I fixed my bike!

Last Sat,

I bring my bike to a bicycle shop to fix becos the gear shifters and the brakes were spoiled. I need to replace both of these. While my bike is fixing, I went to test 2 mountain bikes, RM880 and RM980. Both of them come with a front suspension. Both of them come with SRAM deraileur. (A Deraileur is a mechanic tool that change the gear) The Rm980 moutain bike is slightly better to ride, but the Rm880 one look more stylish. I personally like the Rm880 one.

Do I want to buy the bike? No. Because it is too expensive.

It cost me about RM118 to fix my bike, thats not very cheap. Becos the gear shifter alone cost me RM80++. After I got my bike fixed, I tried it; the gear shifter and the brake is very responsive. Now my bike is as good as a new one and I enjoy cycling almost everyday :D

KTM : The Driver Seat!

18th July 2006, It was boring Tuesday. I got back from work, taking KTM @ around 6.15pm~6.30pm at Bank Negara station. (I couldn’t remember the exact time, because I was rushing back to home) The no. of passengers was slightly more than usual. I wondered and ask around, according to one of the passenger I asked, there was no train since 5.15p.m. because KTM face some technical problems @ Serdang Station, which has disrupted the Seremban-to-Rawang KTM commuter traffic flow.

But then my wait for the KTM departure wasn’t long. It was only just a short while after I bought my KTM ticket. The first KTM train was so pack, I knew I will not able to get in at all. So I decided to wait for the second one, which SHOULD be arrive about 5 minutes later. (According to the KTM timer) But then I saw a guy opened the cockpit door and go in the first train cockpit. I start thinking …. “Oh great, if I cannot get up the next train, I might follow this guy’s approach, open the cockpit door @ the tail of the KTM and go in. Who cares anyway, all I want is to get back home as soon as possible”

Then the second train come, I opened the door and go in the cockpit. O_o

When I got myself inside, I quickly take the driver seat. (Base on my ultra-intelligent Brain, it BETTER to sit than standing :P) Inside the cockpit I saw a lot of funny buttons/control panels, communication devices, meters and etc. The buttons and controls come with simple labels, so u can pretty much guess what’s this button for and what’s the other one do, but some of them have no labels, so I cannot figure out what’s its function. (Unless I go and press it, errr…NO I don’t do that!) Then there is a pedal next to my foot, I firmly step on it (it is just a little only, doesn’t really count as step at all). Why? Because I want to make sure this thing is press able, I don’t want to accidentally press this thing when the train is running. As for what is it use for? Only GOD knows its function, but my guess it is a brake pedal.

“So does sitting on the driver seat make u feel like you are driving a KTM train?”
Well I can say yes and no also, just that it gave me the feeling that I’m “driving” in backwards. *cough!

“And how's the experience when the first time you are inside the cockpit?”
Well it is not really special at all, very normal only, but then it is a nice experience because at least you know how the KTM cockpit looks like. :D

So when people ask “Do know how's the train cockpit looks like?”
Well yes, I “think” I know!
“Have u drive a train before?”

Errrr, I’d .…thhhhink… I can be consider I “Drive” before. :P

Adsenseing my blog.

Many of u guys may wonder why my blog come out so many google ads. This is because I had intergrate Google Adsense into my blog, it allows my blog to generate very little income for me when my blog reader clicks anyone of those ads everytime. This includes the google search bar.

The income generated may be very little. But it is better than nothing, u know every cent counts in billy's eyes. From now on every time my reader clicks my ads with a diff IPs or when my reader use the search bar & click the ads in the search result, google will pay me once I reach enough money in a few years later.

Every single one of my ads & my seach toolbar has been specially customize by me to suit my blog's look and feel. I have added 1 additional radio option to allow my reader to search pages in Malaysia.

Thanks you for ur support.

Dr M & his Raven Beak

Recently there have been lot of critics about DR. M, he has been making a lot of complaints & noise to our leader.

Issues include the AP thing, Sing@pore C@useway bridge ..etc. Water issue with Sing@pore.

APing? This thing has been with us for sometime. It is not until our Raven beak disclose the issue, and the person in charge is our RFD.(yeah RFD = Radio Frequency Device) She sent her crying signal to the whole nation telling everyone that she is innocent. RFD may sounds like innocent, but in between I do believe the must be some corruption partnership problem between RFD, Raven and a company named Na'$'a who is a major player in this AP thing.

The Sing@pore c@useway bridge was built for the benefit of both M@laysian and Sing@porean. The traffic is increasing every year, but I still think is good enough to support the traffic, the problem is very obvious, the immigrant toll is bottlenecking the whole traffic flow. That is why our gov continue to build the immigrant toll. So why the fuss our "Raven" is making so much noise? Becos without building the bridge u have 1 less chance to do corruption. The larger the project the more money u can corrupt. The more project u commit, the more money u can corrupt. May be this is the reason our PM cancel the bridge, becos he think it is not fisible to build the bridge , and someone is making noise becos he lost his chance to corrupt? :P

Regarding the water issue, it is a contract. U cant change much, whether or not the water price is too cheap. It is still a contract. You have agreed to sell at that price until the contract end. if u want to breach the contract, then u have to pay for the penalty.

I may not have my chance to vote my leader in the last time, but the next one I will definately vote for opposition and I will keep voting for opposition until I get my best leader.

Conclusion...
People tend to blame/point finger on other people first instead of themselves. Some of them even have racial issue towards others. But when their own people did something wrong, they seems to have lesser complaints.
