Seriously! This post is written in KL, Malaysia and uploaded to Blogger via Screamyx. Can't you feel the locality on the contents in my previous 2 posts? So, y'all can start CALLing or SMSing me on my local line anytime, I swear upon my blog that I will definitely layan your calls and reply your SMSes.
So, what are you waiting for? Contact ME! I'm more than available for movies, shopping, yum chas, lunch dates, parties, celebrations, dinner dates and all that! And this is not an AD of anysort, thank you.
Anyway, can you believe that it has been more than 10 months since I last stepped into the KL office? So much has changed, areas partitioned, re-arrangements, re-structurings, new employees but still same old dumb PCs. I'm currently using a machine with P3 processor with 512MB RAM, so yeah, laugh all you want.
As how Jen puts it, that's a DPU (Dumb Processing Unit) I'm using. The next thing I know, I might just be carrying a CPU from Singapore to KL, LOLS but of course I won't.
Salvation is finally here. There's finally chinese food (mixed rice and kueh-muehs) in Plaza Sentral's cafeteria but everything comes with a price, its quite expensive if you ask me. I was charged RM5 for rice, 2 type of vegetables and a few tiny cubes of chicken breast.
How to survive in KL you tell me, earn more then spend more since everything costs more. I should just move to some seaside village and spend the rest of my life fishing, planting vegetables and rearing chickens, should be able to self-sustain. Sigh.
Moving on, it has also been a while since I last drove to KL during the morning hour rush and needless to say, it was ABSOLUTELY. TOTALLY. HORRENDOUS. The mission to find an alternative to Loke Yew failed, even though that route was less congested, it was much further hence, taking about the same time to reach Plaza Sentral.
Speaking of congestion, we have a new Menteri Pengangkutan (Datuk Ong Tee Keat) as well as a new Menteri Kerja Raya (Datuk Ir. Mohamad Zin Mohamed) as stated in the new cabinet line-up. Hopefully, we'll be able to see more improvements and not tolls, in these sectors.
But then again, what can actually be done to ease the current congestion that KL-lites is facing? Road widening? Alternative routes and highways? Tunnels? Extensive public transportations? Cheaper fares? The real question is, will these implementations really help?
I guess I'll leave this for another time, there's so much to say about it that this deserves a post of its own.
And parking. From a mere RM3 last year, then to RM5 and now, its RM6 per entry but bear in mind that this only applies for early birds (before 10am), else, the charges' according to per hour rates. As a victim, I am able to show you just how ridiculously expensive the rates are.
On Monday, I entered the parking area at 11.52am and exited at 6.38pm, want to guess how much I had to pay? Freaking RM 13.00! Open air car park + potholes + slightly flooded roads + 6 hours 46 minutes = RM13.00. I almost fainted.
Then, the journey home was equally horrendous. Sometimes, I wonder how the drivers in KL obtain their licenses. Some of them should just eat shit and die.
Ah, I think I've said enough for today, guess I still haven't lose that ranting touch in me. Remember to call me out yah!

hahaha rm13.00 parking u making such a big noise. My worst experience now is i parked for 4 hrs and it caused me 30USD.
Fremon -really? tat's happen when u travel to US issit?
Eh, hello! Don't compare with other countries lah! You park in Disneyland ah, so expensive.
You know what we really need? Footpaths. Not the stupid 3-inch wide strips of cement we currently have now but proper FOOTPATHS, that enables us to walk safely from Selangor Dredging to KLCC for lunch instead of driving the 500 meters.
Selangor Dredging? I like that idea but the next thing we know, the footpaths would most probably be overridden by motorcyclists trying to avoid the congested roads.
