LRT, WAIT FOR ME!

I couldn't stop laughing when this happened, yet I had to... Otherwise, people would give me a stare for being too insensitive, but tell me what would you do should see the below scenes -

WAIT

Was on the train when it reached Damai Station. There was not so many people there waiting for the train when it stopped, until... There was this aunty running up the stairs, rushing when the train was about closing the doors with beeping sounds... "teet... teet." I, who was standing next to door, clearly saw this aunty running like mad, screaming, "Wait! LRT, wait! Wait!" With her hand waving like calling for about-to-move bus. "Wait! Wait, LRT, Wait!!!"

And guess what, the LRT did not wait for her.

Why? Cuz Putra LRT (Former name of Kelana Jaya Line LRT) does not have drivers... Hehehe~

Poor aunty. Sorry that I am giggling now~ Really sorry.

NEXT STATION, PLEASE

You were on this train when it stopped at KLCC Station. You know, Arabs love flocking around KLCC, and most of the ladies wear abaya (the clothing which cover the whole body except the eyes)...

There was this 1 family - consisting of a dad, mom, and 2 kids. When the door beeping and closing, the whole family ran and dashed into the train, EXCEPT for the mom who was not able to run in the abaya, and the father who was with the stroller.

So, who were on train?? Haha... The two kids! Lalala~

They were all frightened, panicking... Imagine, the father was outside of the train, did not manage to get in with the mom, leaving the two kids (around age of 7 and 5, I guess) on board.

The train then moved, and the kids screamed so loud!!! Crying~

Luckily, a very good aunty got them down at the next station, and I heard her saying to get them waited for the next train to look for their parents.

Poor family~

BERSIH LAGI

It's funny to see my friends and acquaintances keep calling people who join Bersih as "bodoh" (translation, stupid), calling names such as "Ambingai" to Ambiga, remarking Chinese as "dogs" and etc.


Well, in arguing and disagreeing, what is our focus? The issue itself or people's personality? Why such remarks and nicknames?


The religion never allow us for such act, and why are we playing with racial issues... Hmm~


Maybe all Anti-Bersih people should value their act and argument skills... Seriously!


And for all Bersih supporters, please and please dun react to such statements. Let's keep ourselves on the higher road yea. And ignore such racist remark cuz we all know our value... Please.


And again, I believe in Bersih, believe that it has nothing to do with racial sentiments (We have seen it today), it was a peaceful rally and all in all, it was a success.... Let's have it again next time!!! Peacefully, again!!!

HTC PANDEMIC

Haha... It's not really a pandemic but well, let's hyperbole things and make this world a greater place to live!!!! Hahaha~ moron.

Back to the real business, shall we?

I have an HTC phone, which I love much, adore like mad and to a degree, I love talking bout it, praising my HTC phone to heaven and sometimes errr.... boasting and bragging bout it... Hahaha~

And well, as much that I am a person of calibre (read, dominant) hahaha, I have and keep influencing people around me to get themselves any HTC phones as HTC really produces good the best smartphones, and YES!!! They believe me... Hahaha!!!

Let's see~



Me, Myself and again Me!!!

I have this powerhouse HTC Desire HD which I love much. I love its net browsing speed, the processor, I love its HD functions, I love the smart HTC sense and the zero waiting map. Seriously! And yes, given a free iPhone to swap with my lovey dovey HTC Desire HD, hahaha... my choice would still go to retain my HTC Desire HD. Awesome! Talking about being loyal, aren't we? Hahaha.



Ooi Leng

This is Ooi Leng, my colleague. She finally bought herself an HTC Wildfire after being talked by me on how awesome HTC's navigator... Hehehe... But, she's having problem with the wifi, the dealer whom she bought the smartphone from had set something gawky to the phone... Pity her. 


Dun worry, Ooi Leng, once you've sorted out the wifi issue, I will configure the phone to its best for you!!!! Repeat after me, Ooi Leng, "HTC is the best phone!!!" Hahaha~



Saiful

This is my ex-housemate. I remember he SMSed me one day asking my opinion whether to buy HTC Sensation or a latest LG phone (Sorry, LG is just not my thing I can't really remember its model) and without hesitation I recommended HTC Sensation.


The truth is, I did not even know that HTC had came out with HTC Sensation... Hahaha~ My recommendation was purely based on my faith in HTC products... Hahaha~


And yes, Saiful is one proud owner of HTC Sensation!!! Hell yeah!!!!



Hah Seng Loong

Another colleague of mine. 


I have been bragging about my kawesomely-ass-kickin' HTC Desire HD for months during our lunch hour (almost everyday hahaha), and jeng jeng jeng... Finally, he ordered the HTC Sensation from Maxis... Hahaha~


Hah is now eagerly waiting for his HTC Sensation!!!! Yeah!!!!!



Edward

Daily outings with me promoting (boasting, actually) my stunning HTC Desire HD has for sure lured Edward to get himself any HTC really soon... Don't tell me, Edward, that my promoting skills fail to incept into your mind that HTC is better than Apple's iPhone... 


Well, I have a proof, you know, you once said you are going to get yourself an HTC... Hahaha... And you did admit that my superior HTC Desire HD is smashing cool!!! Right? Right?


It is just a matter of time for Edward to trade his iPhone for any cool HTC. Lols.



A Couple on the train

There was one Chinese couple standing next to me last night on KTM Komuter from KL Sentral to Subang Jaya when my cute HTC Desire HD rang. When I picked up, talked and hanged up then pressed here and there and browsing Facebook, the miracle moment finally popped up - 


The Girl : (whispering to the Boy) HTC
The Boy : (Asking me) What model is that?
Me : HTC Desire HD
The Girl : It's fast, right?
Me : (Acting like an HTC salesman) Yes, the processor is 'super duper' fast. 
The Boy : How much is the price?
Me : Around RM2k
The Boy : I see. How's the camera?
Me : 8 megapixel.
The Girl : Wow!! 
The Boy : She wants to buy the same phone.
Me : (Smiling)


The above conversation did really happen. And I am quite certain that they will buy an HTC, probably tomorrow.

I will upload their photos holding their HTC smartphones tomorrow!!!!!
HTC, hire me as your ambassador or spokeperson yea!!! Lols~ moron.

SAYA MALAYSIAN

I lost my wallet somewhere a few weeks ago and it was pretty troublesome to not having the MyKad (the Malaysian identification card), driving license and all the atm cards in hand. For weeks I had to bring the A4 size police report to almost everywhere, and yeah for weeks I had to transfer money to colleagues' accounts before they could draw them out for me.

I just didn't have time to queue for the MyKad replacement, and for that, my application for my bank cards was denied.


And it is only today that I finally managed to find a day-off and get everything settled.

Tips for those who lost their MyKad -

1. Lodge a police report (regardless the govt and the related ministries keep telling that we no longer have to cuz we know them well, don't we? lols) as for not having it lodged, application for 'ah long's' (shark loan) financing can be made by any culprits possessing your card, and you can simply be made liable.

2. The Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara at Maju Junction Mall is open on Saturday. For weekdays, opt to Wangsa Maju branch or the Bandar Tun Razak branch. Lesser people there.

3. Do not bother to try applying it online though the Govt and the related Minister did recently announce we can do so; cuz actually the system is so antique and not functioning the way it is supposed to be. You will ended up being asked to contact some hotline numbers or to go to the nearest branch. I have tried before and yes, it was somewhat frustrating and reminded me to our tourism minister (Ng Yen Yen who spent almost RM1.8 million for her ministry's facebook page)... Hehe ;-)

4. The fees for losing your MyKad as follow -

(a) for first timer - RM110
(b) 2nd time - RM220
(c) 3rd time onwards - RM330 + akuan bersumpah needed

5. You will be given a temporary B3-sized plain-paper replacement IC and you can claim the replacement MyKad after 10 days which you need to count yourself, and to pay a guessing visit to the branch aftee 10 days. If your replacement MyKad is ready, there you go!!! But if it is yet to ready, hahaha, nasib lah... Do come again. They won't issue you any notification, that was what being told me by the officer there.


Well, with or without Mykad, I am still a Malaysian... At heart!

LANGKAWI TRIP

Haha... This is really an archeologist-type post... Gotta admit, I am a lazy sort of guy, went there last April and now only feel like sharing... Haha... 

I live in 2-months late sorta kind of world, so, forgive me!




Date : March 31 - Apr 3, 2011
With : Edward and the other tourists (lols)
Theme : Whatever comes (Translation: Do not plan anything!) Lols again.




Departure


We boarded train from KL Sentral to Arau. It was Edward's first time train ride. His comments? Hahaha... bumpy and restless... Hahaha... Can't blame him, the only time he managed to sleep was when we hang around the cafetaria... Haha~

Things to remember -
(i) We thought we have boarded the wrong train, i.e. the one heading to Kelantan as we heard the other passengers chit chatting in a dialect which sounds like Kelantanese/Siamese. Haha...
(ii) The toilet was funny...


Then took ferry from Kuala Perlis. New experience for me, yet nothing special... Haha... Boring I should say~ Hahaha... The only time we went "Yeay!!" was when we saw the Kuah Jetty.






On the Island


We got ourselves a car, a Toyota Vios.
People say that was cheap enough...

And yes, renting a car for this trip was a nice bet cuz Langkawi does not really have KL-standard public transport system. Anyway, we went all around the island, you name it!!!

Here are some photos for you to go, "A-hah, they really discovered the whole island." -

Kuah Jetty - Arriving... Damn excited, felt like jumping off the ferry

Legenda Langkawi - Next to Dataran Lang

Dataran Lang

Chenang Beach - We saw Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie while strolling along the beach. Damn it! We missed asking for autographs.

Pulau Dayang Bunting

Tasik Dayang Bunting - Edward, half naked... hahaha... We helped one Singaporean uncle who almost drowned himself.

Underwater World - We love penguins!!!

Underwater World - Even better than Aquaria KLCC. Sick!!! 

Kolam Ayer Hangat (Salty Hotspring) - A cool place. A must visit! Free entrance during our visit.

Kolam Ayer Hangat (Salty Hotspring)  - They even have saunas

Teluk Yu Langka

A bay

Pasar Malam Kuah - Even ducklings were on sale....!

Pantai Chenang - The last day

Oriental Village - Shopping and shopping

Cable Car - Entrance

Cable car - Awesome view!!!

Skybridge - 705m from sea level

Oriental Village - This red-eyed rabbit bite Edward's 'middle' finger.... Hahaha... They have tiger too but unfortunately we were stingy lots to donate, so no photos snapped.

Island hopping - 4 islands... and we had the fastest boat.... They fed eagles on the way back.

Accomodations


It was 4 days and 3 nights trip.

1st & 2nd nights - Hotel Bahagia, Kuah. Was a small hotel with a wonderful service. It did feel like we were staying in a few stars hotel. The buffeted breakfast was yummy, won't lose to expensive hotels. The room was cosy, with cool hot shower. Great hotel. Recommended!


3rd night - Sandy Beach Resort - Haha... got mosquitoes... Breakfast was okay. The nice thing bout it was that it was on Pantai Chenang Beach! Full stop. Hahaha...



Food


Aside of Hotel Bahagia's breakfast which was really worth mentioning, applause should go to the following -

1. Wan Thai Restaurant Recommended!

Located right next to Hotel Bahagia. They served yummy Thai food... And our favourite was the crab!! Hahaha~ They were good till we paid another visit the next day.

2. Saloma Nasi Lemak


One of the places where you can get really delicious food with cheap prices. Located near the Kuah Jetty. Their itik curry was damn nice!!! Recommended!

Returning


Hahaha... No more train... Flied back to KLIA. Hahaha~

Suggestions - 

1. Rent a car in Langkawi, a good car will do best.

2. Do not stay in Pantai Chenang area; for a better hotel with cheaper price. Highly recommend Hotel Bahagia in Kuah.

3. Take the island hopping package.

4. Buy a map.

5. Dine at Wan Thai Restaurant.

6. Try the Saloma Nasi Lemak (Nearby Jetty Point)... Their duck curry is the best deal

7. Be patient with Langkawi drivers, they are among the worst drivers in Malaysia you can find, haha...

8. Get a cable car ride at night.

9. Do not bring neither plastic bag nor plastic wrapper to any place with monkeys around... They would try to snatch and might even chase you as they think they contain food... Plastic bottle is OK

9. Lots and lots sun block lotion.

BERSIH 2.0

Bersih 2.0 demands (as excerpted from their website) -


"These are the 8 immediate demands for Perhimpunan BERSIH 2.0:

1. Clean the electoral roll
The electoral roll is marred with irregularities such as deceased persons and multiple persons registered under a single address or non-existent addresses. The electoral roll must be revised and updated to wipe out these ‘phantom voters’. The rakyat have a right to an electoral roll that is an accurate reflection of the voting population.

In the longer term, BERSIH 2.0 also calls for the EC to implement an automated voter registration system upon eligibility to reduce irregularities.

2. Reform postal ballot
The current postal ballot system must be reformed to ensure that all citizens of Malaysia are able to exercise their right to vote. Postal ballot should not only be open for all Malaysian citizens living abroad, but also for those within the country who cannot be physically present in their voting constituency on polling day. Police, military and civil servants too must vote normally like other voters if not on duty on polling day.

The postal ballot system must be transparent. Party agents should be allowed to monitor the entire process of postal voting.

3. Use of indelible ink
Indelible ink must be used in all elections. It is a simple, affordable and effective solution in preventing voter fraud. In 2007, the EC decided to implement the use of indelible ink. However, in the final days leading up to the 12th General Elections, the EC decided to withdraw the use of indelible ink citing legal reasons and rumours of sabotage.

BERSIH 2.0 demands for indelible ink to be used for all the upcoming elections. Failure to do so will lead to the inevitable conclusion that there is an intention to allow voter fraud.

4. Minimum 21 days campaign period
The EC should stipulate a campaign period of not less than 21 days. A longer campaign period would allow voters more time to gather information and deliberate on their choices. It will also allow candidates more time to disseminate information to rural areas. The first national elections in 1955 under the British Colonial Government had a campaign period of 42 days but the campaign period for 12th GE in 2008 was a mere 8 days.

5. Free and fair access to media
It is no secret that the Malaysian mainstream media fails to practice proportionate, fair and objective reporting for political parties of all divide. BERSIH 2.0 calls on the EC to press for all media agencies, especially state-funded media agencies such as Radio and Television Malaysia (RTM) and Bernama to allocate proportionate and objective coverage for all potlical parties.

6. Strengthen public institutions
Public institutions must act independently and impartially in upholding the rule of law and democracy. Public institutions such as the Judiciary, Attorney-General, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency (MACC), Police and the EC must be reformed to act independently, uphold laws and protect human rights.

In particular, the EC must perform its constitutional duty to act independently and impartially so as to enjoy public confidence. The EC cannot continue to claim that they have no power to act, as the law provides for sufficient powers to institute a credible electoral system.

7. Stop corruption
Corruption is a disease that has infected every aspect of Malaysian life. BERSIH 2.0 and the rakyat demand for an end to all forms of corruption. Current efforts to eradicate corruption are mere tokens to appease public grouses. We demand that serious action is taken against ALL allegations of corruption, including vote buying.

8. Stop dirty politics
Malaysians are tired of dirty politics that has been the main feature of the Malaysian political arena. We demand for all political parties and politicians to put an end to gutter politics. As citizens and voters, we are not interested in gutter politics; we are interested in policies that affect the nation.

Once again, BERSIH 2.0 calls on the rakyat who believe in these 8 demands to join us on 9 July to promote democracy and electoral reform. BERSIH 2.0 would like to express our deepest appreciation to the rakyat, NGOs and political parties who have expressed support for these demands. Together we can work towards building a better Malaysia.

BERSIH 2.0 welcomes UMNO Youth’s intention to exercise their right to freedom of peaceful assembly and to seek for improvement of the electoral system. As both UMNO Youth and Pakatan Rakyat component parties have made allegations of involuntary movement of voters, we call on the EC to clarify the allegations considering only the EC is capable moving voters.

BERSIH 2.0 regards UMNO Youth’s move as an indication that the Perhimpunan BERSIH 2.0 is effectively promoting a vibrant democracy and affecting strong pressure on the EC for electoral reform. BERSIH 2.0 wishes success for UMNO Youth and all other parties exercising their right to freedom of peaceful assembly. We call on all participants for any public assemblies to be held on 9 July to ensure a peaceful experience of exercising democratic rights.

BERSIH 2.0 would like to assure the police and all quarters that the Perhimpunan BERSIH 2.0 is a peaceful citizens’ movement. As we have stated previously, BERSIH 2.0 intends to work with the police to ensure the successful facilitation of the peoples’ constitutional right to peaceful assembly."

Think their demands reasonable? Agree that changes are needed? Then, join Bersih 2.0 Rally.
