Pies and Sushis

These are the two pies the lady boss gave me on Friday but I did not eat them until Sunday.

I had the chicken and mushroom pie for breakfast.

Today's Happenings

Yesterday the lady boss gave me two pies but I did not have time to eat them. I reserved them to eat for breakfast but still I did not get to eat them.

On top of that, I did not get to finish what I set out to do today. There were simply too many distractions.

The boss was having a meeting for his association and ordered pizzas online for lunch from Pizza Hut.

I wanted to let them finished their meeting and pizzas before I proceeded to order my lunch. But I received a call from Sharon Lai to join her, Monica Leong and Elizabeth Chung for lunch at California Grill at 1 Borneo. I could not say no because I knew Monica’s birthday would be in two days’ time. I had to show up and put work aside for the meantime.

Since I had some loose ends to finish before I could leave, I told Sharon I will meet them at Giant Likas for Elizabeth to fetch me.

I left work at 1.40p.m. The massive traffic congestion started outside the office. The journey from the office to Giant Likas took half an hour!

Sharon ended up fetching me while Elizabeth fetched Monica.

California Grill is located at Ground Floor, near the Mercure Hotel and RHB Bank Berhad stretch of shoplots. We were the only customers for the first quarter of an hour when we arrived.

Press the blue button for service

Pictures do not say a thousand words in this instance. In fact it was the reverse.

Beverages

Beef Lasagne

Who in the right mind would serve lasagne with the aluminium foil still intact? The lasagne sheet was not cooked thoroughly. It was too salty as well.

Grilled Salmon

The piece of salmon was tasteless. We had to dab on the sauce from the 'Cal Zone' to give the salmon a bit of taste. The veges tasted ok.

Grilled Spring Chicken

The chicken tasted slightly better of the whole lot. Veges served were exactly the same ones for the salmon.

'Cal Zone'

This was supposed to be a folded pizza and it came out burnt at the top. Basically the cook or whoever (cos the person definitely does not deserve to be called one) just put a piece of cheese and a few pieces of chicken ham inside a piece of pastry.

Honestly speaking, this was one of the lousiest Western meal I ever had and I think everyone agreed with me. We will not be going back to this place again!

After lunch or more like afternoon tea, we went to Chinatown in 1 Borneo.



We walked for a few hours before decided to have dinner at Home's on the Lower Ground Floor. The shop was quite smoky and therefore I presumed the ventilation was not functioning well.

I was coughing so I had hot lemon drink.

Monica had Claypot Chicken Rice with Salted Fish. Though the food tasted quite nice, she could not finish it because the cook put in too much soya sauce and therefore was too salty.

Elizabeth had Prawn Mee. The Prawns were not fresh but the soup and noodles tasted ok.

I had 'Asam Laksa'. It tasted quite spicy.

Trying Hard to Look at the Bright Side of Things

Work has been stress to the max.

No matter how patient I want to be, there is always a limit to everything. I have been chasing a colleague for her to get her work done since three days ago but she did not move one bit.

Instead of her being scolded by the prime consultant for producing work so late, as usual I am the target.

So in order to emphasize to her again the urgency, I have to use the prime consultant’s name in order for her to finally act. After what seemed like forever, finally her work is done.

But that is not the end. I still had to do my part. The project that needed half a day to be done had to be done within two and a half hours. If that is not stress, then I do not know what is.

Thank God I had two persons to help me. Otherwise I do not think I can leave work on time.

Fever

Last night while I was sleeping I did not switch on the fan. Most probably that’s why I woke up with fever this morning.

The weather has been cool and rainy since Sunday as predicted by the Meteorological Department last week.

The working day had been a long one and I thank God that eventhough I did not take any medicine, I could still work. I usually do not take medicine while working because the panadol would cause drowsiness and I would not be able to work. I would usually bear with the situation.

After lunch I rested for 40mins and I did not have the mood to entertain anyone including the boss. After he asked me for some documents, I went back to rest.

After my rest, I was confused when the boss said meant to be done one way but in the it was done another way. So I let him do whatever he wanted. I did not have the energy to argue with him.

I only took two panadols after dinner and I felt better now. Thank God for the healing.

Today’s Happenings

The electricians were in the office to change the wiring system and as a result, I cannot stay on to work in the afternoon. I could if I really want to but the noise and dirt stopped me. Instead I brought home some work to do.

CTY and I went to one of the shops near the Inanam Bus Terminal to have lunch.

I was looking for the shop selling Asam Laksa but the one we went into only sell Kuching Laksa, ‘Kon Lo’ Mee, Dumplings, Fish Head Noodles and Tom Yum Noodles.

We had Kuching Laksa. The taste was ok but I had eaten better ones in none other than where it supposedly came from ie. Kuching.

I took a long time to finish the noodles because i had a cup of Milo and two pieces of sandwiches at 12.30p.m., an hour before we had lunch.

We stayed and chit-chatted until 2.45p.m. CTY dropped me back at the office to get the car while he came back to fetch Barnabas and Alistair to the airport. Their dad was coming back from KL.

I had an hour snooze after coming home and made sushi after my nap.

Meanwhile, mum with Aunty Alice helping her was cooking up a storm.

CTY and Chloe were enjoying the freshly made sushi. CTY said that they tasted even better than Sushi King. Haha

This time round I used yellow sugar and therefore the rice came out yellowish.
