Think again...

My definition of beautiful?
Not just about good looks or sexy body etc... but the heart and soft-spoken... Courtesy! (Budi Bahasa)... To me - whatever that kind of person looks like doesn't really count to me (Jerry Yan, Anuar Zain, Van Diesel, Milan Baros and some more are acceptable huhu... well, who doesn't love beautiful creature right?)

Anyway,

This story goes way back on July 08 when my friend and I having a latte at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf (large vanilla latte is my favourite... yummy!!) There are 3 ladies maybe around my age or so just walk in... to my views they're nice-looking-model-type which I always wish to have... *haha*

Too bad they are too snooty and loud - Maybe they know their beautiful, people looking at them and they've become snobbish... Slavering the staffs as if they owned the place (maybe they owned the place?)... Making fuss out of petty things like the too simple menu 'la', nothing to order 'la', why can't bring in outside food 'la', blended not enough 'la'... or laughing like no tomorrow when seeing a gothic groupie passing by for take-aways, everything is not 'ngam' enough... I wonder why are they stopping by at 1st place...
*I just wish my friend didn't pick that seat! In this position there's no way not to look at them..*

And it's just about to start raining outside - heavily soon after, that too been complaining, the act of God...?!

As usual, I don't bloody hell care about them and continue chitchatting with my friend while enjoying my large vanilla latte... I didn't know how long the time has passed until we heard loud screaming outside the premise...

Imagine back in 1993, Naomi Campbell tumbles on runaway right in front of hundred pair of eyes... talking about how-many-inches of that heel... *opocot!*

but this time with mickey mouse underwear showing!!

SERIOUSLY???

*hua hua hua*

...some pretty / classy girls la konon.... 'Ahhh..sudahlaaa!'

NTGravity : so dont be a snobbish.. we all are not perfect.. yup!

Hello again... I know it’s been a while after my last post...

Worry no more, yea. Let's talk about table manner. I’ve been to a very nice dining place with my friends recently - we’re having 4-course western food. The place was ve~ry nice, with light music and the ambience was superb! It's nowadays dining cafe style, ermm.. fusion 'kot'? Which wasn’t considered as fine dining but still, feels like one - only no dress-code whatsoever…

It’s so a comfortable place to hang out while having fabulous food.. and our food? Love it... Really enjoy ‘Cappucino Wild Mushroom Soup‘ with ‘Cheezy Garlic Bread‘ and followed by ‘Turkey Potato Salad‘…

Hellooo.. Earth to ME!! (Oh yea.. totally lost it.. haha.. pardon me…)

A-NY-WAYS…,

We're taking our time, having good chat while having good food... It’s a good combo, which not last too long when family of 7 come and sit not far from us... Probably two tables away…

The problem here, they weren’t talking too loud or something but the little rugrats that they bring in… Annoying..!

Don't get me wrong here.. I do LOVE kids, kids are fun but I believe kids sometimes have to know the terms between ‘play time’ and ‘behave time’… or 'at home' or 'public places'...

And I also believe that parents do have to know when or where to take control of their children… Yea yea, I know parents nowadays are more open-culture kind but PLEASEEE for crying out loud!! do that in your home... please!

Some situation :

Exhibit A :

Kid: go to the kitchen area and try to make a conversation like asking ‘what are you doing mister?’ or ‘why are your head don’t have a hair??’ - while ‘the chef’ answer very very nicely to every questions like a tourist guide. Matter of factly, secretly cursing or whatever.. MAYBE!

PARENT will say: "My baby love to learn something new and i will let them interacting with people to built their confident or so and so…."

Note: Nothing to do with upper picture... :) only me adoring Subs!!... hahaha

Exhibit B :

Kid: Playing or ‘rearranged’ decorations which God knows how much the price of those or how valuable the things are.. Let alone to appreciates time and pain of the people who done it…

The parent will say: My kids got talent as an interior designer…

… just to names a few.. not to mention the way they look at us as their stop by at our table... HREEaHH….

DISCLAIMER: I’m not against parenting…

It just that I remember how my parents taught me table manner - chewing with my mouth close, don’t play with the food, wash your hand, behave when dining out…

NTGravity : Maybe, looks like a passive development... I think it's better that way... There are sure lots of ways to teach our kids.. and yet, it's still long way to go for them... #my2cents

PLUS

I have a boyfriend who really endures table-manner which I, too, slacking here and there but at least hey. I’m learning here!!! Haha

SO… my point here… ( it’s a really long post this time yea??)

Anyway, my friend and I personally were really uncomfortable - suddenly the kids running around, hitting our chairs, other's handbag, disturbing our dear waiter with endless questions so loudly, kicking one of the large vases which I hope it might crack… and yes, father and mother demurely talking while watching and "observing" (duhh) not noticing other patrons ‘distressing fever' rising…. (which wasn’t only us..)

I have no choice but to call the waiter to ask them to stop these kids from running around seems that the parents were doing nothing about it... It’s not safe,you know with all this knife and fork on the tables. It wasn’t only hazardous to them but also to others… before I finish my words, the owner take control and consulted the parents with a straight face giving choices either look after their young or go dine somewhere! My Goodness!

.....and it's peaceful again… Thank God… Yay!!!!

Nope, the kids started to do the ‘High School Musical’ crockeries version.. Banging spoon, plates… [Sighhh.....]

A wise man says; If you can’t beat them, join them... [literally]

End of the day, we skip our dessert and go somewhere else...

You might think like.., what are we fussing off about kids.., just don’t bother, and blah and blah...

Well, I DO bother - I'm paying too...

Parent… please take control of your kids.. teach them manner - at least to respect other people, they're paying too, you know….

And also, please keep your eyes on your kids - don’t let them wandering alone even when you think it's ok to let them play around… You never know…

That’s it…. Peace and God Bless!

NTGravity : Respect to earn respect...

Mood : Missing him… huhu

Haiittt!

*holla*

I missed some of my friends but I couldn't get to see them yet due to time and work. Not to forget old school and childhood friends... I lost my cellphone in 2007 and lost most of my important information... so if u think u know me, just give me a buzz ok... Send me a text or something... I'm sure will reply back.

I would love to share a story about a new friend of mine, let's called him Vilan, who was born in Kuching and raised in LA, USA. We met at the Kuching International Airport end of May when I'm sending my parents for their flight and Vilan just arrived from Kuala Lumpur. It's kind of funny actually how we met...

I met Vilan for the first time when I bumped into him... I mean a real bumped to his trolley and drop one of his huge baggage. I was so veRY VERY embarrassed and quickly pick up his massive heavy bag - apologies and walk away.

Cursing myself for 'goofy-ing' in public place like that, I hide awhile at the cookies shop, pretend to buy some cookies.. well, I did buy some!
(Side note: Those cookies are yummy 'giler', although i don't really like sweet thingee... I know myself is sweet enough already... huah huah huah!!)

Never met him again since that...

If I'm not mistaken, 2 weeks later we met again at KFC. He happens to sit right next to my table... andddd he remembers me so we introduce ourselves and have a pleasant chat...

Since that day we often meet somewhere just to hang out...

*truly lost*

I've asked him why come back to Malaysia instead of staying in US, he told me - he'd stayed in US for the last 30years and enjoy being there very much but he has lost one thing in the family - connection *phew*.

Back in US, when he is 12 years old he left home for boarding school and by age 18 years old for college.. he didn't have much time at home except for Christmas but that time he's cool with it - no curfew, no grounded, no sharing things with siblings, more independent and whole lots more!
When he grew up as an adult - he earns a good job but ends up being a jerk - no manners, lost of culture and not even nice to his own family so the tied is finally broken...

One day, Vilan's father passed away... he is devastated as his old man was Vilan's best friend when he is still a kid and lately he has been forgetting about him...

*found*

Then he resigns from his work and moves back to Malaysia with one mission - ... meeting he's late father's families that he never met... The good part is Vilan's late father had a twin brother! For Vilan it's like given a second chance...

*lost again...*

Now - after a while, i didn't get to see him anymore...After I've changed my works and I lost his number so I just want to wish him the very best of lucks!! Where ever you are, bro!

NTGravity : it's a circle of life that we will meet and depart... so let's cherish this link of friendship while it last...
Haiitt!!!

*so.. do you aware that this entry has no graphic or photo? lol*
