burger king@amk hub

worse fast food i ate


it is incredibly inefficient. there is only one counter to order, and one counter to collect food from. the employees look frazzled and stressed.

as you queue you pass a viewing gallery where you watch them make your burger. big mistake here. they arent making gourmet food here. watching them slide out the compartments to take out the meat patties and squashing cabbage to plunk on the burgers make me think of a food factory. that doesn't make my burger more appetising to say the least. and honestly, the burgers look real ugly here.

i ordered my swiss mushroom chicken grill and it was really salty. the onion rings was salty. i can't taste anything but salt in anything. i always thought burger king's better than macdonalds, so what happened?

but i really like their decor. laminated wood tables and counters, homely cozy atmosphere. maybe it's just teething pain for now.

Happy New Year! 2012!!

I reread some of my oldest blog entries and was struck by how immature I sounded. haha! but it still sounded distinctively me- which was inane and rather excitable.

A new year! Woosh! so fast so sudden! I can never prepare for new year emotionally. It always feel like I barged into someone's room totally bewildered and confused. So my sneaky way is to procrastinate till Chinese New Year to anticipate the rush of a new clean beginning. and nothing, i mean nothing!! makes a bigger impact on a new year like the lunar new year. The massive once a year spring cleaning (when tempers fray and my father will hide somewhere where the screaming won't reach him), the last minute (really like on the DAY of the new year) shopping in chinatown, visiting waterloo temple in the wee morning of chinese new year (grabbing some vegetarian nosh after that) and the rather enjoyable visitings to our relatives. The drama during this period can really create enough content for a cny movie. hahaha or even better- Reality tv. It will i promise, be absolutely riveting.

This year (and even last year) there is a sense of aiyah i dun care le la feeling. The last exams, work and all the never ending chores in the new place (and since I'm not living in the old home now) has create that void in me- whatever will be will be. We will be flexible and play by ear. No time? Just hide the things somewhere for the time being hahahahah! My only regrets is that too bad we are a small family. If there were more people, it will be more boisterous and fun.

Okay, my inevitable new year resolution list. abit more comprehensive so that it will create more impact to me

1) LOSE 10 kg (min) -every month lose 1 kg. (i know anyone who reads this will start scoffing le. SMIRK AWAY!) Rabbit food here i come!

2) regain my sensitivity chip - where and when did i lose that?

3) concentration and focus - yah i know. stop floating along.

It's a short list but at least it is easy to attain right? HUAT AH!
