How To Handle Tension

The Moment you are in Tension
You will lose your Attention
Then you are in total Confusion
And you will feel Irritation
Then you will spoil personal Relation
Ultimately, you won't get Co - Operation
Then you will make things Complication
Then your blood pressure may raise Caution
And you may have to take Medication
Instead, understand the Situation
And try to think about the Solution
Many problems will be solved by Discussion
This will work out better in your Profession
Don't think it's my free Suggestion
It's only for your Prevention I
f you understand my Intention
You will never come again to Tension

How Can KFC Suprise You?

KFC is very very common now these days. I remember when I was much younger, we only go KFC for birthday party. Its a luxury to go KFC (for someone from a moderate family like me). I remember when we wants to go KFC, we will wear our nice clothes, gel hair and jumping up and down when going there. Then quickly wash hands while waiting for my parents to bring over the hot fried chicken. Those were the days.

Now at many times, KFC is a cheap food which is RM7.55++ per snack meal. In Kuala Lumpur's golden triangle, a nasi lemak or keow teow goreng can be RM15 to RM20. Infact fast food like KFC or McDonald could be our last choice for lunch.



As KFC is so so common now, how would a KFC surpise you now these days? Last night I went into above KFC. Its at Bandar Baru Sentul. Quite a good location near to Pizza Hut, 7Eleven and CIMB Bank. Nothing special..... just another KFC


I was just reading the word.... mmmm community care restaurant... Maybe the staff here are very caring I guess. But come to think again, when I look at the hand sign here..... mmmm ok.. it means "love".

Then I went it.. Woww.... why this restaurant so quiet? Then the waitress attending to me... refuse to talk to me. Have I done anything wrong! I ordered and she refuse to listen. Keep on pointing at the menu... again and again... I was pissed off! Take a step back... mmmm OOOooo arrr.. everyone is communicating by hand sign language. Oooo ok... I felt a bit sorry... So I just point at the set that I want to buy. All communicating by sign languge.


Immediately after come out from the restaurant, I try to find some hint about this restaurant. Its actually the first KFC in the world that is run by speech and hearing impaired. Oohhh ok.

MMmmmm i'll hold back my comments from the business point of view. While on community service, well its a good move. All the best to people running this shop. :)

Its Good Commuting (Take LRT)

Since I moved to Bandar Baru Sentul, commuting is my main way of travelling. Its so so convenient to take LRT from there because its the first station for Star LRT (Sentul Timur Station). I used to take Putra LRT before and now I can see the different because Star and Putra LRT. Star LRT has 5 or 6 decks (can't recall) but Putra LRT only has about 4 decks. More over the number of trains on the Star Tracks are more more often. On my way from Sentul Timur station to Titiwangsa Station with is just 2 stations away, I saw another 2 stations coming from the opposite direction and it always happen.


From Titiwangsa station, I walk to the Monorail Titiwangsa station which is just about 2 minutes cover and linked walking distance. Again Titiwangsa is the first station for monorail. I will take from Titiwangsa to Raja Chulan station to reach my office.


Since both Sentul Timur and Titiwangsa are the first stations for both train lines. Almost everytime I will get a seat unless if some train broke down which causes more people squeeze into one train.


I saved a lot of time in traveling and no jam ! no jam ! no jam! :) I like to go green and also it saved a lot of $_$ to take LRT. I used to spend about RM500 a month for petrol and office car park if I drive to work. Since now I take LRT, its merely about RM100 to spend on transportation to work.

Why Nova Wants To Stay At Sentul?

I have moved 6 times since graduate from my university, Northern University Of Malaysia (UUM) . The sequence is; UUM--->Ipoh--->Singapore--->Cheras--->PJ--->Genting Kelang---->Sentul (Now). Yes moving is not easy at all and you can say that again.

Why my place is so nice? I am staying at Melur Apartment. Its directly opposite Sentul Timur LRT station. That is half minute walking distance. Its very easy to board train from this station because its the first/last station. Then its connected to Titiwangsa monorail station. Walking from Star to Monorial Titiwangsa is about 1 to 2 minutes and its a covered link. Again, Titiwangsa is the first/last monorail station. From there I can easily take train to my office which is near Raja Chulan Station.

My apartment has 3 rooms. I am taking the master bedroom. Our unit is facing KLCC, KL Tower and Eye Of Malaysia. Its veryyyyyyyyyyy nice. Its on 24th floor thus its great to have the feeling of everything under your feet. While writing this blog I am actually looking at KLCC. Our balcony, master bedroom and middle room has view facing all those Malaysia's landmark.

I am using Izzy wireless broadband. Apparently the speed at here is above satisfaction. And its damn cheap. I am only paying RM66 per month without any phone line. It saved me the hassle to apply for streamyx line or request change line when i move. Izzy can be setup in less than 5 minutes time.

The residence demographic here are generally Malay and with some Indian and foreigners. Anyway I am not a racist guy. Infact I think the Malay here are more educated and friendly. They talk to us when we first move in and some even help us to move our stuff. That gave me a very good experience about this place.
