China's High Speed Train
Who would have thought that China can beat all so called developed nations with world fastest train? Not once but twice with maglev based at Shanghai and now intercity train. During its test run, 394kmh were recorded while 350kmh will be its normal travelling speed. It will runs from Guangzhou to Wuhan in 2 hours ++ at the distance of 1068km. When Malaysia can have its own high speed intercity train? Times Of India

After spending billions to build double track from Rawang to Ipoh, Government finally announced the arrival of 1st express electric train called ETS. It was build by consortium of Hyundai Rokem and Mitsubishi valued at RM240 millions.
Funnily enough, KTM only ordered the train after double track project finished. So, diesel locomotives are currently being used as commuter train from Ipoh to KL that takes 3 hours journey compared to 1 hour 50 minutes with that new train. What kind of planning is that??
Why Pak Lah scrapped the double track project valued at 8 billion few years back? It almost double the original cost when new contractors being appointed recently. sic.
ETS Highlights:
- 240 millions for 5 trains with each one contains 6 coaches
- Can carry up to 300 pessengers
- Design speed at 160kph while maximum running capped at 140kph
- Ipoh – KL journey takes less than 2 hours
- Free Wifi
- Disable friendly toilet
- Stewardess
- CCTV

MotoGP Sepang 2009: Rossi World Champion in Wet October 26, 2009

As expected, Rossi becomes world champs after finishing third behind Stoner and Pedrosa in wet condition. I was there with thousand of MotoGP fans and I must say deja vu after 10 years absence. The atmosfere is good and cheerful with many booths from Kawasaki, KTM, Petronas, Yamaha, Suzuki and others.
Many cheer our local boys in 125cc Elly and Zulfahmi with their Aprilia and Yamaha. They deserve a better chance if more concerted effort were done to groom world class racer. I think Tony Fernandes effort in Lotus F1 team is a huge morale boost to local motorsport industry as people like him is the hero in getting things done like what he did to AirAsia.
OK, let’s watch smartphone quality video I took and hear motogp engine noise. It also shows Rossi overtook Lorenzo at turn 9.
These are the photos around grandstand and ticket booth where they implemented new web based system which took at least ONE minute to issue even one ticket. Can I complain? Grrrr……….

ICT Tips #012: Things You Can Do with Thumbdrive October 15, 2009

I stumbled upon this article about interesting things can be done using thumbdrive other than storing files. I have been using a lot of these features like booting Linux and portable apps but never thought about writing about it until above article came out. Nevertheless, it’s something many of you might find it new. Go ahead and try it.
1. Running portable applications and application suites (check out PortableApps.com)
2. Booting Windows or Linux from the drive (check out these TechRepublic resources, “Create your own bootable USB flash drive for Windows XP”, “SolutionBase: Puppy Linux teaches an old dog new tricks”, and “Linux in your pocket: Run SLAX from your USB keychain”)
3. Speeding up Windows Vista or Windows 7 with ReadyBoost
4. Creating a Windows password reset disk with the USB key instead of a floppy
5. Using the flash drive like a key to lock your computer (check out Predator)
