Bandung with 5-Star Malaysian Hospitality

MAS is promoting their latest or newest (or is it not) destination -Bandung, the shopping haven for those with weakness in shoppings & more shoppings.


All-inclusive one way fares from MYR 181. Book from 14 till 28 Jun 2010 • Travel from 16 Jul till 31 Dec 2010.


Have been giving myself plenty of excuses to go for holiday, so I sure cannot be left behind lah and was drooling already when I saw this promo..

So come June 14, I clicked on MAS webpage loh for departures in September..tralahahah..total fares (all inclusive) was RM311.00.

Being the 'kiasu' & 'see lai' person, I just had to compare this fare with the other carrier ...clicked for same departure & return dates. Wow, total RM328.00, and that does not include luggage, seat allotment, inflight refreshments.

It's truly an easy decision to make..

First Outstation Drive

Today, 13th June 2010 marked a new milestone.


Besides it being the first charity event with my BRP LDs, Jasmine had her first outstation drive in her daddy's car.


She drove us from home until Seremban, where daddy took over cos the whole BRP gang was already at Port Dickson toll. We started 10 minutes earlier from home & saw their cars overtaking us before Sg Besi Toll gates. New drivers are always so law abiding..well, in her case, she had no choice but to abide the speed limit as Law Officer aka Daddy was sitting next to her.


On the return journey, she drove home from Seremban Lake Garden, that's after making a pit-stop at Puchong to fetch grandmother and a dinner stop in Taman Megah. Overall, I would rate her driving as 7/10.

she definitely has improved from driving this !

Now we can hand-over the chaffeuring chore to her ...

AA and their Free Tickets

Here I am, sitting in front of the PC and trying to get free tickets from AA. Fat hopes lah..

I have logged in 1 min before 09 June and waited for the clock to strike 12, and I tried KL-Hangzhou sector for every day departures from Oct 11-Nov 14. 2010.

Apparently either some one is so much much faster than me or AA is not really giving any free seats.. Ok, I will give AA the benefits of doubt..

Changed destination to New Delhi (from where I can hop over to Agra to see the monument of Love - Taj Mahal).. That sector apparently has no free seats too on my randomly selected dates, which was like 5-6 days.

Nevermind, no China, no India, maybe let try the Land of Oz....enter Gold Coast..judging by the response, it not going to be good news....ok..i need to pay about RM 1,200 before tax, not including my luggage, and refreshments/meals on board, and I have also to pay for my seat..

I give up..better not to lost my lovely sleep over supposingly free stuffs.

NOTHING IS FREE IN THIS WORLD!!..now I believe that 150%

She is on Percubaan Licence

Yes, she did it..my doter passed her driving test today. She did not have so much confident that she will get it over in one sitting as she was not so lucky with the undang-undang test.

Well, that means we have to get an additional car for her to shuttle between college and home, which indirectly meant more $$$ output. And since new drivers are so so keen to drive everywhere, we will make sure we will not smother her enthusiasm :-).

Below are some dos&don'ts that P licence drivers have to adhere to:-

The "Defensive Driving" or "Panduan Berhemat" in reality is an Australian concept of driving. It has proven to be an effective method in curbing accidents, especially in its country of origin.

Amongst the many rules and regulations of defensive driving is the use of the "P" stickers. But Malaysian "P" drivers are actually a lucky lot compared to Australian ones.

Australian "P" drivers, amongst other things are not allowed to:

i) Drive alone - During the probation period (2 years). They must be an experienced driver beside them.

ii) Drive at night.

iii) Must undergo another practical test after 1 year to ascertain their capability to drive.

iv) The necessity to stick "P" stickers in front and at the rear remains.
"P" probation period is 2 years.

Newly "passed" drivers for Class B2 (Motorcycle) and D (Cars) have to have the "P" emblem displayed in front and at the rear of their vehicles.

Failure to do so might result in the authorities giving you a "Summon". Getting such a summon is getting 10 Demerit Points, resulting in your license being suspended.

What is the colour of the "P" Sticker, one may ask. Car "P" stickers are slightly larger compared to motorcycle "P" stickers, where are smaller. Use the correct sized stickers or you will end up in trouble with the authorities. "P" stickers have the alphabet "P" in White with a Red background.

What must "P" drivers do during the 2 years probationary period?

a) Maintain a 0.00 alcohol content in their blood / urine / breath.

b) Have their "P" license along while driving.

c) Ensure "P" plates / sticker are affixed in front and at the rear of their

vehicle.

What happens if your car has only 1 "P" sticker and you are unlucky to be stopped by the Police , J.P.J. or other authorities? Well, its still an Offense. Believe me. I know because a "P" student of mine got a summon for it. He failed to realize the rear "P" of his vehicle had dropped off. The maxim seem to be - "Ignorance Is No Excuse".

Use the "P" sticker till your probationary period is over (2 years). Then convert your "P" license into C.D.L. (Competent Drivers' License) within 1 year.
