LRT -> Lousy Rail Transit

I think our public transportation system need some sort of "push" from the relevant authorities in order for them to perform accordingly and at least satisfy the customer need by providing punctual train timing and courteous service. Lately, both the commuter and lrt services have been going through some kind of slump. Timing out, train breakdown and impolite staff. I'm not sure what's the cause of such a lousy planning and nuisance behaviour. Could it be due to their company, KTM and Putra going through some sort of restructuring or retrenchment in progress? That's why the staff are taking this opportunities to "screwed up" the services as a way to show their dissatisfaction / protest. If so, why isn't the company doing anything to stop it or improve it? Are they enjoying all these? Seeing 2-3millions commuters sufferred each day due to their unethical problems? huh... I think no matter whether there's a problem within their organisations or not, they should mend it ASAP or try to settle it peacefully rather than causing all these unnecessary delays. If it's not due to any of these, it's even worst! Caused it's an eye-sore to see this kind service standards provided by KTM and PUTRA. Yeah, most of us couldn't deny that they are the only two train services around but please try their best to provide us with the deserved service. Looking at the amount we pay and the time wasted due to their delay each day. 1 or 2 mins is not an excuse. If the planning is properly done, all these won't come into play at all. I think it's time the government step in and do something about this before it's too late. Both KTM and PUTRA, are rotting and i think they need a boost or else some sort of competition from other providers. Look how effective it's when the government announced that they going to bring in more competitors to the broadband arena and asked Telekom to open their last loop for them... The immediate effect was a complete restructuring of the whole Telekom company itself and now known as TM instead. KTM and PUTRA are too comfortable with themselves and never even bother to upgrade their service. Worst still no maintenance is done else all those breakdowns wouldn't have occurred at the first place. Very disappointed and worried citizen... Are we going to head to Vision 2020 with such a transportation system? Huh!

have a break...

Stay Focus! -> Tip 2:

Never allow others to interrupt or disturb you during your thinking process. The best is to stay away from them or ignore them! Although our mind can process a lot of information at any one time, but it's processing speed is limited. Therefore to avoid it's processor to overload, it's better we concentrate on one instruction per intake. By doing so, it'll optimised the thinking process and produce a more accurate results.

Stay Focus! -> Tip 1:

“Don't ever give up when the going gets tough but keep on persevering and see it through. At the end of the day, you’ll turn out to be a much more stronger and enduring person.”

Stay Focus!

How to stay focus? Hmmm... been thinking abt this for a couple of days but still without much results... Always find myself pondering to something else in the middle of the thinking process. Yeah, couldn't "stay focus" at all!!! how am I supposed to overcome this weakness or come up with the ways to improve it. My mind always playing with me, throwing many other thoughts everytime I try to stay focus and concentrate on sthg. Is this normal ar? Am I being overly cautious? Maybe I'm but I just couldn't control it. But it's sthg I MUST do else I'll be missing a lot in this life or this year itself. If you are wondering what I'm trying to say here, bother no more cause it's something personal. The main topic here is "How to Stay Focus???" It's such a simple word but the action itself can bring big impact towards the way we see and do things. Can even make our life better! While I'm writing this post, I'm also trying my best to stay focus... sighed! I think if we're able to stay focus and take control of the way how our mind works and operate, we maybe heading to become what they call "genuis". They can control 10% of their brain and mind to make them do extraordinary things!!!

Quote of the moment:
"From time to time the exceptional is necessary. For events as well as for men, the stock company is not enough; geniuses are needed among men, and revolutions among events. Great accidents are the law; the order of things cannot get along without them; and, to see the apparitions of comets, one would be tempted to believe that Heaven itself is in need of star actors." -- Victor Hugo in ''Les Misérables

badminton @ SS24, Taman Megah

Yesterday, I had a good badminton session with Kel n KY a.k.a MY. Supposed to get another player but couldn't find one. Hmmm... any badminton player out there which don't really mind playing with us, please email me ! Therefore, couldn't do double but we went for a couple rounds of single then headed off to Ming Tien for our favorites jumbo juice! it's was very satisfying experience especially after a session of badminton workout. These days the amount of juice is much more as compared to the last time we went where literally the whole jumbo mug was mainly filled up with cubes of ice. KY was too hungry and couldn't resist the temptation to try out the "nasi lemak" there. ehehehe... guess if me and kel wasn't that hungry we would have fall for it too. While we were enjoying our food and drinks, we chatted about going elsewhere to build our career, enriching our life perspectives, meeting new people along the way and...etc...etc. Always think out of the box! Was a great Saturday! just wish we could do this every now and then. Life much more than just working hard, earning those few bucks and getting ourselves hooked to our job. There's so much more beauty in our life, we just need to view it from different angles. Thanks guys for accompanying me for a nice Saturday!

p/s: Went for War of the Worlds at night at BR. Hmmm...about the movie, not much to comment about just that it wasn't as good was what I've expected. Probably I was expecting too much and Steven Spielberg was just doing his best to follow the novel written by H.G.Wells on 1898. Although the suspense was quite good but it's just lacking of the technology. eheheheh...

KTM->Keep Trying Mistake!!!

couldn't believe it man. this morning was my 1st time late to work and it's not caused by myself but thanks alot to KTM. sighed. the usual train i took from jln kastam stn at 7:19am was delayed to 7:50am and i was late by 30mins. damn!!! this is not my 1st bad experience with KTM but a couple liao. not sure why after so many times but they seems like never learn the lesson. are they that stupid? i doubt so... or could it be it was driven by a bunch of pigs? very disappointing... usually we try our best to improve our services to provide our customer the first class service but KTM since like doing it otherwise. lately it's getting worse and worse! and to make things even worse, today after work i tried to take ktm back as usual and guess what they ticket salesman from KTM told me: "Please try to avoid taking our train now. They have been some sort of train breakdown along the kl-sentul track. and due to this, they were unable to switch the train and they are using one train to traverse up and down fr kl-sentul." what??? sounds very ridiculous don't you think so? and this is what i replied: "What? Why KTM always got such a service breakdown? You guys never learn wan ar?" (leave the ticketing counter in a disappointing look...) today was the worst man... can you imagine 2millions commuters rely on their services each day to travel from and back home. yeah, that's what the advertisement said on their advertisement section: "Please don't miss the chance to advertise with us else you are missing a big opportunity to bring your message across these people. We have 2 millions commuters who uses our services each day." Yeah, i tink we're going to miss this big opportunity soon if they continue to "improve" their services in such a manner. i believe only ghost will take their service then. nightmare!!!

p/s: KTM, please prove me wrong... and don't ask for another chance where you'll definitely screwed it again... i begged u...

You sincerely believe that everything around you is beautiful, even though other people may not notice. You are a determined person and set high goals for your life.

You are always wilful and most of the time, you are a stubborn person. But you love to work and are quite honest, which makes you good to get along with as a friend or lover.

Also, eddy
You are tough, hard-working and responsible. When you are assigned to do something, you will do your best no matter how difficult the job at hand might be.

You are logical, smart and inventive. Sometimes you are too cold and selfish.

So what's your results...???

3 days effort

finally managed to complete my new blog design and also a new name to it as well. *hooray* i'm happy and i'm sure you'll as well. ehehehe... not sure how most of you will think of this new touch and feel? do give some comments... i'm always in to take positive comments from any of you. as it says, to be able to do well in something, we must be able to take people's comment positively and improve from there. changed my profile picture as well. it's a frog in a *shock* state. why would he be in a shocked/surprised/confused state....??? cause he just woke up from his long hours sleep and when he saw this new direction in his life, he wasn't sure whether he should take that road or not. That's why he still look shocked/surprised/confused... where should he heads from here? it's up to he, himself to find out. people can only give you plenty of guides but the final decision is still lies within himself. no matter which road he decided to trudge there'll always plenty of challenges waiting for him along the way but he shouldn't just give up but instead take those as a incentives for him to further improve himself and be a better person. apart from the picture changed, i've managed to get some help from KY in coming up with this transparent background. thanks KY/MY! it looks cool and nice to me but not sure what others will say. it's from one of my favourite anime site. it's called AppleSeed. it's a very good anime. interesting storyline and the graphics is solidy done using OpenGL. hey WC, heard that? your favourite subject of all time. muahahaha.... i'm in the midst of downloading the whole anime movie and if any of you are interested do drop by and let me know. also added some new links and modified some of them on to ensure that it's properly aligned and layout. removed all the feeds i have in my previous blogspot cause i found that it's rather lengthy and not really useful since i can go directly to the website whenever i wanted to. maybe may add just one news feed instead of previous three. overall, i found the whole site looks much better now: neater, simple yet elegant, and overall it's just what i wanted to do for the past months. finally... huh... ehehehehe... 3x cheers to myself!!! :p

Four Friends

Four friends, who hadn't seen each other in 30 years, reunited at a party. After several drinks, one of the men had to use the bath room. Those who remained talked about their kids. The first guy said, "My son is my pride and joy. He started working at a successful company at the bottom of the barrel. He studied Economics and Business Administration and soon began to climb the corporate ladder and now he's the president of the company. He became so rich that he gave his best friend a top of the line Mercedes for his birthday." The second guy said, "Damn, that's terrific! My son is also my pride and joy. He started working for a big airline, he then went to flight school to become a pilot. Eventually he became a partner in the company,where he owns the majority of its assets. He's so rich that he gave his bestfriend a brand new jetfor his birthday." The third man said: "Well, that's terrific! My son studied in the best universities and became an engineer. Then he started his own construction company and is now a multimillionaire. He also gave away something very nice and expensive to his best friend for his birthday: A 30,000 square foot mansion." The three friends congratulated each other just as the fourth returned from the bath room and asked: "What are all the congratulations for?" One of the three said: "We were talking about the pride we feel for the successes of our sons....What about your son?" The fourth man replied: "My son is gay and makes a living dancing as a stripper at a gay nightclub." The three friends said: "What a shame...what disappointment." The fourth man replied: "No, I'm not ashamed. He's my son and I love him. And he's lucky, too. His birthday just passed and the other day he received a beautiful 30,000 square foot mansion,a brand new jet and a top of the line Mercedes from his three boyfriends.

new touch 'n' feel

have been wanted to changed my blog skin, font size, text alignment and the side bars but haven't really been able to do so cause was pretty hooked up with work for the past 1 mth. only recently am i able to so some touch-ups here and there. as for the new templated and white color background, i choose them cause i found that it does really reflects what i think and feel right now... also alwiz wanted something soothing and refreshing... most importantly plain, simple, bright and yet not too fancy... white background is very effective to grab the attention especially for colored pics. hmmm... i hope little blog of mine will have a new beginning and a new life for its owner itself... the next move is to think of a better name or pseudonym rather than "eddylsk" which sounds too lame itself... doesn't represent the blog and it's intention well... hahahahaha... well let see how many good names i could come up hopefully by this week and need to shortlist them before it's chosen as my official blog name.

initial D as good as the anime!



supposed to catch a couple of movies this weekend but due to time and budget constraint need to settle with the best movie of the weekend -> Initial D!!! i've planned to catch this movie since early this year when the news about the anime to be converted to a movie came out. hmmm... very very interesting movie! must watch! i guess u'll definite enjoy the whole movie better if u've seen one of the episode from the anime version. very nicely done and the characted all are well-chosen and suited for the movie itself. i'll say it's as close as 99% to the actual anime. not much of diversion. pls go and catch it if u haven't if not u r missing a whole lot of fun and excitement. get to see sporty and modified cars, chun chicks and some comedy added on which blends well with the whole movie. good acting, directing and drifting especially... 4.5 out of 5 stars!

"physiotherapist"

Physio was an intelligent boy. After doing a physiotherapy course abroad for 3 years, he returned home and set up a clinic in his hometown. He asked a designer to make a new name plate to be hung on the wall outside the clinic. The next morning, when he went to his clinic, he was pleased to find that the name plate was already put up. But he was greatly annoyed by the wordings on the plate : TUKANG URUT. He went to the designer and took him to task. "How can you insult my profession? 'Tukang Urut' means masseur in Malay. I am a physiotherapist and not a masseur! Make sure you change the name right now! And see that the word is spelt correctly!" Physio said angrily. The designer apologized and promised to make the immediately. Without further delay, he proceed to change the name but found that the word "physiotherapist' was too long. So he broke it up into three words to make it easier to read. The next morning, Physio hit the roof when he saw the new name. On the name plate were written : PHYSIO THE RAPIST

bored with my current blog template!!!

haih.. sigh... need sthg new fast else i'm gg to fall asleep looking at the same thing over and over again especially one that is shared among millions and millions of other bloggers out there. yeah, that's rite... i need a new skin / template! where to find? sighed... desperate moment requires drastic actions! will see what i can come up with this weekend... hopefully I can have a peaceful (work-free) weekend! *fingers-crossed*... as long as everything flow smoothly, no need to be hopeful, just stand by and savour my carefree weekend...!!!

rejuvenated after 1 month break...

I was away for almost a month. Reason being too busy with work and hardly have any spare time for myself. Although, I'm quite unhappy at times being constrained in such a way but I guess sometimes we just need to learn through the hard way. Want a good life and a good career, first of all we need to be able to manage both effectively without causing any overflow of time from one to another. Hehehehe... sounds familiar... indeed cause this is the ideal life that most of us envied and always more than willing to do any trade-offs just to get there. To juggle them effectively is not an easy tasks at all cause one need to be strong, positive, determined and great level of perseverance in order to make them flow smoothly and without any hatred generated due to the surplus of time taken by either one of them. Hmmm... sounds simple but to put them into practice is a totally different question. I've tried many times to do so but failed to make them function effortlessly and smoothly. Huh! I guess it's not a one night thingy but a continuous commitment required in making and shaping in to be better and better each time a crisis occurred.
Back to reality, basically the past one month was kind of "challenging" for me as there were so many things running through my mind every single seconds. Can't stop thinkining! Who can huh? Okok... that's enough! Was too held up with my work even on the weekends till i lost my blogging pleasure and excitement i've once had. Luckily, i was early to realise this and came straight in to prevent this from prolonging and may caused my life to be even more uncomfortable to sustain. This is what i called "lack of motivation" disease. Muahahaha... no cure but one can help themselves out by keeping in touch with the outside world especially with the blogosphere community. It's never a regret thing although i did felt so when i was "down" trying to figure out when i'll be here again to continue penning about my life journey... it never ends here!!!
Thoughts of the day: "Challenges are a daily norm!"
p/s: expecting more to come in the near future... hmmm... sounds like lots of fun and stress!!! combination of both, you'll get "advancement"...
