The Worst Dining Experience Ever

I had the worst dining experience at IL UK JO Japanese/Korean
restaurant, in Fleetwood, Surrey, BC on Father's Day. I didn't know
that this restaurant had a bad reputation when it comes to
all-you-can-eat until I read reviews online from other food patrons.
This is just a recollection of my lunch experience there and is not
meant to bad-mouth the establishment. I leave it up to you to decide
on your own.

I heard from online reviews that if you ordered from the menu,
customer service wasn't so bad but if you go for the all-you-can eat
option which is what we did, then you will get treated very poorly.
The reason we dined out was to enjoy the company of loved ones on
Father's Day but it ended up being very unenjoyable, leaving me a bad
taste in my mouth the whole day.

I hated having to get up to ask for missing cutlery, napkins, water,
tea, etc. They don't 'wait' on you like at other restaurants and it
felt very hostile with a feeling that they don't want you to be around
too long. They didn't clear our table after our first order and we
ended up putting aside the dirty dishes ourselves. We filled in the
order sheet twice and I was frustrated to see that on the second
order, they gave us two sushi platters that was obviously too much for
us to finish. It felt like they were trying to stuff us with sushi so
that there would be no third order. That's how I read the situation. A
few minutes later, the owner hands me the bill and says there was a
long line-up and that we had to go. I stood up and looked to see if
people were waiting up front but there was no one there. They just
wanted us to leave I think. I didn't go back to our table because they
started to clear it and was hurrying us out of the party room. This
was horrible and unthinkable. I have never ever been asked to rush and
finish a meal at a restaurant. This was terrible form and bad
etiquette. Who does that? My dad was still trying to finish the
remaining food on his plate but they didn't care and had continued
cleaning the table, quickly urging us out of the room. They were very
rude and I was very frustrated and embarassed at the same time.

We paid our bill, added 15% gratuity, and left. I vow never to go back
there again.

How I Fixed My In-Sink Garburator

Our kitchen garburator had been out of order for the past few weeks and I thought I would give it some tender loving care this Christmas Holidays because we'll need it. It's a Mainline Model 1900 and has been very dependable for the past 6 years. This happened a few times before and all I did was run a wooden barbeque stick through the serrated edges of the garburator blade to dislodge whatever gunk was in there and that did the trick. It didn't this time and I was ready to spend some money. I was tempted to call our plumber and have them fix this for me (here take my money) but I thought to myself, how hard can this be. I was also tempted to take the whole thing apart to clean whatever was causing the blade to not spin but I'm sure I would have lost a few fingers or two if I did that. What did work was using something everyone already has lying around the kitchen - a butter knife. Take the butter knife and find the gap in the blade to insert the tip of the kn...

Success Story Renewing my Okta Maintenance Certification thru Examity

The Okta Certified Professional certification had to be renewed every 2 years and my maintenance exam was due on July 30, 2023. I was confident about passing the exam because I had just completed an HRIS mastering project and Okta. However, the exam format was unnatural using DOMC (discreet option multiple choice), so I had to study and review a fair bit of material to prepare. After studying a decent amount, I scheduled my exam for Tuesday, June 27, 2023. After hitting the next page, there was an error so I hit the back button and tried again. I was able to get it scheduled but didn't know that the exam date was actually scheduled for Sunday, June 25, 2023, for some reason. There was a confirmation email stating that but of course, I did not read it because I was focused on the Tuesday, June 27th date. I continued cramming until Tuesday but realized in horror that I was a no-show when I logged in 30 minutes before the exam at 10:30pm. If you have ever done offsite exams, yo...

Student Story: A Bertelsmann Technology Scholarship in Artificial Intelligence

As part of the Udacity Bertelsmann Technology scholarship, I was asked to write a student story to provide feedback on the overall experience. There were 3 questions on a Google form and these were my answers to those questions below. Fast forward to July 2021, I was selected into phase 2 scholarship and have submitted all 3 projects for grading. I even submitted all the career services projects including Resume review, LinkedIn review, Cover-letter review, and GitHub review. Make sure you don't click "Graduate" yet until you are ready because you will be kicked out of classroom chats so make sure you have said your farewells in advance. What do you want the world to know about you? Loving husband and father to two wonderful kids. My passion is academia and enjoy the journey of learning. I have accumulated many certificates, diplomas, and degrees over the years. Some from self-study, some from traditional brick-and-mortar schools, and more recently from on...
