Yesterday was full of U.S buses. Since earlier morning, ppl were talking about this bus. How come there was a method defined in the industry spec but no body verified it? Is the industry no longer need this bus? Or perhaps, these buses no longer needs the industry to support? How come those designers only validate the first cabin? U.S bus has so many cabins, can they validate the first cabin and justified that the rest of the cabins are working perfectly? How come the management keep on asking to validate all the cabins instead of the first? do the management know the validation? I doubt.....
Everywhere, anywhere, ppl talking about U.S bus. Since breakfast till lunch, ppl talking on buying cheap buses in the coming PC fair. Well, the buses now are really cheap compare to old days. Why? maybe ppl not doing validation enough gua...
Back to workshop, switch myself back to position, open out the US bus's engine. Felt shock when seen the engine was no difference compare with the previous model (later find out the model was the latest :p). Wondering around to look for the latest model in town, the ex-mechanic was disappear in the air. The mind even frustrated when continue to validate on the rest of the part. Time passed, emotional mind was overtook the high EQ. US buses really screwed up my day. Tired, no choice, while waiting for the ex-mechanic to confirm the model, I took out the engine, get a U.S.bus's driver to drive the engine back to my personal workshop.
When the driver arrived my place, i was so surprise that the driver did not fetch anything back to me. Everything screwed up. Well, no choice. I return to USbus's station to transfer the engine again...the scenario kept on repeating... copy-open-empty-recopy-reopen-reempty-recopy.... so many petrols wasted. During the way, my client - JOJO stopped me. His new buses, imported from Folsom - were dissappared. I checked with him see model that he imported, what a coincident, his buses are U.S buses as well. His PO system unable to detect the 2 USbuses that he ordered. I just wish him good luck and said byebye to him, without delay mine time.
Too tired on "copy-open-empty-recopy-reopen-reempty-recopy" process, I made a wise decision to take a rest and investigate the "missing" engine during the transaction. Idiotly, i found out that, the engine that i order to transfer from C: workshop was misplaced to D: workshop and the driver travelled along without anything so far.
Tired, reckless, emotional cannot help. Took a break, chitchat with Ladyboy and forwarding junk-mails helps lots to stable down my emotion and offcourse the heart-bits. Took up the screw driver, debug on the engine to see if able to start up the machine. I can felt the spark of the engine when i thighen up the screw. The U.S bus seems powered-up and ready to run!!!
Yooo...the bus really working. Cool man, as ppl always said - take rest is because you want to move further. If frustration overtook EQ, rest definely overtake frustration.
A moment later, ex-mechanic came back. She also quite shock about the urgent call. Well, sorry about that. Sent so many spam-mails seems like fooling myself. I felt so stupid when she looks angry. Seems like i fooling myself >_<.... After clarified with her, the model of U.S.buses are the latest and the greatest! Anyway, she really a good mechanic. If one day, i owned a bus company, i have to treat her a meal as the appreciate for her contribution to the industry.
The journey for this U.S. buses's mechanic is just the begining. Nobody will no how the industry will be. Hope the new generation U.S bus will have the full support from the top to bottom......Alhamdulillah.

First Blood
RedCrabby's first blood was drop (03/24/2008). It was happened during the working hours where his buddy - Botak - asking for blood donation in the office. He went along with Botak and Ladyboy (first time donor like crabby) to complete this holy job.
Well, blood donation really isn't that scary as expected. The activity was carry out by Penang Hospital. First you need to fill up the document, declare whatever hidden disease in your body and continue with sucking blood drops from the middle finger for analysis purpose.
After every checkout is done. RedCabby was direct to the donation area and lay down on the bed. You can select which hands you plan to do the niddle insertion, left or right doesn't matter.
Then the pretty nurse will insert a bigger size niddle into the opening of the nerve. That time onward, you can just close the eye and take a rest. Blood donation really as easy as abc. After the donation, there is a lucky draw session and some foods are provided.
Little drops of your blood might helps to save a life. RedCrabby's blood type is B+ oooo.... if he got any accident, please come to donate to him hoo!!
"This time he's fighting for your LIFE!!"
{Yummy @ Penang} Queensbay's Lan Kwai Fong
Lan Kwai Fong - Another place for those who stay in Bayan Baru area. The shop is located opposite Queensbay Mall. The first impression for me is the service very bad. No body come to entertain me when i walked in to this restaurant. The staff do no have proper uniform and their wears are not tidy. Waiting for few minutes, the menu came over.
Surprisingly they have a variety of choices, listed from rice-based to noodle-based meal. Its like the hong kong style restaurant.I order this beef noodle. I tell you, this really a "must-try". The beef is well cooked, mixed with a homemade source and overcooked carrot. When bite on the carrot, the juice will explode in the mouth, the feeling is really unforgetable.
The waiter recommend this "yu-chi lo fan" (sharkfin mixed rice) to my gf. This is a famous dish in the shop. This is what the Hongkies ate during the bull market came... :pThe drinks we order a honey-lemon ice and a hongkong ying-yong milk tea.
The price is reasonable - around rm12+ for food and rm3+ for drink
Next time will bring the buddies over to enjoy other foods..
