Public Transport? Should I use?

Yesterday, my wife have to use her car and my car still with my brother, so I decide to use our good public transports for works.

My journey is from KGB, Kuala Lumpur to office at Cyberjaya. Let’s do figure with table.

From To Start Time End Time Transportation/Purpose Interval
KGB KL Sentral 6:45 AM 7:00 AM LRT (no waiting) 0:15:00
KL Sentral KL Sentral 7:00 AM 7:45 AM Waiting for bus 0:45:00
KL Sentral Putrajaya Terminal 7:45 AM 9:00 AM E1 bus 1:15:00
Putrajaya Terminal Putrajaya Terminal 9:00 AM 9:30 AM Waiting for bus again 0:30:00
Putrajaya Terminal Cyberjaya 9:30 AM 9:45 AM T429 bus 0:15:00
KGB Cyberjaya 6:45 AM 9:45 AM To work 3:00:00

That was one way journey. If both way, total would be around 6 hours and cost me RM11.20.

In my normal life when using my car to works, it’s only take 1:30 to 2 hours for the whole journey and cost about RM20.00. Even I pay more for fuel and tolls, I still can save time. Time is important in my job as If I reach office late, I still have to work for 9 hours (including break). In this case I have to work until 7:00pm. Imagine what time I will reach home then.

Maybe my timing is bad and luck is not in my side yesterday. But I’m not going to lose another 3 hours of my time so I decide to call my brother to pick me up.

There is another bus that going straight to Cyberjaya from KLSentral but that was a cater bus and need to pay the fare in monthly basis. 3 cater bus left KL Sentral while I was waiting for normal bus. Cater bus journey only take 70 minutes to reach Cyberjaya (as mention in Cyberjaya website) and fee is RM200+ per month.

QOS - 2008 James Bond Movie

Oficial 007 Website

Quantum of Solace continues the high octane adventures of James Bond in Casino Royale. Betrayed by Vesper, the woman he loved, 007 fights the urge to make his latest mission personal. Pursuing his determination to uncover the truth, Bond and M interrogate Mr White who reveals the organisation which blackmailed Vesper is far more complex and dangerous than anyone had imagined.

Forensic intelligence links an MI6 traitor to a bank account in Haiti where a case of mistaken identity introduces Bond to the beautiful but feisty Camille, a woman who has her own vendetta. Camille leads Bond straight to Dominic Greene, a ruthless business man and major force within the mysterious organization, Quantum.

On a mission that leads him to Austria, Italy and South America, Bond discovers that Greene, conspiring to take total control of one of the worlds most important natural resources, is forging a deal with the exiled General Medrano. Using his associates in the organization, and manipulating his powerful contacts within the CIA and the British government, Greene promises to overthrow the existing regime in a Latin American country, giving the General control of the country in exchange for a seemingly barren piece of land which is, however, a main source of the South American water supply. In a minefield of treachery, murder and deceit, Bond allies with old friends in a battle to uncover the truth. As he gets closer to finding the man responsible for the betrayal of Vesper, 007 must keep one step ahead of the CIA, the terrorists and even M, to unravel Greene’s sinister plan and stop Quantum getting its way.

Release Date: 6 November 2008 (Malaysia) - My Shell 007 car’s collection completed.

The Open House - Next Episode of Raya

After a month of fasting during Ramadan, Muslims will celebrate with open houses, inviting relatives and friends to their house to celebrate the Raya.

Open houses are vibrant and joyous occasions. Salam (good wishes) is exchanged and duit raya (money packets) are handed to children who accept them with glee.

The open houses are not confined to the first two days of Hari Raya but are usually held throughout the entire month of Syawal which is often regarded as a month of feasting and spreading the spirit of muhibah (goodwill).

There is no exception for my family this year. My open house will be a week before the end Syawal. This year it will be celebrated together with my son’s birthday.

Raya and Jam

Every year, during festive season (Hari Raya Aidilfitri), road will packed with car and buses cause a heavy traffic jam and not mention a fatal accident.

Before Raya, everybody will go back to their hometown to celebrate with their family. I was lucky; leaving Kuala Lumpur (KL) on Tuesday morning (30/09/08), a day before Raya, the road is clear and no jam at all. My brother also lucky to start a trip earlier than me where there are only a few cars on the road. Normal trip take around 6 – 7 hours before can reach my hometown.

The celebrations really greats this year even not all going back to home. One of my younger brother and wife still at Sabah and my younger sister just deliver a baby during fasting month.

After 3 days at hometown, I and family decide to leave for KL earlier so we can avoid the jam and still have time to visit my wife relatives in KL. This time, I was wrong, the road already jam with lots of car on the road but not as bad as what happen on Sunday (05/10/08). My trip takes 3 extra hours before I can reach home at KL. My brother start at 7pm on Sunday, until 1am (Monday), he still half way from KL and the road still jam packed with cars. I don’t know what time he will reach KL, in 7 hours he need to works.

I heard some people already return back to hometown and cancel their trip. For sure they will have to extend their leave for another 1 or 2 days.
