Marco's Pizza

one day, in a faraway land in IMU Bukit Jalil, there were some
8 cheerleaders, who had nothing to do after practice (we ARE in
selectives after all). so guess what.. we decided to go out and
eat! *big surprise*

haha.. initially suggestions were hawker centres, pizza hut, the
more we talked the further the destination became until we finally
decided on Marco's pizza! somemore hau chun said got discount if
got UOB credit card. so we were all excited whenn chun peng had
one!

off we (consists of me, liyeen, seyin, hauchun, chunpeng, steph,
jay and drick) went to tmn megah in search of the famous, & as u
read on, infamous Marco's pizza.

wonderfully enough when we arrived there, 2 parking lots await
us, right in front of the restaurant!! woo hoo.. thank God! we
entered, not bad.. nice decor and all. so we confirmed with the
cashier if the UOB promotion is valid and they said yes. so bla bla
bla. they took our orders.. n then!!!!! the waiter recommended
us to take the promotion **(buy 1 large pizza & get a side dish
for rm3) so of course we said yes right???!!!

so we ate.. n food was ok.. vongole a bit tooo clammish. carbonara
was pretty good. as for the pizzas.. i think i'd only give it a
65% (ngam ngam pass!!!)

and so the moment came, when it was time for us to leave
(because hauchun & hendrick were going out on a date! sounds
wrong -_-" but then they added that there were "chicks" going
along.. we gave them a really hard time on that.. hahaha.. so
u're saying we're not "chicks" la??!! :p) ok ok, so we called for
the bill la. then they didn't give us the 15%!!!! so we asked
laaaa.... n u know what they said?!!

"oh, u opted for the promotion** and then the UOB promotion
is N/A!" 8 of us.. "HUH??!!"
ok then.. recomposed ourselves.. and ask, oh then u change the
bill la to the original side dish price, and THEN u minus 15% from
there (more substantial)

u know what they said??? oh.. cannot. cos we print the bill dee..
cannot change! *bish*
8 of us.. "HUH??!! talk to your manager"

he came bck with the bill again and said.. "ok here's what we can
do, we split the bill into 2. we give u discount for the drinks & pasta.
the pizza cannot change" and they printed out 2 bills for us (I
THOUGHT THEY JUST SAID CANNOT CHANGE?? hypocrites)

so i stomped to the cashier.. bangs the table and demands
for my consumer's right (ok that was exaggerated)
i just asked, why didn't u tell us that so-called promotion
MEANS we can't get the 15% discount?! u know what the manager
said..?? (he should be FIRED immediately) ehh, other restaurants
also like that la, u cannot use a promotion with another discount..
it is written in the UOB book. (for crying out loud!! ur rm2.50
discount promotion wanna void me of getting 15% off our rm145
bill??!!) doesn't make sense right.. anyway, in the end, chun peng
said nvm, just pay la.

then i just muttered, nxt time please let your customers know..
i can't exactly remembered what he said but it wasn't pleasant so
on the way out i exclaimed at an audible voice (to the manager) i'm
NOT coming back here AGAIN! and wrote a complaint on their
feedback card.

so we left, and steph asked, so how much was it. u know that
manager!! so sneaky.. he charged us the initial amount!!! argh..
CHEAT! so we went bck in again, n he said.. oh oh it wasn't
intentional but it was written all over his face it WAS~!

ok soo.. to release our "geram-ness" we headed to play... haha..
CS!!! this time not so fun, cos got the other super "geng" ppl who
keeps changing maps AND keeps killing us.. hey, i couldn't even
move a step to pick up a gun & i died -_-" later we had our
own map so it got better hehe! we played till about 11. and jack
was abt to come join us when we left, too bad :P

wanted to go makan durians after that, but there was only one
pathetic stall at sri petaling which didn't really attract us. so
we headed home instead.

after all that's said and done. no more Marco's Pizza.. period.

p/s: KHOO HAU CHUN, u're suppose to take attendance laaaaa...

Of Darts, Pingpong, CS, and more Makan!

Tuesday after patho class, someone suggested.. "Hey, let's go play cs". Somehow the word CS just caught my ear and my hands started to itch again. (hahah, talking like some cs freak now.) Well, after a short while we went on with our own stuffs and christine and liyeen had group discussion, then wenhao called and said "wana play darts anot?". knowing darts and cs are my two newfound hobbies since selectives started (only 1hr class per day!), i couldnt resist. yea, we took the little time we had to sqeeuze in ONE round of darts, while waiting for them we said - wenhao, su chuen, me (deva & christine came just in time to join too!). mm... christine started last, but came in first! :D

While we played darts, some of them played pingpong the 'super trio show style' . where u hv to say sth (eg. apparel brands) everytime u hit the ball. haha, it's really interesting, i should try to pick up pingpong too... but i seriously sucked the last time i played it (secondary... 2?) hhehe.

Then there was a "to-go-cs-or-not" talk for a while..... cos jay had guy netball at 6! well in the end, we decided that just standing there thinking wouldnt get us anywhere, so in the end 6 of us went anyway-- chuen, li, wenhao, christine, deva & cyin(me).

It was fun!!! i joined the BAZOOKA team, and together with li & chuen... won over deva, christine & wenhao's team!! (and we wouldnt call it a last game until we won 100 times :p) hahaha, well, we did tipu abit by killing them while wenhao was teaching christine.. but i bet we still would've won either way :Þ

Of course, after using up all our energy in cs, we had to get some food (wat else).. we went to Steven's Corner at OUG. christine & i had maggi goreng(i also had roti canai), i think suchuen also had maggi goreng?, deva had some tose & garlic naan, liyeen had garlic naan, wenhao had tandoori chicken and few more stuffs. mm, the food were all good! well, one thing we noticed was that their limau ais and teh o ais limau tastes different, somehow :? Haha, i shall not remind u guys about waht the "plaaaap" sound on the table was, and how it missed by roti canai by just a few cms...

The Gobblers of Gobble Gazette proudly present to you our newest obsession..

COUNTERSTRIKE!!!!!!
Be afraid, be very afraid, because now not only do we eat like gilababis, but we shoot like them too. That's right. Mess with us and we will not hesitate to ransack your house (gobbling up anything remotely edible. Yes, that includes your kokokrunch.) AND shoot everything we see around us, Counterstrike style. You will never discover our true identities because we will be donned in hoods and shades, Counterstrike style. During our Counterstrike rampages, (which for your sake, I hope you will never have to experience) we will all be dressed as men (because there aren't any female characters in Counterstrike, duh.), making it almost impossible to distinguish between the sexes. I say almost because if you are lucky enough to survive our onslaught of gunfire, you will be able to hear high-pitched squeals of delight just before we stealthily leave your bullet-ridden place of residence, which will obciously come from the males. The photos you have seen of us in the previous posts were not really us. They were merely geeky medical students which we abducted and forced at gunpoint, Counterstrike style, to pose with happy smiles in order to conceal our true identities.
You are horribly mistaken if you think that eating has taken a backseat now that we've discovered this new hobby. Quite the contrary, our appetites have grown by leaps and bounds as running around with bazookas (which only liyeen and I have because we are part of the bazooka team) for hours on end causes us to work up an enormous appetite as you can only imagine.
For those of you who missed shooting practice today, the president herself would like to see you in person. Please prepare a written statement to explain your absence, and bring along a witness in case your written statement sucks. Do not take this lightly as the president is not an easy woman to please and she will not hesitate to blow you to smithereens if you come up with stupid excuses (eg.having lecture) for your absence. Don't forget, she owns a bazooka.

Post-Renal Makan

As you all know, M2/04 recently celebrated our new found freedom from exams/stress/crappy lectures/MM for PBLs etc. on the 7th of July. As most of the makan club members were busy with their own agendas (you traitors!! we took attendance so you have to write a formal letter to Ms. Pres explaning your absence! :p), the remainder of us (liyeen,seyin,jay,me,chunpeng) decided that we would still go and have the time of our lives despite being ditched and ended up in Kim Gary's MV with a whole bunch of our batchmates (too many to name!). Se Yin and I had cheese baked rice (Yum!). Li Yeen had some noodle thingy. Err...sorry Jay, I kinda forgot what you had! :) Poor Chun Peng had to wait ages for his food cuz they somehow didn't see his order. His food only came when everyone had finished eating. He has some spicy noodle thingy which was put in a bowl that looked exactly like a birdbath. Seriously....and he had to eat with a ladle. Weird.
The interesting event that occured during the makan was our topic of conversation. Jay presented a theory about what guys look at first when they see a girl. I think Jay should write a thesis about this....it would make headlines! Anyways, I shall not mention 'the thing' (or should I say things?!) that they look at cuz it would be totally unladylike of me....Ask Jay or CP if you wanna know. But all in all, the conversation was very enlightening and gave us 3 girls some insight on how shallow guys really are!! Hahaha jk jk. And it also gave us some tips on what to wear/do (dunno what word to use cuz it's complicated) if we wanna attract a guy's attention.
After dinner, we went to watch RV. It was hilarious!
For those of you who missed it....TOO BAD! :)

Untill we eat again....
