Amateur Radio on Majalah 3

did you manage to catch majalah 3 on saturday 19 feb 9 pm and its repeat broadcast on friday 25 feb 1.30 pm? it was great. the first segment featured amateur radio communication usage in recreational and emergency. it was a full 18-minute segment. and i appeared a few times. yeahhh....

i also got my palm t3 last friday. picked it up from abedib. yee haa.. having fun with it now. synch it with the star newspaper online edition. hmm... i wish the sun would do the same.

the haze over the weekend was horrendous, especially on saturday. could hardly see anything beyond 500 meters. good thing it rained on sunday morning and evening. cleared the sky good and put out the brush and peat fires.

it rained again heavily yesterday late afternoon. wasnt too long but somehow managed to drive the taxi drivers away. theres usually plenty of taxi in front of klang bus stand but yesterday, there was a queue and after 10 minutes, still no taxi. i decided to take the lrt instead.

some time last week i took a taxi from kl sentral to old klang road. discovered had to purchase a coupon to board a cab. just like at klia. and it costs more too. from kl sentral to old klang road near oug is rm10. usuall cost me rm5.50. rm7 if the traffic is really bad.

had a chat with the driver. out of the rm10 fare, kl sentral takes rm1. he gets rm9. to him, its fair price. the fare has not been revised for so many years. between then, the cost of fuel has gone up 30%. price of car also went up. cost of living also up.

i feel bad for that guy, and taxi drivers in general. but then again, i may not afford to get a taxi if the cost goes up unless its a business trip. we just have to wait and see. me dont know.
