Highly do not recommend Korean BBQ Chicken at Jaya One

sick to the max. Since I was going to have lunch alone today, I decided to have something nice and pricey. At first, I went to Wendy's at Jaya One. But the queue was rather long, so I decided to go somewhere else. I was walking and walking and came to this Korean BBQ Chicken opposite starbucks. I looked at the menu, it's a bit pricey, but it is said to be the No1 BBQ Chicken chain or something like that in Korea. So I thought, well, just give it a try. I went in, found a table and sat down. On my laptop and tried to get connected to the net. No connection. ok. -1 point. I sat there waiting for 5 mins and nobody came to give me the menu. So i waved at a waitress. She looked at me, and then looked away. Ok. I didn't know I look so pathetic that nobody wana serve me. Waved at another waitress. She asked me to wait and then brought me the menu. OK. I looked thru the menu and ordered a chicken drumstick with i-don't-know-what sauce and french fries. Wanted to place my order, but nobody wana come to take my order, til 5 mins later. ok. I was really pissed already at that time. The price is quite high, but this kinda service? Waited 15 mins with an empty stomach and longing for the food. At last, it arrived on the table 15 mins after. I started cutting the chicken and tasted it. Not bad. It tasted a little like the chicken they sell at pasar malam satay stalls. And it's rather smooth. So I thought, alright, I will forgive them for the bad service coz the food isn't bad. I ate half the chicken and started cutting up another slice. !@#$%^&*(). I was so busy eating I didn't notice the meat because it was all covered up with a dark brown sauce. OMG. The meat was pink in color and it was shiny! Yes, it's RAW. I ate half a raw drumstick and didn't realize it.... no wonder it was so smooth and shiny. the more i cut it, the shinier it became. I wiped away the sauce to have a better look at it. OMG. It is 100% raw! Out of my mind, i waved for a waitress. She came, and I told her bout it. She asked me to wait. 1,2,3...4..................5.....................6......................... 7mins.....she was gone for that long and didn't reappear. Then, suddenly, she appeared with a few bowls in her hands and started serving another table without looking at me! omg. -100 points. I was enraged. Took my handbag and laptop and walked to the counter. Found another waitress and complained about it to her. she asked me to go to my table and wait. another 3 mins sitting there looking at the raw food. Then she came. She said she will change my dish. I said no. i cannot eat chicken anymore. "Do you have fish? or anything more cooked?" (coz i saw they have fish fillet or something on their menu). She said, "No. We only have chicken.". What kinda waitress is that? She doesn't know what they have in their menu? I said ok. I don't wana eat anything anymore. Then she asked me want now? I was like excuse me, aren't u supposed to pay me just in case I get sick? But of course I didn't say that. Being an idiotic person, I said watever, I will pay but I don't wana eat anything anymore from here. She took the plate away and went to the counter. I followed her. I paid and then asked her where the manager is. She said the manager is very busy now. "Is there a complaint form?" . "No". "anyone else in charge i can complain to?". "You can complain to me". What the.... Then, I suddenly saw a guy with a name tag walking pass us. I asked her if he is the manager. "Yes". Ok. He wasn't doing anything. He was just walking. And I assume to malaysians, that's considered as being busy? pfft. So i was i wana talk to him. She called for him. I complained to him about everything, how i got the raw meat, complained about it but the waitress just walked away and all. Believe it or not, he didn't even smile to me or utter a "sorry". Ok. Nvm. I said just take note of that and don't repeat the same mistake. I told him that and walked out to the opposite starbucks to detox. After all the things i've been thru, I had to pay RM17.50. If I crave for a raw chicken so much, I could've bought a whole raw chicken for that price (and a fat one too!). Too bad I didn't have a camera with me, or else I would've snapped a picture of the raw meat and posted it everywhere. Please, I urge you...never ever go to that resto. Highly NOT recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fear...

Fear.

What do you understand about fear?

Fear to me is like diving deep into an unknown world,

a space so close, yet unfamiliar.

A string of events have taken place lately. I went to Perhentian, came back, registered as an MA student, and started searching for a suitable job like crazy. Life cannot get more challenging than what I am facing now! The new semester will start this coming Thursday and I doubt that I will get any job at all. The feeling is like a shift from childhood to adulthood overnight. Everything is so vague. My future seems so bleak...

I still remember the moment I jumped down a pier at Perhentian early in the morning. It was so dark and all around me, a gigantic group of fishes were swimming and starring at me as if I had invaded their territory. On one hand, the scene was picturesque. On the other hand, it was intimidating. What if the fishes attacked me? What if there was something hidden under the wrecks found there, deep in the water? Everything was so beautiful and amazing, but there was a fear inside of me to reach out for anything.

Just like my fear for what's buried deep in the ocean, I have strong fear of the unseen before me. What will happen to me in weeks to come? and months, and years? Sometimes, I am so overshadowed by worries and fears that I unconciously forget to place everything in God's hands so that He can provide for me. I always remind others not to worry about tomorrow, but I rarely live up to my words.

What can I say about fear? What can you say about fear?
