Some funny stuff about chinese people making fun of this Mamak fellow!
Air Asia goes under the motto, "NOW EVERYONE CAN FLY".
Well, so happen Air Asia was my Carrier plane to Macau!
Got up early one day, i did last minute packing(You know..men...).. :)
Rush to KL Central, manage to get into bus(Aero Bus(RM8)-Cheaper by RM1 to SkyBus(RM9))
Got to LCCT, check in and waited for my plane.
Well, once the flight plane was called, i got into my plane.. It was a brand new AirBus320(above)! The flight attendents was hot and pretty. The seat stylish black leather seat with a nice combination of a red seat belt!
But, Sadly, since AirAsia was a budget airliner, the seat was make closer to one another and therefore removing much needed leg space for tall people like me.
Here is their signature food, Nasi Lemak!
For those of you who can not read the description propoely,
it says,
Nasi Lemak,Traditional Malaysian favourite. Tender Chicken rendang with fragrant coconut milk and pandan rice. Served warm with accompaniments and Snack Attack's Special sambal sauce. RM7(Note the freakishly small price tag!) Hey... it is also their best seller!
and so, the menu goes on with more eye opener...
Hot Bowl Noodles(RM7) same with nasi lemak!
Cheapest thing, oreo biscuits RM3
Note that, Milo-MiloFuse3in1 is RM4.. And they just add hot water to go with it!
I rather DRINK MY OWN BLOOD!!!
*********************************************************************
So, while on my way back from Macau, i was force to eat their food, Nasi lemak was just moderate. You actually can get a better RM1 nasi lemak on the ground and it is like 100times better. The Nasi Lemak looks nothing like the picture! Every Scope i took, i was thinking about the 7packet of indoe mee i could have eaten for 1 packet of nasi lemak!
Anyway,
(Ground Mineral Water)*bring yourself*-RM0.00(Free)
(Ground Nasi Lemak)*bring yourself*-RM1.00(very cheap)
(Ground Snack)*bring yourself*-RM2.00(very cheap)
Haha.. Basiccally, AirAsia, is a con artist! Eating onboard sometimes would even cost more than your flight ticket. Sometimes i wonder if they want us to pay higher fares, why don’t they just say so. don’t hide them under the facade of “taxes” and “fuel surcharge”, making the passenger believe he is getting a bargain (or free ticket ~ yeah right, airasia), when in fact the revenue is earned thru such devious means. often you may pay more in these surcharges than the actual airfare itself. since the rise in oil prices, airlines have been increasing their fuel surcharges again and again. (now, does this make sense? i thought fuel was the major operating cost for any airline, so why the surcharge? if fuel prices go up, so naturally would fares. but fares stayed low (or hey, free man ~ yeah right, airasia), while fuel surcharges sky-rocketed.
now that oil prices have fallen by some 30%, did the airlines lower or withdraw their fuel surcharge? nope.
well, okay, that’s not entirely true. at least one airline did lower its surcharges (see below). but the amounts are so token (hello, 50 cents?), they are laughable.
i think it is time to expose the airlines for the frauds that they actually are.
CX Fuel Surcharges will be revised as follow for ticket issue/reissue
on/after 01Dec06.
Levels:
I/ FROM USD61.70/HKD481.00 TO USD59.70/HKD466.00
II/ FROM USD15.00/HKD117.00 TO USD14.50/HKD113.00
Below please find the details:
1. The surcharge will be revised for ticket issue/reissue on/after and travel on/after 01Dec06.
2. USD59.70/HKD466.00 or equivalent for CX flight coupons between HKG and South West Pacific, North America,
Europe, Middle East, Africa, South Asian Sub-Continent, between Bangkok and Dubai.
3. USD14.50/HKD113.00 or equivalent for CX flight coupons not mentioned in point 2.
fuel surcharges easily cover a third of the cost of fuel on flights
a calculation from a pilot over at PPRUNE shows that the fuel surcharge currently covers a very large percentage of the cost of fuel on most flights. the calculation is approximately:
a full flight (worst case) has probably 90 tonnes of fuel or 720 barrels. At us$60/barrel, it is about us$43,000.
at a us$56.2 surcharge each for 300 passengers, the total surcharge revenue is about us$17,000.
So it is about 40% or more of the fuel cost.
well...
Now, Everyone can fly and be cheated at the same time!
RTM Cawangan Hwei Ming
Basically, what this history tell us is that, RTM takes a long time to grow! Until now, their channel are flooded with advertisement just to maximize their profit in every pity little seconds we watch it. RTM has no match with HBO or STAR Channel even though RTM is only competing for viewer within Malaysia.
News on RTM is ever more worst! It displays news that are very one sided. Most of the time, you'll see some political leaders walking, shaking hands, and looking shinny due to the camera flash in the news. Sorry RTM, but seriously, i think, you guys should work on your overloaded add problem and boringness in the channel.
I strongly belive, RTM should split it channel into 4 categories, English, Malay, Chinese and Indian, instead of crapming all 4 languages into a channel that is also over crowded with adds.
I always thank god for the creation of Astro and hope for its longevity for many channels to choose from!
