RT: Wah! Have you heard the news yet?

GC: What news?

RT: Uncle Low, a boss from another department challenge our company CEO to ask our security officer to "Jalan Jalan" ah!

GC: Jalan?

RT: Yah.. You don't know what Jalan means meh? It means bye in Malay...

GC: Oh yes yes... And if add a Selamat in front, it means Good Bye... But anyway, what happen?

RT: Oh... Uncle Low's staff caught a thief who was sneaking into our building... Then, they handed them over to the security department... Then this security officer thought that they should educate this thief to bring him onto the right path... So they sort of gave him some lesson while waiting for the police to come.

GC: Wah... You security officers are all social worker also ah?

RT: How I know? Anyway, while trying to guide this thief onto the right path AND waiting for the police to come, this thief mother cry and beg to see her son... So they arranged a room for the mother to see her son

GC: Then then?

RT: Then this thief say ok, you want me to see my mum, can. But let me go toilet first. I need 7 rolls of toilet paper also...

GC: Ha Ha Ha... That's a special request... So how? Did that officer give?

RT: He gave lah... Then they brought the thief to the toilet with good ventilation. And they also thought that they should give this thief some privacy while shitting. So they waited outside...

GC: Wah... That's one hell of a security officer leh...

RT: Human rights dude... Anyway... They waited for 4 hours... Then the thief still never come out... So they went in and saw that the thief had ran off! From the window inside the toilet!

GC: Oh, it took them 4 hours to realize that? He just climbed out of the window?

RT: Yah... And he used the 7 rolls of toilet paper to act as cushion for him to land onto the ground outside...

GC: Hahaha! Why he need the cushion for? Thought your office wall very low?

RT: How I know? That's what the report say...

GC: Now I see... That's why Uncle Low wants the security officer to resign lah? No wonder...

RT: Yah... But my CEO think otherwise leh... He feels that we shouldn't judge the capability of a person by just one incident... And forgot about the good things that he had done for the company...

GC: But wait... That's how the corporate world is mah. And beside, I heard that your security officers are paid higher than the security officers from other companies right?

RT: Yah... Because they are capable people...

GC: Oh... You mean capable of letting a thief run away?

RT: No lah... But as what my CEO said, we shouldn't let one incident affect the contributions they had done for the company.

GC: Oh... So your CEO is paying them so high, so much money so as to allow them to make more mistakes? Then under what circumstances would they be asked to leave?

RT: How I know?

GC: Hahaha! So your company really Selamat Jalan to the thief!

Dasmond Koh in Bangkok?

Haha! I thought I saw Dasmond Koh in Bangkok! As a samurai! See what I mean from the picture below...


Anyway, because of this poster and for the fact that we were craving for Japanese food, we decided to give it a shot. The experience? Not bad at all! You guys should try too! We ordered several dishes... Sashimi, Tempura, Unagi Rice and of course, beer. I've forgotten what is the dish below though. Anybody any idea?

The soup is really really nice, and I like the way they kept it warm. I mean soup... One of the most important factor is if it's warm enough right? The soup base... You can drink it without the meat at all... The ingredients is sufficient and it is not too sweet or salty... I'm sure you have experienced where the soup base is really solid but after finishing the soup, you feel thirsty and all right? Not for this... To me, this had been the highlight for the restaurant... I suppose that's the reason why they named it as their signature dish..

As for the Sashimi and Tempura... Hmmm...I feel it's generally better than the ones you will get from Sake Sushi or Genki Sushi... But still not perfect... If you have the chance to go to Fuji Restaurant in Siam Center, you'll know what I mean...

The Unagi Rice... Not bad... But I don't know why they chopped up the Unagi though. I though you will enjoy the full Unagi taste if the fish is in one single piece. On the whole, not bad considering the price and the amount of food we ordered... I think for all these plus some beer, the bill came out to less than 50 bucks; which is what you won't find in Singapore...

It's fine that I got fined

RT: Wah ho say lah! My IT department appeal ganna rejected by our CTO!

GC: Oh? What happen? What appeal?

RT: You don't know? Cuz they were suppose to support network connection throughout the company even during peak hour mah... then they screwed up...

GC: I reckon that... Since communicating during peak hour is so important... People need to work you know? So what happen?

RT: So the freaking network was down for like...7 hours... and that day... because we need to communicate with the outside world also... then in the end, I have to use my own 3G and GPRS connection to work loh... Some bopian was late to send report to their customer and ended up taking taxi to send the hard copy to them...

GC: WHAT!?!?!? So you're paying for their mistake? I mean can claim right?

RT: Wait wait wait... Let me finish my story first... our CTO was very pissed... so he fined the department for the disruption it had caused to the network service...

GC: Fined? But how much was the fine?

RT: Not too sure leh... Close to 400k plus ah...

GC: Wow! Then can you guys claim for the taxi fare and the bills that you have chalked up from your own internet connection... since it's their mistake...

RT: Eh... I'm not too sure wo... Think can lah... But you need to go to the IT service centres to do the claim I think...

GC: Hmmm. But very strange leh... So where did the money go to? I mean the fine which your CTO had summoned.

RT: Eh... I don't know

GC: WHAT? Shouldn't the money go to your guys? Who are the actual ones that got affected because of the messed up service they're providing?

RT: Yah hor... I don't know leh...

GC: But where the hell your IT department is going to get those money? Since they also need to be accountable to the profit for the company... Does that mean they will increase the prices to the general public like me? Who subscribe to their IT services?!

RT: Maybe leh...

GC: What is this? We're just paying for their mistake...
