朋友...ともだち...Friend

MORAL OF THE STORY

Friends may not always be able to pull you up

BUT

They will still think of ways not to let you fall

XD

Let's do Math!

Below is the actual chart that shows the various fare of a KLIA Transit ride. Answer question 1 and 2 accordingly:


Question 1:
Hanako-chan is going to KLIA to meet a friend. If she boards the train from Bandar Tasik Selatan, how much did she pay?


Okay. Got your answer?


Was it RM26.50?


Well, rest assured you would have passed any test paper in school. However, this is the real world we are talking about. Not school. If things are that simple we would have all stayed as kids and never grow up. Money my fellow friends are essential for all working adults.


Answer:
Hanako-chan paid RM11.50 to get to KLIA.


Solution:
Hanako boarded the train at Bandar Tasik Selatan, but only to Putrajaya/Cyberjaya for the price of RM5.30. She then exited and bought another ticket to Salak Tinggi which cost her RM3.00, waited for the next train, exited Salak Tinggi bought another ticket to KLIA which cost her RM3.20, went back in, waited all over again for the next train.

RM5.30 + RM3.00 + RM3.20 = RM11.50

Forget about the weird stares you'll get from the counter dude, watching you walk in and out. You my dear friends have save approximately RM15.00.



Question 2:
After a nice wonderful meet-up and a delicious dinner later, Hanako took the train home. How much did Hanako-chan spend that day on transportation?


Okay. I think this time you should probably get it right?


Answer:
RM38.00


Did you get it right this time?


Solution:
Now remember this is real life we're talking about here. I have even stated in the question that it's after dinner. Hanako-chan is a decent young lady who is as conscious of her safety as much as her money. Knowing that its late, going in and out as well as waiting for the next train one after another will take up the night, Hanako-chan took the direct train home from KLIA to Bandar Tasik Selatan which cost her RM26.50.

RM11.50 + RM26.50 = RM38.00

Now, my dear friends. I am not entirely sure if what we learnt in school actually applies in real life but Maths and logical thinking are ever the important to help you weigh not only money but the pros and cons of things.

End of lesson. =)

ヒヤシビープ第二の念際 おめでとう。

万歳! It's Hiyashibeeps 2nd anniversary! *claps*

This is Hiyashibeeps 90th post. It's a small amount to compare.

An average of one post per week. *blushes*

Wanted to aim for ONE HUNDRED posts but couldn't make it.

Anyway, get ready as Hiyashibeeps takes you down memory lane.

Here's when you should start playing some sentimental music before continuing. *snickers*

Hiyashibeeps is in fact not Hiyashi's first bloggie. In fact, blogging for Hiyashi was not something that happened only 2 years ago. It started back in high school. *nods* Almost five years back. Back then blogging was only known within the online community. "Blogosphere" was non-existant, neither was blogspot a hype.

I got into it because of my online friends, because of SLAM DUNK by Inoue Takehiko. To think a basketball manga was what got me tech-savvy back then compared to others. LOL. It was called Vinice's Realm and believed it or not, it is still alive in the world wide web. Hmmm... more like in a coma instead since it's barely functioning. Not gonna share the url with you guys now. Hahaha... you can try google it but I've tried just to make sure you don't get it that easily. =P

Back to Hiyashibeeps shall we.

Within 2 years, Hiyashibeeps have gone through numerous make-overs. From the first blogspot template -> customised templates -> personal templates -> free templates by others -> back to this current blogspot template again

Hiyashi's Beeping Hub version 1.0
Simple, plan and a typical blogspot template. Ah... and also the very first post. It was raining ice back then, remember?

Hiyashi's Beeping Hub version 2.0
Black with a personal touch. This and the current clean-cut layout are my favourites among all others. The only set back for this layout was it went bonkers with firefox. My sucky html skills gave me the limited privileged of editing it according to what I see in I.E. only. And for a memorable post, I shall introduce you something you have always known but probably just don't realised... "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten"



Hiyashi's Beeping Hub version 3.0
aka Gong Xi Fa Cai version.
Most make-overs happened this year. Mainly cause I never found one layout I like as much as version 2.0. This seasonal layout obviously last for less a month and therefore the highlight during this short period was when my favourite celebrity cook made my day.

Hiyashi's Beeping Hub version 4.0
aka Isnaini wonderful free template.
Short, sweet and simply silly. It has to be this.

Hiyashi's Beeping Hub version 5.0
aka the emergency layout!
This probably lasted as long as Gong Xi Fa Cai's version. Version 4.0 went into E.R. when the hosted picture fell ill and showed a little plaster with a cross instead. It's a relief though when you have such nice post to brighten up simple website. ^_^

And that my dear friends are bits and pieces that made the Hiyashibeeps you see today. My little achievement in life that I can proudly share with others.

Thank you for making blogging so wonderful! *bows*

Quote of the Day

Why do americans when they wanna eat chinese food they say.. who's up for chinese? like they're gonna eat us. -Cubbie -

Hmm... why?

The day I met "The King" pt03

Uwah. I'm too lazy to update but I figure I might as well get it done. *sigh* Three weeks to update a 3-day event. Imagine that!

So... I woke up early on Monday morning, so early it's almost like I'm waking up for work. -.-;;
Godmom gave me a ride to the LRT station on her way to work. Reached the station at 8.15am and got caught with the morning crowd. That's when I actually woke up, woke up!

The sight was just amazing.

*bows to the civilised people of Kuala Lumpur*

I might have been away for way too long for I don't remember seeing such a sight during my wonderful four years of university life there. Or maybe I have been at the other side of town. *shrugs* But it's time like this I feel so damn proud. *tears of joy*

And so I sat there for the whole 30 minutes staring at this amazing sight. One by one they boarded. If the train's full they just wait for the next one. NO CHAOS! Eventually they all boarded and the station was left empty. A new crowd shuffles in and they knew perfectly where the line is. すごい! I swear there's no indicator to tell them where to line-up or maybe I'm just not a regular. ^^;;

Now you might think I'm not exactly normal, sitting there for half an hour staring like that but hey! I'm nice and considerate too just like this people here. My laggage takes up a person's standing space.

One Hiyashi with Laggage = Two ai ki zo kang eh KL lang

So I just sat there and deserving people get their rides before me. 8.45am and the train that came was considerably emptier. Thus, I boarded and continue my journey home. Arrived at Puduraya at 9.15am and bought my bus ticket home.

3 Days 3 Nights. Kuala Lumpur. Wonderful.

Then again, there was the pile of work that awaited me the next day. I guess it's true when they say there's a price for everything. *smiles sheepishly*

The End
"The day I met "The King" Trilogy

.

The day I met "The King" pt02

And then it was Sunday 22 July 2007!

I bid farewell to Cubbie's lair and a grumpy brother cub that I never get to meet after all. Reach IOI Mall way before any shops were opened. ^^;; Wanted to have a Hong Kong-ish breakfast at Wong Kok but alas it was not open yet and so we waited... and waited. Finally there were signs of movement in the restaurant. Off we go if we can get to be the super early birds and enjoy our food.

"Sorry. We're not open yet."

Well, I'm sorry too cause you just lost a customer, two customers to be exact! Because by then the mall was opened and so we head in and enjoy yummy spaghetti instead. LOL. There goes our hong kong-ish breakfast.

Loveable godparents arrived around noon and I thanked Cubbie for being such a kind host. The trip down and the sleepovers let me see another side of Cubbie which I never thought she was.

Kind and caring!

HAHAHA... *runs away*

But she was. When we were all sleeping soundly after a late movie night, she woke up silently by herself at 7.30am in the morning, went out and bought delicious nasi lemak for us ignorant guests who make fun of a sleeping cub when we woke up an hour later. So touching! T__T

But then she did tell me not to come again so soon cause being a host is tiring and she won't be so eagered if she sees me that often.

Dot dot dot.

I guess its very true when they say distance makes the heart grows fonder. *snickers* so... point taken!

--------------------

Afternoon was catching up time with my godmom. A beautiful lady that everyone praises.

Cubbie whispered "Your aunt is hot!"

By the way, she thanked you for the compliment! XD

She was the one who taught me to dress up and be pretty because I'm a girl... a woman now. ^^;; Not that my mom doesn't do that. *grins* But mom is a more conservative loveable housewife who doesn't go for worn-out jeans with patches and paints as designs but she is loved by the way she is.

--------------------

And the time came when I need to get ready for the night with the King. I got dress pretty and would really like to share a picture but as much as I'm tempted to, I can't because it's still a no-no for me to put pictures of me on the net. LOL. Now, up to this point you probably think I'm too full of myself with the over-use of the word "pretty" in one entry but I call it confidence.

HAHAHA...

Sometimes I beh tahan with myself also. Sorry!

Sooooo.... thought wanna take lots of photos to share but the whole atmosphere is so prim and proper, it's awkward to take out a camera and start shooting. I'm actually wary if it's allowed as well.

So.... all I managed was this.

See! See! I wonder who sits up there. Royalty perhaps or very rich people! Hahaha... but the truth is I don't think those umm... what do you call those. argh... gotta google for that *after awhile of googling* Balconies? well anyway, I don't think the view from there is all that great. You just amuse yourself with your own privacy and being above the rest. *rolls eyes*

Was it good? It was good but it was a bit slow too. Among all the plays I've watched *okay not exactly many* but this probably the least exciting one. But that does not mean it's not good, it was! It's different from all the recent musicals where the stories are supported by lots of action and dancing, etc. To quote Mr Cool *yup, he made an appearance even in an entry that goes down to KL*

"Why you watch a play that is not your era? It's an old old story already."

HAHAHA... wise man's words should not go unheard.

But I really grab at every chance I get to enjoy such rare entertainment. The King was funny and I love him more than Anna, naturally. LOL. I'll end this entry with two more pictures.

My ticket to meet "The King" is kinda blur. @_@

And to end the show...

End of part two but not the end of the trip.

Stay tune for part three!

The day I met "The King" pt01

.

Two weekends ago (27 - 30 July 2007) I made my first trip to Kuala Lumpur since last year's convocation. The feeling was soooo strange. After a hurried lunch, my parents drop me at the bus "shop". ^^;;

Dad: It's like we're sending you back to MMU.
Me: I look like I'm going back to MMU.

And when I got on the bus and waved goodbye, I felt so sad. Not because of the departure. Come on, it's just a weekend. But I suddenly miss that feeling of coming back home after weeks and months away and then catching the bus back again to Uni. I couldn't believed how sentimental I got on the bus. *blushes*

But all that was just the beginning of a wonderful weekend...

Sleep over!
Hahaha... so cute! Never had we ever held a sleep over when we were students together in Uni but alas now, as working adults! *grins*
A peaceful night with glasses of red wine, packets of nachos and cheezels and of course a good "Chocolat" movie.
Thus, it was no surprise when we went out and bought bars and bars of chocolate the very next day. ^^;;

Sushi with friends is sooooo missed!
A movie was of course necessary.
Harry Potter does the trick in more ways than one.
And it was good food all the way. Yummy!

Then came Sunday.

The day I met "The King"......
