This is not an attempt to disgrace Kuantan.yah..its in kuantan people.the capital of pahang they said.
i dare to say that i've been in kuantan long enough to see how this small town grow,well so far.oh yah,fyi the nickname of this town is 'Bandar Palma'.but i still fail to locate the natural palm trees around here,other than the fake ones the municipal council have been planting since about 5 years back before they came up with that ironic nickname.sorry kuantan..indeed i've betrayed you.and i'm doing it.
Kuantan is really not a down right 'pit-of-boredom'.really.majority of my friends are still enjoying how things goes here.a peaceful town is how i describe it.yah.so peaceful that you can rarely see public buses commuting people.once every couple of hour maybe?sadly as it already is,not to blame the municipal council,but,for having to spend half of my life here in this beloved town,i still fail to see any improvement in terms of the public transport here.it is still the old box-looking bus which might fall every parts of it along the driveway.
there are only two companies who ran the business; bee huat and sihat.yah,the word 'sihat' or 'healthy' in translation,is written on its body chasis.and you know what?i fell sick after taking that bus from school back in 2001,and that was the first and the last time i ever took a bus around town.and now,as the end of 2008 is nearing,i see that friggin bus wandering around town .though rarely,but i can sense it's existence.come on man,throw some money for new buses you people.how can you expect the business to bloom if you dare not to invest?
taxi is another thing.i know its not the hottest issue in harakah or metro,but heck,i thought the government have resolved thing matter.and today i learnt that they did next to nothing.i just arrived from kl today,and as i happen to be exausted ,i thought of hiring a cab way back home.upon arriving and as i walk myself out from the bus,several uncles approached me and asked me if i want to hire a cab.having them suspected as 'ulat',i just gave them a smile and walk away.as if i know what i'm doing.so there and then i went to a booth outside the terminal and ask them how much would they charge me if i were to hire one cab to bukit sekilau.without hestitating, "RM10".i looked at him in disbelieve and give him the 'no' sign and off i go.
its not even 1km for God sake!rm10 for that?!come one pak cik.nak manja kan diri sikit pun ade je yang menyakitkan hati.God..do something mayor!i'll be eligble to vote next year.you don't want to be sorry.
iknowthisiskiddish.oh,well.roar!
p/s:mayor,if you happen to read this and intending to track me down,just leave me a comment.goodday.
I'm baaack!

it's horrible ya know.
i was on my way back to uia.
too tired so i decided to go back uia asap.i was charged rm15 from the terminal to uia. mygod! i remember the last time when i was back in mtric,it is around rm6 from mtric to midvalley and obviously it was much2 more comfortable.they really need to do something about it.
p/s:i link urs, can i? it's exciting to have another uia-mates in my list. :))
Hehe, marah sakan nampak? :D Aku pun marah! Siut a kuantan, dah masuk paper dah pasal transport, Sia-sia je kena kutok. Haha.
Izzah,
Haha..I bet every uia students have this disappointing moment when we need the transport so badly and unfortunately,shit happens.haha.know what?get our own ride,that'll be better.haha
P/s:yah izzah,am honoured if you do so.will follow your blog:)
Hariry,
Haha..tu la pasal.bengong la ktn ni.Aku nak msg ko nak mintak tlg amik semalam.lupe plak ko kat kl lg.haha.
Oh yeah, I had that disappointing moment. Nasib baik pakcik tu baik gile.
ECM->UIA RM25.
Sorry cap, but I have to say this. WT*!
Akmal,
Haha..omg..that's frickin' fraud.I pity you man.
go get a bike or something.I don't think the
Petrol will cause that much..
Lah.. boleh pun keluar comment box ni. hehe..
RM10 xsampai 1km? That's something. I took a cab from Butterworth to my place, Nibong Tebal, it costs me RM60. Even more expensive than a ticket bus from Johor to Butterworth. Ish2.. Public transportation in Malaysia is helpless!
blue dude,
haha.man..mahal nak mampus taxi..rm60 is enough to buy you a nice dinner at TGI.dang..true as you said,its helpless here.helpless!
charlie, as someone who were born in kuantan, live in kuantan the most and still am, i can't agree more to what you've said. and for that, i am sorry. i know it's not the perfect place, but i just don't know why, i love the city. perhaps, ill send a letter regarding this matter to the municipal council as a concern citizen. u reckon they'll take actions? i sure hope so. may the incident won't tarnish your good views of the city.
ince,
don't worry man,kuantan is still a lovable city to me.i've had great times and made good friends with people around here.its just the public amenities that are supposed to be resolve that are still lacking.i hope it'll as how we wished.

er..skang ni uia menkem rama yg ade keta(yg besar2 plok tuh)..
siot jer kalu banding kita org dulu
wajihah,
haha.do you mean the bus?

tu la pasal..nak kuar dari uia bukan main sakit.haha.time korang dulu macam mane plak?
bas metro,bas interakota dan skang metro and rapid..bleh dikatan 70 persen consistency,kalu jadual 6.30am for example,6.25 shud be present at the bus stop.kalu miss the bus another 30 mnt even 45..
