Team dinner @ 1 Utama

5:47 PM 0 Comments
Today was our second team dinner. This was the real team dinner. I mean, this included our whole ( most of them.. please excuse, those opted for another day ) team and team manager.

This time, we opted the place at 1 Utama. It was Korean steam boat. Much differ from my past experience with steam boat. This was very fantastic.

First time, I was going to One Utama. So, I decided to go early and to see around, then to join with my team. Despite the heavy thunder, I left at 5:45pm for the 8:00pm dinner party. Unfortunately, it was terrible traffic jam from Bukit Damansara till Bandar Utama. Even though I caught the bus at 6:20pm, the bus reached Bandar Utama at 8:30pm and it was heavy shower outside till I reach my destination. So, my plan to see the One Utama washed away in the heavy lashes.

The dinner was very good and this time, I really enjoyed. Due to some of my colleagues, rushed to go back at 9:50pm, I had to rush to fit my tripod to take a group photo ( see the pic ). Few guys closed their eyes, but overall the photo came perfect.

The return journey too good. I wanted to see the bus route while going and coming back. Unfortunately it was heavy shower, as soon as I get into the bus, both times. So, I couldn't see anything outside.

Fate of a free park

5:52 AM 1 Comments
Quiet a long time was enjoying the free park outside my office. Recently Bandaraya installed parking coupon machines. I think, none of the regular customers are following that. But how, they are going to be find out, people are regularly paying the money? Their rates are reasonable, but that is not practical, when it comes to those working 12hrs or entire day sitting inside office.

Later I moved my night parking to our service center area, where they allowed free parking from 7:00pm till 8:15am. After 8:30am, they clamps and you have to pay RM 50 and can it be up to RM10, if you are good negotiator.

When hariraya season started, my schedule changed further more, so, I can't park at service center area too and the good place to extend my free enjoyment is our own parking area at basement. That is managing by Secure Parking team. Earlier, we had swipe card and with that, you can enjoy n number of free parking and going out during evening 7:30pm till morning 8:30am. Due to the money minded policy of Secure Parking, they have disabled the swipe card system and implemented the token system. In the token system, once you gone into the parking area, you cannot come back till morning 6:30am. If you want to take out your car before that, you have to pay flat RM5:00.

So, I was parking at service center and later midnight after my supper, park inside, so that I can be enjoyed the extended service. This hariraya day, I went to Brickfields for my supper at 1:00am. While going, entering the highway, I was slowly moving to right side and putting indicator and crossing the lane. Suddenly a black savvy came and overtaken and that was absolutely shocking to all of us, even though we did more care to drive. Everybody said, escaped, these fellows may have some else intension too. Similar incident happened at Jln Mahameru once, when I was coming back to Bangsar from Titiwangsa at night 11:30pm. After the supper, as usual, we get into the basement parking, but my usual place has stolen by somebody. So, I had to find another comfortable place. Firt parking, I felt, it is too close to the next car and gone forward and came backward and parked. Just about to get down the car, suddenly a noise heard and realized, rear windscreen is broken. But nobody sure, how it happened. Went behind and saw, something fall down on the rear door and apparently door bent and the glass cannot stick overthere and bursted. (see the pic).

Due to hari raya holidays, monday only possible to put into the service center and to made police report. So, the first time, my name is entered in Malaysian Traffic Police records. . Now need to wait for couple of weeks to get it replaced / repaired.
