My house is located in a neighbourhood where a lot of cops are living there. That is why the thought of my house being broken into never crossed my mind (seriously). There is also one kindergarten which is located directly opposite my house which practically make the area a rather busy one. And yet I miscalculated... I totally forgotten about the concept of work & holiday. Work - the cops still have to work and not stay at home. Holiday - it's school holiday and most people have taken leave to bring their children on vacation. That makes my house vulnerable to those buggers.
We were returning home from my in-law's place after dinner around 8pm and the first thing that Jenn asked when I parked my car was "Hey! Why didn't you lock the door?" My very first instinct was "S**T"!!! I dashed into the house just to find the place was ransacked... total mess! First thing to do was to check on the loss... jewellery and some cash were missing! Important documents were fortunately left untouched.
A careful look at the aluminium grill revealed that it was prised open by force
The cupboard where the valuables were stored was ransacked!
All the cabinets were not spared too...
The door was dusted by the police to check on the fingerprint!
It took me whole night just to make report at the police station. It pays to have connection with the police force, as they were more efficient and faster to get evidence at the house. After collecting fingerprints, taking photos and recording our statements - I have to tell you, ala CSI-style :) of course, do not expect the likes of David Caruso and Gary Sinise lah! They left.. and then we cleaned up the house.
Later at night...
I couldn't sleep... my eyes were wide opened, imagining on what would it be like if we were at home at that time. With a steel rod by my side (precautionary move), I was worried that they might come back again. Then I realised that rushed into the house without checking if the thieves were still inside, jeopardising my family's safety. I was so concerned with the loss at that time...
Then I looked at my wife and Sher Ryn who were sleeping soundly by my side. I gently stroked my daughter's hair and thanked God that she's alright! Things that are lost can be earned back, but there is only one life. We were so pre-occupied with other things in our lives.
P.S: Next time I'm going to do is to install alarm system. I don't feel save and secure anymore after this incident.
Family safety is always the first! How often we forget that! :)

That's really bad & unethical - about the fish incident. I would be pissed too. Thanks for the warning!
oh really? they could've asked if you wanted to change the fish.
how unethical. thanks for the warning. sounds familiar this place ....
I would like to say sorry on behalf of The Wok Cafe.
You are right to be not happy with the ethics & services provided to you.
Please call 012-2365460 Mervyn to make it up to you,
Sorry.
met with really really bad service, and waited ages for the waitress to come take the order.
the owner of the restaurant is one heck of arrogant fellow. wouldn't even want to help out the staff, as they were lack of it
he just sat there, and barked orders
and they couldn't just notify the customers earlier when one of the dish is not available anymore, until i needed to wave my hands to death, asking for the waitresses to come over and asked about where is the dish that i ordered, as i have already finished my rice!
and talking about rice, they serived the dishes before the rice, and left them cold on the table, before i had to shout my lungs off to ask for rice.
the worst thing is, instead of impressing my in laws with a new place i found on the net about how good is the food, turned out to be a farce.
i had but no choice to tell the waitress when the bill came, that she should quit her job, because her boss is an arrogant, selfish man, and wouldn't care less about his staff, let alone offering decent service
to his customers
i told her not to waste her life there..
this is the first time and the last time tat arrogant fellow of a boss, who don't know nothing about running a business where he fails to realize that customers are gold, is ever gonna get one cent of my hard-earned money ever again
one of the worst dining experience of my life.
i was fuming when i left the place
thule a.k.a leo:
If you know that if i served you poison will you drink? I think you will not.I see your a very highly educated person but so stupid.If you ask anybody Rm13 for a Red Snapper? You can always say NO or cancel the fish before you eat so who's the FOOL? Stop being a PUSSY fuss in BLOG.If you not happy you tell me in person.I will be happy to served you.If you don't have money to eat at my shop just tell me I can always treat you a meal and treat it as a donation to the poor like you.Even you are rich and make a fuss in my restaurant I will surely chase you out.I only serve happy and enjoy food customers.

Trying a restaurant on your own then you will know.By the way I'm the BOSS not my dad.If you not happy face me in person and tell me.You are also another PUSSY coward to face a person.Looking forward to see your parents and in laws getting stroke then see how they barked at you.
