Star service at KFC

First, I don't know why but the 'date language' for my posts was set at Spanish (Bolivia). I'm sure it was set at English (United Kingdom) when I started. I've decided to change it to Italian (Italy) just for the fun of it.

Second, every other blog I read today (not that many) commented on the article in ST yesterday, 'Porn? No, blogs bug me more'. The journalist says he has come to the conclusion that blogs are worse than Internet porn!! There are people in the local blogging community who believe that the media has an 'agenda' against bloggers... (play scary music here...) ... conspiracy theories...

So many people have said so many things about that article, so I'm not going to focus on that for this post, though I was tempted to... Encountered star service at KFC at IMM today. I ordered a shrooms burger and was told I had to wait for 5 minutes or so for it. So I was standing there waiting for the burger and suddenly, the lady at the counter beckoned to me and gave me a free drink! Just for waiting. Then, when I collected the burger, another crew member offered to give me mashed potato for free! Just for waiting. Actually, I would have preferred fries, but that's beside the point.

It just shows that if companies want to offer 'good service', they can. It also shows that some companies are putting in the effort to up their service standards. And it shows that the ones putting in the effort are the ones that already have a history of good service. I'm afraid I don't agree with those managers, supervisors, sales staff, etc, who said that good service is a two-way thing. Sure, pleasant customers make life pleasant for service staff but I think the bottomline for the service industry is service. The onus is on the one providing the service to provide good service.

Yay, just discovered that SCV Channel 48 is showing A Taste of Love (Mei Wei Qing Yuan), starring one of my favourite TVB actresses, Flora Chan, and a couple of unfavourite actors, Lawrence Ng and Ken Ma. Love the theme song by Miriam Yeung, who also acts in it. Think it was a relatively low-cost production but it is good, wholesome entertainment.

True train school

‘Having eyes, but not seeing beauty; having ears, but not hearing music; having minds, but not perceiving truth; having hearts that are never moved and therefore never set on fire. These are the things to fear, said the headmaster.’ How would you like to have such a headmaster? I finally re-read (read it first as a teenager) Totto-chan, The Little Girl at the Window , a ‘school story’ by Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, translated by Dorothy Britton. Totto-chan is the name Tesuko Kuroyanagi called herself, and the book is about her life during her school days at Tomoe Gakuen. Totto-chan was expelled from her first elementary school because of her ‘disruptive’ behaviour, which included constantly opening and closing her desk top (because she was so thrilled by it), ‘vandalising’ her desk (because there wasn’t enough space on the piece of paper to draw) and standing by the classroom window waiting for street musicians to pass by or talking to swallows. Her mother, although probably alarmed about the ...

The Secret Romantic Guesthouse (2023)

The title has an airy, genial feel and the show does have its airy, genial side, but I also think of it as TRAPPED, since everyone was trapped by the past.   It was fun trying to figure out who was who, who was on whose side and how the awful king would fall.   The scholars It wasn’t too hard to guess that Kang San (Ryeo Un) is the deposed/missing prince and that he isn’t really gruff and disinterested although he’s exasperated and rolling his eyes most of the time.  Shi-yeol (Kang Hoon) has the best ‘disguise’, with the nice contrast between his highly-skilled fighting and loyalty versus his silliness.  It felt at times that Yoo-ha (Jung Gun-joo) was an extra but finally, he gets that one brave act of letting himself be captured to protect the rest.   Shi-yeol identifying himself to Kang San as his watchman was dramatic but the most shocking revelation in the show was that the Old Guy (Shi-yeol’s mentor) is the king’s watchman!  Ho...

Be Melodramatic! (2019)

An entertaining look at the media world, although the plot and acting (thankfully) weren’t melodramatic! There was some drama over relationships but overall, ‘good friends’ is the prevailing vibe and at the end, you almost want to shout  友谊万岁   (friendship forever). all their living room chats and meals; Eun-jung's brother's home garb and robes! There is also Eun-jung’s other friend, who is a gem, so for me, this show is mainly about friendship.   It is wonderful how everyone moves in because they are concerned for Eun-jung (Jeon Yeo-been). Her grief and healing are movingly portrayed, and Yeo-been’s acting and Eun-jung’s storyline eclipsed that of the main character.  Eun-jung is beautiful, smart and tragic.   heartbreak she gets along so well with her cameraman Han-joo (Han Ji-eun – Ae-wol !) is cute, smart and tragic.  They both work responsibly and seriously, treat others with respect and deserve the success and opportunities that come th...
