint me! Do something for this new year.

Poor Services from Pizza Hut

The dinner at this evening really disappointed me because of the poor and stupid services provided by the Pizza Hut in Boulevard Kuching. The staff didn’t even know how to serve the customers and I don’t think they understand about the concept of customer services. Whey they came to get the order, no greeting and no welcoming words from the staff. The time we took the dinner, the staff was allowed to sweep the floor in the restaurant. Together with my friend, we kept waiting for our order. We were served the pizza and the Pepsi but they forgot already the breadstix. No excuse on this because they just left the order without any oral notice. When we asked, we were informed that the bread finished and they were making the new one and it took time. I believe that if I didn’t ask them about the breadstix, they will just keep quiet until we left the restaurant. Again, I asked the staff about the incomplete order. My god! Where is my seafood lagsana? The supervisor took my order but he just provided us the very poor services. At last, after the complaint, the dinner was free but sadly the supervisor didn’t even come and give apology on this situation. Do you think that I will recommend my friends and students to go to Pizza Hut anymore? You got my answer! Please and tolong tolonglah… now is 2010 and everyone is talking about the quality of services. Don’t they know?

My First Song in 2010

New Year now and I believe that it is another great year for me with new ambition and goals. I worked very hard to score for everything in 2009 and thanks God on giving me everything I want. In this 2010, I want to learn more and practice everything on the moderate way (中庸). Based on what Confucius said, “"See a righteous man, I try to improve myself so as to measure up to him. See an evil man, I search my heart to see if I have that evil in me" (見賢思齊焉，見不賢而內自省也). Also, look at some saying about the moderated way, “To be "moderate" means that we keep our "Gladness, Anger, Sadness, Happiness" in check. And to be harmonious means that when we express those feelings, we keep them under restraint.” (喜怒哀樂之未發，謂之中；發而皆中節，謂之和). To relax myself, after I woke up and suddenly felt like want to listen to the song 爱的代价. Last but not least, enjoy the song.
