Sampai bila?

Tragedi seorang gadis yang terjatuh ke dalam lubang longkang ini masih teringang-ingang dalam minda saya. (Ini gambar terkini yang diambil pagi ini, ada palang/stand yang menutupnya)


Waktu tu bersamaan dengan BLACK MONDAY (24/1/11) , saya baru turun dari bas di Hospital Besar KL. Jalan beberapa langkah, terkejut balak tengok longkang yang tidak ditutup 'macam mulut naga terngaga luas menunggu mangsa'. Saya sendiri hampir terjatuh, tapi dalam terkejut tu, saya masih teruskan langkah sambil mengelak longkang itu dengan hati yang berat. Takkan saya nak buat macam tak peduli je? kalau ada orang yang jatuh tu,parah lah juga. Jadi saya terus toleh ke belakang, tak sempat saya nak tegur, seorang gadis terjatuh ke dalam longkang itu. Ngeri cara dia jatuh tu, sebab haih...entahlah..saya tak tahu macam mana nak explain.

Terus saya lari ke arah longkang berpuaka tu balik, dan papah dia. Bercalar sana sini, sambil duduk, dia macam menahan kesakitan. Tanya dia, nak saya hantar pi hospital tak? Dia tak jawab, cuma menggeleng kepala sambil memegang kaki dan pinggang dia. Lepas saya bagi tisu untuk dia lapkan kesan luka itu, dia bangun dan ckp Thank you sambil tersenyum sikit. Lepas itu, dia terus beredar tapi dengan langkah yang perlahan.

Hati ini bercakap, "mai kita cari je apa apa benda yang boleh menghalang dari orang ke / binatang ke dari terjatuh lagi ke dalam longkang tersebut." Tapi..kayu pun takde, Batu besar pun takde, jadi saya jalan terus menuju ke lampu trafik berdekatan, AAAHHH...ada nampak palang JKR besar punya...cantek! Saya minta tolong seorang kakak yang kebetulan sedang lalu di situ untuk sama sama "mengangkut" palang itu. Rasa jauh pula bila mengangkat palang yang boleh dikatakan berat jugaklah dari lampu trafik ke perhentian bas Hospital Besar KL.

Lepas meletakkan palang itu, baru rasa lega. Tiba tiba, ada seorang lelaki "spans berhanyut" bertanya ..kenapa ada orang jatuh ke? Saya dan kakak tu jawab ya. Spans berhanyut itu boleh cakap "patutlah jatuh, sebab patut jalan ke arah jalan raya bukan jalan kat tepi tu" . kakak itu, dah mula tunjuk muka tak puas hati, saya rasa nak je jawab balik..Tapi ahhh..biarlah span berhanyut tu belum kena belum tahu...

yang pasti, pihak yang berkenaan patut bertanggungjawab dan bukan membiarkan saja benda ini...soalannya SAMPAI BILA palang itu akan berada di sana? Pihak JKR pun tak terfikir ke siapa yang telah 'mengambil' palang mereka pagi itu? PELIK tapi benar. hari ini dah Khamis (27/1/11), kenapa takde pihak yang nak bertanggungjawab? SAMPAI BILA?

The Green Hornet 3D Premier Screening

Peraduan Discovery Channel - BERITA HARIAN - MYTHBUSTERS GREEN HORNET SPECIAL. Dahlama tak blog dalam BM, lagi pun menang peraduan dari Berita harian, jadi mari kita berbahasa hari ini. :P Menang 2 ticket untuk tayangan Premier 3D The Green Hornet (Tebuan Hijau) di GSC Singature, The Gardens semalam 24/1/11.
Sempena episod Mythbusters Green Hornet Special yang akan ditayangkan pada hari Jumaat ini bersamaan 28 Januari 2011 jam 8 mlm di Discovery Channel (Rangkaian Astro 555) kalau takde astro, singgah rumah kawan,saudara atau yg sewaktu dengannya. sebab ada 2 adegan dari filem itu akan dilakukan oleh pasukan Mythbusters yang memang kepala giler punya untuk membuat experimen sebegini.

Cerita Tebuan Hijau ini boleh tahan la..rating saya bagi 3/5 sebab ada ciri-ciri jenaka yang tidak masuk akal tapi masih boleh buat saya gelak sorang diri. Jay Chou ber'speaking' English di mana kadang kala saya tidak dapat meneka apa yang disebutnya. Rasa macam dengar suara Chef Yan terkenal dalam siri "Yan Can Cook, So can you". Watak utama Seth Rogen, takmacam hero biasa anda,sebab tak hensem, tak bergaya tapi sebab diarahkan oleh diri sendiri, dia menjadikan diri sendiri sebagai watak utama /hero tempatan di LA. saya suka Cameron Diaz semenjak mendapat tahu yang dia ini kaki aktiviti luar yang lasak,suka beramal dan mengadakan kempen mengitar semula. memang kaki sempoi di luar tabir, lakonan dia memang selalu menjadi wanita yang bijak dan juga kurang bijak..ada paham? gila-gila sikitlah.

Jalan cerita banyak menonjolkan kereta ala ala zaman kolonis, besar, kebal serta klasik. Paling i suka bunyi enjin dia..Mantap. Untuk tatapan serta memberi idea tentang sains,fizik dan kimia...silakan lah menontonnya..bersedia untuk gelak dengan kerenah kebudak-budakkan watak Tebuan Hijau dan Associate/side kick dia, watak Cato (Jay Chou).

Terima kasih kepada Compass Communications, Berita Harian, Discovery Channel & GSC Cinemas sebab bagi peluang untuk tayangan ini. Cinema GSC Signature, The Gardens yang sememangnya panggung wayang ada class. Nanti saya akan blog pasal GOLD CLASS tapi buat masa ini kita bercerita pasal Premier Class dulu. Masa ini semua orang dah balik, sebab tu kosong sahaja..
2 tiket yang dimenangi, di cetak dengan cantik sebab siap laminate dengan plastik.kena air tak basah dan luntur..:P
Ini watak terbaru...LOL..kena pakai cermin mata khas 3D, yang membuat saya pening sebab tak biasa. I rasa lain kali i nak chop tempat yang jauh sikit dari skrin. Sebab rasa mcm kepala saya berpusing sama dengan adegan kereta terbabas
Tempat duduk berpasangan yang selesa, besar, kusyen lembut, skrin yang lebar serta banyak ruang kerana tak salah saya tempat duduknya diterhadkan untuk memastikan 'feel good feeling' kepada semua penonton. Siap bagi coke dan popcorn setiap sorang..Sebab itu ada popcorn siapa entah bertaburan di lantai.
Ada banyak jarak setiap tempat duduk berkembar, jadi tak payah nak komplen kalau orang sebelah anda yang tidak dikenali membuat segala aktiviti yang merimaskan..macam tido berdengkur, goyang kaki berlebih lebih sampai bergegar tempat duduk satu baris, serta makan popcorn mcm ketuk paku kat rumah. LOL.Sekian, nanti saya blog pasal GOLD CLASS Signature pula yea...

To PARIS with love

I should have blog about it the minute i arrived Malaysia but as u all know that procrastination has been my worst best friend, the delay seems to be too long to bear. Just like the freaking chilling effect to the bones of the air cond in my office, it constantly reminding myself that i've finally left my footprint on one of my dream destination wishlist, and its time for me to share the moment here. So to cut the story short, it has not been the best week of my life before i embark the journey to the land of love, Paris. Basically a lot of crazy unimaginable chaos ive been through, i just want some device to take me and drop me somewhere else but not HERE there and there. But reality check, I'm not in the Wars of the World movie so beat that.

It started from KL - Singapore by COACH. that 'almost 7 hours journey' really worn me out. Then i realized that pepperspray are not allowed in Singapore. oh geez, so i surrendered it and have to make a police report at the immigration office. that took me about like 30 minutes late. but not too worry, never really wanted to stop around Singapore and beside the next flight is only at night. My desire to visit Paris is already fading this morning. yeah i was exhausted, grumpy, not feeling well and certainly was not at my best that day. I guessed my alter ego was either sleeping or hibernating...ahaks...

Oh well. ..Changi Airport, Singapore..nothing is great except for their nasi ayam + kari ayam at one their food court
Free wireless...me likey too

Ahhh...i love this..KLIA..the best airport for me. why am i back to KL?
coz it was transit and i dont like waitingOrait boarding time..12midnite
In the flight, while i was staring at the window, i have my moment of thoughts and the tear drops in my heart just like the rain that night. Probably for the first time in my life that my anticipation has turned totally 360 degree altogether.My feeling has lead me down BIG time. How can i not be happy about visiting PARIS, i can only wonder and answered myself with the deep wound from the past. I never like to sit on a plane for long hours coz its uncomfortable and stuffy. Aaahh...suddenly i could hear a whisper at the back of my head. Wake up! I'm going to Paris with MAS Airlines for heaven sake..i should be HAPPY! ok for once suddenly all my energy started to rise up. Oh yeah..my alter ego is back! So what am i supposed to do now. I slept..and save all my energy so that by the time i arrived in Charles de gaulle (CDG) Airport, Paris ..i'll be fine. Unfortunately.it doesnt turn out quite well. who can really sleep in the plane?

Brekkie was nice..salmon yum yum

anyway after 13 hours, the plane finally landed safely at CDG, Paris. It was cold, but i have already prepared myself with jackets and shawls as hand carry luggage. After managed to collect my checked in luggage, I proceed to the immigration. The line was really long and i dont know how long more it going take coz everyone ahead of me seems to be taller and bigger than the usual. Fuh.., finally it was my turn, only 4 counters were opened. The officer checked my passport and before stamping, he asked where and how long i'll be staying in Paris. Shoot...normally i dont get all this questions. i got panicked for a while..ahaks..i took out my mini files where i kept all the important itinerary, copy of passport and the print out confirmation of flight/accomodation/train tickets. So i told him i'll be staying in Hipotel Paris. He just smiled and finally my passport was stamped. oo la laaa..First thing first..get myself out of here.
Information
Took the express train from airport to the main terminal of Paris, Gare du nord.The train look a bit dodgy but yeah it was early in the morning..everyone seems like still sleeping. Vandalism is too common in Europe. i will never forget this place! haha..It was massive, so many route, busy and most importantly so many types of people surrounding this place. Some are rushing to work, while some look lost and some just lazing around with a cup of coffee at cafe for people watching. I on the other hand, had a mission. I decided to take this opportunity to visit Amsterdam as well.

This was like from a movie scene in Narnia. kinda old looking time/chart board. The schedule keep changing like a jackpot machine every seconds and it buzz like a bullet sound..bizarre.
So after hard work of research and almost dropped my heart few months back, I finally managed to book bullet train tickets(Thalys) from Paris to Amsterdam using French language website...aaahhhhh...why french? coz i did my research and seems that users that make their tickets reservation via French language website will be getting cheaper rate. Dont worry if you dont understand a single French word, coz there are simple step by step guideline in this website. This man really is Great! thanks dude. Their train tickets works similiarly like our local flight tickets. YUp you got it right, the earlier you book, the lower the rates is. OR book during any ongoing promo, and you might just hit cheapest rate that certainly makes you feel like "Wow..im really that good! :P " well literally..hahaha...im a narcissist, so what? LOL

ok back to my Gare du Nord scenario. I was there looking high and low for the SNCF/Thalys counter. coz i need to exchange my print out copy to a real deal ticket before taking the train. I wanted to opt for ticketless but i think it was too risky as I am not a Parisian. So after asking around, finally i managed to find the counter. I was lining up when they are bunch of Indonesian was talking among each other. Being friendly i just started to talk to them. :) poor thing was they missed the earlier train to Amsterdam and now they had to re-purchase those tickets. They wonder how much would it be. i said im not too sure for purchase on the same day as i have booked earlier via online and it was during promotion so i managed to get pretty good price. Shared with them whateva ive learned during my research. But maybe next time as they really really wanted to visit Amsterdam today. So ended up they paid quite a hefty sums of money.

Aahh..finally it was my turn. I showed them those print out, she checked from the system. And ensure to bring the same credit card that you had purchased online and show them in the counter.then she started to talk in French to her colleague. Honestly i was little scared even though this is my 2nd europe trip but this time around, all the itinerary was done by me ALONE. so its pretty scary if things just go wrong..urgh..and some of them dont speak english...I'm definately going to freak out if they said my confirmation was not valid or whateva. After few minutes, she printout the tickets and handover to me.

YESSS!!!.i got my tickets..good deal eh? one way euro 34 only from PARIS to AMSTERDAM
but i couldnt get the same deal (during online), so it was euro 62.still it was worth it!


she told me which gate and what time i have to be there. And if im late, i'll end up like the INdonesian earlier. oh boy, certainly i dont want that to happen!

Next we kept our luggage at the locker room. We paid 16 euro coz wanna see PARIS before our visiting Amsterdam later in the evening and dont want to be carrying our luggage around. Sight seeing by foot is definately the best...the weather was pretty cold but the sun was shinning bright so it was perfect. Some maps collected at the counter. it was FOC. :)First head for lunch at the nearest cafe. Then took the bus and head to this futuristic kinda of building. Opposite of the building lies a colourful graffiti and art based decor decorating the front porch of a church. Then we kept walking and walking enjoying the cool air breeze, it was 7'celcius. beside i'll be coming back to explore the rest of few days in Paris upon returning from Amsterdam.

And now come let's take some pictures and paint the town red. Im in PARIS!!!! oh laa laaa..
This is the Famous main terminal..GARE DU NORDMap and his hTC garmin..blur ..at last i just asked the local..bleukkk
The shop housesThe clouds seems to be busy that day
Typical day in Paris
Ohh laa laaa...i am finally HERE
Can you see me? that tiny red jacket waving? hahaha (This is Pompidou Center)
Graffiti art.maybe trying to hint there are no toilet paper
I have no idea what they are trying to portray here.

End of winter, spring approaching but still very cold

Another favorite of mine, letterbox/carrier...hahaha
Cycling maybe, no?
My fetish on BIG DOORs...simply love to pose next to it...hehehee
Nice architecture .
I feel like it was 1860
Ride a long with me


Or skate with the local kids
Its like the old vampire movie scene
The garden was nice and quiet


Come let's have a cuppa and people watching
finally i could see the majestic Eiffel Tower from afar...Hrmmm...ok goin to skip that coz i have a train to catch later . hi everyone.welcome to my castle! hehehe at the River Seine

He aint heavy, he is the statue of determination..nyehh heh heh

In case, some wondering why didnt i extend my trip here and why i choose to Paris-Amsterdam and back to Paris instead of exploring Paris then to Amsterdam and back to KL. well..coz i won the return air ticket which was from Singapore to Paris, tried to appeal for return destination but was not granted..huhuh...anyway now u know why i was from KL-Singapore-transit at KL-then off to Paris...get it? hahahaa..what an adventure.

Oh ya..and this cool old rockafella spotted in a magazine
Bike lane
Will up date more soon..meantime stay tuned...
