Another Burger Outlet Joins the Fray…

Hello again…time for another update(lucky you…and me as well =P )
Yay-Yay!!! =D

Ever since I had been working part-time in 1 Utama…during break times,I would most probably wander around 1 Utama aimlessly(since I am practically there almost everyday till I know how many number of floor tiles are there in the shopping mall,lols)…looking at shops a.k.a. window-shopping,browse through magazines in bookstores,looking at leng-lui,etc…Oh and not forgetting…looking for food =) Which brings me/us to this post,haha =P Just like Harry Potter exploring Hogwarts…surely bound to find something new,exciting and interesting…?


Noticeable Burger joints located in 1 Utama

We are very familiar with this…McDonald’s

And also…

Burger King…another familiar face in the industry of fast food outlets

Now comes another newly opened outlet(just a few days ago prior to this post…can still even see those flower whatnots displayed at the entrance)…

New kid on the block…Carl’s Jr.

Thus begins a “Perang Tiga Segi”(Rough translation,Triangular War =_=” )…like Maxis,Digi and Celcom…or Manchester United,Arsenal and Liverpool,etc…football fans/jocks,please don’t get uproared,merely examples only,hehe…

Pamphlets being distributed…

Hmmm…Godzilla would surely be angry cuz Size DOES Matter!!! =_=”

Turned it over…a menu which listed the stuff being offered for your stomach’s needs

Dunno whether ya’ll can see it clearly or not(click on picture to enlarge)…but anyway,who wants to see a menu with words only…must have the guidance of pictures(One would wonder what the heck is Famous Star as listed in the menu…Honey Stars in a Burger bun?!! =_=” ) So just drop by here at Carl’s Jr. to see for yourselves(it’s nearby T.G.I. Fridays…which is also nearby Burger King,ada competition ni…hehe)

Being curious(and hungry as well =P ),I went in to try-try this place…

A shot of the interior…though the place seems kinda small

Adopting the style of Burger King…drinks dispenser with free flow of drinks

But this has Channel Islands Roasting Company Coffee(I am no coffee expert,don’t ask,lols)…free flow some more and others as well(refer to the menu to have a rough idea)

A Combo Meal comes with drink and fries(which can be changed,once again,refer to the menu)…not forgetting the Burger as well,hehe…

One thing is for sure…the Burgers here are quite pricey(Heh…and I/you thought Burger King was expensive?!!) Prices range from as low as RM7.95 to as high as RM21.45!!!(Seriously…for a Burger alone!!! >_< ) RM21.45 Burger(Can’t remember what it’s called,hehe) sure is something to be boasted about,might try it someday to find out? Lols…all prices are excluding government tax…

Ok-ok…enough of the financial side of the story…

I ordered a Western Bacon Cheeseburger(not a Double Western Bacon Cheeseburger as shown on the wrapper of the above picture cuz I unwrapped it and rewrapped it again =_=” more $$$ to “Double” it ler) It has beef patty,cheese,onion rings and BACON!!! Sure or not? Bacon wor…tak Halal ni,contradicts as stated by the menu(not that I cared if I “accidentally” consumed any non-Halal food,lols…) Aiyah…it’s CHICKEN BACON(spoiler =P ) only ler…chill-chill =_=” Wow,now that’s quite a number of times the word Bacon had been used,lols…

Size is about roughly like Burger King(Note: Size of Burger may vary as shown in the picture =P )…time to know how the Burger tastes like…

…and the verdict…I am totally awed(cuz I was hungry as well? Lols) The sauce with the juicy bite of the Burger made it taste good(might be even better if it was REAL BACON,lols =P ) Since I just wanna try-try…I wont be coming back here for quite some time,quite mahal for me,sort of like a high class version of Burger King,lols…

Can visit their website too…www.carlsjr.com

Well…if you’re dying to eat Burgers…there’s a cheaper alternative…

In the spirit of Malaysia Boleh…a Ramly Burger stall can be found at roadsides/pasar malams near your local housing area…Do share any comments on the best ever Ramly Burger stall you had or your most favourite one,hehe…come to think of it,I haven’t had one in ages…


This wraps up another post…Oh and one last thing…

As noticed by Eddie while he was in 1 Utama

La SENZA(no need to tell you what shop it is…see the picture also know already =P ) is just beside the restaurant which I worked part-time in(refer to previous post)…no wonder the restaurant isn’t noticeable and not much customer either…kena “overshadowed”(lols…joking of course =P ) Men will look and women will look&buy…RM35!!! Cheap or not? =_=”

Part-time working…again…

Aha!!! Finally when you load this page…got update!!! Lols…well,nothing much happened recently…part-time working mar…not to say that I am very busy but also,nothing that I feel like blogging about as well…in times such as these,I must use my creativity+lameness to “entertain” my dear fellow readers…

I don’t really like to blog about work…but in this case,let’s make an exception shall we? =P So here goes…


It was still early for business to start…so I just curi-curi took out my cameraphone and snap some pictures…

This is part of the interior…by a mere glance,you will know where I am working part time in…assuming that you had been to this place before ler…hehe

For those who don’t wish to waste time guessing…the answer lies in the following picture…

A western themed restaurant…Jacks Place…in 1 Utama(There is another branch in Sunway Pyramid,though...the franchise is from Singapore)

To travel to work…I had to rely on the public bus…again…not to say that I cant drive there,but think of the payment for petrol,parking and toll(yes,in order to go to 1 Utama from my place,had to pass through toll…to&fro,RM1.60 x 2!!! As of now,in the future may increase >=I )…definitely not beneficial from an economical point of view…

Although I really despise public transport(particularly buses = waiting = time wastage)…by using it everday(nowadays),I am also eligible to win $$$...some sort of lucky draw to lure kiasu people to use the RapidKL bus service…

A ticket only costs RM2.00(for the bus that I take) and can be used again within the same day(to&fro journey for me…plus it passes through the toll!!!)

So as a wise decision…take the bus lor…can be a potential 1st Prize Winner some more(RM8888!!! 2nd&3rd prize isn’t so bad either…since it’s free money!!!)…although the probability is kinda low…considering how many other people use RapidKL bus…lols…but you’ll never know…you’ll never know,hehe…Surely belanja kau-kau others…provided I win lah,hahaha =D

Anyways…I better not get my hopes to high…ehem-ehem…back to the main story of this post…

My name is…Wait Staff 1,like giving football jersey numbers only =_=” The other staff call me…JimmyJimmy Ooi…(you know lah,Chinese names…How could Chi Ming turned into Jimmy?!! Surname also wrong…missing letter H in the front =_=” thank goodness paycheck isn’t paid by cheque…or else I’ll definitely go demand/extort/rob the real Jimmy Ooi somewhere out there for my hard earned money,imagine me demanding,“Give me RMXXX and XX sen!!!” instead of “Give me all your money!!!”…no offense to the real Jimmy Ooi,ya? Lols =P )

Here’s a computerised “key-in” order screen on one of the 2 computers(no-no,cannot play computer games here like Diner Dash =_=” )…the waiter/waitress would take note of the customer’s orders and input em’ here…

So far as of now,I am not allowed to take orders yet…say if keyed in wrongly,then got mistakes or extra orders,how? Potong gaji?!! We’re talking about steaks and lobsters here…not fried rice or noodles(as a matter of fact,the DO serve those…please,oh please don’t come here just to eat those…better go Food Court or something…) Hmmm…those colour-blinded people a bit susah to key in orders,no? =_=”

This is where all those soft drinks you ordered come out from…like pumping petrol only =_=” No refills though…

Staff are allowed to drink too…unlimited some more!!!(Think Burger King…lols)…so if anyone comes here to dine(who I know of) and want refills,look for Wait Staff 1,lols(keep it hush-hush,ok? =P )…provided the place is not TOO busy lah or else sorry lah,wont be able to layan you…haha

When working in a restaurant…your makan schedule is screwed up a bit…the time when customers makan,is the time that you are doing your job =_=”

Oh and if you are lucky(most likely),meals are provided…cant complain much since it’s free though…but somedays,our meals aren’t that bad either(the picture that I took is on one of the “not so good meal” day)…somedays though…

Compared to the food that the customer’s are eating…feel kinda sad lah =P Likewise customer’s cannot eat the “special food” for the staff,jealous rite? =_=”

Here’s a preview of the food…by having a look at the menu…sorry lah,cannot take a picture of the food…customers wouldn’t want me to…“Wait arr…wait arr…don’t eat first…let me take a picture first…*Ci-Cak*(camera shutter sound)…Ok…now you can eat…Wah,looks quite delicious…can I try some? Eh,why cannot? For your safety,I better taste the food first…what if got poison inside? I am concerned about your life,leh” =_=”

This restaurant is famous for its steak(price ranges from RM30 to RM42,for ala’ carte)…there’s also a daily lunch set(changes everday),from 11am to 2.30pm…each day is either a fish/chicken set(roughly RM14) or steak set(roughly RM18)…included together with the main course are complimentary garlic bread,soup of the day,dessert of the day(pudding,jelly or ice cream) and a choice of coffee or tea…Don’t understand what the heck I just said? Then just drop by here and find out…lols =P
Note: Promotion and prices are subject to change at this time of post =P

Well…if you come to Cheese’s Place…got set lunch too…creamed bread(not complimentary though =P ),soup of the day(Campbell’s!!!),main course(San Remo Pasta+crabsticks+deep fried fishball+Pringles?!!),dessert(MARS chocolate bar!!!) and coffee(Kopiko!!!)…for only RM8 only!!! And no need to pay for government tax and service charge…D.I.Y.(Do-it-Yourself) only =P
*Estimated price only =P

Set doesn’t include any drinks…be adventurous and try

A concoction of Condensed Milk and Ice Cream Soda!!! Caution,not for the sweetened-hearted(supposedly to be fainted-hearted) cuz I tried it,full tablespoon of condensed milk some more and also don’t drink it every single day unless you wanna get diabetes or high sugar level in your blood…
Idea came from Kenny Sia’s blog,click here for the direct link to the corresponding post…curiosity gets the best out of me =_=”

Hire a model very expensive leh…so better do it yourself…

Working attire… =_=”

Can also become Iron Chef?!!

But do a better pose lah(don’t do Statue of Liberty pose like above?)…if the opponent sees you,surely laugh till die wan…then can win? =_=”


Ok…I have displayed enough of my stupidity in this post…hehe…will update again if I feel like doing so…in other words either “interesting” events or a lame post such as this to make you entertained or just more random posts…Bai-Bai for now!!!

Ah yes…I have finally watched Harry Potter(s) today(off-day)…

But still haven’t watched the latest one though,Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix…neither had I read any of the books(wouldn’t think of buying any…borrow can? =P ) Speaking of which,I haven’t been doing any “proper reading” for a long-long time…unless you count newspapers,magazines,blogs and also lecture notes(this one only applicable when studies commences and especially near exam)? =_=”

Event Job: MIGP 2007…Completed

Yupz…as the title of the post says it all…the particular event job that I worked for 3 days,had come to an end…which in a way,means that an update of the event would be posted up on this blog =_=”

Anyways,the workload isn’t that tiring to me…maybe I am used to it? But,the tiring part is the journey to and fro…that is,by means of public transport…no choice leh,hehe…


This is a typical scene in a KTM…as the madding crowd rushed for their daily routine,in the morning…


A sign that mocks the passengers…


Now this is also a typical scene in the morning…but in a LRT instead…

Noticed the similarities? =_=”

From above…KFC’s Colonel Sanders just had to smirk upon the passengers


Depressing moments aside…upon reaching KLCC,it’s time to get our engines up and running for the day…the whole crew were divided into 2 teams(8 person per team)…and each team had their own registration counter to attend to…

Now,within each team…3 will be doing registration on laptops…1 will be in charge of selling directory booklets…1 will be doing “crowd control”(think of it like a traffic police during a massive traffic jam =P ) and the remaining 3(which includes me) will be as “back-ups”…What do they(we) do? Well…packing goodie bags,substituting fellow comrades(when break time,toilet break,applying make-up break,when fingers get cramped,when someone’s tangan or kaki patah,etc… =_=” you’ll get the idea of what I am trying to say,in an over exaggerated manner)…and errrr…prepare coffee or tea? Massage treatment for tired personnel? “Ta-pau” Char Koay Teow all the way from Penang? Etc…nonsensical stuff being proposed randomly =_=”

Sorry…don’t really have much pictures to show our working groove…too hardworking,geh? =P And also the exhibition in the convention centre wasn’t covered much…it’s all a matter of company policy…so just use your imagination to figure things out…hehe

At the end of the day…can fool around a bit,so here’s my side of the team…

Introducing…MIGP 2007 Registration Counter 5 Team!!! Lols…
From Left to Right,
BACK: Huey Ling,Yuen Ching,Joycelyn,ME
FRONT: Ying Sing,Joanne,Sin Yi,Kang Jie
(YES!!! Hopefully I managed to get everyone’s name right…should be correct,hehe or else surely kena tembak =P )

And here’s the whole(almost all ler) motley crew!!!

Know or recognised anyone? Picture very blur…should blame the camera or the person taking the picture? =P (Compliments goes to Huey Ling for the 2 pictures and others as well,which I didn’t post em’ up)

After a long 3 day’s worth of work…we get…

Some of the items in the goodie bag that was distributed to all(well,not entirely all =P ) the kiasu people who had nothing to do with the event itself…or maybe,let’s just say that they could be “potential customers” one fine day =_=” Water bottle,giant paper clip,mousepad+lightbulb balloon,cooler bag,cap,doortag…can keep the T-shirt and “dog tag” as well…all these are worth as much(or better) than a couple of McDonald’s Happy Meal,leh =P

Most importantly…this as well…

WAHAHAHAHA!!! $_$


Overall,it was fun and a good experience…met more people,make friends(banyak girls ^_^ )…at least earn some cash instead of rotting at home…etc…bagus-bagus…do contact me again for opportunities such as these in the future

So what to do now? Continue rotting at home? Not really…part-time job started already…hehe…will be working till end of August…provided I don’t offend someone/accidentally or deliberately burn down the place/killed somebody/etc…and got fired or something…it’s in 1 Utama…no-no,not the same place that I previously worked in last time(Mwahahahaha…betrayer!!! >=P )…but it’s the same type of job lah(some of you may know where cuz I already told ya)…

Possible updates coming up? Depends on circumstances…for now,it’s time to bid farewell!!! Take care everyonezzzz =)
