From bharian:

“Kerajaan hari ini mengumumkan kadar tol di Lebuh Raya Utara Selatan (Plus), Lebuh Raya Sistem Penyuraian Trafik KL Barat (Sprint), Lebuh Raya Bertingkat Ampang-Kuala Lumpur (Akleh), Lebuh Raya Sungai Besi (Besraya)dan Lebuh Raya Baru Pantai (NPE) akan dinaikkan 68 sen dan 50 sen.”

Oh Dear, toll rate increase again.. Where can I save now? Just stay at home probably.. Huhu. At this economic downturn era, the goverment should find a way to delay the increment of the toll rates until next year or longer. Although it is understandable that it is in the consession agreement.

I’ve been using most of the highway mentioned above in my daily life.. Hampeh betul.. Let’s see:

$. Lebuh Raya Utara Selatan (Plus) : Mahu balik rumah, Kota Damansara -> Ipoh. (RM24.++/one way)

$$. Lebuh Raya Sistem Penyuraian Trafik KL Barat (Sprint) : Mahu pigi keleja, Mutiara Damansara to KL Sentral (RM2.00/one way).

$$$. Lebuh Raya Sungai Besi (Besraya)dan Lebuh Raya Baru Pantai (NPE) : Dari rumah Palai ke tempat kerja, Puchong -> KL Sentral (THREE (3) Toll maa - All RM1.60×3/one way before).

Oh, God..! 0.68 sen per KM..! And it became 14.2sen per KM. Now is a good time for saving! Luckily I got motorcycle. But it is considered fatal to use motorcycle during ‘thunderstorm’ days at KL now..

Well, what can I say..

I remember last June 2008 I have submitted this BORANG PENDAFTARAN TAMAT PENGAJIAN PEMEGANG-PEMEGANG BIASISWA PERSEKUTUAN / PINJAMAN PELAJARAN JABATAN PERKHIDMATAN AWAM MALAYSIA to them.

Again, this year (January 2009) I received the same letter with header ‘MELAPOR DIRI SETELAH TAMAT PENGAJIAN BAGI PEMEGANG_PEMEGANG BIASISWA PERSEKUTUAN JABATAN PERKHIDMATAN AWAM (JPA)‘. Darn..

So, I make a call to them (JPA) and ask for this issue.. They answered well that the letter might ‘lost in action’ as they usually encountered cases that some of their letters they really didn’t received. And, they said just resubmit the form and no action will be taken as I asked them, worried that JPA will take some action on me.

I tried to download the form again at the website, but it look like the website is not there. Or maybe just I have bad internet connection. I did Google search for specific keyword = “JPA(L)/PTP-Pin. 1/07)” and landing at some PDF link. But when I tried to download seems like it’s not there. Huh?

Luckily I checked my computer and found last year’s form. It is the same form that have to resubmitted. Thinking that somebody might have trouble downloading the form too, I mirror the downloadable form at my site. Just click PDF icon or link below.

And don’t forget to include these things also when submitting to JPA:

i) Borang Pendaftaran Taman Pengajian [ JPA(L)PTP-Pin.1/07) ]

ii) Salinan Ijazah/Surat Pengesahan Senat (salinan perlu disahkan)

iii) Salinan transkrip peperiksaan (salinan perlu disahkan)

iV) Bukti permohonan pekerjaan dengan Pihak Berkuasa Melantik Persekutuan. (eg SPA : www.spa.gov.my) Minimum jawatan ialah lima (5).

Thanks, and all the best.

P/S: BTW, I just saw gov has increase their salary. Ah, update for last interview.. I got calon simpanan for the Pegawai Penyelidik Q41 (Kejuruteraan Komputer). Hm.. the salary sound interesting. Hehe.. Ok. Bye2.

Lately I was wondering what can I do to got some money or extra income. There has been a few ideas pop-up in mind to gain some extra cash.

One of them is E-book. I dunno whether it is still relevant or not at this time, but at least I can give it a try.

I’ve googling and doing some research that there are a lot of E-books that talk about IM (internet marketing) rather than computer in Bahasa Melayu.  Hm, this sound quiet good as Malaysian need something more than IM; the technical skills, the handbook of life, something practical, other than virtual life. I’ve also read that Ebook can be sold if there are someone who want to read it, no matter whether how worth you think it would be inside.

So, I’m thinking to do something related with computer. Something valuable for some special readers. Something that anyone can understand than technical skills.

Ideas for the ebook has been scratched down to papers, and my friends (luckily, there are a few friends would like to assist and see it successfullness) and I will start writing from today onwards. There are a few chapters and the draft will be reorganized after all papers has been submitted.

Seems like Lutfi, my comploggers friend, has taken a step to ‘install Operating System’. So my EBook will be different and probably unique. I have also a chat with Aman and he said that ebooksphere has filled with internet marketers and he suggested some other ‘practical’ ebooks to test the market. As for Sabri, he support the idea of making computer Ebook, and updated he is currently busy with something and also hoping BuletinPC will achieve something one day.

That’s all for now. Wait until we announce the book, revised it for making it worth, and sell it for super duper discount for the readers. Thank you all for supporting computer industries.

NOW, BACK TO WORK GUYS..
