Festive Decorations in Malls |
好快又到聖誕喇(好嘢!!), 見到好多人都紛紛將影低啲商場聖誕裝飾擺上網.. 確實係可以感染到歡樂氣氛, 而商場應該係我哋可以感受到佳節氣氛嘅主要場地.. 以前我見到呢啲裝飾會興奮到猛咁影相, 不過今時今日已經鮮少做咁嘅事喇.. 就好似由當初嘅「嘩」到今日嘅「嗯」, 啲裝飾好似來來去去都大同小異, 唔係似自己幾年前嘅, 就係似人哋舊年嘅, 哈哈!! 大家都知我係個容易對舊事物產生厭倦嘅人啦, 所以除非係新穎又創新嘅裝飾, 我通常都會選擇繞過(同時避開人群)而不望一眼.. 仲有一樣嘢, 大家應該知道商場啲所謂嘅「落雪」啦.. 係好靚又好睇, 不過我肯定會避之則吉囉, 因為冇人知佢哋係用咩(化學物品)整啲泡泡出嚟㗎嘛.. 有位朋友就曾經同我講過, 佢件淨色恤衫因為呢啲泡泡而變成件白色斑點衫!! 唔.. @.@" 我都話過我係個非主流嘅人啦, 由我個blog都可見一斑啦.. 又或者應該話我已一把年紀喇?? 哈哈!! :p |
Christmas is just around the corner (yay!!) and i can see many posted or posting photos of Christmas decorations in malls onto their blogs and Facelook.. it surely feels joyous and i guess the malls are the major places we get to feel the festive huh?? i used to be excited at all these decorations in malls and would take photos too, but i guess i rarely do that now.. it's like from the then "wow" to the now "hmmm", they look pretty much the same, of the same mall or like another mall, in previous years, haha!! you know i am one who easily gets bored with the same old thing, unless the decorations is some very new and creative ideas, i would have just chosen to bypass (also to avoid the crowd) without giving a look.. and another thing, you know those "snowing” thing in malls i suppose?? nice to see lah but i would definitely avoid, i do not like those soap foam falling on me, and who knows what (chemical things) they use to make those foam?? my friend once told me his plain color shirt turns into one with white polka dots after the foam fell on him, hmmm.. @.@" okay, i told you i am not mainstream, like you can see from my blog.. or maybe i shall say because i am getting old already?? haha!! :p |

My Very First UBER Experience |
上個星期終於有過我嘅第一次Uber體驗喇.. 話說要由公司去某處辦事, 與其去截的士, 腦子中忽然醒起Uber這回事, 因為曾經聽過唔少正面回應, 倒不如一試?? 於是下載咗Uber手機程式及登記為用戶, 當我正在讓自己熟習程式操作之時, 突然有通電話入嚟.. 原來係位Uber司機打嚟確認我個booking, 跟住話十分鐘後嚟接我!! 驚訝呀, 因為我仲係喺度探索緊個手機程式, 都唔知我其實無意中已經叫咗部車囉, 認真失禮!! 就係咁快咁易咁方便, 呢個初體驗絕對由驚喜開始, 哈哈!! 司機十分鐘後揸住佢部不足一年嘅Perotiga Asia準時到達.. 雖然稱不上為舒服(大家都知呢款車啦), 但至少車內乾淨企理又冇異味.. 司機友善, 講得一口流利英文, 似係有受過高等教育, 我哋在車程上針對Uber及一般的士傾咗陣謁.. 廿分鐘後安全到達目的地, 手機即時響起幾個通知 - 就信用卡扣咗多少車資有個短訊, 收據已經發送到我電郵, 手機程式叫我為呢個車程打分.. 果然高效率!! 雖然未留意到如其他乘客所講嘅免運礦泉水, 而我又唔清楚車資是否比一般的士貴定平, 但係我將來肯定會再次幫襯.. 哦, 呢篇唔係咩俾錢寫貼㗎, 完全係自己要寫嘅, 順便喺度同大家分享我個邀請碼, 大家登記會員時輸入此碼, 就可以得到一次不超過RM20嘅免費車程, 筍嘢呀!! :) 我的邀請碼: shermank44ue, 或到此處領取.. |
i finally had my very first Uber experience last week.. i wanted to go somewhere from office and instead of getting a taxi, this Uber thing came into mind and i thought why not give it a try since i heard many positive reviews about it?? so i downloaded the apps and registered, while getting myself familiar with the apps, an unknown number called in out of expectation.. it was an Uber driver telling me my booking was confirmed and he was on the way to pick me up in 10 minutes!! i was shocked as i was just exploring the apps and didn't know i may have accidentally made a request, ooopsss!! it was that quick and easy, a first experience started with surprise, haha!! the driver was punctual with his Perotiga Asia which is less than a year old.. i won't say it was comfortable (we know that model well) but at least the car was clean and smelled fresh.. the driver was friendly, speaks good English, seems well educated and we had a pleasant chat on Uber versus KL taxis.. i was safely sent to my destination after 20 minutes and right away, my phone beeped some notifications - SMS saying my credit card was charged with the fare, a receipt was sent to my email and the apps asked me to rate the trip.. holy efficient!! though i didn't notice any free mineral water like what the reviews i read mentioned, and i have no idea if the fare was higher or lower than normal taxis, it was indeed a happy first-time and i will surely continue using Uber service.. BTW, this is not a paid post but sengaja want to write about it, so that i can at the same time share my code that you can key-in during your registration to earn a free ride up to RM20.. :) my invite code: shermank44ue, or redeem it here.. |
2015.12.11 | 鐵運高漲
[Volume 10 Issue 12, #2082] |
Price Hike of The KL Rail Transport |
請在圖上滑動鼠標以便局部放大指向區域 Move your cursor on the image to magnify the pointed region |
我諗我哋嘅道路收費起價, 緊接而來嘅鐵運車資漲價, 已經唔係咩新聞啦.. 我其實又唔係反對車資加價, 只不過漲幅應該循序漸進, 而唔係似依家咁短時間內大幅暴增囉.. 增幅係唔應該超過一成, 但係你睇下家陣由五成起至超過原本兩倍!! 說到底, 當初未開始工程之前, 就已經做好長遠回本計算, 所有因素及開支都考慮周到啦, 所以係唔expect會有大幅度調整㗎喎, 同唔同意?? 我就喺我屋企嗰個站拍低咗呢個車資表, 同時間質疑車資調整嘅邏輯.. 如果大家放大上面張圖, 留意我用黃色框畫起嘅兩段車線, 你會發現原來車資唔一定同距離成正比, 反而有幾個站嘅車資係比鄰近車站貴嘅.. 難理解呀, 係唔係因為呢幾個站人流多, 所以當局先決定收貴啲呢?? 睇落都真係有失理由, 唔多妥, 唔多公平喎.. |
i guess it's not news anymore to the price hike of our road tolls followed by the KL rail transports.. i actually don't object price increase, but it should be done gradually and not with a steep hike in such a short notice.. the increase should not be more than 10% but what we have now is 50% and even more than 100%!! afterall, all factors including costs and inflation should have already been considered for the ROI before they even initiated the project, and hence we should not expect big adjustments in the fares, agree?? I took a photo of this fare schedule at my home station and i wonder how "rational" the fares are set.. if you would zoom in the photo above, pay attention to the yellow boxes i have highlighted.. the fare isn't necessarily proportional to the distance, but fares to some stations are higher than the neighboring stations!! puzzled, could these be the more popular and utilized stations that the authority decided to charge higher fares?? doesn't seem any logical, right and fair to me.. |
2015.12.09 | 遙控購物
[Volume 10 Issue 12, #2081] |
On-The-Line "Remote" Shopping |
如果你問我點解咁少寫關於書籍嘅話, 其實係因為我 講到以呢個方式去買嘢, 大家有冇試過, 認為佢得唔得?? 我哋通常去商場或網上購物, 依家多得啲短訊程式及視像通話, 我哋又可以以呢種通過朋友嘅「遙控」方法購物.. 我同朋友經常會咁㗎, 無論實購定網購, 只要發過去啲商品嘅相甚至鏈接, 來回數個訊息之後, 就搞掂㗎喇!! 當中嘅精髓呢, 就係兩人嘅品味要夾, 而買家又要當機立斷當場作出決定, 哈哈!! 當然最終都係能夠買到心頭好為先啦.. 聽落幾唔錯呀呵?? :p |
if you ever wonder why i seldom write about books, then that is simply because i talking about this way of shopping, how often do you do this and are you comfortable with it?? we shop in malls and we shop online, now we also shop "remotely" through friends on the line, thanks to all the instant messaging apps and video calls.. i do this with friends often (either in shops or online), sending over photos or links of the stuffs, and with a few messages exchanged, things are already in the cart.. the essence of this is, both must click in preference, and that the buyer must be decisive enough to make the call on the spot, haha!! in the end, the best part would be able to hunt for what the buyer wants!! sounds good?? :p |
2015.12.07 | 電話號碼
[Volume 10 Issue 12, #2080] |
(Remembering) Telephone Numbers |
我唔肯定依家係唔係仲有人用緊手寫電話簿, 但我可以確定我哋都曾經擁有過如上圖嗰啲可以擺入銀包嘅迷你電話簿.. 兩片有磁石嘅面, 中間係一張好長但折得好企理嘅紙, 紙上印有數百行任你寫低親朋好友嘅電話號碼.. 係, 你完全記得!! 哈哈.. 老實講, 仲用緊呢本嘢(真係我仲收到依家嘅實物呀!!)嘅時候, 都係為咗一紙紀錄啫, 因為我都記得晒當中好多嘅電話號碼, 完全都唔駛打開本嘢嚟睇㗎.. 家陣當然就唔同啦, 可能係年紀及科技發達嘅原因, 邊有需要, 或者更正確嚟講係邊有能力, 去記埋啲電話號碼?? 有邊位個腦中可以記得超過五個電話號碼嘅, 請舉手!! 呵呵.. 你話喇, 直接喺個屏幕上面㩒一㩒, 又或者用聲控噏咗個名就可以打電話, 幾易!! 以往經常都會喺Facelook見到類似「唔見咗個手機, 請發短訊讓我重獲你的號碼」嘅訊息, 但係呢啲都逐漸被淘汰啦, 因為依家全部都存晒入雲端啦.. 其實咁樣係幫緊我哋, 定還是害緊我哋呢?? 正如冇咗自己部電話, 要你用其他電話打俾朋友, 應該都有點難度呀呵?? 哈哈.. |
while i am uncertain if anyone is still using a handwritten phonebook now, i am very sure we all did have this type of mini phonebook we put in our wallet like the one in the picture above.. two magnetic covers holding a folded long piece of paper with hundreds of two-column rows for you to write down the numbers of your friends and relatives.. yes, you remember that!! haha.. frankly, during that time i was using this phonebook (yes, this was what i had and i am still keeping it!!), it was merely for record because i could remember the numbers of many in the list in my mind, i didn't even need to refer to the phonebook at all.. of course now, probably due to age as well as the convenience of technology, i don't bother, or to be precise, am unable, to even remember any numbers in my mind.. hands up if you can remember 5 numbers in your mind!! haha.. agree or not, it is so easy to just tap on the screen the person in your call list or phonebook, or even use voice control by just saying the name.. we used to always see messages on Facelook like "lost my phone, please message me so that i get your number again", but even this is already obsolete since everything is backed-up to the cloud now.. is this actually helping us, or is it not?? when we do not have our phones with us, it seems we may have difficulties making calls from another phone huh?? haha.. |
