Komuter KTM..after 9 years...holy crap!!

This week is a bit busy with arranging and coordinating the offshore system training that I'm in charge of. As the manager requested it to be held in Kota Kinabalu Office, I have to plan in advance, and get everything confirmed earlier so that the firm date can be notified to the participants that are coming from KL and also Norway. Everything has came together Alhamdulillah..

Next week, I will be outstation for the whole week. Mesti rindu Xiyad and Cembam..hehe. Xiyad is very attached to me since Hari Raya. He keeps hugging me. During after-bath and when we were playing. Even at Surau while waiting for the after-prayer doa, he would climb and hug me numerous time..=]. But I'm grateful that he would obediently sit at the back corner of the surau, not running here and there till the prayer is finished. Alhamdulillah..

Oh..OK..i wanna share my experience using KTM Komuter after 9 years since my last time using it.

I had to take the komuter to the office last Monday because my motorcycle battery was KAPUT!! I took the komuter from Bangi station. First thing I noticed, there were many people waiting to the far away spot..it appeared that the komuter train was a long one and the door entrances reached that far spot that those people were waiting. But when I did the same, I realized that those spots are for the women coaches..Damn it!! I had to walk to the other coaches once I realized it.

Everything was smooth during my way to the office despite of not getting a seat..sob sob.

When I reached KL Sentral from Jalan Ampang on my way back home, I realized a looong queue of people at the manual ticket counter. Wow..so I walked towards the ticket machine. After waiting for quite sometimes..you know..the machine that keep on 'spitting' back the note that you have inserted in?? It still happening after 9 years!! And you can't blame the person because its the machine fault!! And finally my turn. And rightaway I realized that the machine doesn't accept new notes!! FUCK!! Wasting my waiting time in the queue!! I looked back at the manual counter, the queue was still a long one.

Okay..I went to a shop, and asked a change for my RM20 notes for an old version of Rm10 note. And I got it!! NOw I queued back at the machine...I inserted my old-version RM10 note..and you know what happened?? It said "cant return change". Maybe because my fare was RM3.70 only?? WTF!!! After 9 years, the machine still behave like that with a big poster "WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF UPGRADING THE SYSTEM" fuck you!!!!

As I didn't manage to change my Rm10 note to an RM5 old-version note!!! I had to queue up at the manual counter. It was then I realized, my phone that was 55% battery when I first reached KL Sentral was now 1% and puff..without me getting the chance to update my wife as when to pick me up!!

Nevermind, surely the public phone is still available at the station right? Right? I mean 9 years only maa since my last time using it. So again, no luck with an empty seat...I stood from KL Sentral to Bangi. I spotted the public phone right away.

Inserted coins
Dialling my wife (luckily still can memorize the number albeit of the no-dialling era)
Got connected, but nothing happened
Coined swallowed
Unsuccessful call

OMG!!! WHAT THE FUCK!! And it was maghrib already. So the last thing I had to do was walked to a guy that was playing his IPAD or NOTE..I dunno, I didn't pay much attention on it and asked his courtesy to use his phone and texted my wife. He asked me to just give her a call rather than text her. Oh thanks man!!

And Cembam fetched me up after 10 minutes. Why not taxi?? Oh..there was only 1 taxi at that time, and it happened to be fetching the driver's wife and the backseat has already been booked by 3 young fella that looked like a college student.

Wow..it has been 9 years and you didn't even change one bit KOMUTER!! As SUCKS as ever!!

Ikat bini kamu, anak perempuan kamu pada tiang yang paling kukuh!!!

Received a parcel when I was at my parents' house. A small book of the detail translation of surah Al-Kahfi. Thanks to PPZ (Pusat Pungutan Zakat) for the yearly gift. And a beneficial one of course. My math teacher once told us before she started our math class about how the first ten verse could save you from Dajal's lure and seduction. Akan tiba waktu Dajal bermaharajalela di penghujung dunia menawarkan segala macam kemewahan dan kehendak yang sukar untuk ditolak. Dan bilamana kita tunduk pada hebatnya Dajal memenuhi permintaan kita, maka neraka lah jawabnya. Maka ikatlah anak-anak perempuan kamu, isteri dan ibu kamu di tiang yang paling utuh dan kuat dalam rumah kamu dengan kemas kerana apabila Dajal menghentakkan kakinya ke bumi, seluruh kaum wanita akan berlari-lari mendapatkan Dajal meninggalkan segala-galanya. Akan dicampak anak yang sedang didokong, suami mereka untuk Dajal. Meraung2 lah mereka diikat pada tiang. Tapi jangan pula kamu kasihankan mereka dan membuka ika...

Pantai Seberang Takir. Pengalaman Pukat Tarik

Pantai Seberang Takir is just one infamous beach that has been 'tambak' to prevent big flood and the safety of the houses along it. My Atok in-law's house is one of those many houses. Everytime I paid a visit to my in-laws, Atok's house is a must. Sometimes we didn't really do anything particular and just sitting by the beach enjoying the breeze and the salty taste of the air. Nurin and her sisters and Haikal dipping in the water. (Can you guys feel the mood of this picture. What do you guys feel when you look at this photo. Plz help me by giving feedback as I want to step a level higher in photography by taking photos that inspire people..thanks) Right after the Yebbit with Nurin and plucking the mangoes, we went to the beach. I brought the kain pelekat, my short and my towel as I intended to have a dip. But at the end I just take photos and ate the keropok lekor. Berlari ke laut (running towards the sea). But that evening was a bit special. I had a nice fi...
