The incident at KFC

Have you ever found yourself hungry but don’t know what to eat? Well, I was in that exact situation last night. So, on my way home yesterday’s evening,too malas to think, I went straight to the nearest fast food outlet, KFC. It is the one and only fast food outlet in Donggongon Town. The business must have been good for the owner that he had it close down temporarily for a major renovation. Now the newly renovated KFC Donggongon has expanded to the 1st floor.

I was anticipating a crowded place since it was the end of the month where everybody should have their salary already…hehe. When I reached there, only one 2 of the 5 table at the ground floor was occupied. My friend I had a bad experience dining at the ground floor previously. We were forced to eat our food as quick as possible and in the same time trying hard to chase away the battalion of flies with our hands. As soon as you sat down with your food, the flies will launch their attack, buzzing-in on your food, face, hands, hair. They are everywhere; some are perched quietly on the glass wall waiting for an opportunity to taste the food. Ewgh!

The management does have an equipment that was supposes to ward-off the flies. I have no idea what it’s called but it looks something like an emergency lamp and makes a sound every time a fly get closer. But the thing was only installed at the kitchen while most of them were more interested in the dining area. And the funny thing was, before the renovation, the flies’ problem was almost non-existent. People were happy to dine at the ground floor. Don’t know what’s the problem but this newly renovated outlet seems to attract both customers and flies. I think the management should invest more on the equipment to combat the flies before they scare-off their customers.

Okay, so to avoid the flies, I headed to the 1st floor after grabbing a Snack Plate. Oh my, the staircase was so narrow that there is only space for one-way traffic. If somebody with a tray is heading upstairs then the other who’s coming down will have to stick his/herself at the wall or walk sideways like a crab….hehe. The staircase was also quite steep and it will only be a matter of time that somebody would fall, so I thought. Then, a few seconds later, somebody DID fall. Oh my God! Of all the people, the unluckiest person happened to be..jeng,jeng,jeng….none other than YOURS TRULY!!! CILAKA!!! $H*T!!! I was swearing, cursing endlessly in my heart for my carelessness.KURANG ASAM!!!

I must have thought that the second last step was the last step. When I realized there was another step, it was already too late. I tripped and landed on my knees but still keeping my grip on the food tray. Ya tu dia, Mama Mia terjatuh dengan bergaya sekali..hahahaha. Besides the drink, the food was still inside the tray…only that they had extra-flavouring from the spilled orange. Coleslaw + Mirinda orange, the taste is not that bad.…hehehe..

Lucky me, there were only a group of 4 teenagers dining there. Nobody I know was present.Phew. I heard the girls let out a small cry but that was it, they didn’t bother to get their cute little a$$ off their chairs. Not that I needed any assistance but yeah, if I was an old lady or a pregnant lady, will they bother to help? Forget about the boys (most probably their boyfriends), when I glanced at their table, they were busy indulging on their food as if nothing had happen.

One of the KFC crew was quick to get to my side but not quick enough. By the time he got near, I was already standing, picking up the empty paper cup. But instead of asking if I was okay or not,“Boleh ganti bah tu minuman, nanti sia ambil baru(I’ll get you another drink)"..Huh?!! I was dumfounded because I thought he was going to ask about my condition. I almost laughed at his remark. Blessed the kid, but seriously, after you fall in public, do you still bother about your food or drink? I don’t think so. Had I laugh then, he’d probably thought something was injured in my brain too…LOL.

Thankfully, except for the bruise on my left knee and my dignity, other parts of my body were okay. Nothing the Minyak Batu (Stone Oil) ointment can’t cure. This Chinese ointment really works you know. :) Apply and rub it on the bruise then it’ll stop the bruise from further swelling. Nonetheless, the bruise still hurts but I can walk normally, don’t worry. Looking back at it, I was more embarrassed over the incident than anything else. As I was typing this, I was grinning like an idiot because the incident was well, funny. *smile*
