Earthquake in Padang,Sumatra

At 6.18pm while most of the people were still in office and some were on the way back home.Measuring 7.9 at Richter scale is very dangerous.Some of the Malaysians especially in Kuala Lumpur,Putrajaya,Penang, and Johor Baru can feel the tremor.

Traumatic incident caused thousand of people in Padang,Sumatra trapped inside and at least 21 people were killed so far.It happened all of a sudden.There is no time for you to escape.When I heard of this news,I was shocked.I even getting more worry when she told that she felt the earthquake as she worked in KL.

At 6.38pm, another earthquake measuring 5.5 at Richter scale just 11km from Padang.Affected students who were studying in Andalas University were reported safe and no one was hurt in the incident.We are so lucky that it did not happen in Malaysia.If it happens, I really don't know what to do.Hearing about the news, I already feel shock.We should thank God for that.Let's pray for all of them who are affected will be rescued soon.

chasing the train..petrol price hike again.

It was a late evening after my viva.even though we had not finished presented,our lecturer had to go too..as it that time was after office hour..i bought a train ticket at 6pm from Ipoh to KL..However,due to viva,I tried to board the train from Kampar which was schedule to be about 636pm..It was not that lucky..I called my very close friend to fetch me.

However,he was not available..LOL..i was so panic that I would miss the train..think for a second.called 1 of my housemate,but he did not have extra helmet..i was getting more tension and tension..sweating...Aha!Another housemate...he just returned to Ipoh...sad lo..think for a second again while packing up all my belongings..The one who lives just next to my room...yea~~he was so kind enough to fetch me to the train station..

Luckily, he was available and was able to fetch me to train station...once i reached there,there was a gal waiving to me..i did not know what had happened..then i asked one of the student there who was standing outside the entrance.She told me that the train had cancelled..I said,"What???"...what on earth is happening..i was rushing to the station and now the train to KL had cancelled...In my heart, i was very disapponted lo since i could not board a train to KL...i thought i would go KL the next day..however,i could not do that.As this will make her feel even more disapponted than me.

By the time i knew that train had cancelled.my friend already left me lo...i did not have his handphone number leh..OMG..once again i felt "bu hao yi shi" cos i need to "ma fan" him again to fetch me back..haihz..When we reached hostel,we back to our room lo..I thought for a second.I" want drive to KL"..I called and made a decision.yea~i realy drove to kl lo..at about 9pm i departed.i sent my clothes to laundry..then i pumped petrol into my car..else i need to push my car in da middle of highway to kl..LOL..quite cheap eh..ROn95..but its price had increased since 1Sept.WTF...i remembered well that there will be slight increment when RON95 is used to phase out RON92..however,the price increases a gain for a 2nd time from Rm1.75 to Rm1.80..WTF man.

Anyway,it does save my petrol..However,its quality is not that good compare to RON97 and VPower.I am a regular VPower user.Even though,it costs few more cents than regular ron97 but it gives power to the car engine and cleaner..However,wat i have seen so far in ipoh is that,there is no more VPower~~~~they replace it with RON95 and RON97..Come on man.it does not gip much different between RON95 and RON97 in terms of car power.but it makes difference to the fuel consumption~~RON95 saves more petrol but it can cause more carbon comes out from exhaust.this means tat the car engine can spoil easily.that is wat i know.RON95 and RON97 do not gip much power as compare to VPower.It can be proven if u are using automatic transmission car.when u go up hill,there will be no change in gear for Vpower and the speed is remained constant.But if u are using RON95 and RON97 u will see the car speed will decrease 10 - 20km/hr..

Even VPower cost abt 10-2o cents + more however, u can save many kilometres..So,what u think abt the better qualithy petrol now?stil think that cheaper petrol can save ur pocket money?it is just a short term lo..LOL...
