Blog on the good, bad and fugly customer experiences in malaysia!
I am no big fan of MLTR but for Malaysia to ban them from performing is just ridiculous! is Malaysia fast becoming an ultra conservative Islamic country?

I stumbled upon this website by chance and it was a very good find indeed!
I tried the service on sunday, using their software uploader and i managed to upload around 130 images. The upload process was slow as my BB connection sux.
I had some trouble using my HSBC card for the online card payment though, so luckily i had another alliance visa card.
after my transaction, i was informed that the pics will take 3 working days to deliver. To my surprise, i already got the pictures delivered to my office today! 48hours turnaround time plus they use SKYNET to deliver. Pretty good and convenient! Highly recommended.
Check out their website (click la…)
By the way, they are also running some promotion on their site. so now is the time to develop pictures at a cheap price and win some freebies!!
Oh yeah, my only pet peeve about eoe website? each promotion banner you click will open up a new window. shit. i hate that!
No prizes for correctly guessing what is wrong with the latest panasonic ad.
Can you spot the difference(s)? i sure the hell can't!
here is my advise to panasonic marketing agency : if you are going to produce a comparison ad, make one where consumers like me can actually tell the difference!
Note: My apologies to THESTAR for using this image. without permission. yes. i did. I will remove this if you tell me to. maybe not.
What does this signboard says?
Recently i flew from HK to Penang on MAS. However, as sometimes airlines do coach share, i ended up on a cathay pacific plane instead. I am not sure if you are aware but travelling with hong kongers/hong kies is always a surprise to me. Especially when you are boarding a plane. USUALLY, most flight companies have a system of ushering people into the plane : 1) elderly, family with kids, people with special needs followed by 2) passengers seated at the back of the plane and lastly everyone else.
HOWEVER, when you travel with hong kies/Hong Kongers, they will just end up lining up, regardless!!so even if you are an old lady or family with kids, you still have to line up!i will upload a pic of this once i manage to find it!! !@##$%
My main topic of this post,is not about that. Its more about Cathay Pacific cabin attendants/cabin crews/air stewardess. Lately i find that most of the younger female cabin crews are not very polite or provide a friendly face in the sky for weary travellers like me. Most often than not, they are just there to serve you food and drinks. eye contact? forget it! smile to you when they talk to you ? forget it! When you are travelling after an exhausting business trip or holiday, all you want is a comfortable flight home and friendly service, dont you?
so i decided to write a comment on my flight to Cathay Pacific and i went to their website and guess what ? they dont have a email for customers to write to!! AMAZING!
I guess i have to write a letter and then fax it to them....perhaps i will just print this post and fax it to them....
In this day and age, cathay pacific actually has a pretty good website and even web check in and iphone app, but they have an email for customers like myself to send comment to? wow. I wonder why??
What about you? do you think an email response mechanism/process is just something so simple that a big company such as Cathay Pacific should have? drop me a comment.
“Good morning, ladies and gentleman, errrrrrrrrrrr…..we are facing a short delay over the skies of kuala lumpur……….er………..we will be ….er….. landing in about er………..20min times or so………”
Last sunday i took a flight on MAS from KL to HK. It was supposed to be a 9.15am flight and when i checked in, there was a flashing sign that says ” FLIGHT DELAYED”. As i entered the waiting lounge, i could see a few engineers working on the left engine. WOW! This is what you want to see when you are about to fly! so everyone waited for 1 hour and finally we were allowed to board.
Upon boarding, i realised that i was in an old A330 plane. No individual entertainment system on board!FUCK! Ok cool down. its only a 4 hour flight and i have my laptop with me. Plane started to taxi off the runway and we took off safely.
Then it started to get chilly, i asked the “air stewardess” for some pillows and a blanket. Guess what was her reply? “Sorry sir, we ran out of pillows and blanket”. FUCK. just great. plane delayed. no entertainment and i cant even get a warm and comfortable flight to HK.
I almost forgot about the whole incident until my colleague forwarded me this article below: (click to read)

What the fuck MAS? A box of chocs for the fuckin trouble in getting two flights delayed and no hotel until 2AM? This is just not how MH supposed to be!
I supposed if our advertising agencies in malaysia isnt bound by so many restrictions, perhaps we will see creative ads such as this…
yeah, what a farking long title!
anyways – ive been travelling a lot recently bcos of work and this brings to various countries and i get to experience how things work everywhere else. One interesting thing that i noticed early is our train service from city to the airport.
In Malaysia, you have to take the KLIA Express, which travels from KL sentral to the airport in 28min. It costs RM35 one way which is cheap, compared to HK (RM50 one way). If you have ever board KLIA express, you will noticed that the amount of space allocated for luggages is really limited to certain quarters only. If you are travelling with big luggages, you will face problem like the pic below
yeah, see that? you have lift up your 20kg luggages up to the "special compartment"
Compare this with HK’s Airport express :
See? easy peasy and there are at least another 3 spots like this for tourist like me to put my big bags!
The other nice touch about HK Airport express is the big LCD screen they put up and a destination indicator, so people know where they are and when they can drop off.
location/destination indicator...pretty cool
big lcd screen so you dun have to squint your eyes out
oh yeah, HK Airport express also have 1 to 2 QUIET cabins, where the LCD tvs and trains do not have any speakers playing music or anything else, which is a nice touch.
Posted: Monday , Jul 27, 2009 at 0216 hrs New Delhi:
Around 274 passengers bound for Singapore and Kuala Lumpur on a Malaysian Airlines flight had to wait at the Indira Gandhi International Airport on Saturday night as the flight was delayed by over 24 hours.
The flight, scheduled to take off at 11 pm on Saturday, could not take off initially due to a problem with the windscreen. After a delay of three-and-a-half hours, however, when the aircraft did take off, it had to return under emergency conditions due to a technical snag. The passengers had to wait at the airport till morning, after which they were shifted to nearby hotels.
The flight had not taken off till the filing of this report.
The pilot of the Delhi-Singapore-Kuala Lumpur MH 0191 flight noticed a problem with the windscreen after all passengers had boarded the aircraft on Saturday. The Air Traffic Control was then informed, airport sources said.
Deja vu? yeah….
