Yes we know  that is the alarm for fire. Remember do not run but walk fast to your emergency evacuation. Building have their own protection such as sprinkler, fire extinguisher, and smoke detector. How about protection in our own house? Fire can occur at night/dawn, when mom are busy attending to their children, an event in the house. The house can burn for less than 5 minutes

Let us see the video on how fire can trigger in our own house.

Many products sold in the market to prevent fire. One of example is having portable smoke alarm. How this portable fire extinguisher work?

Paris City of Love

Paris...City of Love...

I dont think so..You have to experience yourself before come to any conclusion. :)

There's no need to fly from the UK to anywhere in Europe.  It's surprisingly easy, quick and comfortable to travel overland by train from London to just about anywhere:  Spain, Italy, Greece, Prague, Helsinki, Moscow....

Set off from London St Pancras International and arrive in Paris Gare Du Nord in just over 2 hours via high-speed train with Eurostar.

Checking in is easy with Eurostar: you can print your tickets or download them on your mobile with the Eurostar app. From St. Pancras, you will reach Gare du Nord station.

To meet their daily customers expectation and faster time travel, Eurostar has introduced a new train that will cut short 15 minutes of their usual travel time.

Eurostar passengers travelling between London and Paris will soon have their journey time cut by 15 minutes, after the company unveiled a fleet of new high-speed trains.

By the end of next year, travellers will be able to make the 306-mile trip to Paris through the Channel Tunnel in just two hours, thanks to a 200mph state-of-the-art train.

Built by German firm Siemens and capable of carrying 900 passengers, the e320 trains will replace the current coach Class 373/1 trains which run at up to 186mph.

Hop on Hop Off

Budget! That is what we are concern when we travel to other country. How to manage it?

With mission to conquer the globe, I keep reminding myself to not overspend on unnecessary cost especially transport. Travel by bus is one of the way to manage your resources. Back in 2014, when me and my friends went to UK, we try to cut cost by using public transport especially bus. From Paris, to Brussels and last destination we reach Amsterdam.

10 days trip and aiming to visit few places, lead us to plan ahead our vacation. It started by googling all the maps and public transport available. The best thing to travel to this country they able to purchase tickets upfront from their website and just print out for evidence.

How accurate is the timing? Yes definitely, no doubt. If the bus supposed to depart on 10.00pm, Yes it depart at the same time without any delay.

When in London, I experience a technology when riding the bus. It do improve our journeys and customers friendly. Transport for London (TfL) uses a single technology solution supplied by Trapeze ITS (CH) to track and manage its fleet of over 8,500 vehicles to provide accurate location information, service control and realtime passenger information. This information is used as the core of a complex command and control and delegated operational performance strategy. These tools provide a unique source of information for passengers on arrival times, disruption information and the open reporting of performance statistics.

Singapore is a Fine Country

I am from JB (hidup JDT!!). How we end up living here is when both my parents decided to move from Singapore to JB when my brother was born.

My father is Singaporean and my mom was born in Melaka but raised up in Singapore. Yeah he still working there and not planning to retire I guess...he is 66 this year. No worries my mom fully housewife which will monitor our behavior regularly.

Why I decided to choose Singapore as my first country to blog? Hey of course this is the first country I visited after I was born. One more thing, I see the development in the country for 28 years until to date. Compare to Malaysia, my late grandmother once said "Dari aku anak dara sampai da ada cucu..tambak Johor macam tu gak"..I guess she complaining on every time she have to go through traffic jammed and queue at the immigration border.

Talking about traffic jammed, we in Malaysia having the similar issues especially at Toll gate. I am the frequent user of Tol Batu Tiga Shah Alam for the past 5 years. Yes I am not the only one who facing the issues. In fact I’m using SMART TAG to avoid queue at cash and touch n go lane. But still this traffic is unavoidable. Am I paying the toll to get into massive jammed??

 

Who said that Singapore did not charge toll to those drivers? They use this system called ERP. How it works???

ERP Singapore stands for the Electronic Road Pricing, in Singapore. It is a traffic management system that was implemented in 1998 to address the road congestion faced by many road users in Singapore. It complements the COE (Certificate Of Entitlement) which was implemented earlier in 1990.

All cars in Singapore will have a special gadget incorporated into the car, called the IU (In Vehicle unit). This gadget is normally mounted on the right had side of the dashboard below the windscreen, directly in front of the driver. In the IU, there is a cashcard or a stored-value card. Each IU has a unique identity to each vehicle. (Same like our SMART TAG)

Electronic gantry (Toll Gate). The gantry detects the vehicle and its associated unique IU. When a card with this IU goes through a gantry, the gantry detects the car and its associated IU and make the necessary road usage deduction from the cashcard in the IU automatically.  The sensors installed on the gantry communicates with the IU via short-range communication system and the amount deducted is displayed to the driver on the small LCD screen od the IU.  As the gantry is managed and electronically controlled, it can adjust the toll fees according to the time of the day and different days and thus effectively adjusting and moderating traffic. The “toll fees” will be most expensive during peak hours, so as to discourage road users during this peak period so that road users can look for alternative route.

With the advancement in Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, in 2006, the Land Authority of Singapore intent to eventually replace the current gantry ERP with a system based on GPS.  The new system will provide flexibility and speed due to the physical constraints of the gantry especially when it comes to putting up new gantries or even relocating existing ones.

Ok wait for my next post...bye2..
