Conservative

When we talk about "Conservative" and definitely i check from dictionary and the meaning

is disposed to preserve existing conditions, institutions, etc., or to restore traditional ones, and to limit change.

Funny thing is...masa kat UK, i saw this

Macam mana nak change kalau dah the name of the party is Conservative. Contradict kan...... but thats what really happen. Interesting.

Cheers

Masjid Negara......

I guess almost every week i pass through the Masjid Negara but then the last time i went there for prayer or visit is more then 15 years. Its a old design but unique concept. Different from others.

I do notice, when people come to kl, the just talk about how good shopping complex is, where the good food can be found but its really rare to find people say about the masjid all around KL. hummmmm maciam mana nie guys...... ; p

Yesterday, after send my SO to Klsentral, I just stop by over there for Asar prayer. Still the same and always make me feels very peaceful. Religiously yes and for my soul also does make me peace. Alhamdulillah.

Abbey Road Zebra Cross

One of the rainy days in London, me and my fren take opportunity have a visit at Abbey Road Zebra Cross. Known from Abbey Road album of the Beatles, we took picture like nobody business.

Sometimes, when we at other peoples place, we tend to do something that normally we dont do that....... like take pic of signage.... take pic in a shop, bla bla bla........ so me and my fren did the same thing..hehehehehe

Nice place and cooling place actually. After that we went to Little Venice which is just nearby there and straight to Campden. The only place that does not interest me but then we stop by at Cuban restaurant and we had a good Tapas. I should say still special place to be, i mean the Cuban restaurant only. Not Campden Market.

There's more...... hehehehehe

London Tube



When i reach Heathrow, We took London Tube from Airport to Kensington. At first kind of ok with the train from the airport. Just a train i said in my mind......Just still amaze with the scenery in London only. Once we reach at Gloucester Station, i start to amaze with the train station cause it look so old and authentic.

Then, next day, we took train. I start to amaze with the complexity, fast efficient and punctuality. I just amaze and cant describe it how it was........We don't have to rent car to go there.... Tube is just enough. In fact more then enough. Really convenient.

Like it soo much......

More to tell bout London..... Cheers

World First Underground

Got this article from London Transport Museum and am still amaze with it cause they actually start this since 1860. Have a look an article bout it.

Main line railways made it easier to get to London, but also contributed to the growing congestion on the streets.

In 1860 work began on the first attempt to solve the problem: an underground railway. The Metropolitan Railway was designed to link three of London's main line termini with the City. The track was laid mostly in a shallow cutting excavated along the street, which was then roofed over. This method was known as cut-and-cover construction.

The first section of the Metropolitan opened from Paddington to Farringdon on 10 January 1863. A second underground line, the District, began operating five years later. The two were eventually linked to create the Circle line in 1884.

The early underground was a huge engineering achievement and very well used, but had one big disadvantage. Its steam locomotives created a permanent sulphurous fug in the stations and tunnels. The only surviving steam engine from the 1860s, Metropolitan number 23, is on display in the Museum.

Cool rite... wait till you went to their museum.

Cheers mate

What a name .......

Yeap......what a name.......

I guess you did know about some of the area has a unique name...... Batang berjuntai, Janda Baik, Pendek, Bukit Katil, Menggatal and many more and for most of us is funny....... same goes here where I went to Sarawak from 31st Oct till 2nd Nov for promotion of my work and we went several places for Hit and Run event. One of the place called "Tatau"......

This place is one of a rural area in Sarawak. Nice place and very calm place. Not much people over there and in fact the population of the foreign worker is more than the local i believe. At first i dont actually know the name of the place.... then they keep on saying tatau several times....... i was like what the hell happen, sikit-sikit tatau, sikit-sikit tatu then aper yang they tau.........

I asked them, "ape yang tau and ape yang tatau.....? "

They laugh like hell when they heard what i ask. Then they explain that tatau is a name of a place. so i got a silly joke about that........

Foreign people came to Tatau and want to know the name of tatau....

Foreign people : Hello, you orang sini ka.....
Local : Ya, wa orang sini.
Foreign people : Apa nama tempat nie?
Local : Tatau
Foreign people : aiya, you cakap you org sini, tapi you tak tau plak nama tempat ni.
Local : Ya la, wa orang sini, ini tempat tatau mah.....
Foreign people : Pelik betul la you, cakap you orang sini, tapi tak tau nama tempat nie.....
Local : Halo blader, ini tempat nama Tatau, bukan wa tak tau.
( while show the signboard on the street)
Foreign people : Ooooooooo ( shy face turn up)
