LCCT....

..

...is Looks Cheap Cheap Terminal but it is NOT.


A taxi ride from LCCT to KLIA main building cost RM32.20 only, and this is BUDGET.

Maybe they slap me with a surcharge... as I woke the lady up from sleeping, while manning the coupon counter. The time of the ticket issued is... 06:40:10 am.




... what next?

"Papa is busy.. go ask your mummy!!!"

..

I was on the way back from Bagan Lalang with my family during the Raya Haji outing

Passed through Banting town and had to stop at one of the traffic lights.

Something caught my children's attention and they asked me... "Pa... what are P K S R E E O M K K M B E O O A L I I H means..... "

I said "Huh..."

They replied louder "P K S R E E O M K K M B E O O A L I I H"

I looked at where they pointed and they came from some banner... by the roadside and damm... I have no idea.. what they are!

Thought that this will be one of those question that any dad would say...

"Papa is busy.. go ask your mummy!!!"


I had to scrap the thoughts... as it is not good for the child developments...

I pretend I could not find the sign... and they repeated the words... almost shouting in the car

"P K S R E E O M K K M B E O O A L I I H"



DO you know what they are? Answer will be posted in due course.

Another tail story...!

..


Weird... I found another tail.... this time, it is not on my friend but on a vehicle. A small lorry to be exact.

This lorry is going about 100kmh and is attempting to overtake the big (blue) lorry.




This picture was taken on the NKVE while I was on my way to my-inlaws' house.

This is nothing to any vehicles except for bikers....

Imagine if the 'tail' hits a biker... I am sure that this is painful... and the biker may be lose control of his bike... yikes... dangerous.


.... I overtook and alerted the lorry driver about this.

I wonder how this lorry has the tail....

Taken a picture of one of the dried leave....



...see, the size of the leave.... gigantic size. This is not your backyard bamboo plant..

Outback Jakarta!

During my Jakarta trip, I was taken to a shopping mall called Pondok Indah Mal for lunch. If you were there, you will be surprised with the shopping mall.... so like.... you are not in Jakarta... once inside the mall... it is a different world by itself..




We had a meeting lunch at an American outlet called Outback Steakhouse...


blah blah blah... finished ordering and we continued with the discussion...


First, came the ice lemon tea.... and we continued to blah blah blah..


The discussion turned into an argument... and nearly the whole restaurant could hear us...


About 10 minutes after the argument started, the waitress served this on the table...




.... and the argument ended almost instantly and we all laugh.

I just took this picture, before anyone has the chance to touch the knife... therefore, excuse me for the poor quality.... lighting is also bad in there.


Note:

No one was hurt in the writing of this blog.

Ladies Parking....

I was in Jakarta yesterday, and just touch down KLIA 15 minutes ago and will be catching another flight to Kuching.

Nothing exciting from the trip, except for the famous traffic jam and this sign board found in the vicinity of the hotel I was staying...



Now.... interpret this yourself!

Going beyond expectations.....

I received this among some bills today:


After a first glance, I nearly throw this away... at the moment before it went directly into wastepaper bin, I have a 'funny' feeling... something in me urged me to open this.

So I open this. This is what I get:

.. a little more special.... like what?


.... and a cover letter:


Damn... must be one of those marketing brochures, again. I hate those letters, just eating up my already limited time.

Hang on!... This looks different so I read on:


..hey, this letter just made my day! After all these trips, collecting miles... they finally remember me!


This is what they sent me:



... and two stickers to get the porter services at the airport. Hmm.... I do not need these stickers. I wonder why they gave me two.... one in front and one at the back?




Anyway, I was at cloud nine for 1.5 minutes.... err.. what does this card does....


This is what I gather after a quick surfing....


Access to Malaysia Airlines Golden Lounges

wah.... food... more food.. I can eat the world most expensive nasi lemak!

Priority Wait-listing

I like this... I have the licence to jump queue...... not bad!

Priority Baggage Handling
..they will still 'throw' my baggage out from the plane but before yours.

Extra Baggage Allowance
... this is good if I want to do shopping... sigh.. must not inform wife about this.

First Class or Golden Club Class Check-in
... the queue at these counter is short... or no queue at all.

Telephone Check-in
... nothing useful, unless I am late to the airport.

Travelling Companion Benefits
... my travelling buddy is invited to join me eating the most expensive nasi lemak!


..more information: click this



Who are they....




...yeah right. Going beyond expectations.....



Hey Tony... you have anything like this ar?

Just me..

Today... I am pulling one of the old memories and share it with you.

This is a fighter jet. Pictures taken from.... hmmm classified. Just say, this is Priority 1 area.


Well, there is nothing special about pictures of jet fighters.



If you count correctly, there are 11 of these jets.



Please, this is an original picture taken. No photoshop or such, except the writings.


This is the nearest I can go to have my pictures taken with the jets. If I crossed the yellow lines, I will be shot on sight!! Seriously, yes. This is not a joke.


If you look closely, I am wearing a BIG identification tag... the 'authority' will arrest anyone without this tag loitering around this area.


Now where was I?

Those were the days!

Feng Shui....



This is a picture of a peacock or peafowl or Pavo cristatus or what ever you may want to call it.


Such a beautiful creature....

Everyone knows what it is, and may also seen them before. Some of us here, may actually own one. According to the wiki, some of us here, may had eaten the meat before.. gross... I can't imagine that. Somehow, I have my own reservation, eating such a beautiful creature. Anyone taste this before...?


Well, today it is not about food. It is not about it's habitat, but today I am going to write about how this fella, how it helps me in my daily life.

Acording to my wife's Feng Shui Master, '... put a few of the peacock's feather in the car to avoid accident... blah blah blah...'

So, obediently she got me to get this and kept it in my car. This was some time ago... and I still have it in my car! To be exact, it is on the dashboard, right in front of the driver seat. Thanks to the Master or to God or to whom it may concern, I am still ok!




Until now, or more accurate until yesterday evening, I did not see any car with these peacock feathers on the road.... only mine. Mine only, and I am alone, doing what the Feng Shui master says...

I always have this impression in my mind; anyone looking at my car, will notice the feathers and start to think... 'This guy must be a lunatic... feather also want to keep in the car!"

Yesterday, while driving home.... I found another 'lunatic...... ' driving a Jaguar... wow, not bad. Even the owner of the Jaguar is keeping these in the car.



The only different is that the feathers in the Jag is much longer that mine.. and I have no problem with that. Everyone is unique...



Now, I have a mind boggling issue... put in front to avoid frontal accident. Put at the back to avoid backside accident.... hehe

Which part should I save... my front or my backside?

My car can sail on water!!

I have a problem with the Nokia Maps (or the GPS software).

According to the map, the road is located somewhere in the sea! No joke see it for yourself!




.. the red dot is where I am, and I am driving my car!



I am driving (Sailing!)

I am driving, I am driving,
in my car 'cross the country.
I am driving, no near the waters,
to be near you, to be free.

I am driving, I am driving,
like a driver 'cross the road.
I am driving, passing some trees,
to be with you, to be free.

Can you see me, can you see me
thro' the day light, not far away,
I am crying, forever trying,
to be with you, what to say.

Can you hear me, can you hear me,
thro' the dark night far away.
I am trying, no longer crying,
to be with you, who can say.

We are driving, we are driving,
home again 'cross the road.
We are driving stormy seaside,
to be near you, to be free.

Oh food, to be near you, I am hungry.
Oh food, to be near you, I am hungry,
Oh food.
