My Worst Ever Bus Trip

How long it takes if we travel by express bus from Kuala Lumpur to Butterworth? Normally it only about 4 to max 5 hours only which depend on how long they stop for rest. Different company will have different 'pit stop' strategy (sounds like F1 huh...). Yesterday, I had a most terrible bus trip ever in my life... imagine, it's not peak season such as Chinese New Year or Hari Raya or Deepavali... but it tooks me 8 HOURS!!! to reach my hometown Butterworth, I was cursing non stop with the bus service. Let me tell you all the story...

As the petrol and diesel price gone up, I can't affort to drive my car alone back to my hometown unless if got another 2 passengers with me sharing the cost. I used to go back to my hometown once a month or 2 months time. Most of the time I'll travel by bus. Ok... last tuesday I went to Pudu Raya Station to buy the bus ticket, as usual I'll take Konsortium Bus, too bad.... all the buses for Friday evening fully booked and sold out!!! So I tried on other companies like Plusliner la... Super Nice la... and others I forgot the name already. Supprisingly, all of them sold out too!!! I was wondering any celebration or big day on this weekend? So I don't care and keep on looking other company, I don't take Transnasional because their seats are too small, uncomfortable and they stop too long for break, so it consumes lot of time. I still keep on looking... finally I manage to bought one for RM27...normally only RM23-25, but I don't care la since can't get any ticket. I forgot which counter I bought from, they told me wait at platform 23 and the bus company is P&O... number is 2999, bus will leave at 6.30pm. Then I was quite happy and went back home.

On friday... I reached Pudu Raya Station at 6.10pm, I straight headed to platform 23. My worst ever delayed time was 45 mins from the schedule due to traffic jam, that I don't blame the Bus because it's not their fault. This time... we all waiting till 7.30pm!!! And we still haven't seen our bus at all... I felt something was wrong that time, then suddenly the ticket sellers came and ask us to go out the station and take a replacement bus out there. Then I saw... it's totally different bus company, it's just a normal travel agent bus. During get into the bus, they allow woman who carried their baby and old people to go up first... then, I saw an Indian lady act like Schumacher potong Q like so scare will miss her seat. Come on la... the tickets were fix to the quantity of the bus seats. So I don't worry at all, I was standing the last one and let all the 'Desperado' go up first.

It's nearly to 8.00pm... the bus only started to move... I plugged on my earphone and listen to my MP3 songs and try to cool down myself with the situations. Then I fall sleep coz too tired. About 9.30pm I woke up then only I realised the bus going to stop out of the highway in Slim River... I started to cursing already... TiuNiaSeng!!!... this will stop at least 30 mins... wasting my time only. About 10.10pm only started to continue the journey. Everything look so fine until when we reached Juru tol at 1.00am!!! I don't what the hell they did over there, they just stop for no reason about 20 mins long!!! 1.20am... the bus started to move again, I was so relief... suddenly, I saw the bus like going towards to Penang Bridge!!! Damn!!! This is not right!!! I was asking the driver when I step in the bus and he double confirm me is to Butterworth and not Penang Island. How come this happened? Then I went to ask the driver again...

Me : Encik... bas ini bukan ke Butterworth ka?
Driver : Yah!!! Pergi ke pulau dulu baru pusing balik ke Butterworth la!
(I was damn angry that time)
Me : Eh!!! Mana boleh??!!! Tadi kata terus ke Butterworth tapi sekarang ke pulau, awak nak
tipu saya kah?
Driver : Kau ni jangan bising la, ramai penumpang nak ke pulau dulu tau???!!!
Me : Awak tau sekarang dah pukul berapa??? Kata nak bertolak pada 6.30pm tak jadi, dah
berapa jam lambat?!
(some passengers started making noise and support me, some offence me coz they wanna go to the island)
Driver : Hang pi duduk dulu la!!! Nanti akan sampai lah!!! (how rude)

Then I returned to my seat and call my parents to pick me up because no more public transport service after midnight. When reached the Penang Island, I counted only 7 passengers dropped at there, we still left more than 10 passengers in the bus! That driver really bluff me! Makachaocibai!!! I reached my home at 2.30am. Let's count on it...
6.30pm - 2.30am = 8 hours!!! (28/7/06 - 29/7/06)
8 hours = KL to B'worth to KL again!!!
8 hours = Johor to B'worth!!!
Really mother fucker the Express Bus companies now days, Government always mentioned will upgrade our public transport after increased the fuel price, but what I see it's getting worst and even more worst!!!

I'm not express this feeling for myself, I felt it's really pity to those mother carrying their baby, old people, pregnant woman, disable people... they really suffered alot by travelling with this kind of bus service!!!

Joke With The 'L'

Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about L license, it's all about name of fruits. Pass few days I was joking with some friends to name out all the fruits which start with L alphabet. They really have a good sense of humour and say out all the fruits name such as...

6. Lapple (this one I laugh till stomachache... Apple la)
7. Langgis (manggis la oik!)
8. Lorange (hahaha... again , orange add with L)
9. Langka (sound like Sri Langka... lol... Nangka la)
10. Lembikai (they really have tongue problems... Tembikai it means)
11. Lapes (Grapes become Lapes.... wakakakaka)

13. Laibina (Ribena drink... they said can count in coz made from fruits also)
14. Lanana (wahahaha... it's Banana)

What Happen to Our Music Industry?

Talent??? What is talent??? Can anyone tell me? I don't really understand it well, maybe my english is too bad... yes I am. I'm just a dude from chinese education background and trying to improve my english.

Ok... forget about language matter, now we talk about music matter... I'm a heavy music freak, without music I'll be mad... or maybe can die. No Music No Life!!! (Sorry to Tower Records coz I copy your slogan). To me music is like an art, without the passion and talent you can't do it well. I'm really sad and disappointed with the musics industry for the present day, it looks more to the outlook packages than the ingredient. For examples some reality shows on musics, it doesn't provide any quality of the music, but only generate more oppotunity on advertisements only.

Now we can hear from everywhere people are so crazy talking about Malaysian Idol la... Akademi Fantasia la... One in a Million la... Astro Talent Show la... I'm getting sick on it!!!

(Malaysian Idiot)

(Oh no!!! Mawi again... oik u all!!! Not bored one meh?)


(Sure or not? The SMS u all vote make them earn more than a million la oik!)


(who are they? new drama series?)

I don't really can accept these all reality show concept at all, ok... let's say every competition will have judges to give the points and comments, but all of this reality show results are based on SMS vote. So what the hack? Is that the person good looking will win it? I guess so... I did watched some of it before and the results really disappointed me and I felt really unfair to the contestants which really have talent but were burried with no reason. I suggest the coming reality shows don't need to have judges in the show... let the audiance become the judges ok?

Normally the winner will be over-promoted in everywhere. As we can see in the TV now... I can tell you every commercial break I can see Mawi's face is on the commercial. What the hell is that? Sorry to all Mawi supporter, to me I don't see any talent he has, his singing still can't beat any legend singer in our own country as well. So where are the other reality shows' winner gone? I can't recall who they are... Obviously... it's unfair promotion treatment.

Anyone of you got think about what will happen to our music industry in future if this reality shows rule the music world? I can tell you it's getting worst!!! Now days I rarely tune on my radio listen to radio stations. The musics really hurt my ear and destroy my brain! I can only hear all the pop songs and now very famous with hip-hop la... rap la... I don't what kind of these musics. Malaysian government always ban rock musics, they think that rock musics always link to drugs, sex and violent. Wake up man!!! Look at the hip-hop or rap music videos... see what they showed???!!!

I wonder why the people here must follow the style of living from the music videos? Music just a music, nothing related with the video content. Now you can see most of the youngster like to copycat the way of talking, behaviour, clothes from the videos.. come on la!!! BE YOURSELF!!! Are you lost your own identity??? I'm a hardcore rocker, but everyone will think I'm more on sentimental type, because I don't follow the outlook which full of tattoo, wild sex, taking drugs. I just be myself and just enjoy the music!!!

Cheers to Classic Rocks, Jazz, Blues, Country, Classical musics!!!

Goodbye Syd Barrett... :(

This morning when I drove my car to work, suddenly I heard a shocking and bad news from radio said that Syd Barrett has passed away!!! At 1st I can't believe it... I thought the DJs were kidding because they like to joke early morning show. Then I heard their voice also sound gloomy... I shouted in my heart... SHIT!!! After that they played a song by (Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here) on air... this song was specially written by Pink Floyd to dedicate Syd after he left the band. I was holding my tears so bad when listen to it... this song really touching.

I remember last year at Live8... Pink Floyd reunion to perform on the concert, when they play 'Wish You Were Here'... Roger Waters stand front and said... "It's actually quite emotional, standing up here with these three guys after all these years. Standing to be counted with the rest of you. Anyway, we're doing this for everyone who's not here, particularly, of course for Syd." Well... that was the most touching moment for everyone.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond... Syd. His death is a major loss to the music community. Whitout you, there is no Pink Floyd... without Pink Floyd, there is no great music in this planet... without music, there is no more life to me.

Roger Keith 'Syd' Barrett


Nick Mason, Syd Barrett, David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Richard Wright
(Pink Floyd)

....and I am not
frightened of dying, any time will do,
I dont mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
Theres no reason for it, youve gotta go sometime.
I never said I was frightened of dying....

- The Great Gig In The Sky - Pink Floyd -

Shine On You Crazy Diamond... by Pink Floyd

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught in the cross fire of childhood and stardom,
blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter, come on you stranger,
you legend, you martyr, and shine!

You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter,
you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

Nobody knows where you are
How near or How Far
Shine on You crazy Diamond

How more many more layers
Will there be drawn in you there
Shine on You crazy in Diamond

And we'll bask in the shadow
Of Yesterday's triumph
Sail on the steel breeze
Come on you butcher, you winner and loser, you miner of truth and delusion
And shine!

Thank you Syd... Goodbye Syd...

Who's The Idiot Driver/Car?!!!

Now days I'm damn tulan with the car's horn around the place I stay here, every evening I can hear some stupid + idiot + uncivilised drivers will keep on press their car horn, not only that... some will press on it non stop for more than 10 sec. As I living in KL which is concrete jungle in this contry, the sound surrounding the buildings will not transfer out easily. Why they never consider the residents nearby? How about for the babies, old people? This action really is a phsycological abuse to us. I really scolded TiuNiaSeng or Fuck!!! But I can't do anything about it, just only sacrifice my body cel.

Ok... maybe they can't wait their turn to move because of some emergency such as... give birth? lao sai? rushing go home for sex? late for date?... bla bla bla... I don't care. Besides that, the double parking also cause the car can't go out from parking lot, the car owner will keep on press the horn until the car who blocked them move away. I wonder what the hell of City (Shitty) Hall doing... why they never enforce the parking offenses here? Police Traffic also never take any action about it. Let's put in this way for those have to make double parking... why not just put a notice at the windscreen so they can be contacted easily, or they not to pull their hand-break so the car can be push away and let other car to come out. Some of them will park for hours and don't know where they went... really Kannineh right?. For me I hate to use car horn unless to warn somebody is unaware of possible accident or dangerous situations.

Alright... finish about car horn, now I wanna talk about car alarm... many of car owner do not aware that their car alarm were triggled when they not around. Imagine at night time, the car alarm triggled non stop till next morning... how to sleep like that? I have to wake up at 6.30am every morning for work and if this happened... I'll be like dead man during working hour, really macipiak!!! When the battery totally run out, the car couldn't start, then the owner will cry father cry mother (kao pek kao boh). There are some reasons that cause the car alarm triggle... car thief, car door never close properly, low battery, too sensitive or circuit board gone wrong? For the too sensitive type alarm, if lightning happen... the alarm will triggle. Not only that... if got any car exhaust too loud pass by... the alarm will triggle too. Sometimes I really feel wanted to go down and wack the windscreen... open the car hood and cut the alarm wirem, but I never did that... only cursing on the car owner. I think everyone here did the same thing as me.

I don't know why now days so many car owner like to modify their car exhaust to racing type exhaust which really loud. I wonder how they can tahan the sound... Come on la... all the car racers also need to use ear plug to plug into their ears during the race, are they deaf or already dead? Even my new Proton Iswara Aeroback come with original sport type exhaust which approved by JPJ... but I still can't stand with the sound noise when I drove back from KL to Penang... it really makes me headache, so I went to change to the normal type of exhaust that I feel more comfortble with it.

I don't see any road in Malaysia can drive more than 110 km/h, why these people like to modify to sport type exhaust and have illegal racing during late night. They think they can win over Michael Schumacher or Alonso or Kimi Raikonnen? See see they may end up like Arton Senna... I really cursed them when I heard the noise when I was sleeping. Everytime I'll wait some 'bang' sound during the illegal race... so I'll run down and laugh on them. I wonder what happen to JPJ and Police Traffic again... how can they over look about it? Or they already 'kao tim' each other? Fuck it!!!

Ok... that's enaugh for the car sound pollution, actually I was waken up by an idiot car's exhaust sound and followed by car alarm... really macibai, tiuniaseng, makachaohai!!!

Finally... The End Of My Lecture

It's 12.15pm and finally I woke up after watching World Cup 2006 quarter final match between Argentina vs Germany (I nearly get heart attack as I always support Germany) and Italy vs Ukraine. I felt so lazy to get up as I still felt blur... suddenly I recalled... Hey!!! It's my final day lecture after struggled about 5 years for my part time degree in Civil Engineering at UTM. So I quickly jump up and get myself ready for my final lecture. As usual my lecture only on weekend... Saturday from 2pm till late evening and Sunday from 8.30am till 4pm. Imagine I was doing for this past 5 years without own sweet time for weekend.

I was just right on time reached my campus... usually I'll late at least 30 mins... hahaha. As living in KL always battle with the traffic, I never reach on time for my lecture. When I entered the lecture hall... I was so motivated, I manage to pay attention for the whole day lecture, amazing! Some of my classmates they knew It's my final lecture and came to me and congrat me as they still have few semester to go. At the final hour of the lecture... my lecturer gave us a open book test, then my lecturer wanted to leave earlier, so he decided to ask us pass it by post, but I was managed to finish it on time and pass it up, supprisingly... I was the 1st person who pass it up.

So... it's time for the lecture dismiss... suddenly I felt so hard feeling to leave the lecture hall, I suppost to feel happy but I do not have it on that time, I know I'll miss the moment together with my classmates, lecturers... now I just waiting for my final exam on 9th July 2006 which is World Cup 2006 final match too... what a date! But my exam is on morning, the final match is on midnight.

Now... I don't know what I gonna do after this, maybe I'm use to have 'no life' for my entire 5 years. I think I'll gonna spend my lazy weekend after this... I don't think I gonna further to Master level anymore as my vitmain M (Money) is damn dry up due to part time studying... part of it I really feel tired already. Maybe it's time for me to get a life partner? I don't know... I leave it on fate.

So... goodbye UTM... I really appreciate on my parents who support me, thanks to my classmates who share the work together and my lecturers.
