Missing picture from the blog
I made a mistake when I switch account for my blog as I want to maintain a single account and I deleted the previous account I used to compose all the post. But then I forgot to link all those picture from Picasa to this new account and now all the picture from the previous post is all gone. I will try to upload the pic as much as possible as there is too many post and some picture are no longer with me.
KLIA Bus Ride
I decided to use Aerobus from KLIA to Klang during my recent trip back to Malaysia. The route of bus is from KLIA to KLIA2 and stops at Premier Hotel at Bukit Tinggi 1 Klang.
So below are the simple step to get to the bus stop and purchase your ticket
1) Exit from the arrival hall
2) Turn right and take the lift to the second floor (same floor of Food Garden)
3) Head to the exit to car park C and D
4) Once you reach the entrance to the car park there will be a lift. Go to ground floor
5) You will then see the ticketing counter once you exit the lift at the ground floor.
Tips in Qatar - E Gate
After so many years at Qatar I finally decided to get a E Gate. For many who don't know what it is. Qatar E Gate is a smart ID card which allow citizens and residents to pass the passport control / immigration check by just insert the e gate card and scan their fingerprint.
Reason I was hesitated to get it much earlier is because I seldom travel and also thinking moving to the new airport the queue would be better but it is not. Is just the same and while queueing every now and then you have an annoying person bump into you and stick to you like a glue as of the airport running out of space. So to avoid this I decided to get e gate.
I been searching over the Web and so far getting so many of different info especially with the pricing. So here is the latest info I am sharing.
The place to do it the e gate card is a Gharafa. Is a building beside at the round about when you heading to QNCC.
You may click the link below for Google Map location
There is plenty of parking behind the building. Once you enter the building, go to building no 2. Pass the main entrance at ground floor and walk straight and on your right there will be a photo booth, show your Qatari ID to the person in charged and have your photo taken and fingerprint scanned. Then just across the photo booth there is a queue for you to get your number. Queue at the right lane. Tell the receptionist that you are making new e gate and you have taken your photo and fingerprint scanned.
Be seated and wait for your turn. As for me I waited less than 5 minutes. Once your number is called go to the counter and tell the teller the same that you are making a new e gate and get your credit card ready. Sometime the lady may ask for ATM card which also means your credit card. I ask for 3 years validity which is QR300. For 3 years renewal is QR200. Pay and the teller will ask you to be seated to wait for the card to be ready. Sit near to the counter so she or he can see you when your card is ready as they won't shout for your name.

Once you got your card go back to the entrance. There will be two kiosk machine. Over there you can check the card validity or activate the card. You may also check your E Gate validity at MOI website at this link
For renewal just queue to get the number and the rest follows.
Also to my surprise the staff over there are very friendly. I'm very impressed
Money Transfer - TT
For most Malaysian working overseas that frequently transfer their salary back to Malaysia, I think it is good to keep those money or reinvest in the country you reside now until Q2 2015 or somewhere May / June timeframe.
