CHEAT MY MONEY!!!!
My parents went down to JB this morning to settle some issues, & knowing my mom, she's a tad concern about our food. Whether we will starve or not. Anyway, my youth counsellor was nice enough to take us out for dinner, and that sort of gave some kind of relief to my mom. No need to stock the fridge as though we are at war. Not knowing where to go, we decided to head to the hottest and most dikunjungi place in the whole of Seremban: Jusco. Just directly opposite my neighbourhood.
We ordered a 4-persons meal at Pizza Hut that serves: 1 large pasta, 1 regular pasta, 1 regular pan pizza, 4 drinks, 4 soups, 1 cheesy sticks for RM 39.90 minus tax and stuff. While happily waiting for the food to come and freezing all our fingers off, I was thinking of the hot mushroom soup and at least warm pizza to keep me from devouring the tabasco sauce and pepper. Oh ya, they don't let us take our own mushroom soup anymore. Call it courtesy or whatever it is, I think it's a plot to not let our Malaysian nature of wanting to scoop-full-full mentality to bulldoze their whole stock of mushroom soup. Tau- tau lar, Malaysians take mushroom soup at Pizza Hut, must fill the bowl TO THE BRIM. If spill onto the little saucer also never mind, cause after that can take the saucer back to the table and still lick from it, or pour it back into the bowl. Whatever it is, we don't waste. Didn't our parents taught us well???
The pastas came. I looked at the pastas, I looked at the waiter who served us. He didn't see my unbelievably round eyes and almost dropping jaw. We ordered 1 large pasta and 1 regular pasta. Yup. I was sure of that, cause I told my bro to get me the menu so that I could double check whether we got the right thing. The large pasta, was so smallllll til its the same size as the regular pasta. The only difference was, the plates. One was bigger, another smaller. HELLO!!!! The menu said big pasta, and small pasta; not big-plate pasta and small-plate pasta. The portion was the same, my bro tried it by putting it into a smaller plate. And the pastas were cold!!! So were the cheesy sticks!! And they weren't even cheesy. CHEAT MY MONEY!!!!!
Almost made a ruckus about it, decided against since I wanted to have a quiet dinner without additional spit + a few more strands of pasta on my already pathetic pasta. So tempted to complain and get myself bar from Pizza Hut. Cheat my money.... Ppl, if you don't wanna be shortchanged, don't eat at Seremban's Jusco's Pizza Hut.
Even the arcade also wanna cheat my money. Got 6 tokens to play Virtual Cop 3. Those guns can't shoot for nuts! Din't continue after we dieded. Had to find people to sell the tokens also. Some people thought we were trying to push some direct selling stuff, and started walking away fast. I had to say, "Encik, encik, encik (running away), saya tak habis token saya lar, encik nak beli tak?" (Baru he stopped). Sigh, bukannya tak biasa malukan diri in public. Always happened in Penang. What to do, sometimes you have to put ourselves out in the open, susceptible to shame and embarassment, to try achieving something we hope to get. Sometimes, the effort stops at trying, but nevertheless, we tried. And the embarassment, well, what does not kill us will only makes us stronger. Amen.
