Want vs Need

 Yes, some things in life I merely want but don't need.

Reality check:: You don't always get what you want. No matter how hurtful it can be.

Opening of Gravy Baby, Seri Kembangan on 7th March 2010

With it's clean-cut-yet-homey interior, it feels like stepping into a housewarming party instead of a restaurant opening. With families and friends gathering around (even strangers became friends afterwards), you'd feel at home and at ease; especially with it's old-school-folks' songs (you know, like keroncong) playing at the background. Little kids were running around because of the spacious land they have (it's a corner lot), youngsters were enjoying the live shows and the more senior family members would lounge around at the sofas equipped with comfy cushions.

The western food was good, and the friendly service topped it all off with a cherry on top. With the pretty lighting that is sufficient (perhaps could be dimmed a bit as Syafiq suggested), people can opt to sit inside or out (both are great). The kitchen was located at the back with no door to connect the dining place with it so no worries about being seated at tables too near to the kitchen (happens so often) and ending up getting rushed to the hospital for asthma attack.

Half-way through the night, it was pouring quite heavily for a bit but me being the quintessential optimist believes wholeheartedly that it symbolizes the abundant rezeki for the food haven. (cepat! aminkan!) ;)

All in all, last night went so well and we all hope for the best for our friends and Gravy Baby.

p/s: Untuk si cantik (yes, you fynn jamal), wish you were there last night...

Here's a question for all of you...

"How low would you stoop for you to seem high?"

      First of all, I don't didn't believe in 'pengipas' or 'penyapu' (whichever suits you). However, since my friends and I have started working, we've been hearing (and troubled by) a lot of these cases. OK, before you say 'I do not!!!', let me make this clear. It's completely different if you do that yet you do your job and well at it. That's still forgivable. I'm talking about those who would worship the air the higher posts breathe in and kiss the very ground they step on.

     Yes, we do smile so often at our bosses, have meaningless chats and try our best to look diligent; but to what extent would you reach to be the best among the best? The worst part is, those worshiped would actually lavish in the spotlight and pedestal being put on. Saying things like 'In here, I can only see one person who is willing to go the extra mile to be promoted. The rest are without goals and focus in life!'. What the heck was that? Yes, he has a focus. His focus is on your butt.

     I don't mind these a** kissers that much but I do wish that they'd see they are annoying tahap gaban (sorry, couldn't find the English words for it). I think I'll respect these people more if they're successful in life because they deserve it. Last time I checked, a** kissing wasn't in the responsibilities list of any Letter of Appointment.
