Mondays

Whilst you are always eager and motivated to be at work on Mondays, it must however be taken with reservation, because Mondays usually have surprises.


As usual, after 2 days or more left idle my 150cc bike need several kicks before the engine roared.

So, off I went and 3 minutes later at the roundabout, already there was an accident!. A light brown proton wira with it's bonnet in argony! Must be a hard slammed from a big vehicles. It's hazzard lights flickering away. Looked like only the car was hit badly.

The sky is just breaking up at 7am and I continued my ride, praying, ..."O Allah, make it a good Monday for me, have me savely home by end of the day."

Handicap using ticket?

She, a blind women, stepped into the LRT from Bangsar to KL Sentral. It was peak hours time, the train packed like sardines. No, she choosed not to be seated because she is going just to KL Sentral.

A young veiled malay girl hold her during the short ride. Getting off is maybe scary for her, I guessed, so I stayed close behind her. Seemed that she is not familar with the station tropo. Saw her white stick hitting the floor vigorously. I guided her to the escalator. I left her there and I took the staircase.

We have to queued at the exit. Again I heard that familiar sound. I turned around a saw her going for the queue. She had a ticket in her hand! The security on duty took her through the side gate and she was waving the ticket in her hand. The security put it through the reader. Then she walked on "tick, tick, tick, tick, tick....."

I don't know, do special citizens need tickets for public transport? Can't the counter or any of the staff on duty see her buying the ticket or going through the gate where she got in..Bangsar?

p.s. Do they have to buy tickets at movies? Maybe, they'll get through if the ticket counters staff are not sensitive!

Temporary Slip

My monthly pass was unreadable yesterday evening on my way back home. The gate says "ticket unreadable". The counter gave me a "temporary slip" and told me to collect my unreadable monthly ticket at anytime a day after.

With the slip it is much faster, no queue required. The side auto-gate is faster.

Now, question is, can I have the "temporary slip" permanently?

Aunty take this seat

"No, it's all right, thank you!" That's how 'some' people answer you, surprisingly! So, not all taking advantage or opportunity. Some understandbly knowing they arrived late at the station will be at disadvantage, that they have to stand throughout the journey, not long though. 10 minutes to Tasik Selatan or 20 minutes to Putrajaya or 30 minutes to Salak Tinggi. Ok..enjoy the trip standing aunty wherever you will be getting off.

Almost first stop now..and someone near her stood up to get off the station Tasik Selatan, and now she have to sit throughout the rest of the journey..I felt good seeing her seated.

Next 30 minutes

Saw the ERL crossing the interchange. I'll missed my usual train, the 7.28am. Missed it by 3 minutes! The next train will be at 7.58am. ETA office a bit tight 8.45am. That's 15 minutes late! However, you can compensate by completing your tasks, way after 6-8pm. Swept my monthly pass through the gate. RM135.00 remaining. No problem with the pass, after all, it will be invalid when the period is dued in early April. So there goes some RM80.00 (more or less). Just consider that as a sunk cost for the month's transportation. It is still very cheap.

Two airplanes flew over the station. They just took off from KLIA. Their flight paths has always been the same. So are the 4 express ERL trains that went passed the station both ways.

Announcement in the station saying our train will arrive in 2 minutes. Better pack now, the crowds are building up.

30 Minutes

Talking about bliz talks, tonite I met Mokni of HR and Rizal of GEMS on the LRT and ERL. Talks focus on current movement in the organization. Mokni said the confusion over the letters sents was due to non-availability of valithe dated lists of and names from units/divs sent to them. Rizal talked about the future and beyond of where the organization will be. Everyone has their rights to worry.

Transfer

Finally, despite the chaos that I went through daily for the last 2 days, I finally got my transfer order. I have been here for about a year and a half and it is time to move on to get more operational experience. The effective date forf tansfer will be 1st April 2008 and that is just next week! So it nothing new, just a transfer but the job will be almost the same.

Appreciating

Some people do have problem with appreciating. I don't know why. Life must have been so cold that appreciation is no longer a word in their dictionary. I tried my best to protect so that the function and the unit will still hold a reputation. Somehow my trying was looked the other way.

Again, I am in control of my emotions. I knew that, that he wants is just info and that's nothing to do with life and death! So, what the hack! Just get a phone call and that's it. It is good that he has a sandbag somewhere in his unit. I still can absord it. I think, better this way that react because from what I see, I can never win in words. Not all is right. Sometime his explaination are wrong. But again, you can never win! Make it easy on him, give him what he wants. Sometime it is just impossible to be doing 2 things at a time and you are also at two different places! So silence is the best strategy
