Ridin’ on the sore eye

Yup. I confess. I did. I went for it.
Initially when it started I never had the slightest notion to give the white elephant a try. That was before… *clears throat* skip *aaa*
Anyway, since it was December, the last month that the giant ferris wheel will be around, I thought hey why don’t we go for a ride. So I got my brother and his gf, my gf and me. And yeah we smuggled the little one too. What was the excuse given again for the last minute installation of this thing? Well it kind of looks like a last minute decision to erect something like this to me. Especially only 2 weeks for soil testing.

If I am not mistaken, these 42 air-conditioned gondolas was setup in conjunction with the Visit Malaysia Year 2007 campaign cum 50th Merdeka celebration. So it’s like a gimmick to get the foreigners to come over and have a 30 mins queue (lucky ones) for a 10 mins ride overlooking a lake and some not so attractive night lights. Honestly, I did not see any non-Malaysians there that I could identify. Worst was I had a couple of braggers in the VIP line barking that they got theirs free because they are some traveling agency and that they could get as many free passes as they wish. Fat fuck and company even lauded at us idiots who need to pay and queue up.
I moved around in the gondola too much while taking pictures and it made me felt sick. Sigh.


Muaks… kiss my RM30 goodbye.


BitBit the stowaway. We did not let him out as we had to share our gondola with two malay girls. Don’t want them to ring the alarm.

Big money.

If they fix this thing in between the towers, then that would be fun. Surely would attract visitors bringing them to a dizzy new height. And one can be sure that Singapore can’t compete then as they have only durians.

Speaking of which I heard that there will be an extension for the Visit Malaysia campaign as it was not successful. Do I foresee that this piece of spinning metal will be here for another year?
It came with a RM30 million price tag for a one year installation. So how…
For those who still have not given this baby a try. Don’t.

Announcement : Adopt Terry

Adoption Canceled
My friend is moving to a new place and it seems she does not have much space for Terry anymore. With heavy heart she has to give him up for adoption.
She had the dog since June 2006… when he was still a pup. Am not too sure about the breed though.
Saw him once and he is one healthy, mischievous, funny and cute little one. Toilet trained. Follow commands like roll over, sit and other stuff.
Anyone interested? If yes, check out her blog and contact her or leave a message here and I will let her know. Cheers!

Read her post : Adoption Anyone

Update :
Terry’s current location is in PJ.

More Updates:
It seems that auntie (dragon girl’s mama) has kinda feel attached to Terry and now he is staying put. So the adoption is off. Thanks a lot for all your kind attention though.

Lousy LRT

Stupid train has unscheduled maintenance a much better phrase than saying that it bloody broke down. Spent nearly 50+ mins in it. It was bearable for me as I was standing in the passenger seats section. Not much space for more commuters. But upon arriving at KL Sentral station all hell break loose. As soon as a few passenger alighted many others swarm in. To add to the chaos, the officer on duty… dressed in those cop uniform brayed out “Tolak sama mereka kerana tidak mahu masuk ke dalam lagi!”. Everyone was already rooted to a small leg space and the idiot still ordered them to push inwards. Dipshit did not stood inside the train long enough to know how lousy it is and all he knows is just belching out orders like that. Bloody hell, Putra should train their dogs to stand in a compartment for an hour or so with bad ventilation so that they know what they are talking about. Or if there are breakdowns in the near future, throw in their mama or papa or 3rd auntie, I will surely push them. Could even stand on them for you. Poor girls being pushed around, especially by a Texan-wannabe. Strapped with an old fading Alba watch and a stained yellow stripe shirt, sweaty one of course on his back. Unkempt beard and looking all macho in his gold rimmed original pirated Ray Ban with another pair of myopic glasses dangling around his man-tits. What a sight. I believe I could taste him in the crammed compartment if I snorted a little harder. Which I did not of course.

Don’t it just made my day. I could accept breakdowns once in a while but the inconsiderate staffs, definitely not.

Anyway I won’t be taking the LRT from tomorrow onwards till after Christmas. Yeah…
