McDonald

Woke up in the middle of a warm Monday afternoon, suppose it is just another Monday, I should've buried in the office, under the endless paper work... I wished there is a McDonald nearby...

When young, we are talkin abt childhood time... There were only a handful of stuffs can get me excited with... toys, cartoons, ice-cream, McDonald... NOT holiday, coz' holiday always comes with lots of homework... I think I hated holiday after exam.


Come to think of the items in the list... I think almost only left with McDonald which have not change much over time... will it ever change in the future? well, maybe... probably will, but I don't know how.


Though this burger restaurant sell a limited list of items at all the branches over the globe, I am never too surprise to see different scene of the restaurants from countries I have been to...


In Aust, it is a place to go when u figured the resource in your pocket is really scarce, and u still wish to eat out instead of butter and jam at home... go McDonald.


In S'pore, the busiest time of the year, when the patrons almost need to dog fight each other for a decent spot in the restaurant, the favorite venue for the students from all grades to prepare for their exam instead of library... go McDonald.


In Europe I heard, the continent on earth where you find human nature is such a 'burden'... especially you have to pay dearly for your meals 'aftermath'... you will appreciate it's 'social responsibility' when you found yourself have to pay a couple of Euro dollar for toilet... For nature call... go McDonald.


In M'sia, probably the only place on earth you can spend more than an average for a meal and wondering why you choose to buy ur burger there instead of the road-side stall... go McDonald?


McDonald seems to provide more than just a place you buy ur meals (let's not be skeptical about it's unhealthy issue etc), it provides more 'value' than 'just food'...


Recently, as we hve got more warm days than ever, I simply love to go McDonald for it's free aircon... Hey, is that another 'social benefit' McDonald provides?


Oh, did I mentioned McDonald provide internet connection too? Long life Ronald, another reason to go McDonald... write a blog about it.

May Day...

May Day... who doesn't know this day? Guess most of us will at least know this day if not loving it and look forward to it on annual basis, it is a holiday after all.

I too remember from the movies or drama I saw... "May Day! May Day! Over!!..." that's almost a typical cockpit scene we will get to see where the pilot yellin to the 'talkie' as airplane or flying jet is in critical condition; bottomline, crashing...

It short, it simply something we human developed to yell when it comes to disaster, and we in need of help from either god or someone else.

So, for this year... just a few days after the entire world took their turn to have this wonderful 'holiday', disaster really striked one after another, first Myammar, then followed by China... a 'memorable' month to remember.

Not goin to comment much about the disasters, however, it is simply amazing to see how some leaders can demostrate to the entire world the kind of barbarian attitude, headstrong and ignorant towards the aids, forgoin 'his fellow countrymen' welfare, even life; while some others demostrate efficiency and what a true leader suppose to do during crisis.

Just like the tsunami @ Indian Ocean abt 4 yrs ago, the hurricane in US not too long after that... we saw the grief after the disaster, the aids and compassion from all over the globe... some people claimed it is the 'retribution' we human get for what we have done to the earth which supported us over generations, whist some expert said it is simply 'inevitable' that the disaster happened, it is ourselves that is to be blamed, caused we were not prepared... sounded like that's the path how the dinoseur walked into extinction and Jurassic ended. Regardless what is it, it touched me to see all the people comes around to help each other during the time like this... whether it'll lead to our extinction or not.

Afterall... time flies, and people will move on, the event will certainly change the perspective of those who survive and those who family or friends who were the victim of it... Deep down, we all know this is not the first, certainly not the end of it...

The day has settled down, and I am sitting alone quietly in my room, recalling what I heard and saw during the day... How do we save the world? Or do we save ourselves?
