This is the size of the entry level burger.
Recently in sunway Wendy's openned. It was crowded most of the time and so i tried it last week. I ordered their entry level quarter pound burger combo that came with fries and a drink. It cost 9.45 after tax. From the ads, the crowd and their motto of quality, i did expect their burger to stand out. Unfortunately, i must say its a real let down. Its even worst than macD's Chicken and i hate the mac ds. For a few bucks more you can get more bang at carl's famous star, its entry level burger. Buy paying 3 bucks more you get a bigger burger, more salad, more sauces and even more and better fries. Thats why i am sticking with carl and those fella who are having wendys don't know they are conned.
Two days ago, after being informed by my mom that the price of rice will
increase by a whopping RM10 per 10kg, the kiasu part of me took over. After
work, I drove to Jusco to 'horde' rice. Why, Jusco priledge day 5% off
everything! It was unfettered joy when i found a nice car park in front of
Jusco, and so few people in Jusco and tons of rice bags. I grabbed 1 bag of
Basmati, 1 vacuum packed Eco-brown rice and 1 bag of 5% Thai Rice. Told you
i was hoarding.
When I finally wanted to check out, lo and behold, my Jusco card was
missing. Then I remembered, my dear wife took it since she lost hers! So, I
left the rice bags behind, paid the car park and went home grumbling.
After my wife duly handed me the Jusco card back, that is after I cooled
down after my shower, I head out to Jusco again despite protestation from my
wife who told me that its not worth it. I thought we could not survive
without rice and so stubbornly went ahead with my plan. Bought the rice bags
and a few packs of Jusco sausages (they are good) - had them paid and got
home.
Then the bumbest thing happened! After sitting in front of the TV for one
hour, my maid ask what I wanted for breakfast, for which I said in bahasa
indonesia, "i nak sausage yang saya beli". "Many ada sir?", she told me.
Then I raised her panic level when she tried to search in vain for the
"missing sausages".
Then after a few minutes of search, I then realise that it may have been
'left behind' - by the forgetful me. My wife told me to just write of the
lost. It amounts to close to RM30! I was like so unhappy since in trying to
save money, (by hoarding) , I am losing money 'by forgetting'.
Suddenly I had an epiphany. I took hold of the receipt, called the Jusco
number and hope. It was 10.30pm. I was thinking its a long shot.
Then alas a person answered over the other side, its a nice voice. I told
her, I forgot my sausages. She was sympathetic. Inside I thought to myself,
she must be thinking what a numbskull I was. I told her I bought them at the
counter of so and so. I am so grateful that Jusco actually prints out the
counter staff's name.
Then she said the magic words "Datanglah, kami bukak sampai 11pm hari ini."
I drove off in a huff, was told to pick up all my items again -since it was
frozen food it was returned to their original place. Got my parking
card stamp to avoid parking and left really grateful but feeling really
silly.
All for some nice Jusco sausages. Why? Because its worth it.
Zoe loves to pretend to take pictures of me with her fake camphone.
I haven't recovered fully from my flu and sore throat and had to visit my panel doctor again. By panel doctors i mean doctors that are as stiff as the wooden panels in the clinic and do very little pr with their patients. Business is always guaranteed with panel doctors. So i had this weird doctor who doubted that i ate all my anti biotics and told me that crossing ones leg in front of him is rude, while he sits crossleg!
One day another few bucks spent on rides. We are banning Zoe from malls for now. She cannot stop wanting to sit rides.
