The curse of the earphone!

Back in last week Saturday, I & my bro went to lowyat plaza to have some shopping (Great, my money is gonna flow away from my wallet again T_T). I'm planing to buy 2 earphones, the first one is for my handphone. It is a single sided earphones, it is for convinience use and to keep my handphone far away from damaging my PRECIOUS biological form CPU (my brain).

Another one will be using for listening music during working or any other personal usage.

When to lowyat plaza by KTM-->Sentral-->Monorail. It was 1.00 p.m. as usual....bought my KTM ticket from the lame dirty KTM ticket machine. Piak piak...chiiiitt chiit ticket come out..

Waited for 30 minutes, becos we just missed one KTM train. (It is very frustrating to see the KTM closing its door when u are waiting the ticket machine to print the ticket slowly! Piak piak chiit chiiitt). Wish if the train can wait for us a little longer.


Reached Sentral....have a short walk to monorail station which sit outside Sentral....shouldn't it be inside Sentral?....( We have to walk becos our goverment employ the architects/engineers that FAIL to understand the concept of convinient & practicality. THEY had FAIL!)



Reached monorail station, bought my ticket from human( no more slow printing machine this time.) This time we were just lucky enough, the monorail train is waiting for us instead of we chasing for it. :P

wait..

wait...

and wait...

the monorail doesn't seem to close its door, and there are more and more passengers coming in, trying to sqeeze themselves into the monorail train. Things started to get very pack. I feel like I'm becoming a ultra-dense sandwich inside there. Ewww! it's stinks,...full of smell and hot.

Wish if the train can start running for a little earlier.


Finally the train has start running, ........reached lowyat b4 3pm. Got ourselves to second floor. and bought my first earphone for RM15. (my bro was accompanying me only) Yet another RM15 go to drain. T_T...sob

------------The curse of the earphone!---------------

Then we when to $ri C0mput@r (u know which computer store, I dont want to type the exact name here, dont want any trouble), thinking to buy the earphone.

I saw one panasonic earphone, cost about RM55. I am thinking to buy one good earphone so I dont have to worry anymore in the future.

Bought the thing....@ RM55, (At the same time my money minus RM55) then we went for a walk arround lowyat plaza.....get myself into @ll IT hyperm@rket. SHOCKED! they are selling RM49 only! OMG! I got conned for RM6. Most of the time @ll IT hyperm@rket is selling things/parts more expensive than any other shop in lowyat. But this time they are the ones who sell cheaper. RM6 is a LOT to me! $ri C0mput@r U conned me! U are a pirate! U FAIL!



I will never buy things from u in the future.

Ways to get the most benefit out of ur petrol.

Due to the recent USA and Iran event. The price of the petrol is touching $73 US dollar.

1. Pumping petrol in the morning.

When u pump petrol, u could smell the petrol. This is because the petrol is vaporizing. The more petrol is vaporise, the lesser petrol in ur car oil tank. Petrol is very easy to vaporise, pumping petrol in a hot weather is not recommended, because u wont get most petrol out of what u pay for. The tempeture in the morning is normally colder than afternoon. colder environment = lesser petrol vaporise. So it would be wiser to pump ur petrol in the morning.

2. Pumping petrol at a slower rate.

As what has explained , when u pump petrol, there are some petrol vaporise. Pumping petrol in a slower rate can reduce this also. Take an example, when u pour hot water very fast into a cup, u will see a lot of water vapor come out, but when u pour at a slower rate, u get lesser water vapor. So pump ur petrol at a slower rate.


3. Do not carry unecessary items in ur car.

If u watch formula 1, weight is one of the important factor to determine how fast and fuel efficient ur car can run. Extra items = extra weight for ur car = extra fuel consumption.

4. Do not pump petrol when ur tank is not empty.

Normally a car has a fuel tank that is capable to contain 60~80litre of petrol. Every litre of petrol carries a weigth. Weight affects ur fuel consumption as explained earlier. I do come into many situations where people like to refill petrol even their car still have 20 to 50% petrol left.

Petaling Street part 2: The Street DVD seller.

Back then, a few weeks ago.(Dont bug me just because I'm writing a story that is few weeks ago).

It was a nice sunny Friday. (and hot also) I had a 2 wee hours break due to the Bumis have to go for sembayang. So I went to Petaling Street to have my fantastic VeGeTaRiAn meal.

Usually when you come to Petaling street, you will come over a white DBKL truck that always park right next to the Petaling street "China Town" sign.

As you all already know, the purpose of this silly truck is to allow DBKL to have a mobile office there, so that they will always be there to catch pirated DVD sellers. (There are also a few DVD shops inside the S&M building and Kotaraya across the road selling pirated DVDs. But our DBKL "Swat" team doesn't seems to bother them at all. It is strange that why the law enforcer only take care petaling street but never to those outside Petaling street. )

As mentioned earlier, it was Friday, and our "Software Raiders" are not there to catch those DVD sellers. Probably because they also went for praying.

This was the first time I saw Truck was not there.Guess what happen next when I walk into petaling street? I can saw all the DVD sellers started to setup their mini stalls and starting selling DVD openly.

There is a term to describe this scenario, "When the Cat is not here, the mice come out to cari makan."

End of my story.
