Taxi/cab guide in Kuala Lumpur
Since i no longer have a car, when hubster is not around, i always have to use the public transport (lrt, commuter, bus, taxi). before i got married, my usual transportation from office to my sister's house would be lrt and taxi/cab (it's the same to me). almost everyday i had to take taxi from the lrt station to my sister's house because there is no other transportation available to get there.
now, whenever hubster is not around, or have meetings outside kl, i have to take the commuter from shah alam to kl central, and take the lrt from kl central to klcc. going back, it's the reverse of that plus taxi from commuter station to our house.
sometimes i'll take a taxi from klcc to dutamas (hubster's office) if i don't want to wait in klcc esp when hubster needs to stay back or when the traffic coming into kl is bad. these cabs are the one that i want to highlight. if you're used to the cabs or taxi in kl, you'll know that there are several types of cabs here. there's budget cabs ( those in red & white/orange/green/yellow colour) and the executive cab (the blue cabs). the budget taxi are those using mostly Proton cars (wira/iswara/the old saga) while the blue cab are those using KIA cars.
there's a huge difference between the two. Apart from the comfort factor, the most obvious difference would be on the charges. for the budget cab, you'll be charged RM3.00 once you enter the cab, then the meter will increased RM0.10 for every few meters (i'm not sure the exact meters/mins) the meter will still run if the taxi/cab is not moving (in traffic jam). as for the blue cab, you'll be charged RM6.00 once you enter the cab and the meter will increased RM0.20 each time. clearly the charges for the blue cab is double from the budget. but of course the blue cabs are more comfortable and smell nicer. if you rarely have to opt for taxi, it will be ok to take those blue cab, but as a regular, the blue cab will definitely burn a big hole in your pocket.
the average amount that i have to pay for a bdget cab from klcc to Dutamas would be around RM11.00 - RM15.00 depending on the traffic. it rarely touch RM20 unless if the traffic is reeeeeaaaallllyyy bad. but for the blue cab, i've never paid lower than RM 23.00 for the same journey. once i was charged RM52.00 because there was a reaaalllyyy bad traffic and we had to detour due to road closure (i cursed the police for closing the road!) can you imagine how much i had to spend for taxi if i had to take it everyday? luckily i don't have to do that often. (thanked god for that)
anyway, another important thing to share is, there's a lot of budget cabs in klcc. however, you have to be extra careful as most of them do not use meter. they'll just quote you ridiculous rate and force you to agree. luckily, nowadays there is a company managing the taxi/cabs at klcc. there are a few counters for taxi/cab at each entrance to klcc. mind you, there is a surcharge of RM2.00 if you go through the counter. but it is guaranteed that you will get a taxi which uses meter. you'll also get a receipt with the taxi number on it. this is very helpful if you accidently left your belongings in the taxi. you can just call the number on the receipt and ask their assistance to check for you. but this is also depending on your luck. owh, i forgot to mention, if you want a budget cab, u need to inform the person at the counter. if not, they'll give you the blue cab (if you don't mind or in a hurry, then it's ok).
i guess that's all for now. hope the above is beneficial to you. :)

nothing important
setiap org ada kehendak and kemahuan sendiri, ada cara sendiri and kerenah sendiri. semalam Hali suh tgk kat youtube video perempuan gaduh ngan bf dalam lrt tu (on hp la). ya allah, sumpah terkejut tgk video tu.x tau mcm mna boleh sampai mcm tu. malu sgt! hopefully both of them da ok and that girl xkn gaduh jerit2 mcm tu lagi dah. Amin..
bila tgk video tu and after Wawa citer pasal kejadian dlm komuter (pasal bf gf gaduh on phone jugak), terfikir, mcm2 kerenah org sekarang ni.
ada yg gaduh sbb rasa x cukup attention, ada yg gaduh sbb rimas terlebih attention. yg pelik tu, usually, mmg slalu cmtu. sorang sgt caring and the other x kisah sgt.. but kalau dis jebis yg "pape la"..x bermaksud dia x caring kn?
i used to be so heartless. x berperasaan. mcm "suke hati kau la nk buat ape pon". but somehow, now i've changed. now nak jugak la rasa ada org amik berat and risaukn diri ni. nak jugak org call or msg tanya kat mana dah bila naik public transport sorang2 mlm2. tp yg peliknye, cuma nk sorang je yg buat mcm tu. bila org lain yg tanya, ok jugak, tp x la rasa terharu mcm kalau yg sorang tu tanya.
tp tu la, org lain2 kan. semua ada cara masing2. yg penting kn saling memahami.

4 months, 2 weeks & 1 day
kejap je dah 4 bulan, 2 minggu, 1 hari ktorg kawin and live together as husband and wife. ingat lagi macam mana kelam kabut and serabut prepare for our wedding dulu. every morning bila bangun, mesti pk, hari ni nak buat ape?benda apa yg still pending? kat office after siap 1-2 contract, mesti blog hopping jap, cari idea for wedding. petang balik keje, g singgah kedai buku tgk wedding magazines.
i miss those times. mmg hectic, kelam kabut, tiring, stressful..but it's all worth it. ingat lagi mcm mana nervousnye nk g first fitting..hubster kept on reminding me to manage my expectation, but sape yg boleh buat cam tu time2 tu?hehehe..but it all went well. overall, we didn't have any major issues throughout our prep. semua mcm went smoothly. x payah nak maki2 org..x de x puas hati ngan service mana2 vendor yg ktorg engaged with. alhadulillah..semua dimudahkan oleh Allah.
hmmm...rindu..

Peningkatan!
Dari dulu, semua org asyik tegur kata sy kurus sgt or org yg jeles sbb sy kurus tp kuat makan. stress jugak sebenarnye bila asyik kene tegur je. lama-lama rasa mcm dah x larat nak dengar sbb bukan sengaja diet ke ape. dah mmg x leh nak gemuk, nak buat cane? nanti kalau gemuk pon org tegur jugak kn?
sebenarnye dah macam2 sy cuba tuk naikkn berat. minum weight gain, mkn apeton (eh, cane eja ek?), mkn sebanyak mungkin, late night snack, minum susu campur badam, macam2 la. tp satu pon x berhasil. tapi, lepas kawin ni, tetibe berat naik 3 kg. WAHHH!!!! kagum betul! kira mmg betul la ckp org, bila kawin, berat mesti naik.
so, skang ni berat da start naik, kn control pulak la. tak nak la nanti dah terlebih berat pulak. susah jugak nanti. but my point here is "the best way to gain weight is to get married!" hahaha..tak la, just joking. :)

Baby talk
last Friday, me Mash & SK went to PCMC to visit our colleague who have been warded there. kebetulan, pagi tu wife Bob delivered a cute lil' baby girl kat situ jugak.so, we went to visit the baby. she is soooo cute! like a little cute baby doll. kecik je 2.3kg..but sangat la baik..dia tdo je..x kisah ape org buat, dia tdo je..chumil sangat!! tapi x berani nk angkat sbb kecik sgt..izz ashraff dulu x la kecik cmtu. tgk baby tu trus rasa nak ada baby sendiri..
On Saturday night, ada surprise bday party for mummy. her 59th Birthday! :) darzian arranged a party at Italiannies, OU with all mummy's close frens and families. we chipped in for the payment. the theme was red.
the funny thing thing was, me and hubster went there straight from hubster's office. i was wearing blue shirt, with baby blue tudung and hubster was wearing a pink shirt. hahahaha...we're so not dressed according to the theme. luckily buat dekat shopping mall. so, sampai je ou, trus g carik baju. i found one very nice knitted sweater like blouse in red. reaaally nice!! g fitting room, trus pkai..hehehe..sales girl tu senyum je tgk ktorg..tp rasa cm weird gile, baju merah ang ang, tudung baby blue..nasib baik la very light blue. tp pelik gak la..hubster dok kata "ok, sama kaler ngan jeans u" hahahaha..
for hubster beli red t'shirt..baru la ikut tema! hehe..
owh, tittle post ni "baby talk" kan..nak cite pasal Elfisya Iman sbnarnye. Elfisya Iman ni anak Effiey and Joko..Effiey, best fren Darzy. baby dia baru 2 bulan. Comel giler!! and tersangat lah baik. dari sampai kat Italiannies sampai la balik, x nangis lansung. tukar2 org dok amik dia, letak dlm stroller..semua la..dia diam je..dia cuma sembang2 ngan hubster je..ngan org lain sket pon x de bunyi. pastu last2, while i'm holding her, she fell asleep. so cute! serious rasa nak ada baby sendiri now..hubster!!!!! hehehe :)
Untung Effiey & Joko dpt baby baik cmtu. that night, nampak la hubster teringin nak baby sendiri..hehehe..comel je dia pegang Elfisya.
Ya Allah, murahkan lah rezeki kami. Kurniakanlah kami zuriat yg soleh & solehah. Amin...
