At Malaysia Chocolate Fair 2010
Jan 17th
Just imagine that the travelling time from Port. Klang to Bukit Raja took me more than 45 minutes? I used the Jalan Tengku Kelana road and always hate these people that like to park at the road side (look at the picture below). From 2 lanes become 1 lane road. Grow up ‘lah‘ people. There’s lots of parking behind the buildings ‘lar‘…
Sorry, a little emotional up there. Continue to the subject…
Reached there around 5 pm. We went straight to the Mid Valley Exhibition Centre at the top floor. The Malaysia Chocolate Fair 2010 is in hall 3. To me, it is quite a small fair. Smaller than what I expected.
Anyway, there is not much food sample that you can try as most of the exhibitor didn’t provide any tester. The cool thing that I saw was the printable chocolate. Yup… you can now print anything on a chocolate. Check out the photo gallery below.
I bought for my son a chocolate lolipop that has an “Upin & Ipin” print on top and it cost me RM10 (promotional price… normal price will be RM15). There’s actually 2 companies that have such service. The first booth that I visited only has this brown & white printed chocolate (from what I can see) and the other booth has this fully colored printed chocolate which I can see they doing the demo of the printing job.
The National Cancer Association was there too to support the exhibition as we chocolate lover knows that coco is an anti-cancer agent. From what that I know, the one that have this anti-cancer agent if you consume chocolate that have more than 40% dark chocolate. So, I’m not too sure about the normal chocolate being an anti-cancer agent. Nowadays, most of the chocolate are too sweet… I was looking for Cadbury but I couldn’t find their booth. Maybe they didn’t participate in the exhibition. Was hoping that I can buy some Cadbury chocolate. The brand that I’m used too that was there are Hersheys, Crispy and Tudor.
So, after all the walking… I bought some chocolate for my family. Cost me below RM30 as I’m on a tight budget. hahaha… They have these quiz thingy at the stage and manage to answer some question but didn’t dare to go to the stage (hahaha…). Anyway, one of the question is where is Nestle originated… the answer is Switzerland.
Went to other exhibition after that at another hall… that’s another story….
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.
Cadbury Warehouse Sale! (My Weekend)
May 20th
Just a short post about what I did during the weekends. Yeah, I didn’t go to the ITEX ’09 and Karnival Kerjaya & Keusahawanan Graduan 2009 for some reason.
Saturday.
On Saturday morning I sent my wife to Alam Sentral, Shah Alam because she got a bowling tournament and her group won 3rd place. Congratulations to her. Done some house work after that.
Fetch her in the afternoon and we (together with my son) went to Jaya Jusco, Bandar Baru Klang (Bukit Raja). It has been quite some time since the last time we went there. Just for window shopping.
Bought some fruit as we’re planning to visit my wife’s aunt at the Klang General Hospital (Tengku Ampuan Rahimah). She’s in quite bad condition. I don’t like to go to the hospital as I always will feel damn sad each time I see sick people. She got a lot of tubes attached to her body and there’s a machine that cleans her kidney if I’m not mistaken, running beside her. Felt so sad for her family.
Hope that she is in better condition now… and I hope that it won’t happen to my family.
Sunday
Went to “Car Boot Sale” at the car park of Stadium Shah Alam. My wife bought some of her stuff. The thing that I like about the “Car Boot Sale”, is that they have some great product that you can hardly find in the stores or hypermarket at a reasonable price. I like to go a booth that sells pet. Some of the pet is quite rare to find in it here. Last weekend they have this 2 small python. Nice…
After that we went to the Cadbury Warehouse Sale in Centro, Klang.
Cadbury Warehouse Sale.
Frankly, the warehouse sale this year is so-so compared to last year. There’s not many choices and the price is not as cheap as before. Even the size of the place is smaller compared to last year. Most of the chocolates expiry date is within this year. Anyway, Cadbury is still my number one chocolate. They should make this warehouse sale as a yearly event and they should have the chocolates for the overseas market like last year they have Zuppernut. That will be nice.
Anyway, bought some chocolates and went back home. Sleep nearly the whole afternoon.
P1 W1MAX reached Port. Klang!
Nov 24th
A few days ago I was driving to go to my parent’s house and realize that there is a billboard on P1 W1MAX. They have reach Klang district in couple of months since it was launched. For me, that is quite a breakthrough.
Even other wireless broadband service providers that have been long in the market didn’t give a wide coverage as P1 in very short period of time. They have advertise in the newspaper and it seems they have spread out to a few major town nationwide (Alor Star, Johor Bharu and even Klang. hahaha…).
I’ve never use the P1 W1MAX service before, but I have a friend that uses it. He stayed at Seri Petaling and it seems that the connection and service is very good there.
Unfortunately it still doesn’t covers my housing area yet. Looking forward to it in the future. I can’t wait for them to provide a portable modem so that people can use it on the go as well. That will be great.
You can check whether they have coverage at your area by clicking here.
P/S: Sorry for the blur picture as my wife took it for me while I’m driving.
