Awas! Bahan Letupan!

I was driving along MRR2 near Sri Gombak to work and I saw this military truck next to me. It didn't take me long to look at what's on the signage. I sat up straight and noticed that there's no military police escort or any military sort. This ain't any of your normal festive fireworks, I'm sure!




Surely it is not a prank. Is this how military explosives are transported these days?

MAF14

Spotted this car while I was looking for mine in a shopping mall car park. It's so cool, so I thought might as well take some snaps. Check out the number plate!


Don't play play.

Between tak apa attitude and possibly death

It was scary. The steels were jerking out from the "safety extension" of the lorry, of course, unless you are blind and dumb.

There are speed bumps ahead. A simple bump could just unlock the steels and set them loose.
It's just nasty. In the name of "susah cari makan" and rapid development, there is really no consideration to the safety of other drivers these days.

Deadly smokey trail

Smokey bus good for your health?

More smoke screen from hell, now you can't really see the bus, can you?

The deadly smoke trail is a courtesy from JPJ Puspakom HQ in Setapak where the bus had just left that premise.

How to play?

Well, a well known bank recently (and ongoing as of this writing) organised a online contest for all their customers. All you need to open an account in any deposit accounts. The prize? Up to RM3k on weekly basis. Despite the high standard of living in KL, RM3k is still a lot of money. So much money until someone resorted to hacking the bank's application and he/she succeeded!



This may not be the bank's core transactional system, but it's still a scary thought though. Still wanna deposit your monies with them?

Lady janitor in men's toilet

Eight out of ten times I walk in to a men's toilet, especially in any shopping mall, I find a lady janitor cleaning... in the men's toilet while men 'openly' weeing away. It is weird and I do feel awkward when relieving myself. I'm sure she feels the same. Anyway, do you think it is ethically right for a lady to be in a men's toilet while men relieves themselves? If it is not okay, then why are they there?

Where's the bus stop?



Both of the above pictures show the same place but of different direction. It's not a great picture but it's telling though. Are you able to find the bus stop? What else did you noticed which is so glaring unless you're blind? The whole 5foot walkway has been taken over by illegal hawkers. Kids from school across the street and people who lived there are forced to walk on the road to get to another place. Legal and rent-paying shop lots are forced to compete with these illegal booths for customers. No, they're not your fly-by-night setups. They have stable electrical lines and good running water. From where? I don't know. They have been there for like 5 years or so. Towards efficient 2020? More like going backwards like third-world country. And this, all thanks to DBKL.

Seat belt not needed.

I'm just curious. Every time i drive by a moving police patrol car, I can't help but to take a look at the front passengers (driver included). 10 out of 10, these policemen don't put on the safety seat belt. I am just wondering if these men really worried about crumpled uniforms or their life at stake. Studies have shown, speed kills even with a mere 60kmph. And there you know it, that is why I am not in police force.

Between morons and idiots

My jaws nearly fell off when I saw these men standing on an extension of a moving truck, cruising along 65kmph, on a middle lane at Jalan Kuching in KL at 10am working day. No, they are not film making stunt men and they are not making any films. They're just DBKL general workers. I followed the truck for next 5km or so, and I have no idea why these guys are doing this stupid thing. They're just dangerously standing there doing nothing! If these guys are so macho, go join the Bomba (firefighter's) team. As least if they do met an accident, it will be seen as heroic, but to meet an accident just by standing on an open edge of a moving truck, I don't know if I'll be as sympathetic. Or maybe it serves them right to be an idiot. More so, without using common sense.
