Close shave!

This morning I walked alone. Noni couldn't go as she is recuperating from an eye operation since yesterday. My youngest son Alan who is on his off-day today, supposed to walk with me but since he had a late nite, couldn't bring himself to wake up early this morning. After walking, felt like having breakfast at McD...their BIG Breakfast! Its been a while I had anything from McD, since Im trying to curb the comfort food I have always fond of. You guess it...Im on DIET again!But their TV ad really makes me crave for that BIG hearty breakfast! "A array of sumptious delights" - delicious pancakes oozing with honey and butter, sausage muffins with egg, lovely golden scrambled egg (I love anything EGG!), delightful hash brown and their hot Premium Roast Coffee! Mmmmmm......mouth watering!


BIG hearty breakfast after a good walk! Hahaha...put back the pounds I lost!



Strangely enough, Alan woke up as I was about to drive to the nearest McD! So away we went to have our breakfast. It was a delicious, heart warming, bellyful of breakfast indeed! Then we came back and I went straight to the garden pulling weeds, snapped photos, transplanted seedlings etc etc....Almost 2 hours later, while taking off my sweaty clothes to bathe, suddenly I remembered I left my wallet on the bench where I sat for breakfast! Alan drove as fast as he could back there to retrieve my wallet while I phoned the credit card company to block my card immediately and praying very hard I will get back my wallet with everything intact especially my ID. Though in my heart, its unlikely I will get it back. I got myself ready to make a police report of my lost while waiting for Alan to come back with the bad news.




Alhamdulillah...Alan came back with the good news, my wallet was found by a McD's staff! Later, I went back there to thank the staff myself but was told the person has finished her shift and gone home. Anyway, the cashier there told me I was lucky that my wallet was found by their staff or else I might not be so lucky.....



While there, snapping a few photos, I couldn't help myself by grabbing a quick lunch! .....*Sigh....another round of comfort food! Its my way of showing my gratefulness to those staff at McD Ampang Jaya! Syabas!

Alhamdulillah. What a mess it could have been.

I've had to have McD because of time constraint and convenience but I could never ever say McD is mouthwatering! :) But it must have been real nice to have breakfast with your son and their breakfast is of course better than the roti canai at the nasi kandar place.

Alhamdulillah syukur lah...jika tak susah jugak ,nak kena buat report polis,nak buat ic baru..bagusnya pekerja McD kat Subang Jaya tu..

You see there are many honest people out there. The few bad ones make us doubt in the general goodness of people.

I was really thankful that I got my wallet back Aishah. Its mouthwatering if you are so hungry after a good walk, but anyway Ive always loved McD its only lately that I try to restrain myself. Whew that is really hard to do!

Betul tu cikmanggis, kalau tak memang banyak hal kena buat, pasal dah penah hilang kena pickpocket sekali! McD di Ampang Jaya tu cikmanggis bukan Subang Jaya..hehehe

I guess you are right Pakcik Hassan, they are still good and bonest people around. But once bitten, you tend to remember how dishonest are some people. Moreover, I left the wallet in a public place...it was really a close call due to my negligence. I was so engrossed with the food that I forgot everything else!

I'm so glad you got your wallet back. I think you deserved the lunch after such a worry, and such a nice staff to save it for you. Also you worked off the breakfast in the garden, so no worries. There are many good people out there!

Thanks Egretta for consoling me about the extra calories I had at that big breakfast! You are right, they are a lot of good people out there!
