Blackberry and Bus


Salam to all my friends,

Today post, I'm going to write in English. Why must be in English as all this while, I wrote in Bahasa Melayu Sarawak???? A few of my friends asked me to write my blog in English. Yes, they love to read my blog but could not understand the language (Sarawakian nang terer chakap banyak bahasa ba...salute ngan dirik sendiri ngan orang2 Sarawak jua. Yah mun datang ke Sarawak iboh mok klaka bahasa lain, belajar bahasa kamek orang yg indah2 tok). To be fair and square to all my admirers and friends, I have decided from now on I will write my posts in English, whether it's Manglish or American English, as long as you all can understand....

Back to my topic, Blackberry and Bus. What is the connection between those two things? Oopps, forgot to tell you all. The Blackberry is not a fruit but a cellphone (In Malaysia we call the tiny little thing that can talk as a handphone...new term for you all to learn, if in future you all wanna to visit the USA). The Blackberry is a multi-functional handphone. Its rival is iPhone. Most Americans will use Blackberry and iPhone. Well it's not hard for them to buy, since they can opt to have a contract with any telecommunication companies such as AT & T, Verizon and T-Mobile (ala macam Celcom, Digi and Maxis). You subscribe an unlimited data plan for 2years, then you will get a FREE BLACKBERRY....Fuyooooooooo, free Blackberry. Wish we have that kind of service in Malaysia. Don't dream lah!!! Wait till another 25years, when all of us can have PDA handphones, then we can have that Free Of Charge Handphone...

My Blackberry Curve...

Since I'm in the USA, it's a pretty handy (senang ba) for me to check my FACEBOOK and read my favorite blogs whenever I'm free or on the bus. Even I use my blackberry to locate the LSU Tigers Trail bus. Am, it's not funny. Yes indeed I can locate my bus by just using my blackberry (canggih kan...nang canggih ba...). The bus company makes a partnership contract with a company that creates a website that can help any customers to locate their buses. Wah so easy, damn so easy. Every time I want to ride on the LSU bus, I just check the website using my blackberry. I can check in my bedroom, office or even in the toilet (tengah2 melabur pun sempat jua mok check. Yelah dapad target bila bus sampei kat bus station). So there is no need for me to stand for a long time at any bus stops in the LSU areas (Relak2 ba kat sitok). I still remember, my friend and I have to wait for an 1 hour at a bus stop in front of the Sarawak General Hospital. Even till now, our juniors in the school have to wait and wait for their buses to come. Imagine, if they have PDA handphones just like any American teenagers, for sure they will know the time for their buses to come & target their own time to walk to any bus stops in Kuching. Maybe after 25 years, then the bus company (I think only 1 left now) can adopt this technology approach in their services.

The bus is coming....

Ah, my bus is coming. I need to go now..see you all in my next post....please don't hit by a train if you walk under a bus...Listen to the Bachelor Girl's advice...yeah!!

Well indeed u r not my friend.

Good info my fren..at least as another "outdated" lady from Swk, i will say u share a good info here..something that we don't have in Sarawak or Sabah. I am not sure in Peninsular though... U can write whatever new experienced that u have over there because tech or anything in our life will change through time. Menar sik?
