Consumer Behaviour In Practice
This is ridiculous. Talk about quality control. Talk about customer satisfaction. I'm not a satisfied customer at the moment. So what does an unsatisfied customer do? Unfavourable word of mouth!!!!!!
This is what I get from KFC...
No it's not a piece of wicked wing
It's a piece of chicken which is smaller than my fucking dick!!!!
SAY NO TO KFC!!!!!!!!!!!!Bloody rip off!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Guilt
I was just reading Veron's, KH's and Jeannie's blog and I felt terrible. I felt like a shitty, craphead, lousy Malaysian. I used to be very patriotic. I used to condemn overseas grads for not returning to their beloved country and help the country in any way that they could. Little did I know that one day I would be one of them. One of those people who have forgotten their roots.
However, I shift the entire blame to the country itself. If your country does not treat you the way it's supposed to be, do you reckon you will be getting on the first flight home after you graduate? You will of course face a dilemma. The dilemma every graduate faces. Most will be evaluating the pros and cons. The pros of going home: FAMILY. COST OF LIVING. MAMAK. The cons of going home: DISCRIMINATION. NO HUMAN RIGHTS. LACK OF DEMOCRACY. LACK OF FREEDOM. INEFFICIENCY of public transport and government offices. RISK of being detained by ISA. And the list continues...
I'm not saying Melbourne is perfect. No, it's not! The aussies can be dickheads sometimes. You will definitely face some sort of racism. Shops here close at 6pm. Weather here is temperemental. The lifestyle here is at a slower pace. But...BUT at least I can go in front of the parliament building and hold a sign that says 'Remove KEVIN RUDD from the government or Say NO to KEVIN RUDD' and not face any risk of being detained and charged. That's the big difference between democracy in Malaysia and democracy in Australia. We as citizens of a democratic country should have the right to voice our opinion. The right to have equal rights among ourselves regardless of race, age and gender.
But I guess in Malaysia that will never happen. The country will forever belong to the Malays just like the name portrays it to be.

Tom Collins
Veron has inspired me to stop slacking and update my blog! I guess a blog is sort of like a personal diary except for the fact that it's not so personal after all as any Tom, Dick and Harry can read it.
Anyway some update on what's been happening since the new year. 2008 has been pretty good so far. Summer sem has started. My last subject before I can finally graduate! I aim to get my first H1 but no pressure. I just want the bloody 12.5 credit points.
I also started a bartending course 2 days ago and I already spilled 7 glasses of water last night. The tray somehow toppled off my hand. Next thing I know my shirt and jeans were drenched wet and the instructor giving me a look and pointing to a mop. How embarassing!
A few things I've learnt so far..
1. There are five types of white spirits and 5 types of dark spirit.
2. Vodka is made from potato skin. (Bet you didn't know..I know I was shocked)
3. 1 keg of beer can fill 175.4 pots of beer.
4. And I think Tom Collins is going to be my favourite cocktail although I haven't tried it but just because it sounds sweet.

Two Thousand And Eight!
2008
A year where most of us are starting our careers
A year where some of us have the toughest decisions to make
And hopefully a year where everything goes the way we want it to be!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
