How was my Christmas

Well, another weekend gone and new year is approaching.


This year Christmas is full of enjoyment and memories. I do not celebrate Christmas actually but I always share the joy of celebration with friend and family.


This year, my Christmas celebration starts with a simple dinner at Strawberry field café in PJ uptown together with my close buddy. Somehow we are unable to proceed with second round as everyone is very tired after a long day work.


Friday, which is the Christmas day, I wake up early and pack my bag for my Taiping Journey. Before we depart I manage to watch Jamie Oliver show. Well, I think this guy always cook nice food using whatever ingredient he have. Same like me!!! Wahahaha.


I drove more than 300km north to Kuala Sepetang where my cousin wedding dinner will be held. It was my first time to drive so far. From the help of Google Earth, I manage to memorize the road to reach to my cousin house. Mind you that I never even when to my cousin house before. Ok maybe put it this way, I never even met my cousin before.


Upon arrival, I saw a lot of stranger but all those strangers seem to know me. Lolx. They are all my aunt and uncle. For 17 years I have never go back to my hometown during Chinese New Year thus I don’t really know them. The last time I go back to my hometown is during my aunt’s wedding and I open the wedding car door…hehehe….Well, now even her child (which is also my cousin) is already 16 years old. Totally unbelievable. The thing I remember is that my relatives are very warm and helpful but I don’t really recognize their face. Imagine I was 5 years old child when we last met. Is kinda gathering of aunt, uncle and cousin for me actually. No doubt I am closer with my mom side since everyone is in Klang but my father side always remind me of the helpful village style, good fish (most of them stay in fisherman village) and thick Hokkien accent.


Saturday, the Boxing Day, we headed to Kuala Gula. We go to one of the temple and they do have the 18 level of hell scene. Quite scary but also educational. I believe the existence of this place is to remind all of us to be good always and obey all the principle in life. Each wrong doing have its punishment in the hell. So think twice before you cheat, steal, commit suicide, kills or do something immoral.


When to taiping lake to snap some photo and headed back to Klang. Is raining day and driving is extremely difficult.


Sunday I end up breakfast with Nick and Zhe Quan at little dim sum place in SS2. Then we proceed to Pavilion, Starhill, Lot 10, Sg Wang and then Berjaya Times Square.


Well that goes my weekend…Hehehe….

Klang flyover; what problem, whose problem?

It have been more than 2 years and what we, the Klangite want is the completion of the flyover As Soon As Possible.

Everyday, 1.5 million of Klang citizen pray hard that the flyover can be completed as schedule but months after months, what we have is a total disappointment. Klang which use to be a quite town have turn into a chaos township. What problem is it actually and why it have been delay for years?

Well let look at the history of Klang bridge. Years back, Klang bridge was make from wooden which float on the water. It was then replace with double decker bridge until 1990's where it was close due to high capacity of usage and thus replace with the current new bridge. The old bridge can be seen partially just beside the Jambatan Kota now.

The idea of the new flyover come from previous government in which i have no idea what benefit it will bring. Frankly there is no traffic jam previously using the old traffic diversion before the bridge is constructed.

The wind of the project started in 2002 a year before election which I believe is to win the heart of Klang citizen. No work have been done since then until 2007 where the general election is again on the track...Coincident? You decide...

Well construction start and what we can see is banner of SPAZ Sdn. Bhd. and some government poster trying to explain the choas that it will created. Well, it was a mega project i should say considering the bridge is the main road leading to Federal Highway and connect major part of South and North Klang.

Material price escalated during end of 2007 and Spaz have difficulties in financing the whole project. Federal Government have problem in approving new financing too. After much delay 2008 seem to be no progression on side except creating anger to the Klangite. Well, from no jam to major jam, who won't angry right....I believe some put their anger into the voting sheet as well...hehehe...

2009 saw major construction. Spaz Sdn. Bhd. seem unable to complete the task on time have ask for extension up to mid December 2009. Sunway Geotechnics seem to take over the drilling and piling work. Well, the land is too near to Klang river thus the land is cover by water thus high technology machinery is needed. If Spaz don't take into account during their tender, then i think they are stupid. But if previous government also never notice this problem, then i think they deserve to lose anyway...

Well December is here and from the site progression, those blind and dumb also can notice it won't be able to complete on time. Well, as expected it have been delay to March and further delay to June 2010.

To add it uglier, the road condition at Klang have turn from bad to worst. After raining, hundred if not thousand of pothole emerge. The only day we use the road without pothole is during our Selangor Sultan Birthday...I can't imagine if Sultan car have to pass by those pothole and the whole car shake so badly that can easily make people dizzy.

My question is, why Spaz is awarded? Why is there no penalty for late completion? Why there is such a long delay in completion? Can't we award it to bigger contractor and ask them to complete it on faster track?

Well, all this go down the drain....Everyday we suffer hours of jam, letting our poor tyres to enter the potholes and witness hysteria driver pointing middle finger or honking and tons and tons of accident. Police have to be on duty even rainy days...All this choas have become part and parcel of Klangite life. Well suffering.

Thanks to our previous local government. Knowing that this project have tarnish their reputation the construction board that spell out " Satu Lagi Project Kerjasama XX" have been taken out. Well, if other forgot who award this project, I remember...How can I forgot who is our previous local government so easily....Big Mansion in Klang town...no need me to elabraote more...

Well, still after years of suffering....we 1.5 million klangite just pray that the bridge can be completed ASAP....

World Running Out of Time

I bet the movie 2012 have scare most of the people on earth. Will all of us die in 21 December 2012? What if I could not earn 2 billion Euro by then to board the 'Noah Ark'?

Today Copenhagen Climate Summit innitiated to resolve the current global warming situation is still facing with many challenges. Developing countries are not ready to come to consencus to bring down the greenhouse gases emission to certain level..

We are now 3 years apart from the Mayan calculation of the last day of earth...The question is are we ready to protect the mother earth like what mother earth have protect us for millenium.

There is just too many weird cases that might be early warning that world is going to end soon...

Few days back, Australia and New Zealand is warn about an iceberg as huge as 17 football field is heading toward the their region. The iceberg have been seperated from antartica 9 years back...

Massive earthquake and tsumani have been a norm nowadays. Even Malaysia could not escape the tremor of earthquake....Who know one day there will be snow back in Malaysia so we can enjoy white christmas!

Well what we need nowadays is a real "Green Innitiative"...Start from reduce,reuse and recycle....then incorporate daily life with nature by planting more tree, reuse rain water for washing house compound....Further we can associate lifestyle with nature by using greener electrical appliances, solar power or wind power generator.

All we need now is awareness. Yes Awareness.....Despite people knowing the date is approaching, people are still in ignorance mode because majority people waiting other people to do it first....

Awareness that economic come after environmental....Nowadays there is no economy if there is no sustainability....

Remember....We were warned....We still got time....Hand on hand....Let make it happen...

2009

Well, we are at the end of the year again....

It may be to early to write the annual report of my life for the year but I have to do so because year 2009 is totally a mess up....Full of sickness...Full of suffering....Full of disfortune...

There is a lot of thing that is nice to post during the 3 weeks period but I am not on the 'kick' to post yet....maybe a bit later I will post it...

Well....exam exam exam....

Exam do kill....Damm tiring after 3 papers of ACCA....so my advice, dun ever go for 3 paper....Is not commit suicide but i like torturing yourselves....

P7 - kinda easy....hope can pass
P5 - the same way the examiner always do...Surprise the student with something that look weird....Erm...Hopefully Question 2 didn't bring my result down
P2 - I would say a very easy paper but there is element of confusing....Lolx...and I was sick that day, I bet the examiner successfully twisted my mind too...Pray hard can pass or else have to suffer the hell whole year to study the idiotic P2.....

Well, guess this is for it.....Wanna make a move first....Time for medicine....

Another bad writing from the sick boy...
