While the other side is paint drawing by artist named Chai. Basically the decoration mainly to wood and the lighting consider medium. Overall, the design fulfill what a cafe should like, in the other words, the design is normal. No much decoration except the wall and counter. The table is clean, I mean, totally clean. You can't find any chili sauce or tissue there, but that all will settle after that. Extra: They do have special menu which are written above the counter when you walk in. The prize range from MYR10-20 for meal and 6-12 for beverage and dessert.

About the food, I ordered a Grilled Chicken Chop with Black Pepper Sauce. Time taken for serving within 15 minutes, beverage can be served in 1 minute waiting (that is very fast!). At this time, service crew will give all the utilities and tissue. Oh, WiFi available. (this is very important). The plating overall looks simple and clean, except the salad, it is not so appealing... but I do feel hungry at the moment of serving.

The plating

The salad only have two pieces of cucumber, one piece of tomato and shredded carrot with mayonnaise. The vegetables were a bit dehydrated, but it is normal to salad since they sliced it and put aside to fasten up the deliver speed.

The salad

Unlike salad, the fries taste better than its look, crispy outside and soft inside. I usually do not like fries that served along with the chops because most of it was dry, and the potato inside taste like powder, but this fries really taste great. I would like to praise for their service attitude here, as my eyes wandered around the table to look for chili sauce, they immediately pass it to me before I asked. They pay attention to their customer and will detected any unusual, give quick service before customer ask. Most of the cafe can't do that, they only quickly approach to you when you want to order (some of them you even have to raise up hands and shout for service). I would like to give a 5 stars for their service.

Fries

The chicken taste a bit dry, maybe overcooked. It is not juicy inside, and the meat they use is drumstick. The black pepper sauce taste combination of little bit sweet, little bit of sour and hot. It does not make me feel greasy after i finished my meal, and it eventually help me in open my appetite. Even it was cooled, the taste still remain, fries still as crispy as it is, and the meat taste just fine. Overall I will give 6/10 for the taste.

As you can see the chicken looks a bit dry

I will go for the next time to try different cuisine and update on this blog.

Makeup = Plastic Surgery

I joined protocol because I want to wear pretty skirts and my hair done. I just assume we have to do it by our own, or by friends, but I did not expect that we could have an makeup artist and hairstylist for us, it really made me excited when I hear that news. But how, when I done all my make up, I was kind of... shocking. I hardly find where is me in the picture after the event, and my friends who came the pesta just pass by me without give me a glance. So sad. They only stopped when I called them ,and they looked blurred. They hardly recognized me without second glance. Once they knew that that was me, they shouted.

The first task went back home is to wash my face thoroughly. I tried to wash only half of it, and I scared myself. It was two different face! Maybe I am monolid and that is why my eyes did not change too much, my my brow, my face shape, my skin tone... Oh my god.  Well, at least not only me who do "plastic surgery" yesterday. ^_^

Have We Lost Our Passion?

I have been longing for today, the biggest event in this university - Pesta Chun - an event that celebrate Chinese New Year of Monkey. At morning rehearsal, first session is for elementary school who willing to perform traditional umbrella dance, I feel so touched when they all dance so glee, a lot of laughter i hear from the audience seat. Unlike what we perform, when we rehearsal, we could hardly hear a laugh, everybody was so stress in deliver perfect performance and make us forget about enjoy. The children they laugh, they smile, they dance so gleeful. I was influence by them and laugh together. I enjoy their performance. This is the real performance! Performance should make audience laugh and become a part of the performer, and drag audience into the world that they want audience to feel. Our performance nearly perfect, I could tell, but i sense something is not right. I can't tell what is wrong, because the performance nearly flawless. Now I can tell, we do not have the spirit inside. The performance like would not appeal audience, even me as a part of the committee cannot feel that pleasant. Have we lost our passion in performance? We lost. We forget out aim and motive. We lost.

Hard to Tell

If we success now, it does not guarantee than we will success in future too. Don't think too far, maybe you success now, but tomorrow fail for the exam or quiz?

I am not that kind of person that study hard, neither smart. I study at last minute, and the most probably reason for me to score in academic is luck. I bet on the section and chapter that out from the exam. I success now, and attending Majlis Anugerah Dekan (which means dean list ceremony). About 300 of acceptance in the list, and I am only one of it.

Well, I undergo many ups and downs, i had straight As for PMR, and that made me ego, but I get a B for my BM in SPM. It is really hard to describe when you usually success, all along your life without fail, and suddenly get a B, while all of your friends get straight A for that. You will be sitting down there, watching them receive all the claps and lights, and you cried down there. 

Since then, I hardly focus on my academic. It is really hard to predict the change. I used to spend 10 more hours per day in reading books, but now, I refuse to do that. I can't tell what makes me change. 

Complaint After You Know All The Details

I just went back from a rehearsal for a big event held five days after today, and what I am participating is protocol crew, and I am in charge of VIP room plus stage run.

Today I just know there are a lot of complaints about protocol, which others crew show their disapproval over us. Maybe I am a slow catch-up, yesterday plenty people asked me: "Why your group train for so long?", I thought they just show their caring. Ha, what a so-called caring they gave.

What unbearable is, they did complaint, but did not gave specific comment. The only line I heard was "They are not good." Where? What we did until others are not satisfied with us? If want to give comment, please specify it so that we can change. Others might saw what we did not saw, and that is what I want! I want a constructional comment, but not just critic.

They will never know how hard we train. Where are they when we were wearing that stupid high heels and walking around the house like an idiot? Where are they when we training, walking from end to end of the hall for 3 hours non-stop just to keep their ass safe from being critic by VIP and audience? Where are they when we put our task priority our starving stomach?

They will never know how hurt it is when our foot are full of blister, but still need to maintain our smiling face. We cannot even enjoy ourselves in the show, we have to be always prepared. And I, will stay in the VIP room, then backstage. I will not having a chance to watch at the show.

But, what we get? We get complaints, a lot of complaints but same sentence: "They spend a lot of time in training and that is what comes out?"

Please, please please, judge before complaint.

About Future as Psychologist

Since I miss many important events in my life, and now i am tending to forget all those things, I decided to write it all in a blog, so I can refer it back whenever I want.

Now let's talk about future. Future is unpredictable. I thought I will pass an interview for medicine course, but it wasn't. Instead, I accept offer from UPSI (FYI, it is an educational university), but I won't accept it if I will be a teacher in future. I get Psychology in Hons as open market course.

It really troubles me and make my mood blue for a few days. I never thought I would get this - well, at least I can get pharmacy.

Psychology was my dream before. Yes, was. It was a dream at primary school and lower secondary, but then I see no job vacancy in Malaysia, I immediately get rid it out of my mind.

"What can I do if I become a psychologist? Treat mental illness? Oh for goodness sake, Malaysian tend to search for psychiatrist than psychologist. They can simply cure buy taking pills, rather than bubbling with so-called psychologist. You only spend money on that one hour consultation for chatting." They thought.

I found no bright future when I get the offer, but someone told me, It is great to take your old dream back. Hence, I go without more hesitation. "Nothing worse than now." I think.

I tried to convince myself, as what I used to do, I love psychology. I damn love it. And it worked, as usual.

I still don't know what can I do for my future, but now I do love psychology. It is really amazing (and sometimes upset) when you can know whether the person is lying or not. Or even know what they feel right now. Do they feel nervous? Do they feel irritate? Do they feel offended? When I asked: "Hey, are you telling lies?" they shocked, and most of them after I asked for a few times, they admitted. Sometimes quite sad, but it is okay as you know now who is telling lies to you. You can control the whole thing when you know what they think. And yah, psychologist is not wizard, we can't know a piece without observe. It doesn't comes rolling. STOP SAYING SUCH THINGS like "Oh you can read my mind!" when I tell you I take psychology course. I DO NOT READ YOUR MIND, I observe your behavior.

For now, I only prefer to become a clinical psychologist. I need to further explore before I really decide what I want to be.

Just as my friend, Phang. We chat on messenger just now, and she is on her right path. She passed her dentistry interview, and success to fulfill her dream. But now, she do not want to be a dentist, but a surgeon for oral and neck. She rarely change her mind without certain reason, but if she decided, she will go for it. Her future is predictable, a surgeon, unlike me.

I still does not know much about clinical psychologist, but now I hope, I can be a caring psycologist, that will make my mom proud of me.
