SupermanHaze Returns! I smell the haze once I get out from my car towards my house just now. It become stronger and stronger this few days. It’s back!

The haze make few feel sick this few days… make me feel dizzy… damm… must drink more water!

I uploaded my new theme last few days and it runs without any problem (so far).

I also deleted the “Archives” page because I already added it at my sidebar.

I also deleted the “Wordpress Theme” page because I feel the old theme is quite ugly.. hehe.

I also added a “About” page.

Just now when I browse to my “About” page, I saw a Google Video Ads. This is the first time I see this type of ads and somemore it is on my own blog :)

Driving is very tiring…

… especially driving home after a long day work. I’m a software programmer cum tester, I think a lot… After a 8 hours of working hours (sometime more than that), I always want to go back as soon as possible…

… it is really tiring when I’m trapped in traffic jam on my way home, it is not once… but 2 to 3 times trapped in traffic jam (road infront Prince hotel, road in front TimeSquare, Jln Syed Putra, roundabout at Jln Gasing…).

… everyday, I tried to speed up (well my top speed at Jalan Syed Putra is 90km/h and I’m always behind my colleague’s whom go home together at the same time) whenever the traffic is a bit smooth because I want reach home as soon as possible… to have my dinner, relax and watch tv series …

… speeding make me take extra caution. this is tiring also. I’m driving a 7 years old car with manual gear transmission. I need to aware the car from the left, from the right, from infront and from behind. I need to consider the car distance and see if the car behind is too close to mine whenI want to press the break…

… when driving at night, the lights of cars from the other side of road and behind make my eyes tiring also… but I can’t avoid that. I need to keep my eyes open …

… when driving home, my brain almost stop functioning, I’m tired, I don’t want think anything else… So, I rarely talk in car. I already suspended my mind, relaxing my mind, listen to the songs play in radio… I skipped those gossip because I just don’t like that…

… since university time, 7 years ago, I used to be like that. No one talking in the car (since I’m the only one in the car), soft music and… traffic jam …

… whenever I can go back early from university and if there is no jam, me and one of my coursemate will race at Jln Gasing (not too fast but it’s quite fast in that small road). I’m driving my “mclaren” (my grey color Proton Wira), he was driving his “ferrari” (his read color old Mazda model), we played “missed call” on our phone while driving, we raced untill the junction to Old Klang Road …

… I think I spent too much on car. I spent about RM300/month for petrol and RM70/month for car park. Sometimes, I use NPE toll when want go back home fast (when I’m sick or got appointment), it cost me RM1.60…

… What about car maintenance and car wash? I used about RM300++ on my car’s maintenace in this month and RM200++ last month. I was thinking to buy a new car which is petrol saving type. After an advise from a friend with some calculation, it is not worth to buy a new car just for petrol saving…

… maybe I should try to take public transport for a week someday and see if it will be more economic than driving a car in city…

… sigh … maybe I should find more money for accommodate that problem :) …

New wordpress theme again for my blog :)

I am still editing the theme actually because some of the php files are not fully modified yet. Therefore some of the page might look miss-aligned.

Anyway I upload the theme here for a test run and of course, comments are welcome too.

Last Sunday went to a newly open restaurant at Bandar Puteri, Puchong with a few friends for lunch - The Lok Lok Street Steamboat. The restaurant is opened by one of my ex-colleague.

The idea of the restaurant is quite impress. Instead of having “lok lok” and sweating at the road side, you now have it in the air-conditional restaurant. Friends and family can enjoy “lok lok” togehter in a such a comfortabl and harmony enviroment.

There is a “lok lok” lorry inside the restaurant and the “lok lok”s are sit behind the “lok lok” lorry.

There are variaty types of “lok lok”… around 70 to 80 types of “lok lok” according to the boss. Price range from RM0.50 to RM6.00 per “lok lok”. Without thinking much, four of use grabbed 6 plate of “lok lok”s and start cooking lok lok.

Special home made sauces. Highly recommend the middle one.. Mix it with “wantan” mee cooking with herbal soup.. yummy!

Each table has it own pot of soup. They have four types of soup: Satay, Clear Soup, Tom Yam and Herbal. You can choose either two of those soup. We chose herbal and satay soup as our lok lok soup.

We had our lunch and chit-chat there untill 3pm.

The staffs there were pretty friendly. Maybe that day is the first day of their opening, I feel a bit “kelam-kabut” there. Anyway, it is a nice place to go.. for lunch or dinner… nice enviroment, nice taste and not too expensive also.

The place is easy to find, it is just located next to the Giant Puchong. Below are address and contacts:

more review

Last saturday and sunday went to Pahang with a few friends. At first, our plan was going to sungai lembing to climb up (walk up the stairs actually) to the Bukit Tapis but we also stopped at a few places on journey to and back from sungai lembing.

At first we went Tasik Chini to see red lotus and visited a “orang asli” village on other edge of the lake.

Then we went to Teluk Cempedak, a nice and clean beach.

Then we reached Sungai Lembing at night. We stayed overnight there and wokeup at 4.30am. We walked up to the Bukit Tapis and it took about 45 minutes to reach the top of the hill. Unfortunately we unable to see to sun rise. After we had came down from the hill, we took our breakfast near a morning market there and walked around some places in the village of Sungai Lembing.

About 2pm sunday, we went to Cherating to drink coconut water. The coconut was not fresh and the beach is not as nice as Teluk Cempedak.

After that we went Kemaman to taste the famous coffee at “Hai Bin” coffee shop.

…. then we went back home. We used around RM100/person for the trip including foods, rent 2 bots at Tasik Chini, rent a house at sungai lembing and petrol for 2 cars. A trip that really made me feel relax from my busy daily work.
