I’ll Be Hiding Behind My Desk (4-awhile)

Posted on by

HI EVERYBODY!


Just to let all of you know that my blog will be temporary shut tight.
Just for a few months until I get my bearings right.
This time, work has taken its toll on me.
This time I’m waving the white flag, you see.


But I don’t think I’ll leave my poor blog to rest,
You’ll never know what’s coming I couldn’t guess
Mom keeps telling me God is giving me a test,
She said, ‘We are the KWOKs’ we do all our best!’


There’s too much work too little time to play,
There’s too much stress not wanting to go away,
New work, new levels, new strategies,
New is the now, old are enemies.


More to think about each and everyday
More deceiving people with hearts of clay
Less time to ponder the dreams I have
No one to tell, pretending to be deaf


Stuck in between which has always been
Stuck in the middle, need a shoulder to lean
Hoping for miracles to come along
Gotta take a stand, gotta feel belonged


Missing what I love to do is far beyond
Sometimes I wish everything would begone
What’s there to wish if there’s no hope
So just move along, just gotta cope


Every end born a new beginning
Every path I take is worth considering
I might fall but will never fail
Because I know I’ve tried, I never bail


Love overcomes all things impossible
Love deceives all that are vulnerable
Love is around when you are dependable
Love is real if you are capable

Yummy Mummy is moving… MOVED already!

Posted on by

Hey guys.. Yummy Mummy is finally getting its own domain and space. I know it’s not been long since I started blogging but I think I’ve grown a lot (matured not fat) so, therefore I must move on.

www.elena-bloggingtheblog.blogspot.com

Now it’s only… www.elenajake.com

Yes.. I know my previous web address was kinda like a tongue twister. Who names and spells it this way anyway? ELENA that is! Maybe I should rename my blog from Yummy Mummy Blogging the Blog to YMBB. Ö

Don’t panic if my blog theme is pink in the morning, green at noon or black by night because currently, it’s still in the midst of refurbishment. Need a few more fixtures just like having a new home needing some furniture. I’ve always wanted to this a long time ago (last year actually) but never have the guts to import my posts to a new space (what if it went haywire?) but.. yes there’s the BIG BUT. THANKFULLY, I’ve got some help from tech-wise people like William and Demsi to do innovation work on my blog .

Wait… is my blog a guinea pig? Haha… only kidding. Hopefully I’ll catch up with the new layout and editorial stuff so I can start blogging again. In the meantime, watch this space. If you want updates on my new blog, please email me at;

e.l.e.n.a._.j.a.k.e.@nospam.hotmail.com (remove all the fullstop and the nospam)

I’ll mail you once my page is up and alive but don’t worry I won’t send you junk-mails, probably quirky ones instead. Hope to hear from you and I hope you’ll hear from me soon.

Mc-Bias

Posted on by

Yesterday WE (we consists of Me, my sis, Joe, Judith and Javier) went to Jaya Jusco, Balakong for dinner. We decided to go for McD’s since it’ll be a quickie dinner and we don’t have much time to spare before the kids’ bedtime.

So, the kids took their places at the boxseats while sis and I went and queue. Quite a queue since only one counter was open (cut down on cost?). Don’t know where did all the crew went but I only saw 2 in the kitchen and one assembling orders. When it’s our turn, we proceed to order. Here’s what we ordered:
  • Large Value Meal McChicken without vege
  • Large Value Meal Chicken McDeluxe
  • Chicken McDeluxe ala carte’
  • 6pcs Chicken McNuggets ala carte’
To minimize the queue line, we moved to the side where a crew member proceed to place our tray with our orders. Came the McChicken, the drinks, the fries and one of the Chicken McDeluxe. However, the 6pcs nuggets went to the tray after us. You know what I mean? We were here first, we ordered and paid but the order goes to this ‘wanita’. It’s like HELLO? I can see my 6pcs nuggets there in someone’s tray. We were definitely putting on faces. Come on la.. isn’t it better to reduce the queue flow by filling our trays first? The lady who got the nuggets even left the counter before us. We were told to sit down and the nuggets and the remaining burger will be sent later. 
Next thing we know, the table beside us who came after us, got 2 Chicken McDeluxes’. Whoa.. sis went to the counter and was told to sit down. I went to the counter and they ignored me. I know the crew member who was assembling the orders was quite ‘bengang’ of us because we kept on requesting on our orders. We were also ‘bengang’ ok? From where I sit, there’s a mirror in front of me that let me watch the going ons at the counter. I know you’re busy telling your colleagues what a pain in the butt we were but there’s no excuse in mixing orders of customers. First come first serve. Comment forms ‘pun takde’. No manager was around too that’s for sure. The crew members were like ‘selamba aje’. Haihz so disappointing. 
First was the McDelivery problem, now this one….
