Cannot wait for the arrival of Beijing 2008 summer Olympic game to begin. I as a chinese is proud because for the first time the Olympic game is held at China and organised by chinese!!!!!


THERE IS ONLY ONE CHINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please improve the quality of your service!!!

The sentence above you see is one of the many service declaration you can see at every KTM station. I know what is the feeling of taking KTM commuter train and trust me their service is indeed improve by a little bit but is still far from become good. In the past you cannot trust the timetable of the commuter train and also you cannot trust the announcer that announce the arrival of the commuter train. The train will be late from 5 to 10 minute after the announcer had announce but now the train will arrive on time or late by 1 to3 minute and the train will arrive just after the announcer finish announcing the arrival of train.

The KTM service still has a lot of thing to improve such as the working of their air cond. I still do not know why most of the air cond on the commuter train is neither not working nor cannot provide adequate cooling for the passengers inside the train. Another problem need to be improve is that the KTM commuter train tends to delay, I also do not know why the commuter train tends to delay and the estimate arrival time of the delayed commuter train announce by the announcer is not accurate and some time when the delayed arrive it is usually packed like sardine. This make the passengers that had not board the train to accumulate until the platform is full of people.

Although all these problems I still like to take commuter train since it provide a fast and cheap route into KL city center.

InTra dinner

Not long ago my university organised an industrial training dinner for both of their students and also their supervisor of the students. I sure will not let go of this chance to eat free and the dinner is held at Dewan Felda inside a remote area of KL. I also do nor know where is that place without the help of Google Earth and that place is actually a malay majority village in the middle of KL. With the help of the Google Earth also I had a hard time finding the right place. The hall is very grand and classy but the food and service there hmmm............... What to do, already got chance to eat free but still want to complain. This is the first time I attend malay style of dinner and their dinner style is quite same with chinese. Chinese like theri dishes to come out one by one to the table while malay style is they serve all the dishes on the table before the dinner and they only serve rice when the dinner start.

I dust off just after I am full (have to eat also because that time I am very hungry). I really love the classy feel of the hall, it feel grand and I really cannot believe this hall is situated away from the main road and it is not easy to find the right way into ir because it is very secluded.

Banjir oh banjir

So long I never update my blog because due to my industrial training and also preparing my final industrial training report to send back to my university, now I already complete my final report and have time to start blogging again.

I met my first flooding during my drive back home after work. The flooding venue is Jln Duta near parliament building. The traffic that day I also have no idea why there were traffic jam start from the Sg besi army air base. The traffic is crawling along the way until the traffic became stagnant near the parliament building. The traffic remain stagnant for a long time makes me feel angry and uneasy and foul language start coming out from mouth scolding here and there (is a norm for unfolding foul language when driving in KL).

During my drive home at that day the sky was drizzling at the Sg Besi army base and the rain become very heavy along the way up to the parliament building. Then the truth unfold in front of me, gush of water flowing out of no where and in a short time no vehicle except heavy vehicle can go over. Moments after that heavy vehicle also cannot get across because of high water level. This flood block the all the traffic on both side. Since the traffic is stagnant I come out from the car and chit chat with other drivers. The flood come fast and also end fast, after some 5 minutes the water level begin to go low. I take this picture during my drive over the flood water and that time the water level is still quite high although the water level is subsiding and not much vehicle can cross over except heavy vehicle and 4WD vehicle. Thank god my vehicle is 4WD and with high ground clearance I can easily cross over and all the picture above I snapped it during the cross.

I see a rainbow!!!

dummies!!!

Finally I am allowed to take some picture with the dummies after a long time of training in a seat belt manufacturing company. The dummy you see in the first picture is a full human size dummy which weight 75 Kg but trust me that dummy need a full 3 men strength to move it and it does not seems like weighting 75 Kg. The price of tat dummy is shocking, by buying that dummy you actually can purchase a bungalow and still left with a lot of money. Calibration of that dummy cannot be done here and must send to oversea to do calibration and each calibration will cost over RM10K!! That dummy can simulate the actual body performance during a car crash and before the invention of dummy dead human body is actually used when car crash test is conducted, gruesome.

The dummy on the 2nd picture you see is a more simpler dummy without any sensors inside their body and still the price of the dummy you can purchase half of a bungalow. Car crash test is really indeed a money burning business.

Jalan Pasar

Jalan Pasar is also known as the electric and electronic street in KL. Anything from electrical appliances to electronic parts can be get here. If you cannot find electrical or electronic parts in this street that mean there is a big possibility the parts does not exists at all. Besides the above mention items in this street you can also buy concert electrical items such as big amp, concert grade mixer and concert grade big speaker. Besides that the price for all the items sell here is quite affordable due to there are many competitors located along this street. This street is also famous for another thing and that is fish. From gold fish to salt water fish you can get it all in this street. This street will only transform to fish street during Sunday but other day there is also will have vendor selling fish but the selection of fishes is not as many compare to Sunday.

There is also a illegal selling of fake medicine such as fake viagra or other medicine that claimed can provide long lasting sex drive for men. For your information please do not attempted or think of buying any of these medicine because all these medicine is fake and can bring harm to the body if consumed. Other than fake medicine the street also got a few road side stall that sell stolen object such as car audio set, cell phone and other thing, one piece of advice buy at your own risk.

As you can see there are 2 shop that I highly recommended if you guy want to buy thing because the shop provide a wide selection of electrical and electronic parts inside the shop. For me I love to buy thing from Darson this shop as can be seen on the picture above. Although there are a shabbier side of this street it is worth while to go venture during weekend because there is a lot of thing to see and experience :-)
