Food display in a KL premiumly priced foodcourt

NWhat are your acceptable standards in a foodcourt located in a premium shopping mall?

Definitely no rats, scary insects or flying cockroaches. Clean tables and chairs from the outlook and hopefully not encrusted with cobwebs and bee hives where the sun don't shine or the cleaners don't wipe.

Chefs/Cooks wearing gloves and hair neatly tucked in their white hats and clean cutleries.

Yesterday, it hit me that all the above just plain hygiene requirements. Story below.

Queuing at the counter to make my order, my eyes wondered around at the colourful food presentations tucked in the showcase counter fridges. I'm lucky I didn't see a rat having it's lunch. But what I saw was worse as the rat wouldn't have chosen it for any meal if it knew. 

 

Ps. The fruits and peppers are fake.... I think. It looked faked to me. Something you can get from a novelty store kind.

Yummy Hummus looks so good with added herbs. NOT! Fur is growing on the food. It's turning feral. It's gonna grow legs soon and start walking. The platter too has a fur coat growing. It must be chilly in there. 

I am not sure if those green fur clumps are part of the serving. The tomatoes is heading back to nature and only the gherkins is proving it's worth. 

Food samples should be either moulded from plastic or made fresh and replaced before it turns to something else. 

Although the feral stuff is covered by cling wrap, doesn't this post as a health or hygiene threat? What about the ones not covered and exposed. 

No sort of servable or edible food should share a space in that fridge. Fungus and mold can cause many kinds of food poisoning and sickness. 

No wonder the Japanese spend so much time and effort and charge u a bomb for platic food replicas.

I am not sure if I will buy from this stall in future. But looking at the attention they give to their 'food models' I think not. Unless there is no other food left in this world, I hope the spinning kebabs are hot. 

Be yourself - without harming others please.

Why is it that work starts Monday and days off are Sat and Sun? ( for me ) If I have the chance to be my own boss one day, I hope I can make some changes to allow my employees a better perspective to what going to work is all about. Automating processes till 10am so that people can start work then and have time for breakfast and a healthy throne visit.

Whilst routine work and life is quite important sometimes, in the long run you end up living within a set parameter and become a dull person with hopes and fantasies of doing many other things and activities if you weren't at work. The sad thing is all of us are bound by our monthly paychecks and are afraid to tough it out for a better future. Who knows you might win and u might fail too right?! Scary.

About building someone's dreams by working for them, well, they too are giving you a chance to build your own dream by giving you a salary and a job for experience. But most times you'll end up with the money but without the opportunity as the train has long ago, left the station. You would be less inclined to start a new venture but nevertheless it is never too late to be a grandpa boomer.

Don't let what you have learnt or have been taught be the only guide in shaping who you are. It's is compelling to be yourself and follow your heart. We don't need to meet another me or I everywhere we go. 

Why it's important to living a fulfilling life? It's not so much about you when you are dead and gone. It's about the people you leave behind. Imagine if you lived a stressful and unhappy life, your next of kin would feel like they never did enough for you and regrets will fill up the whole mind bubble and someone else is gonna be depressed. This will just turn into a vicious cycle and everyone will be depressed until one day they are strong enough to decide that it's enough and a change is mandatory. 

If you hate your job, find a new one. If you despise your partner and there is no return, then don't return. If you are ill, go to the doctor! If you need to lose weight, go exercise. Learn from those who failed and follow those who are successful. Don't deny yourself from learning new things and be curious to take on new adventures. You have one life and don't waste it. 

Half boiled eggs - Gardens, Mid Valley

Not gonna name this place but this half boiled eggs look like 30% boiled eggs to me. Just give it to me raw instead next time. 

Trials of a mixed bag of sweets

To begin a new journey the people you surround yourself with are very crucial and important. They are the ones that will either walk with you thru your pain or just be there for the sake of being there. Either way someone there is better than no one there. 

Many will form their own presumptions of how you should feel and many assume what social norm is, and should be the way to go. I'm not a believer of just being normal. More so when in situations where emotions should be thrown out and your logical mind in. But some days emotions take the better of me. When you start to open up that is when you start getting hurt in different ways. Hurt can take many forms not only from pain or suffering. It can come from not being able to see yourself be like an ordinary person. 

The old wounds might have just remain a massive scar but the new wounds will continue to hurt and hurt even more when the wounds are so close to one another. But if you do not open up you will never allow yourself to feel like you are alive or the least to say to feel like there is hope in life. 

So far, wishes and hopes are just too hard to attain and remain a self portray of lies. When life is back to square one and you are at level zero, you have to face the same kind of experiences but at a different level. It's entirely up to you to intensify the happiness or even the pain. Nevertheless we all want to be happy. But happiness means nothing if you never felt sadness. There is no love if you have never felt abandonment. 

If you are that person helping someone walk thru fire, be committed to hold their hands till the very end. They have opened up to you and given their trust unto you. Do not let them down.
