Organic Samm

Much as i hate Facebook, i must say that it does somehow, provide me with lots of entertainment 24/7. Which, by the way, is far better than Astro since i dont have pay subscription fee. And today’s most interesting event happened to be sponsored by KFC. Well, i’m no fan of KFC, but when i saw this posted on my wall, how can one resist, utelmi.

As the very first sentence of the Terms & Conditions reads: “This coupon is only valid with any purchase…..” the rest of what it says no longer matters. So, i printed out four B & W copies on an A4 paper and drove to the nearest KFC outlet.

Paid Rm2.10 for four buns and walked away with four sets of KFC Double Zinger Burger Combo for free. Come to think of it, i regretted not printing more and buying for family members living nearby just now. Cos, uknowat, KFC chickened out on their promo and voided the vouchers after only a few hours with an update on their Facebook Page:

It reads:

KFC Malaysia – Kentucky Fried Chicken
Dear KFC Fans,
Due to the overwhelming response on the FREE Double Zinger Burger Combo online voucher, we would like to inform that the allocated stocks for this online promotion is FINISHED! We REGRET for any inconvenience caused and we THANK YOU for all your support. Please look out for more amazing deals from us very soon!:)

Do note that the word, “allocated” has been conveniently inserted into the statement. It’s not stated in the online voucher. To me, it simply means KFC should not be selling this product as they’ve run out of stock, right. KFC CHICKENED OUT. KFC failed to honor their very own promotion which should last till 15th Jan 2012. Epic fail.

Anyway, i should not be whining at all as i managed to buy four sets :p

Sorry to all of you who missed out on this deal.

I will have to go visit a friend at the hospital soon. She’s just given birth to her second baby. Well, i can do that right after my kid’s recess. The hospital is just roughly 5 minutes away from the school. Talking of babies, my second kid will turn 4 years old tomorrow. Time flies, especially when one has kids to care for. He was also born at the same hospital. Oh, it was just like yesterday that i brought my little bundle of joy back home from the hospital. Malcolm was delivered via C-sect, same as Gordon, my first boy. I can still remember my Obstetrician, Anesthetist and nurses in Lab Coats and Medical Nursing Scrubs all around me for a good hour when i was in the operating room. I am thankful that i did not encounter any complications at all from pregnancy till childbirth.

My hospital-stay was brief. I only stayed for two nights for both occasions. Errrr…. maybe it’s due to my not liking hospital food to begin with. The pic above says it all, lol. I always get hubby to bring something for me a few times each during mealtimes. Moreover, the food served during my childbirth doesnt taste anything like the chinese confinement foods my MIL cooks. I’m lucky to have a MIL who does all the confinement cooking for me after i’m home from the hospital. Well, i had to take care of the baby myself as hubby had to leave back to the city. I’m now planning on what to cook for my kid’s birthday party tomorrow. Any recommendations? (MIL just popped into my room and told me she’ll be buying KFC for him. And my boy, he wants a cherry cake…..)

Today is the only day i felt well enough to have a decent meal. I’ve been sick since last Saturday, Chinese New Year’s Eve. Hubby got home really late on CNY eve as there was a long jam all the way back from KL. But as long as he’s safely home, so what if he’s home late, right.

By Sunday, Chor 1, i was already down and out. Hubby drove me down town to look for a clinic. Unfortunately, none’s open and we ended up at GH. Good also since i only have to pay Rm1 for consultation and medication. If not, i may have to fork out around Rm40-50 elsewhere.

Yesterday, Chor 2, we went back to my Mom’s. Next, we headed over to my Grandma’s. She’s aged so much this year. Gotta visit her more often. Last stop was my uncle’s place. That’s it. The weather was too hot for us to continue on.

Today, we took the kids out to Tesco. Bought Malcolm a poolside ball. He’s been asking for one for weeks! Gordon got a pair of arm floats. Will take them swimming this Sunday if the weather permits.

My buddies called up this noon inviting me out for dinner with them. Knowing i’m still not well, they came over to the foodcourt near my place for dinner. How nice of them, ya. The picture above is the Lo Sang we had just now. Have you had yours this Chinese New Year?
