The mindset of Malaysian drivers III....(Updated)

This morning when I was driving to work on the Elite highway and Plus highway, I noticed the buses and lorries were very "obedient" on the road. None of the lorries and express buses were speeding, zig-zagging, tail gating and all the highway stunts. For the first time, I actually saw the express buses using the inner most (slow) lane!!!! It's a miracle....and they only overtake other vehicles when necessary....

I was shocked to see this and I thought I woke up in the wrong country!!!

This could be due to the news that recently shocked the entire nation...

Hopefully they'll remain like this forever and our highways and roads will be less dangerous.. They are back to the useless reckless way now..#!$#$@#

Just an update from the tragic incident:


Not guilty?? you must be kidding me.. So who's mistake is this? The innocent divider that is always on the road/highway which can't do anything but staying there 24/7 under extreme weather condition??? Come on....seriously...

The mindset of Malaysian drivers II


"10 killed in bus crash; Perak MB wants night express buses stopped"



This is nothing new in Malaysia and the dumb MB only wants night express buses to be stopped? What about the buses that travel in the morning??? He should take his car down the highway and experience it himself...our mighty F1 (Fucking Ones) bus drivers!!! (Sorry for the foul language here, can't help it...)

As far as I can tell, the morning buses are no different than the night buses in terms of speed and suicidal behaviour... The government should come up with a set of strict rules and punishment for those drivers that speed and drive recklessly on the road.
But then again, I wouldn't have high hopes on that.....

Spending my Christmas day at Starhill...

I started my Christmas day at Starbucks with a mug of hot chocolate and a piece of chocolate fudge...


Saw some dancing at Pavillion...

Went to KLCC to find some books...

And back again to Pavillion for lunch..(TGI Fridays isn't as good as Chillis)

The only thing that I want to talk about here is the movie Avatar (The sci-fi one, not the Avatar cartoon/animation). I would say "AVATAR" is the movie of the year. It has got the best CGs (increadibly stunning!!!!), good storyline and nice action in it. And it shows the true nature of the human race....(I feel ashamed now..)

If you haven't got the chance to watch it in the cinema, you should do it now...I mean now!!!

"Toruk Machto!!!!!"

The mindset of Malaysian drivers...

The "Malaysia Boleh" spirit is getting way out of hand, especially on the roads. Most Malaysian drivers think they are F1 drivers (drive like F1 drivers? Boleh...no problem...easy nia) and often speed, overtake, perform 90 or 360 degree turns or tail gating like crazy on highways and small narrow roads. Remember this:

"There is no glory at the end of the road, only sorrow"

Among them, the bus drivers are the worst. Lorry drivers came very close in second. I am a frequent user of the highway and I've never seen a bus driver (not mini bus here...the big express bus) driving slowly and steadily on the highway. They speed as fast as the F1 drivers too..no, maybe faster than Michael Schumacher or Kimi Räikkönen, with a much bigger toy...Moreover, they change lanes when they feel like it (sometimes overtaking other vehicles using the inner most lane then zoom diagonally to the fastest (3rd) lane...In other words, they drive as if they are the king of the roads and doesn't give shit about the lives of others. No other vehicles (except the big heavy tankers or lorry "balak" but they are slow, so not a problem) dare to challenge them because they know if their "proton" or other normal cars crashed into one of them, they would pay a heavy price. Unlike the bus drivers, they know that they will usually escape unharm (or slight injuries) in a collision..

Typical scene on a Malaysian road..vehicles stopping on the yellow box

We see news of accidents almost every day. Please, drive safely on the roads. If you are one of the drivers that love to race on the highways, please go to Sepang Circuit or get yourself a copy of Need for Speed. Don't involve other innocent road users. Remember your loved ones and others too...




"Unusual" rice @ Giant, Senawang

For your information, the hotplate stall in the food court at the Senawang Giant supermarket got an interesting dish...I called it "Boob Rice with chicken mushroom gravy"..(Not trying to be a sexist or what-so-ever here...just sharing some interesting stuff..)

Check it out...

PC Fair 2009 @ KL Convention Centre...

Hope to get some freebies there...ended up with a bunch of brochures....

All i can see are people walking around...where are the goods?

Author's feedback: Too many people squeezing into the small area..I see more butts and boobs than the computer products (Don't blame me or call me a pervert, they are the ones showing it to me blocking my view on the computer gadgets..what to do?) Price is similar to the ones in LowYat, maybe slightly cheaper, by a few ringgit if you are lucky, or a few cents just to make you happy..

Price is not really negotiable...I tried to ask for the DDR3 ram for 150 bucks (price tag 159). The promoter said ok, let me ask my boss first. He then turned around and started wrapping up the stuff which I thought I am darn bloody good at bargaining..In the end I paid RM 159 for the RAM..Promoter: Sorry la, boss say cheapest dy, cannot cut further....

One thing that I regret buying at the PC fair was a cooling fan for my laptop. Usually my laptop is fine without any fan, I just want to give my laptop a better treatment aka feeling cooler a bit..and guess what, my laptop shuts down itself (due to overheating) when i used the cooling fan...%#@$%@% (first time shutdown)
