Noticed that Maswings are doing promo lately. I’m talking about Maswings, subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines which take cares of Sabah and Sarawak’s inbound flight.

First they’ve monopolized the market, control all the ticket prices which is way more expensive. It may be expensive than going  oversea compare to some other airlines.

Take a very short examples for Miri to Sibu which I fly most. They used to come out something like Maswings Prepaid, which for me back then the fare is still acceptable although it is still quite expensive which is RM90 for one way. But okay, at least its less than RM200 which still not equivalent to air ticket to KL by using Air Asia. But then, they’ve stop it, and implement something new.

For now, the ticket price normally starts from RM138 onwards exclude of Taxes. For a return flight, the minimum I’ve to spend would start from RM280. If I book within a week, the ticket price would hike up to RM300 ++. Is that really reasonable for such a short distance and just flying in the ATR72?

Okay, that’s enough, I can’t say much, they’ve invest on the new ATR fleet. Since they monopolized the whole market, we, the people in Sabah and Sarawak need to pay more to fly! Fly nearer but pay more. This is totally unacceptable.

Can’t you come out something like budget airlines? Or give us more promotions?

Yes, they did actually, but its just another gimmick from them.

I saw this on Maswing’s facebook page. I’m really happy to see that Miri – Sibu are having offers for as low as RM12 one way. That’s really help me to save a lot of money and time. The truth is, the promotions are totally invalid. I’ve been clicking the whole schedule from 01Jan2010 till 30thJune2010. I didn’t see any! All started with RM138.

Okay, assumed that the above promo are not ready, or they published wrongly which I totally can’t get it from their webs. That’s fine! ….

Dear Maswings,

Can you tell me what actually happened to your Malaysia Airlines’s System?? Ada problem kah? If you are unable to give good promo, then don’t give!

Your booking systems are not as good as other airlines. MAS ground staffs are mostly not helpful. Unless you know any of them, maybe its easier. The customer careline are always busy. If you have anything urgent, you just don’t hope they could assist you, I think you might have already drive to Airport and get everything settled.

I’m very disappointed with Maswings. I really hope they could have much more improvement over their marketing skills. Not to give empty hopes only. Please reduce your fare. Those in rural areas are those who need to fly more frequent. We in Sabah and Sarawak don’t have big highways that connect us to everywhere. If we have more and better options, I will not take flights. The truth is, that’s the most convenient way.

If you really want to serve the mass market, then you should be able to make everyone can fly with not much hassle.

So please!

Please be more considerate and love us, your customers more. I’ve been flying with you for ages even before you turn into Maswings.  Don’t you have any better deals for us?

Please make sure, your pilots won’t be as the picture below. Even if Free tickets it shouldn’t be in this way!

Thank you so much!

Your’s sincerely,

Has been idle for quite sometime, its really my bad. Lot’s of friend came and asked , “Hey you stop blogging kah?” , I feel ashamed to answer that I was too busy lately. That was not really an excuse, but just nothing much that I could bring up to blog again these days.

Both of my digital camera was sent to the hospital, one declared death and one is still under investigation. Anything related to life stories hardly to bring up here without a good picture.

Anyway, the one and only big news to share now is , The knot is tied. =)

Thanks for all the blessings and wishes from family and friends. I love you all ! Muaks!

I used to be a daily blogger, little bits of things must blog, no matter big or small. I thought that was my responsibilities as a blogger to blog whatever I like. Well Said, but due to my long working hours, I do feel that blogging actually spends me quite a lot of time. I need to have “ideas”, I need to have “pictures” in order for me to blog. The most important thing is, Do you still read blog nowadays?

I gotta admit, I rarely read blog ever since I’ve addicted to Facebook. Anyway, FB is a very successful lifetime interacting tools, which is fun enough to update, or to “kaypoh”. But don’t ever take things too seriously over FB cos you’ll never know who is reading or stalking you behind the screen.

No, I don’t like Twitters. So not to have further comments on it.

Goolooloo.com was once a most popular blogs of Miri Community but not in Malaysia. Seeing the other bloggers being nominates, I could only say their hard works paid off. This could never happen on lazy bloggers like me. Anyhow, my blog will remain. I’ll still update on my travelogue as usual but have to cut down all my travel plans due to my tight budget plans.

My next travel destinations will be on Sandakan. =) Domestic travel would be fun cos you don’t have to worry about the currencies difference or the language problem. Let’s have some fun with the “Orang Utan”!

I’ll be back!

I killed my cat, it was an accident, I ran over the cat by my car. It was a misfortune, but I do hope the cat would rest in peace.

The incident goes like this, it was before I went to work this morning. I reversed the car, and stopped a while before I accelerate ahead. Poor thing happened, when I drive forward I felt something bumpy at the bottom. I look right, I saw the a whity fur flying. I knew bad thing happened.

My cat, which is still consider a kitten, who just arrive our home for 2 months. She’s a lovely cat, but likes to play hide and seek. My mom had warned me that the cat would hide under the car, just that I did not expect it happened on my car.

I saw it bleed. I saw it struggle for the last breathe staring at me with her eyes open. Nothing much I can do for the lost of the cat but only Sorry. It happened.

Hope that she’ll be luckier next time.
May her rest in peace.

This would be a tribute for me to remember her always.

Finally Raya Holiday has ended, I wish to extend but its time back to work. So just a brief update.

The traffic officers are busy at work while we are busy rushing ways back to work. Please be more alert, and don’t play twitter or anything on your phone while driving.

Ops Sikap XX is not just to earn summon from traffic offenders but to warn everyone to drive safe.

At least Menara Pemerhati Polis has been fully utilized.;)

Thank God that Bongkersz and I reached Miri safely.

Hari Raya might falls on the 21st Sept, but Bongkersz and I had an earlier Balik Kampung Trip today. It has been a month since I last met my dear, so Sibu here I come!

We start the journey at 6am, which was too early for me but still I made it. After an hour of journey we stopped by at Batu Niah to refuel the RON95 and release some fluid from our body.

And we made a conclusion, from Miri to Batu Niah need to spend RM15’s petrol.

The weather change dramatically all the way up to Sibu.

It is suddenly full of Fogs..

*Welcome to Cameron Highland*

Followed by the Big Rains that blurred all your vision..

But don’t worry, I have a steady driver.

Sambil Driving, Sambil Makan Lee Fah Mee!!!

The Journey took 5 hours, and we directly meet up Alex at Mitsu Tea House.

My dear dear waiting for our arrival

Bongkersz better get some recharge before he head back to Sarikei.

Let’s have some tea

And Some Dim Sum.

Eh, before I forget, Will Chua was there too! And he is going to celebrate Hari Raya at Kuching this year.

So how’s your Raya holiday? Have you plan anything yet? I’m planning to go Karaoke tomorrow! Yay!!!

Anyway, kepada semua muslimin dan musliman, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

Oops again, I almost forget that I have a blog!!!

That was written on my Facebook’s status. I realize I’m once again neglected my blog hence I would grab this chance to blog about our Company’s Annual Dinner. Its a retreat for all the staffs who have work for us.

It was held on 18th August 2009, at Miri Eastwood Valley Golf & Country Club. For those who are not familiar with Miri, Eastwood is actually one of the biggest golf field in Miri while it also consist of Chalet and Ballroom which allow you to hold activities.

This is the whole bunch of us, roughly around 50 person. The event was very successful.

Alex were there to attend the dinner too. 

The function was held at Jelutong Hall. We are given our own private room in order for us to play around.

Everyone enjoy the night! Include this fat guy who was kissed all over by another male.. Poor Leslie!

The dinner ended at 11pm. Party was not over yet, we hopped over to Victoria Cocktail, Bar & KTV.Victoria is also part of Eastwood. This is my first ever visit as it has been talk by everyone about how good and how great is the sound system at Victoria.

This is the main entrance, a series of  Zodiac on the wall.
The overall looks grand, lots of people has been commenting its quite enjoyable environment.

There are some private room for Karaoke, or you would prefer public bar and join the crowd at the dancing pool.

”
This is the stage. DJ is controlling music up there.

This time is my brother’s treat. Everyone gets wild and drunk!
Which include of my brother became the Dj of Victoria!!

Everyone enjoy the night, drunk, happy but don’t worry, everything is still under control.

Watch out for their upcoming events at Victoria, I heard that there will be Merdeka Party over there too!
