Hi, My Name's Forrest, Forrest Gump. And...

One of my Bubba Gump Shrimp & Co. restaurants ain't doin' a fine dandy job at all.

I read good reviews about it, but whats most important about a restaurant is GOOD IMPRESSION. If its really bad the first time, gone case la. Never go back.

So my bro got his first paycheck, and he decided to take me and our two cousins out for dinner at the said restaurant.
It wasn't very easy to order, considering everything on the menu was SHRIMP. I guess Bubba was right when he said there was a million ways to cook shrimp.

First of all, 3/4 of the drinks they serve were alcoholic.
So fine, four lemon teas.

The 'Run Forrest Run' and the 'Stop Forrest Stop' system for calling the waiters was a little too unsystematic. Like, dude. I'd have to remember to put the sign back to 'Run' everytime i was done ordering. And if i don't, they'll come to me and say ' Yes, Run Forrest Run?' pointing at the stupid sign everyone forgot for change.

Then there's the bad service.
Nobody, i do mean NOBODY is around when you actually need to ask for something. Everyone's like chilling in the kitchen or taking a smoke break. And if there's a birthday, all employees will leave their workstations and proceed to out-birthdaycheer TGIFs, leaving all customers unattended. Took us 15 minutes for someone to get the bill.

Then there's the bill.
No sense of formality, since they don't use the black folder/book thingies when they bring the bill. Just the bill. With one hand. Like MAMAK LIKE THAT. Pay so much money for mamak service.
No 'thank you please come again' after giving back the change. Again, with one hand, no eye contact, no smiles, no hand to hand, just on the table.
What disappointment for a dinner that expensive??

The food was... Okay. Just really average.
Nothing to shout about. Deep fried shrimp... Stir fried shrimp... Grilled shrimp...
The portions were not as big as TGIFs or Chili's or any above average priced outlet.
So it definitely was not worth the money.

One of my cousins had the Baramundi.
It wasn't very good considering the only thing we could taste was the fishiness. And i do mean the bad kind.

The Bucket of Boat Trash was...



Not a very big portion for something call a bucket. Two crawfish, some shrimp, a bit of fish and like a mound of fries at the bottom to give you an optical illusion that its huge.



I don't remember what this was called, but i was probably the only good dish of the whole dinner.



This was what i ordered. The Shrimp New Orleans. Looks like Kam Heong Prawn Rice. But its just a balsamic vinegar based sauce.


The bill went up to about 200++ bucks for just those four dishes.

Aw man, epic fail!!!
I am so disappointed and regret that i was ever excited to eat there.




But its my bro's first time treating us, so i guess its the thought that counts. Thanks bro.. Haha.

You Can Kiss My (Cigarette)Butt!

Everyone's smoking now. Like, that's not cool man... :(
It doesn't actually "cool you down" or "de-stress you" or "makes you look sociable".
So what's stopping you from kicking that habit?

Whip It.

Went to Bermuda & Onion at Changkat last saturday. The food was really good actually. The waitress served up the wrong order so guess what she did?

She said ' oh its ok i'll get your order for you. This one's on the house. '

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahhahaha one in a million places would do that nowadays.
The food is not cheap, they probably lost 40 bucks in profit.
But wow, 100 points for being nice!
The food would have been wasted anyway if you threw it away.

Been sick since Monday. I really am a weakling. Since i came to KL i'be been getting sick so often. I need Momma's chicken soup pronto.

I also watched Legion. It was nice, managed to keep me awake throughout the whole hour and a half.




I still read your blog. Even if i'm not the only one allowed to anymore. Am i?

Calculators Anonymous.

In my whole life, the only thing that should be calculating and counting everything down to the cent is a calculator, not a human being.
But for the first time in my life, i finally met someone who fits the bill.

OMG you selfish prick.

I have never, ever in my life encountered someone so OBNOXIOUS and EGOISTIC and CALCULATIVE.

I have learnt my lesson.
When calculators say invite and offer, it really doesn't mean invite and offer.

So there you have it folks. My heroic encounter with a calculator.

Why You Little @!$%!@!!

Its the second week of BMUS term 1. I'm already on the edge.
HOW?????

:D

YOU.

Warning : EXTREME LEVELS OF ANONYMITY. NO ONE [YOU] IS THE SAME PERSON, SOME OF WHICH ARE JUST YOUS IN GENERAL. CONFUSION IS HIGHLY LIKELY. VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OVERSENSITIVE FEELINGS AND REACTIONS IN ASSUMING AN IDENTITY OVER ANY OF THE YOUS STATED BELOW.

1. When YOU are befallen with misfortune in life, it really sucks, but don't take everyone for granted when we lend YOU a helping hand. It really does make us want to punch you in the face.

2. Just because YOU think that there really is a size 0, it doesn't mean that everyone else conforms with that kind of superficial contemplation.

3. Get YOUR own style! Fuck, what ever happened to originality?? EPIC FAIL!

4. Just because YOU think that a certain something is 'pretty' , 'cute' or 'wow-i-should-find-a-use-for-this' it doesn't mean YOU have to get it. And when i discourage it, YOU make a fuss. When i don't give any advice, YOU say i'm ignorant. FAIL??!!!

5. Just because YOU think that you're smarter than anyone else because YOU grew up thinking that way, it doesn't mean that YOU are ACTUALLY smarter. The things YOU say can be EXTREMELY brainless sometimes. YOU also think that we're all lesser beings and YOU'RE the awesome high breed. FAIL FAIL FAIL DOT COM!!!!

6. YOU don't have the right to insult other musicians just cause they don't play JAZZ LIKE YOU. I have never said anything against the music you like. Excuse me if i actually like to listen to Paramore and other non 7th chord songs with 9,11,13 tensions with a b5. It really doesn't help when you diss the songs that i like. The more you play your jazz licks the more tempted i am to have you lick a toilet seat. It's still a lick isn't it?

7. Just because you have broken up and gotten back together with each other 21432562347437358547 times it doesn't actually mean that we are still interested in listening to the same ol' bullshit for the 21432562347437358548th time. If things are that bad, MOVE THE FUCK ON!

8. Just because YOU are a MALAYSIAN/in MALAYSIA it doesn't mean that YOU have the right to conform to the profoundly STUPID & OBNOXIOUS habits 90% of the population seem to be practicing. i.e walking in a really crowded place and stopping RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of NOWHERE blocking EVERYONE'S path and cursing when we bump into YOU after YOU do so, showing off your REMPIT skills throttling your bike's engine in front of households and traffic lights in the middle of the night etc. etc.

9. Just because YOU don't have a life it doesn't mean that the rest of the world doesn't, so stop showing off your fantastic bass boosting sound system at 2am in the morning.

and lastly,

10. Nobody appreciates a suck up. YOU really should start changing your game plan.

Barely Breathing.

My first day in semester one in Bmus started yesterday.
I now have Aural Training, Digital Audio Applications, Jazz/R&B Ensemble and Music History.
Something tells me that i will attempt to pull my hair out eventually.
But i am really enjoying being back on track so far...
Really hungry, needs to finds some nom noms.
Now that both my brother and me are in KL, i kinda feel bad for my parents, being alone at home with *TABONG*.
That's why i'm gonna go home as often as i can.

(Seriously... I is want to move out. Housemates are getting more and more obnoxious.)
