Bad experience at mamak

I travelled by bus back to SP and reached there about 5am. Not wanted to wake my mum up early in the morning, I headed to P*l*t* Mamak which opens 24 hours.

2 hours to 7am, so I decided to work on my things which have piled up like mountain over the weeks. Unfortunately, the restaurant does not allow diners to use laptops; reason being laptops consume electricity. I offered them that I will pay as I consume, but the answer was still no. Well, I actually argued with them and other customers were watching the drama which was fast reaching the peak. Noticing something wasn’t right; one of the staffs then offered that I can use their power point to charge my laptop for 15 minutes. So I used my precious battery for work and used the remaining battery to write this blog. In return, I ordered teh ais, limau ais and roti canai bawang. I do not want them to make a lost with me ordering a glass of drinks and sitting there for 2 hours.

Let me make a fair comment on this, I do not blame them for not providing a WiFi or power point to the customers although many restaurants and cafĂ© are providing the service. But I think the restaurant should look at how their competitors react to the market trends. After all, my comments are for their business’s sake.

I hate it when you summon me!!!

I tried to save my precious 60 cents parking today at Section 17, but i ended up got summoned by MPPJ.

Since i only stopped for about 5 mins, i thought i can try my luck not to pay parking.
Afterall, my car was right in front of the shop.
But what the H3LL...the MPPJ officer was so fast, too fast for me to stop him.
Nevertheless, his handheld device has superb response time. With a single press, it printed my summon :(

Aih...paying the summon itself is not as scary as driving to PJ Oldtown to pay summon.
You know that place...you need miracle to find a parking spot and you can see MPPJ draculas everywhere sucking blood.

Sien la...i wish MY is like Barbados where parking is free and available everywhere.
