Trip to KLCC by public bus!


Last Saturday instead of driving down to KL I took a public bus down to KLCC to buy a shoe.

I have not been taking public transport, bus since I was primary, about 25 years ago and back in those days I only paid about 80 cent. Well cant compare nowlah. Air-cond bus with tv screen. Not much of place to sit but very roomy now. Oh its a rapidKL bus. Immediately get into the bus we have to pay for the ride to the driver. I brought along my touch n go card assuming can use but cannot. The ride cost RM2.50 and I only have RM5 (smallest note) that I have. Ok next time I have to make sure I will have the exact change. The bus driver only move after he issue the ticket to everyone. We are suppost to come in from the front door and get out from the middle door.

Really enjoy my trip down to KL till accidently bump into an old friend. We chat for a while and he asked me still driving the oldcar ("jing cha kan lei ker kao cheh") and I said yes. He asked me im I planning to change ("Kei si woon cheh") and I said no and no point. Maybe he tried to tell me he bought a new but I don't border to ask him back. The point is whats wrong with my current car? only 4 years old and thats nothing wrong with it at all. What is his point?

Ok lets come back to the whole objective of this trip. I finally bought the shoe that I been eyeing for few years and 40% off.

CD, VCD and DVD... .WMV


Real life experience!

Client – yes i need you to edit out the unwanted scene and commercial from few videos that I have and im going to play this video on my outlet. Its a 30 min thing.

Videoman – can do it and what is the format you want?

Client – format?!?! I got some cds with me?

Videoman – what I mean is after I edited the video do you want it in VCD or DVD?

Client – just give me the cd

Videoman – er.. let me explain again. Where are you going to view the movie after I edited it?

Client – on computer

Videoman – im sure that your outlet computers can read VCD or DVD but do your outlet have a DVD-ROM?

Client – my outlet computer’s comes with cd-player!

Videoman - !?!?! have you try to play any VCD or DVD video on your outlet before?

Client – yes both VCD and DVD also can view.

Videoman – ok good. So do you prefer VCD or DVD?

Client – which one better?

Videoman – depend on your source that you are going to give me. So the source is VCD or DVD?

Client – its s CD!!!

Videoman – ?!!??! have you view those cd’s that you have before on a player before? Is it VCD or DVD?

Client – yes i did and they are my promo videos!

Videoman – ok! So after I edited it you want me to burn as VCD or DVD?

Client – which one better?

Videoman – depend on your original source and which player or can your computer can read dvd? If your computer can read DVD it should be able to play VCD and DVD quality is much better!

Client- ok I want DVD! I prefer WMV file so that my other outlet with slower computer can read!

Videoman - ?!?! oh you want DVD-DATA lah?

Client – no WMV !

Videoman – I can convert and burn into DVD-VIDEO or DVD-DATA file so which one you prefer? (I said about DVD-VIDEO since he said his outlet can play DVD-VIDEO)

Client – which one clearer?

Videoman – if you want WMV file mean I give you a DVD-DATA disc. (don't border to explain about CD-R since the client video is only 30mins that can fit into a CD-R with WMV file format)

Client – ok. When can you come over and collect the CD?


after collecting the CD realize its a CD-R/ CD-DATA and the source inside is WMV.
