Challenging times
One of the major concern about road running is ofcourse not other than the traffic itself. Therefore, pedestrian walk path is built for the ease of people walking without worrying too much of road vehicles.

My country, is a one of a kind country where the bicycles and motorcycles are taking chances to ride on the pedestrian walk, and many of a times I've seen jogger refused to use the pedestrian walk, but running on the road. I'm not sure if this happen to your country. I had once an opportunity, a friend from different region came to visit, and we go for a morning walk, I asked him for the reason why does he choose to walk on the tarmac instead, he said that feels "real" compare to walking a thte pedestrian walk. Well, road accident is real too, are we suppose to try how hurt it feels?

Boy is growing up faster than the speed of light. Despite we live in the same house, but somehow for a moment I have this feeling of me as a father not being attentive enough towards young children. He looked so much more mature nowadays. I ordered a usual beef rice bowl with cabbage. It's just an ordinary rice bowl lunch from the localized Japanese style restaurant chain.

Took thse photos and purposely shared with home minister to inform her, there's something wrong with the restaurant today. The beef is super tender, the rice is soft, and best part of it was, even the fried cabbage, can actually smell a little burn smell. Taste super good, as if pour out from 5 star hotel Chinese cuisine restaurant.

Later in the evening, home minister invited us to go for dinner at the restaurant. The environment looks pretty cool, but other than that, everything started to go down south after the menu being delivered to the table. Booking was 7pm, and we couldn't order anything until the chef arrive.

Anyway, the chef arrived around 8:45pm, with the reason of his son not feeling well. We're just surprised that, such a huge restaurant rely on 1 chef. Which means, if he can't turn up to work, and we all can eat dust?

Finally the chef arrived, like more than half the menu is not available. As the explanation given was, their food are fresh, so if the chef didn't go out for shopping, which means they have not much can be cooked. So, we ordered 2 pastas, some finger food and getting ready to leave this place as soon as possible.

After waiting for like... forever? I think? Finally, one pasta come. And where is the other pasta? The waiter said, out of stock. Brilliant! First customer, ordered 2 pastas, and 1 served, and then running out of stock.

Apologize I had to recycle this photo from another blog, but this is the best way and the only way to describe. Seriously disappointed by it. And I guess, negativity does influence our daily life. I'm about to tell you yet another outrageous story after the dinner that didn't go well.

By the time I sent the kids home, it was already late. We decided to order delivery from the world most famous yellow and red striped clown, and the delivery time shows 10:50pm. Well, it is what it is. Its way passed dinner time, and the kids are hungry. Immediately after I made payment, and the restaurant called saying they ran out of ice cream. I said fine, change to something else, at least we get to eat. And by 10:50pm, supposed to be the delivery time, the restaurant called again saying they don't have anyone to help them deliver. I ask, should I wait? The restaurant operator said, BUT they don't know when the rider will be back and send my stuff.

So what? They expect me to say OK I'll wait? Or OK since I already paid, I don't need my food? At that point of time, I'm about to lose my cool, but I didn't. I said, fine I paid for delivery service that doesn't get deliver, that nevermind. I will go and collect. Just make sure to keep my food and don't let anyone pick them up.

After 10 minutes of driving, finally I'm about the reach the restaurant, the operator call me again. Saying I should go to the drive through and collect. When I look at the drive through queue, I really lose it, there and then. I told the operator she will have to send the food to my car, and I am not going to take the queue no matter what. If she doesn't comply, I will call the police and report this as a scam because I paid for the food, and also the deliver service, none of them get served.

The operator finally send the food to my car, I told her she should get fired, the entire branch should close down and they all should jump off the roof. Later that evening, I made a report on the case to their corporation office on customers feedback, and guess what? There's absolutely no reply at all, not even an acknowledge received email.

Anyway, it's a choice. We choose to use their service, we choose to order their food. We know it's bad for health, but we still do it. Even with this kind of treatment after paid, and they treat their customers like trash. I think I'm going to avoid this brand for a very long time to come. May be I should really go back to KFC more often.
