What other transportation do we have?

Mid of October, toll has gone up... What our lovely government said the increment is to encourage people to use public transport and ease the traffic jam. 

Now, public transport (train, bus and taxi) are going to increase... what would the government said this time? Let's use bicycle as we have build a nice bicycle track along the Klang River... LoL~ 

So now what would be our next alternate transportation for city of potholes? 

Could it be what you see in the picture...  

Why this could be an alternative transportation soon... cause in the country where you will find this type of transportation is that the other mean of public transport is NOT affordable...

 

Just guess how many people can fit into this small little car?

Hazy? Misty?... Are disaster and raining days coming?

How do you feel if you sit travel on the boat and you hardly can see where are you heading, no visibility like the picture...

Worry?

Confuse? 

Insecure due to cannot see things clearly in front?

Hopefully nothing bad will happen? 

Keep praying?

A lot of unknown... 

So this could describe what happen and how i felt after hearing the Budget 2016. What will be Malaysia future? How are we going to survive with the hazy government, spending like water yet telling everyone we have money constraint.... hardly can see plan to fix the Ringgit dropping... So what do you think? 

After the hazy day... once you can see, it might have been the raining and disaster days... So let's prepare ourselves and get ready for the disaster and raining day in ahead of us eh~ 

Will Metropolitan Kuala Lumpur become city of NO WATER?

In this hot and dry season, what is the scarcity resources... Yes! it's water...

Rain in a tropical country is a normal event but recently mother nature stop dropping the water and we have not getting any rain for the past few weeks. The water level in the reservoirs are dropping tremendously. I was worry about no water in City of Kuala Lumpur a.k.a city of potholes but today my worry came true... That's was NO WATER in my condo unit as i tried to wash my hand. Not a single drop of water...

Our lovely government has done a very BAD job in this disaster. They did not announce their plan earlier or should i say they don't have the plan upfront until the water level in the reservoirs drop to the danger level... Now, to conserve as much water as possible for future, they have no choice but stopped the supply of water immediately. Not sure who is the adviser, consulted our lovely government to stop when they think it's critical to stop. I bet many of us would have been shouted at the lovely government for not giving early notice for us to keep some water.

As my FB friend said, " This is another project of Barison National (BN)"  If you hope our lovely government will help us... "slow slow wait"
So, now what should we do?

1. Pray for the mother nature to drop the rain again. 
2. Learn the rain dance from the native to entertain the god and make them delight to give us some rain
3. Shower in the gym... now need to know which outlet has water and which outlet got impacted. (Anyone can help?)
4. Contact friend to look at whether can pop over to their house to do whatever needed.

Any of you have any better idea?

I got another name for our lovely city, Kuala Lumpur... City of NO WATER... muhahaha...    

Mom, What is #Kangkung?

I was holding the lift for this family of 5 people with 2 little kids and a baby. There was a very young girl asking a lot of questions before coming into the lift... blah blah blah. 

While we were going up to each of our selected floor... 

Girl : Mom, what is Kangkung? 

Mom: The vegetable that Najib eat.  *I wanted to laugh out loud but....

I was laughing inside... I was like what? Did Najib really eat Kangkung in front of the media? Or this is what the mother meant when she answer her daughter.

I googled on "Najib Makan Kangkung" @ the image tab.... there were no Najib ate Kangkung photo except this. So,  I bet 99% the mother meant this... cute mom eh~

Hey folks the Kangkung price has shoot up... now should we asked our lovely PM what would be the next vegetable that government will lower the price? 

Kangkung a.k.a Water Spinach

you may call this joke of the week, Joke for easing Monday Blues, or Joke of the day... When every single creative way of expression on KANGKUNG made me ROTFL. 

This is what happen?

Our lovely Malaysian Prime Minister use Kangkung to express his view and comment on the price hike    on all the price like Petrol, Toll and staple food in Malaysia. This has cause the nation not happy with what his decision. 

In one of the event, he told the public as Malaysian we only complain the price of goods raise and no one actually say thanks to the government when a price of Kangkung dropped recently. It's not fair... Something like that. 

So few hours after his statement... The Facebook flooded with all kind of jokes about Kangkung...  here is one of the example regarding the joke about McKangkung...

Anyway, we know the year 2014 might be a tough year for Malaysia but one word i would like to share with every Malaysian Reader... Enjoy~

Jonker Street Night Market

Week before I visited Malacca
First is Sultan Street in Kuala Lumpur... Now Jonker Street in Malacca. What next? Terengganu ChinaTown? or Johor Bahru oldest temple? Could you please respect the culture and heritage... This group of people whom made the decision can be categories as no culture, barbarian and uncivilized... Don't you know how to appreciate and respect the diversity.  

What is our lovely government thinking? Jonker walking street on Friday, Saturday are one of the main attraction for tourist from around the world to visit this walking street. It has brought a big profit to the state as it's one of the biggest walking street in Malaysia. Why killed it?

Lovely Malacca government gave a lame excuse of by shutting down the walking street it will help to ease the traffic... hey how much traffic can you ease the street is so narrow and can only let one car cross at one time. Moreover the government used how many millions to build the big highway and bridge to connect the  old town with the other side. So i suspect must be having some hidden agenda...

Anyway, it's sad to see this attractive street die down at night and what to do in Malacca at night for a weekend escape without the walking street... Sigh~

Last weekend @ Jonker Street - Business as usual

But there is no official statement saying the street will NOT re-open for traffic on Friday, Saturday. So what would be the fate of the Jonker Street Night Market. Yet to know...

Haze in Kuala Lumpur (June 24th 2013)

After Malaysian famous blackout magic to make something appear from nowhere... Now, there is another magic to make the world famous icon Petronas Twin Tower disappeared...

Now you see it, now you don't...

Sunday Morning (June 23rd 2013)

Monday Morning (June 24th 2013)

Our lovely government has declared no school day on Monday i.e. today. Why can't they just do something to stop the situation? Are they not capable?

Dear PM, this is what you can do?

1. Declare all school close for a day
2. Declare State of emergency for those place API higher than 500
3. Do cloud seeding and hope for rain.

If this is what you can do, i think everyone in Malaysia would have the capability to become PM... maybe they could do better than this... Our lovely PM, can you represent the nation to solve the root cause not just provide us this lousy temporary solution? Super disappointed!!! Maybe this is the different between self appointed leader and highly elected leader from the nation.

Looking at Singapore our neighbor, their DOE minister went over to Jakarta to discuss on resolution... their PM talked in the national TV and discuss the plan to get this haze resolve... but our lovely country DOE and PM. No Sight!!!... just report out the API and advice the nation. Drink more water eh~, wear masks eh~, collect masks from hospital eh~, don't eat heaty food eh~  and don't exercise outdoor eh~ etc... 

How long do you think this solution can last? Please do something on the root cause not just temporary solutions... START the parliament session and discuss how to get the HAZE issue resolved LAH~
