Luna Maya is Hot in Malaysia

Posted on the June 9th, 2010 under Google by papabear Edit

Checking Google on what Malaysians searched the most for the past 7 days brought up Luna Maya to the top. A name that was unfamiliar to me although I have been to Indonesia quite regularly. Obviously I was not into these celebrity stuffs… I am sure by now many Malaysians already know that Luna Maya is an Indonesian artist that suddenly shot to fame due to her alleged hot s-e-x video with Ariel Peterpan. I know some songs from the group Peterpan but I have never paid attention to Ariel…

No wonder I have seen lots of local bloggers posted about Luna Maya and some of them even embedded the mentioned videos. I have not seen any of the videos myself since the first thing that came to mind was that I do not think that the videos are genuine. Somebody someways or somehow must have put some videos together just to do something bad to these people or to make some profits out of such hot stuffs… Do you happen to know anyone laughing to the bank already?

Maybe some of my Indonesian readers can tell us whether they are really in those videos or not.

Anyway, Malaysians have been busy searching for Video Luna Maya on Google and she managed to to put the Gaza and Israel stories behind her. Surprisingly, FIFA world cup in South Africa did not even made the list for the past 7 days. Now we know what Malaysians are more interested in ha!

Naughty Malaysians!

Anyway, to follow the trend, you can download the said videos at the end of this entry!

Fat chance! You are not getting any of that stuff here.

Go and search somewhere else… Shooooh!

20% Toll Rebate from Touch ‘n Go

Posted on the June 9th, 2010 under Out and About by papabear

The 20% toll rebate has been available for quite sometimes now but many people still asked me about how to get it. So, this little tutorial will light the way…

The Card

Firstly you need a Touch ‘n Go card. Any card with that Touch ‘n Go logo will do. Above is my card that has seen better days but it still works perfectly. If you do not have the card, go and buy one. The easiest place to buy is at the Toll Offices that have the Touch ‘n Go logo on their signboard.

Once you have the card, you can start using it to get the rebate. There is no application required. Just use it!

The Calculation

To qualify for the rebate, you must use your card 80 times or more in a month. This means 80 toll payments is the minimum transaction that you must have in a particular month. Only toll payments are counted. Payments for parking, Burger King’s meal, and others will not be counted. The amount of toll that you paid does not matter. Only transaction numbers matter.

Example: In the morning, I travel from Shah Alam to KL City Center via NKVE and DUKE. I have to pay RM3.30 at the Jalan Duta Toll and another RM2.oo at DUKE. This gives me 2 transactions.

In the evening, I travel from KL City Center to Shah Alam via MRR2, KESAS and ELITE. I have to pay RM2.20 twice at KESAS and RM0.50 at Batu Tiga Toll. This gives me another 3 transactions.

So now I have 5 transactions a day. If I keep doing that for 20 days, I will have 100 transactions and that qualifies me for the 20% rebate. You can use it at any toll regardless of the operator.

80 transactions a month means starting from the first day to the last day of the month. In February, number of days are less and therefore, you must ensure that you have enough transactions for that month. If you only made 79 transactions for the month, you do not qualify. It must be 80 or more. You can always try again the next month.

How to Claim?

You can go to Touch ‘n Go office or just drop by any of the Toll office that have the Touch ‘n Go logo on its signboard. Make sure you bring your Touch ‘n Go card along! No card no rebate. Present the card to the counter. You just need to say, “Rebate”. Smiling is optional but highly recommended… They will check your transactions and the rebate amount will be credited into your card. Similar to when you top up your card.

You will the receive your card back and a receipt like the one above. That is my 20% rebate for my toll transactions in May 2010. If you used the highways a lot then you would see a substantial figure for your rebate. You can continue using your card with the rebate as additional credits.

How to Check?

There are two easy ways to check the number of transactions that you have made for the month. First you can register at Touch ‘n Go website at http://www.touchngo.com.my/. Look for the 20% Rebat Tol banner on the left just below the header. Alternatively, similar to what I did, since I need the submit my toll claims, I registered for the e-Statement at http://e-services.touchngo.com.my/e-Statement/. Make sure you have the bunch of numbers at the back of your card ready when you register as that would be the key to identify your card.

You may also call their care line at +603 7628 5115 or email them at careline@touchngo.com.my for more details.

There you go. Happy touching and going!

Checking out I-City

Tonight we visited the I-City. Located just a few minutes from our home, we decided to go there since Papa Bear's Mom is here visiting and she has never been there. We just need a reason to go there... In fact, all of us have never been there since it is too near to us. You know how people always prefer to visit places that are far far away rather than those places that are within a walking distance from them...

From a distance, that would be the first thing that you would notice. Colorful trees! At first we thought that they were real trees but when we got there, they were not real trees... That's good! We would not like to see real trees being treated like that... Anyway, it was a breathtaking sight!

Mama Pasha, Bear's Mom and Pasha posing among the colorful trees...

Now it's Papa Bear's turn to pose and Mama Pasha take the picture...

It was not easy to get Pasha to stay still while we took his photo without the help of the flash. Anyway, Pasha had a great time walking around the park. He must have felt like a big boy as he refused to let us hold him. The yellow thing that he hit was actually a crescent moon shaped lamp. Now it looks like a tanglong...

This shot of Pasha and Mama taken at the bazaar area. Pasha was already preoccupied with the flashing and twirling light stuffs that were on sale there. He finally chose a remote controlled car with lighted tyres after spending some time trying to decide what he actually wanted out of the many interesting stuffs sold there...

Peace!

I-City is a good place for a whole family to just hangout and go for a fun stroll at the park. Located in between Shah Alam and Bukit Raja, it is open from 7pm to 2am. Don't go there during the day okay!

Our trip was worth it!

Coming Home

MAS flight from Jakarta to KLIA - April 25, 2010

It was time to go home. A clear day with the sun shining brightly and the sky... err what did the sky supposed to do eh? Well, the sky was clear dotted with some sparse clouds... Yeah.., something like that as shown in the picture below. It was just past noon WIB when we took off...

My definition of sparse was that I could see the ground from up here...

Pasha was seated by the window while Mama was in the middle and Papa was on the aisle seat. Yo can see how bright was the day from the window next to Pasha. I was sleepy and Mama and Pasha were hungry... Just wait until the food was served...

What did I tell you? Mama and Pasha were busy digging into the food. What happened to Papa? Papa Bear ate after these pictures were taken and no picture of Papa Bear eating because Mama was too hungry too snap any picture... heheheh...

Soon after that, I went to sleep... If I am not mistaken all of us went to sleep... Did they? Hmm....

Goodbye Jakarta...
