Ekspo Mega

Ekspo Mega – Beli Barangan Buatan Malaysia
Our Malaysia economy is still stable for the time being although it is not as bad as the other countries, but you can see that there is a lot of company firing their employee and more and more people that are suffering from the economy downturn. Anyway, one of the way that we can help our own country and ourself is to buy Malaysian product.
Starting from the 24th until 28th of June 2009, Ekspo Mega is an exhibition that introduce Malaysian product to the Malaysian public. Most of us Malaysian does not aware that Malaysia have a lot of product that can be use, consume or wear even services.
Below are the detail on Ekspo Mega:
Date: 24th June 09 until 28th June 09
Venue: Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre
Time: 10 am until 9 pm.
You can stand a chance to win tickets to selected holiday destinations, electrical appliances, home deco and much more. I think it will be nearly the same as Gerak Usahawan Nasional where you can get the products for a cheaper price.
A few of the famous Malaysian products/ services will be AirAsia, Malaysia Airlines, Celcom, Maxis, Secret Recipe Proton and Modenas. Lets learn more and support our Malaysian product to boost our economy.
Wasabi… A No Ink Printer?
Jun 20th
Yeah, you heard it right. Wasabi is a printer and it doesn’t use any ink. The printer is from Dell and the “full name” for the printer is Dell WASABI PZ310 Mobile Printer.
Dell WASABI PZ310 Mobile Printer
First time I read about it I can’t believe that they have such technology. I thought it might be something like the fax machine, but it not. Wasabi print in full colour. You only need a special type of paper to print by ZINK. The printing paper size is 2 x 3 inch and the size of Wasabi is slightly bigger than a PDA. That makes it a very portable printer and still it have a storage for the paper as well. Isn’t that cool.
The paper is not that expensive, it cost roughly around RM56 for 48 sheets. To me, we can save a lot as we don’t need to use any ink for the printing and it is much better to the environment in a way. The ZINK paper is actually a sticker too. So can print pictures and stick it anywhere if you want to.
You can print directly from your camera using the USB port as it comes with a PictBridge support and you can also send your photos directly from your mobile phone and even notebook to print using it Bluetooth connection too. It only have a power button and “reprint” button make it a very simple printer.
Forgot to mentioned that the price of the printer is RM529 and as other Dell product, you can purchase it online from Dell website.
The Klang Bus Station! Klang Sentral! What Happened?
Jun 13th
Recently I went back a little bit late from Kuala Lumpur and there is no bus directly back to Port Klang. So I have to take a bus to Klang first and from there I’m supposed to take a bus back to Port Klang. It was 9 pm from Kuala Lumpur and I reached Klang around 9.45 pm. There are no Port Klang bus sighted. Actually this is not the first time it happened to me and now I’m really sick of this situation and I think I need to blog about it this time.
So, the only bus there was the buses to Banting and there are a lot of taxi around and some people that act like a taxi. This happened because they know that there won’t be any bus around at that time and they’re taking advantage of that situation. I’m not blaming them because they are trying to make a living and they do help you (in a way) rather than you don’t have any transport back home, right?
The problem is, what happened to all the Port Klang buses that was there before all this Klang Sentral issues happened? Since the time that they try to change the main bus station to Klang Sentral, all the buses seems missing. Last time it use to have, sometimes 2 Port Klang buses at one time and normally the last bus will be around 10.30 pm up until 11 pm. Now, even when I reached there around 9.45 pm, there’s no bus around.
I have friend that took bus from Klang Sentral to Kuala Lumpur and he told me that there is no bus going to Port Klang from Klang Sentral and that makes me even more confused. Where should I get a Port Klang bus? The answer is the old Klang bus station but the bus will be there until 9.30 pm, maybe? What happened to the people that just got back from work around Klang town itself? The Mydin workers, the Shaw Centerpoint?
I just hope that the authoritize or the government take some action on this matter. I’m supporting the changes of the new Klang Sentral station at Jalan Meru although it will be troublesome for me but I understand that we need to have some development that might benefit the future of Klang residences, but not until this kind of thing happened.
Most of the time I will have to call someone from my parent’s house if my wife is working to fetch me in Klang. Once I have to take a taxi and it cost me RM15, luckily I shared the cost with someone I always take the bus to Port Klang with. Just imagine that I have to pay RM7.50 for a RM1 journey.
Hope that the local authority or the government can resolve this matter as soon as possible.
P/S: It is confirmed that the last bus to Port. Klang from Klang for CityLiner is around 9.15 pm as the CityLiner “supervisor” or whatever that they are called told me that they only have bus to Port. Klang until 9.15 pm the most.
