WOW … WHAT A YEAR IT’S BEEN !

So much has happened in a year … while it may seem like 365 days is a long time … it hasn’t been for us.

Seems more like a flash !

December 15, 2008 … that’s when it all started. Wanna know what really happened ? When we were told that we’d be on in the mornings … we sorta freaked out cos … #1 … waking up early wasn’t exactly our forte since we were (at that time) doing the (old) Red Evening Drive slot from 4pm to 8pm and #2 … could we shoulder the responsibility ?

One year on … we still question whether we can shoulder the responsibility but the “waking up early” bit has gotten easier. Still not the easiest thing to do waking up before 4am but it’s my life now.

We’ve done some crazy stuff over the year and without a doubt … Shake Our Hand To Win 10 Grand was the best (and the worst). Worst because it really took a toll on our physical bodies … our voice got all scratchy from the non-stop screaming, yelling and laughing we did at each and every venue (which was an everyday affair by the way) and our bellies grew from all the weird food we stuffed in. But it was the BEST cos we got to meet our loyal listeners every single day … we played games … we gave away prizes … we partied. What a blast ! While we were doing it … we used to wonder “how much longer can we last ?” … it seemed we lasted throughout the 10 weeks (and more).

To everyone who met up with us at all the SOH locations … we love you.

Then there were the crazy stunts that we pulled … from interviewing Taylor Swift to doing the 4Play 4Feats … and thru it all … you were there with us.

Thank you so much and may there be many many more fun things to do and we hope you’ll be along for the ride !

WHAT'S THE POINT ?!?!?!

Driving around KL (and I’m guessing other parts of Malaysia as well) … you’ll see certain things that just make you go … “what’s the point ?!”.

#1 – Driving home

I’m a routine type of guy. I’ve got a certain way of doing things, I have to do it at the same time and it’s got to be my way.

So every day, I use the same route to go to work … I go at the same time and I see the same thing.

The street lights near my place don’t work. The lamp post is there … the bulb is there but there’s no light. It’s always at the corner, U-turn or at the blind exit ramp that goes to Jalan Duta from Jalan Kuching. Accident and after accident has happened in these separate places but there’s one common factor.

No one can see the danger cos it’s just so friggin’ dark there. What’s being done to sort this out ? Apparently nothing cos the lights still aren’t fixed and no one seems to care. I care … so what do I do ? I call up the relevant authorities but I’m given the run around.

So what’s the point ? … of caring … of putting up street lamps and not use it … what’s the point ?

#2 – Driving in Hartamas

If you go to Desa Sri Hartamas as much as I do, you’ll know that there’s a perpetual traffic jam at around lunchtime and around dinner time aka “habis kerja” time. The jam is caused by EVERYBODY leaving work at the same time … understandable. Also … it’s caused by a couple of numbnuts who seem to enjoy double parking their cars near the 7-Eleven-Devi’s Corner block and also the BlackHole-Pelita block (right across the fire station).

The authorities don’t seem to give tickets to these people, don’t tow their cars away … hell, these people don’t even get as much as a ticking off … whereas, in other areas around the Klang Valley, you see the authorities towing away cars that aren’t blocking anybody.

So you have to ask … what’s the point ? … or more appropriately … what’s the f**king point !!!!!

Any thoughts anyone ?
