Pizza Hut 2 thin crust = 1 thick crust?

Recently ordered a pan crust pizza from Pizza hut. There is currently a promotion going on. If you order online you can get one pan pizza and one thin crust for RM19.70. Great deal!
Well I got online and registered my account and proceeded with the order. 40minutes later, beep beep, pizza man is here. Unfortunately for him its raining cats and dogs tonight. After opening the box and smelling the mouth watering aroma, i picked a slice and took a bite.. Hmm.. something's different. Well.. what do you know.. the dough is different.. its just two slices of thin crust stuck together. Well nowander it isn't as puffy. Its more chewy and rather undercooked. Disappointed.. Having worked in Pizza Hut before, I know what can happen in the kitchen behind the scenes.. Maybe they ran out of pan crust dough (which i doubt) or not many people are ordering thin crusts, so they reuse the dough for pan pizzas.. What ever it is. It just doesn't taste the same. Made a complaint to pizza hut. Let's see what happens.

Got a visit from the aircond man

Aircond went bust recently so had to call in the aircond man. End up its a crummy capacitor that blew. Cost RM160 just for this thing. then add RM60 for labour. Pretty expensive to me. Oh well.. no aircond can be problematic during warm nights.
The crew were pretty nice anyway to explain what went wrong and go into details.

Police summons system down

Today when I went to see the police to pay a traffic summons, well what do you know, the system is down, and there isn't any backup. So after travelling all the way to the police station and knowing that parking is a real pain over there, I find out I can even make a manual payment. This e-government thing is suppose to simplify things. Instead, it looks like it is making it more difficult to use.

Ok, back home, I heard that you could pay traffic summons and renew road tax online. Lets give it a try.. So I headed over to www.speed.com.my and registered an account. well as expected, the main page loads fine, but when it comes to accessing summons information, it breaks down. How can a government system behave like this. Isn't there any redundancy in the system? backup or fall over to a manual mode?
