Ok here’s the good news.. Today my colleague showed me an artikel in newspaper about a budget malaysian airline secured flight route contract from Kuala Lumpur to UK, and will secure some more european cities pretty soon! I scanned and post the news and i realized from Breda and Barbara that the similar news also spread today is Slovenia.. So i guess, it’s like some kind of history on the making..

The malaysian airline (you know, the red one with always hot stewardess aboard) mentioned that this cheap flight would be as much as RM 500 for return flights! OK, this is not more than one fifth regular economy flight tickets i know.. They will begin this route on july.. So keep your finger crossed! And for my friends on whole europe, watch out who’d knock on your doors on your lazy summer days! ;)
i’m so excited!

ride in the dark

Friday, January 5th, 2007

Do you commute? Are you usually bored riding a train or bus for so long every morning?

Well.. Have you ever try to close your eyes and listen? Just listen to all the voices near you.. Take off that earphone from your mp3 player, close your eyes and listen to things..

This morning when i took MRT, i managed to find a seat and did this.. Ok honestly, first i didn’t want to share my precious seat if any old lady come aboard, so i pretended To sleep :p yeah i know that’s bad.. But ah come on, you did this sometimes too, didn’t you?

When i closed my eyes i only hear quiteness, train wheels running accross the track and nice lady voice that telling you where the next stop would be and to mind the platform gap between the train and the concourse.. But then i began to hear some people writing sms on their cellphone, which sometimes rang with those funny annoying ringtones.. Later i began to hear people small movements.. Not just that.. In some level, your nose started to smell their aftershave and deodorants, or you might had bad luck that you able to smell what the person next to you had for breakfast! Ha!

so it’s true that when you shut one of your sense, the other sense would become stronger.. Yeah i remembered this feeling when i came to an exhibition in Leipzig years ago.. It was created by blind community to ‘promote’ to people who has better eye sight on how it would be if you become blind.. So terrifying! I went inside this show case which had no light at all! I mean literally dark! You cannot even see your own nose! Luckily, i got a blind guide and a long stick to orientated my way accross all dummy environments on the show case, such as park, street and zoo.. We wrapped up the tour in the bar (still without light) where i managed to order and make coffee while giving all my coins to the bartender because hell! I couldn’t see if it’s 10 cents or 2 euro!?! Well, he did give some change, but then again.. How the hell i know!?? Yes yes.. I trust the guy :)
ok, i hope you will never ever lose your eye sight! But i do suggest to try closing your eyes and let the other sense take control (eg. best time is while commute).. But be careful, you don’t wanna miss your stop! ;)
