THE GOOD & THE BAD

.
I think I should start with the bad first... save the best for last (Love this adage... lols). Ok, here we go: -
.
.

THE BAD

.

Some time last week, I realised that I've misplaced a.k.a lost my RapidKL monthly pass... Gosh~ I realised that right in front of KL Sentral's LRT Station, on my way back from office... Hmm... Means that I have to bear the additional daily commuting cost... Sigh~

But heck, that is not the story...

.

The BAD began here... I approached one of the ticket counters (There were two), queuing up behind 4 people. At the other counter, there was this Indian tourist (I guessed he's Indian from his look, duh! And his English too~ lols) who was trying his best explaining to the ticketing staff where he was going, and the ticket he needed... All that I could hear was that he mentioned "change train" and "stadium"... The exact destination he was heading to, none of us presented there could ever guess as he himself seemed lost and his English mastery wasn't that good, plus the Indian-English accent... And so on the ticketing staff attending him didn't really manage to help him, leaving the queue became longer and longer... And here's the really BAD part.

.

My ticket counter staff ("MTC"): (With a berlagak (translation: snooty) face) Hey, suruh dia datang sini, biar aku cakap ngan dia.

.

Then that tourist approached to my line, right before my turn, exactly in front of me...

.

MTC: Sir, where are you going?

.

Tourist: Erm.... bla... bla... bla... change... bla... bla...

.

MTC: Nevermind, sir... (Snootier face) You take this card, it's a prepaid... With this card, you can go anywhere you want... It has RM10 inside (Duh, what an English?? Heck, she should go telling that the stored value is RM10... lols)

.

Tourist: ??? bla... bla... bla... change... stadium... bla... bla... bla...

.

MTC: bla... bla... prepaid... bla... bla....

.

This bla... bla... duck and chicken conversation went on for like 3 minutes with my line became longer and longer, just like what had happened to the other counter before the tourist switching to my line... sigh...

.

Me: Excuse me, can't you just give my ticket first?

.

MTC: ??? (Seemed ignoring me... And was still figuring of the whereabout the tourist were heading to)

.

Me: EXCUSE ME. I'm going to Masjid Jamek. (handing over RM10 note)

.

MTC: ???? Encik, janganlah marah. saya sedang tolong dia ni (Means the tourist)

.

Me: Heck! How long are you gona waste my time. Just now he was at the other line, the you asked him to cut my queue... I have been waiting for like 3-5 minutes.

.

MTC: Encik...

.

Me: Hey, he's a customer, and I'm a customer too... Even the frequent. Just because that he is a tourist, he doesn't deserve such a special treatment. You can ask you colleague (pointing at one male staff who was standing next to that MTC) to serve him... Don't drag other people's time, please.

.

MTC & that male colleague: Encik... (The tourist started to dial his friend's number asking for a proper direction)

.

Me: Just gimme that FUCKIN' ticket!!

..

Another passenger behind me: Idiots! Don't waste our time!

.

I got the ticket, finally.

And the rest of the line got their tickets too... lols!

.

Who was the idiot, you figure out yourself.

.

.

THE GOOD

.

The next morning, I paid RM50 for a RM1.30 ticket at the Masjid Jamek LRT ticket counter, as I was heading to KL Sentral. Here's the conversation: -

.

Me: KL Sentral, please.

.

Another Ticketing Staff ("ATC"): Encik, tak ada duit kecil ke?

.

Me: Maaf, tak ada. baru je saya keluarkan duit daripada ATM.

.

ATS: (Nodding)

.

And guess what, she gave me these:

1. RM8.70 in 8 notes of RM1 and 1 piece of 50 cents and 10 cents (3 pieces).

2. RM50 in RM1 (8 notes), RM10 (3), RM5 (2) and 50 cents (4).

.

Altogether, she returned me RM58.70!!!

.

And I only realised that once I reached office, in Shah Alam!!! Lols.

.

You may count how much profit I've made... Lols.

.

.

THE MORALS

.

1. There are some of us who still has the stigma that tourists are superiors than the locals.

.

2. RapidKL should equip their staff (including the ticketing agent) with a contingency plan whenever special case /attention arise. This does not only limited to when and where the LRTs crash or when the station is in fire. You know what I mean, when such thing like what happened to me in "THE BAD" section, what should be the most appropriate action was to take that tourist aside, and let the other staff to attend to his need, without delaying other people's turn, neither to ask him to jump queue. Lols... Lots more to learn, RapidKL!

.

3. RapidKL should polish the English proficiency of their staff.

.

and

.

4. Guys, always pay in big note in the morning, who knows you might end up making incidental profit... Like I did. duh~

.

.

Nudge: Now I believe, bad and good things do come in one package. Lols.

YOU TOOK MY HEART AWAY

by Michael Learns To Rock

.

Staring at the moon so blue
Turning all my thoughts to you
I was without hope or dream
Try to dull an inner scream
But you . . . saw me through . . .

Walking on a path of air
See your faces everywhere
As you melt this heart of stone
You take my hand to guide me home and now I�m in love

You took my heart away
When my whole world was grey
You gave me everything and a little bit more
And when it's cold at night
And you sleep by my side
You become the meaning of my life . . .

Living in a world so cold
You were there to warm my soul
You came to mend a broken heart
You gave my life a brand new start
And now . . . I'm in love

You took my heart away
When my whole world was grey
You gave me everything and a little bit more
And when it's cold at night
And you sleep by my side
You become the meaning of my life . . .

Holding your hands
I won't fear tomorrow
Here where we stand
We never be alone

You took my heart away
When my whole world was grey
You gave me everything and a little bit more
And when it's cold at night
And you sleep by my side
You become the meaning of my life . . .
You become the meaning of my life . . .
You become the meaning
You become the meaning of my life . . .

Nudge a.k.a Adan: sincerely to that someone who melts this heart of stone.

AND AGAIN, I'M IN LOVE

.
Yes, indeed that I am a not-so-easy-to-fall-in-love type of person, as it took me years to fall in love again if we take the past experiences as the benchmark, but now it seems that I helplessly am really in love... Angau somemore seh... You may ask my aunt and Shafiq on how much they are tired and bored listening to me talking about my crush... Hmmm~ I am sorry, but I just can't help it...
.
Nope, she's not a princess... Hmm... Not even famous, neither she is rich... But for sure that she is Korean, wordless pretty and stunningly classy.
.
Yes, guys, I am talking about my crush... the Kia Forte.
.
Here's her photo, rate her yourself as I think she looks cooler than City and Vios, and rather sportier+classier+everything in-between compared to Civic. Lols.
.

.

~ the front hood looks more alike the Civic and Mazda3, and the rear is the resemblance of the classy BMWs... lols ~

.
Yes, what I really want is Kia Forte white... It could be the 1.6 or 2.0 SX.... Hahaha.... I am greedy. The Kia Forte white should look like this: - .
Yes, I know... You all would simply go, "Come on... That's a Kia, duh~." Hahaha, well being snooty, I would reply, "Heck, do I look like I care?" .
No, I am not that snooty... Hahaha... Here's my explanation... You should know that I am always into the underdogs... When you guys were crazily screaming for Adam Lambert, I did go for the Chris (and yes, he won American Idol... lols). When chan Kwee Poh think Nik would win ANTM, I was the biggest fan of Nicole Linkletter... Hahaha (and yes, she won that season). The same thing goes to my brand preference... I am not into Revlon nor Sunsilk, yet I do prefer VO5. What else yea, hmmm.... I would always prefer Motorola to Nokia, and even to iPhone... Hahaha... It's just me, I am into the underdogs, and think that the famous and populars are just being ovverrated with more spotlight given to them... It's just me... No offense yea. .
Yes, I love KIA since my first car. My then Kia Spectra was at least on the same par as the Honda City and Toyota Vios... And even its driver's seat is more comfortable and the legroom is much spacious compared to City and Vios... Hahaha... I dun care your stare lah, Amy!!! I love Kia and I believe if it were given the spotlight, it could have shone better than its rivals... Lols. .
Nope, I don't really care... I would always think the underdogs such as the VW, Mazda and KIA would somehow rule the automotive line... and you gotta believe me, as much as I predicted that Nicole Linkletter would win the ANTM last time! Hahaha... .
Yes, I've been so crazily browsing and looking for KIA Forte's information, i.e. the specifications, the reviews, the photos and as well as the price online... And yes, I have to mention here, I have spotted 1 lorry transporting like 5 KIA Fortes to Shah Alam last week, and hell yes, they looked so classy... so BMW, so Merz... Hahaha! I should say, Honda City is just one history, ahah! Forgive me for being overboard... Lols. .
Oh, as I'm not a good at promoting and reviewing, the least that I can do is by providing you this link: http://usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/cars-trucks/Kia_Forte/ Try see the review yourself, and judge them... You may compare Kia Forte to the City and Vios as they are in the same class, the compact class. .
Well... I love you Kia Forte for your look, your reliability, your spaciousness, your finishings, as well for your name, KIA. Hahaha... I found that KIA Spectra and Forte are the most gorgeous looking cars after the BMWs... Hahaha... What else to say, they are Koreans... Koreans are cute, Koreans are handsome, Koreans are classy... as much as their actors & actresses... Hahahaha....~ At least if it were to be compared with the Japanese (again, forgive me... I'm just so in love... lols) especially Amy's dream car the Swift.... Hahahaha...

~ That looks awesome, isn't it? I love the gear, love the monochrome dahsboard finishing, love the spacious leg room, love the window panels and etc. etc. I am just so in love ~

~ Shut up, Amy... I love this ~

Hahaha... Another reason why I love KIA is that not so many people use this car brand... Hahaha.... Like I told JD before, I can always go bragging about my car when not so many people own them... Hahaha... Cuz they can't really say bad things about it as they don't realy driving it... And I can always bragging about it without they knowing for the lack of the hands-on knowledge. Hahaha... what an excuse lols.

Adan a.k.a. Nudge: Going for a test drive... Kia Motors Maluri, see me tomorrow. And guys, I'll upload more photos of KIA Forte in due course yeah... Forgive me lah, I am so in love and I love talking bout it... lols. Bear with me~ hahaha

MCA

"MCA - Makes Chinese Angry" - This was what been expressed by my student's aunt, and she's Chinese.


Well, I'm not a Chinese, but somehow I'm fed-up with with the MCA's internal rivalries... Just have a fresh election, then throw out those gila kuasa people... For the sake of integrity.

THINGS ON TV I LIKE - NO. 1

.

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES

I became a fan of these so desperate rich (or at least, doing well) housewives since their first season... :) I still remember when I happened to came across an interview held by a magazine with Teri Hatcher (Wow, I am her fan since the Lois & Clark: The New Adventure of Superman~) prior to the sitcom's debut, and I was so tergoda with her passion towards the sitcom... and so then I anticipated for its debut, and until now, I can tell you, Desperate Housewives is the no. 1 sitcom ranked by me: -
.

~ The Desperate 4 ~

~ The Desperate 5~

~ The Desperate 6 ~

.

P/S: Since that Eddie Brit had died in somewhat accident, so now they're back as The Desperate 5.

.

.

My fav. character: All of them!!!

Desperate careless cutie: Susan

Desperate elegance: Bree

Desperate toughness: Lynette

Desperate poshy hottie: Gaby

Desperate ambigous hottie: Edie
Desperate patience: Katherine

.

My favourite scene: When Lynette was diagnosed with cancer, Tom & her looked for a way to positively deal with it regardless of their before-that quarrel.

.

My least favourite scene: The tragic death of Edie.

.

My thought: Wisteria Lane = Histeria Lane.

.

My expectation: To have Susan paired with that British Ian again... Happily ever after.

.

.

Adan a.k.a Nudge: Another Desperate main character should be that old lady... I forgot her name, but she always appear in the series, and was said killing her husband... Anyway, dun you think her character has the same dynamism as the other Desperates. Come on, make her one of the Desperates, and put her on the cover!

FROM CHERAS TO SHAH ALAM

Most of my friends know that I am currently commuting to and fro office by public transportations as I now have no car. Believe it or not, I somehow enjoy taking public transports... Hahaha...

I bought the RM1oo monthly pass for LRT, meaning that I am now able to go anywhere using LRT (hahaha... as long as the places are reachable by LRT la, duh~) without the hassle of queuing up for tickets... Nice! Especially for someone like me who sometimes forgot to bring cash along~ hahaha...

Anyway... it's not about the ticket that I am about to go all out crapping in here... Nah, it won't be interesting at all to crap bout tickets!! Hahaha... Well, read further to find out what I've classified as annoyingly hillarious stories that happened almost everyday and faced by almost all LRT-Takers.

.

.

1. Illiterate people

.

Do you notice that there are signboards telling all people using the escalators at Masjid Jamek and KL Sentral LRT Stations that asking not-so-rushing people to stay on the left side of the escalators so that the rushing-people could dash down and up the escalators easily.... Those signboards were hang there with purpose... So, please la, to all my dear LRT-Takers, don't be so illiterate pagan wearing expensive slacks and ties standing on the right side of the escalators during peak hours. And even please, when people ask you to give them way, dun la give them a fierce stare. you might end up having a palm print on your face k. We know that you work in KL and your punch-in time is at 9am... Just please be empathy of people working in Shah Alam like me who have to rush to catch the always-late commuters and buses.

.

P/s: I think this stand on left, walk on right rules shall apply at all LRT escalators, not limited to Masjid Jamek and KL Sentral Stations only.

.

.

2. Deodorant-less people

.

I just dun get it people, seriously! Why do we have to stink so bad in the morning... Tak mandi pagi ke? Tak pakai deodorant ke?

.

It is acceptable should you stink at 4pm - 8pm, as you might'd been doing lots of sweaty chores in offices or sites... But in the morning, heck!!!

.

Fellow LRT-Takers, why should you spend RM400 for hot-shower installation fee if you don't use them when you should? How come that you could never notice the odour that comes from your armpits? Don't you realise that there's totally no use of spending RM500+ for nice attires should you stink real bad?

.

Come on fellow people, for other people's sake: -

.

(a) Please lah mandi pagi... Dun tell me you had mandi before went for bed last nite... That's last nite la!

.

(b) Please lah put some deodorants... No matter la whether you are a cleaner, or labour, executive or manager, do it for other people's sake... You can ask your wife or husband to smell them should you are darn proud of your body odour... But a BIG NO NO for other people yea...

.
P/s: Maybe we should get Rexona doing road shows at the LRT stations and Komuters to Klang and Sentul Stations so that these stink people can be introduced with some products called 'deodorants'... and Rexona might explore new market... hehehe... talking bout killing 2 birds with 1 stone.

.

.

3. Pole People


This is a situation where the so indifferent people hugging the pole inside the LRT or Komuter as if they wereso in love with the pole... and they think of bringing the pole home. Same goes to the people who are so selfish leaning against the pole. Most of them, if you notice are the Indonesian workers, Indian (old & young) ladies, young Chinese (both male & female) and young & old Malay ladies... They are so indifferent... So insenstitive leaving other people have to hold to nowhere.

.

People, be considerate, we know that you are tired, but please do not hug the pole, and do not lean against it too... Other people such as elder people or weaker people as well as the shorter people, they might need the pole to hold during the bumpy rides, as they cannot reach the rail hanging above their head.

.

Things like that shall be shared la... It's not your private properties and that there's no such first-come-first serve rule shall apply in this case yea!

.

P/s: They are just plainly selfish!

.

.

4. Announcer People

.

This is somewhat annoying! Hahaha... there are some people who would either: -

.

(a) Talk on their phone so loud

.

(b) Chat with their friends non-stop loudly since boarding till disembarking

.

(c) Turn on their favourite playlist of songs loudly using phone

.

Hahaha... There's no need to elaborate more, rite? I think all of us know how annoying these people could be. I have had an incident when someone who was so irked with the above (b)-type of people compaining to them to pause chatting for a while as he got tired listening to them loudly chatting since boarding the train from Padang Jawa till Kg. Dato' Harun. And guess what, they would never stop chatting should that someone didn't complain.

.

And it is not that we do not like Tamil and Hindi songs, but please lah... You do not have to play your favourite songs too loud in the commuter... you may use the earphone or just sorry, listen them at home...

.

P/s: Sometimes the group (c) people deliberately play the songs loud. If you play Michael Buble's Everything, then OK lah... hahaha... it's pretty much soothing... but to a loud and noisy tamil music... sorry lah... we are so tired in the evening after piles of office works.

Nudge: I somehow find it is interesting commuting from Cheras to Shah Alam by public transports. Start my morning journey by taking STAR LRT from Chan Sow Lin Station to Masjid Jamek Station where I interchange to PUTA LRT to KL Sentral that I gotta buy and queue for KTMB Komuter to Batu Tiga Shah Alam, I can see lots of funny and sometimes annoying truth about us, people's attitude & manners. Sad, but yes, it's colourful! Lots more to write, but save it for next time.

IF

By Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

Nudge aka Adan: My fav. poem. Love the last sentence.

EXPENSIVE

Dear John Doe, Aina and Darwis,


As you guys kept asking... here's my answer.


My perfume is not CK, neither DKNY (though that's my fav perfume), nor Emporio Armani. It is just a perfume which I took from my mom's box, that only cost her RM5 per small bottle (very small though), known as One-Drop Perfume.


Hahaha... So now, u guys know already la... Hahaha... Anyway, though it's a cheap perfume, but yes, it smells very nice, rite? As well, it has those expensive+branded scents, rite? Hahaha... So, now I believe that good things do not only come with high price tags. Hehehe...


Anyway, not for the purpose of promoting One-Drop Perfume, as I'm not its dealer or anything... Just in case that you may want to look for the same perfume, take a look of its box... And note that it comes with 8 small bottles per box, with different scents inspired from famous brands ler like Davidoff, Estee Lauder and etc. And there are like 4 or 5 types of boxes... Errr... Wanna know more, find it in store! Hehehe... And onw more thing, dun worry, it's safe+hygienic+non-alcoholic and yes, it lasts on your body for one whole day. Lalala~ Now I do sound like promoting it! Haha...

Nudge aka Adan: Hahaha... Now I can't brag anymore! I use cheap things, gotta admit. Lols.
