Hello - Lionel Richie

Sometimes, I just think that, how lovely this song can be, and how, it can suit my, feelings...

I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you're looking for?

I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted, and my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, I love you ...

I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again how much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello, I've just got to let you know

'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying, I love you ...

长情，还是笨？

今天，是我没看到妳，的第155天了。天啊！若要看到妳，都恐怕得等到九月开学的时候吧....

这一百五十五天，还真不容易过。有些天，摆满了活动，想妳，都只是在一起身的那一刻，和还没入眠的那一刻。

但大多数的天，一无所事事，很自然的，妳就会自然的出现在我脑海里。而且是一直不断地在那儿徘徊着。所以我得承认。想妳，还真的很幸苦！

但幸苦到来，我会觉得很高兴。不是在暗爽（LOL!)。而是，能够真正地喜欢一个人，不简单。能够无条件，无要求地慢慢地等。我既然做到。所以，觉得自己，很有成就感一下leh!

我也不知道，在等什么。等妳say yes，还是等机会来临，还是等这份感情淡掉。那我当然希望的是机会的到来吧～！

未来是如何，谁都不请。但能够为未来筹备，那再也好不过了。我，已把我接下来的两年时间，赌在妳身上了，小姐。

天啊！我怎么，那么长情（笨）啊？

Of You

I just want you to know that,

Love makes even a guy like me lachrymose

Obsession when it comes, in its max and most

Vacant it is not, this heart of mine

Ever longing and waiting for you to find.

You’d probably don’t know how strong it feels

Only to have you in my mind, for real

Upon the wake to my day, till the dreams of my night.

The dreams of you can’t be sweeter

Even if it’s about me and you together

Only making it real would it matter,

Holding back on it, would bring my heart to tatters.

How to let go the reason of them all

Understand that, you're what I will give my all

It is you who will shape me; either I stand or fall.

Just a small crush I say, would be lying

In my heart I know, you’re my everything

Ubiquitous you are, in my heart and mind

No “you” in my life, will make me a blind…

Reasons Why McDonalds beat KFC - A noob's point of view

Okay, to clear things up, I would say I probably got "infected" or "converted" after working at Macfood. Even previously, if I were to choose, I would have chosen KFC. I didn't knew what the fuss was about with people going gaga over McD.

But as I have delved deeper into understanding the way McD runs it's business, you can't help but to be amazed on what McDonald's have achieved all this year. I'm no professional analysis, but here are a few points that I have highlighted out as personal experiences, that justify why, the restaurant with the Golden M, reigns supreme.

First and foremost, good business and marketing strategy. McDonald's is the first one to come up with McValue lunch. Selling at a price almost half than the usual, this move almost triple the turnover if I'm not mistaken. Then you have other fast food chain also following in. You can't deny that McDonald's actually have the guts to take the risk by becoming the pioneers of offering cheap and fast lunch.

Secondly, catering the people's choice and taste. It is undeniable that there are more McD fans than KFC fans. Reason? There are actually more KFC outlets in Malaysia than McDonald's. To be precise, KFC owns almost twice the amount of outlets than McDonalds (445 versus 220). And yet, you have McDonald's scooping up the best restaurant 2nd time in the row this year (2011) and with a higher turnover than KFC. Amazing? McDonald's surely owe we people a lot!

Thirdly, doing what they are best at - fast food! McD are known to serve their customers fast and efficiently. The most you need to wait during normal time would be around 3 minutes. Every food is sorted and compartmentalized so that it eases the waiters. Fact that most people don't know: the Mcdonald's kitchen is carefully measured and engineered to ensure the least movement around the speed up human capabilities. I don't know about KFC, but if I were to think back, I think that I've waited a lot more longer at KFC's

Forth, smart and planned service. Notice that whenever your McD's order is taken, you are needed to wait beside the counter to allow the person behind you to take his or her order. By that time you're waiting, you have already paid for your food. Unlike KFC, after taking your order, the cashier would be the one personally serving the food, dealing with one customer at a time rather than multi-tasking compared to McDonald's. Customers are thus more prone to be impatient. I don't know whether KFC have adopted this same approach like McDonald's since it was quite a while I have been to KFC. But if they haven't consider this as another point added to McD.

Fifth, but not last, serving what you put on your menu. Never have I ordered something and being told that there is no stock at McD. And neither did I have to be told that you need to wait for half an hour. Yes. I am directing this "accuse" to KFC, especially the breakfast. Till now, I never have the chance to really have KFC's morning breakfast. Everytime I go in and ask I would get the same response. Either there is no stock, or I'll have to wait for half an hour. LMAO! Half an hour? I could have finish eating mee jawa or nasi lemak by that time! Not that I don't make an initiative, but the thing is when you make one, you are not even given the choice.

Note that this post was done without much analysis and more to personal experiences. I might be biased, but hey ask yourself. When do you actually see an offer or promotion that you need to open your eyes bigger and can't believe what is offered? And for those who are always on facebook, tell me when, have you actually see KFC's promotion being supported like mad?

Food for thought...

*This post is not meant to dis-honour any fast food restaurants. This is only the preference and experience of a food lover, who may be biased. Hopefully the words and terms I use are not of offensive and degrading. KFC is good, but you're just not that good compared to McD. Sorry...
