Strange greeting card and a "good" mistake

Next wednesday (15/10/2006) will be last day for one of my colleagues in this company. Well, it's normal for people to come and go in my company. This is because it is a big company after all. Anyways,here's a photo of the greeting card that is passed around for people to sign.
Yeah.. I know it looks pretty weird for a greeting card, looks more like a menu in a high class chinese restaurant.
The contents of the greeting card.


The spicy Ayam Goreng McD.

Some of you should be wondering is this "good" mistake about. I was on car pool with a colleague on friday. Short story first, one of my colleague who was supposed to "tapao" 3 McD(TM) McChicken regular for 4 of us in office (due to troubleshooting problem , it wasn't convenient to leave the office),
ended up "tapao"ed 2 box of Ayam Goreng McD instead because she mistaken our order.
But, it was a blessing in disguise. (what kind of crap am I talking about).Anyways, it was good because 1 of us (4 persons) assumed that this problem solving is gonna take a short time decided to skip dinner. Thank God for the wrong order, we had 4 pieces of Ayam Goreng McD to share around.

Need for Speed : Carbon!!

Finally my pre-order copy of Need for Speed : Carbon arrived at my office.Hoo yah!!
After paying for RM79 (that's Malaysia Ringgit , MYR) plus RM31 for shipping, I waited for like 1 week +.
Initially, I only paid for RM6 for the shipping because the shipping company informed the game company , they (shipping company) covered my area. However, on 1 November 2006 I got a called from the game company stating the intial shipping company don't cover my area and asked me whether to use POSLaju or other courier company. Finally, they found that DHL covered my area and I have to pay an extra RM25 for delivery charges and said it should take 2 days to arrive, which I thought was friday.
But, DHL proved me wrong. It arrived on 2nd November 2006 and I'm a proud owner of Need for Speed: Carbon Collector's Edition.

Note to self:
I'll ask the game company to check with CityLink and Nationwide next time when I make a purchase,since they cover my area .

Lesson of the day:
Sometimes, a company's good service quality can be degraded by others who are serving for them.

Anyway, here's a few photos of Need for Speed : Carbon Collector's Edition boxed set.

The box of Need for Speed: Carbon Collector's Edition.

The case of Need For Speed : Carbon Collector's Edition.

The DVD on the left is the BONUS Disc, containing the making of NFS:Carbon, and etc.The DVD on the right is of course the GAME Disc.

It also came with 2 pieces of leaflets, 1 contains the CD key for this game,another leaflet highlights about games that will be released by EA in the coming future.

Esquire Kitchen dinner & The Covenant

Haven't been to the movies for quite some time now. Well, the last time I went was actually like around September 2006. Anyways, I went watch the movie "The Covenant" with my college friend, and also my colleague. Saw the trailer , looks like a nice movie too. BUT, IT'S NOT. It's a LOOOOOONG winded show, which doesn't know what is it trying to tell its audience. My colleague just calls it "Harry Potter Adult version".
But at least there's a story in Harry Potter. This?!!.. I have no idea what is it trying to tell. I'm not going to spoil the movie for you (even though it sucks, that's my opinion though). But, try as hard as you can to avoid this money UNLESS you have free movie passes. Then , it's another story.

After movie, we were having a hard time to decide what to eat. The problem is.. TOO MANY CHOICES.. lol... Finally, we settled for Esquire Kitchen. That is one choice I don't regret. The food is quite nice, not very crowded (which means good service) and certainly good food.

We didn't order a lot, my friend ordered Shanghai Noodle. Myself and my colleague ordered Yong Chow fried rice (yeah. I know very uncreative to order the same thing, but we're hungry watt.. just eat anything lah). But , I still like the fried wantan side order.
Best best best!!!

Here's some photo of food we ordered. Sorries no Shanghai Noodle photo.

Fried Wantan, nice man.Very D tasty man from Esquire Kitchen 1U. Esquire Kitchen also provided a bowl of sauce for us to dip into it. Nice man. Must remember to order if you going to Esquire Kitchen 1U. (haven't try Esquire Kitchen MINES's fried wantan before).

Yong Chow Fried rice. Taste okay. The nice thing about it is it's quite filling. I like it also.
