APIIT Bus Collision at Bukit Jalil LRT Station

noreply@blogger.com (Ji Yuan) — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 15:34:00 +0000

See the photos and the text report is below.

On the afternoon of 3 July there was a severe collision involving the APIIT UCTI bus and a taxi. The bus in question was assigned LRT rounds on the day, and it was on its way to its destination when the collision took place. From several sources I have compiled this appropriately detailed report.

The bus carrying students to the LRT station from the college was on Lebuhraya Shah Alam, an expressway, about to turn into the Jalan Merah Cager, a busy junction due to there being a traffic signal. It was then that the bus driver realized that he couldn’t engage the breaks on the bus which was travelling fast but within limits.

According to accounts from several witnesses of the collision, the driver first used the pedal to brake, and that was when the brakes on the bus failed. Several people claimed that they saw sparks when the brakes were engaged, the sparks were issuing from the wheel arches of the bus, probably because the front left tire had exploded.

The driver however was determined to stop the bus and by this time he had already entered Jalan Merah Cager, barely keeping the bus steady on the corner as he tried, without prevail, to engage the hand break failing again to stop the bus.

At this point, further ahead, a taxi was cruising on the lane closest to the sidewalk, also driving his customer to the LRT station. Meanwhile the bus driver was now attempting to turn off the road, but given the speed, and no way to stop, he rammed the taxi in the rear and shattered the rear windscreen. The taxi was now moving sideways until it hit one of the pillars on the sidewalk, which supports the canopy. This made the taxi’s front end lurch to the left and ram into the other pillars of the canopy, which no longer stood shading the sidewalk, and instead crumpled to a heap on the side.

The bus however is a much heavier vehicle and so after it rammed into the taxi, it continued to advance right at the side walk at a 45 degree angle, at which point the front of the bus crashed right into the canopy at speed. As the canopy, which was made from tin, wrapped around the front, the bus had already gone completely across the sidewalk and that was when it finally came to a halt.

According the reports from witnesses, there was a woman in the taxi, who exit the taxi after the collision. She had suffered from cuts to her hands while coming out of the taxi due to the broken glass, and so she was bleeding. Reports also suggest that she was in shock when she emerged from the wreck. The students on the bus were all fine; apparently everyone was seated at the time of the crash which preventing them from being harmed in this unfortunate collision.

Below is the gif I made with the photos I took after they moved the bus so that it can be towed away.

I stood in front of the bus APIIT UCTI

noreply@blogger.com (Ji Yuan) — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 13:17:00 +0000

My name is Loh Ji Yuan and I stopped the bus.

Around 9 o'clock in the morning, a yellow Bas Sekolah with a tiny APIIT/UCTI logo at its windscreen was stopping in front of the yellow box after the traffic light near Gate 1( near 7 Eleven) of Arena Green Apartments. It was a bus coming from Vista Komanwel going towards APIIT/UCTI’s Building in Technology Park Malaysia. It had stopped there for more than 30 seconds because of the traffic congestion.

I decided to cross the road from Arena Green to enter the bus. So I crossed the road and I looked at the traffic in front of the bus and made sure that the traffic in front is static. At that point in time, I knocked on the door of the bus. The bus driver that wore spectacles was on duty for that shift. He refused to open the door for me while the traffic was not moving.

So I walked from the side and stood in front of the bus to ask the bus driver to open the door for me and once again he refused.

I opened my arms wide and demanded, “WHY? WHY? WHY?”. The bus driver moved the bus forward even though he was fully aware that I was standing right in front of the bus. I did not budge, planting both of my feet firmly on the ground. The bus driver stepped on his brakes inches before me. I again continued to ask him “WHY? WHY? WHY?”.

At that moment, he opened the bus door to take my student ID, asked me to take it back from Mr. Anthony who is in charge of student discipline and then he ran back into the bus. I entered the bus before he closed the door. Minutes later, I finally set foot in APIIT.

That was what happened on 9th June 2009.

__________________________________________________________________

What went through my mind when I decided to stand in front of the bus?

I felt cheated. I felt I wasn’t being treated fairly. I felt I was being discriminated against. I stopped the bus. The fact that I felt discriminated was because the buses on numerous occasions picked up many other people from many different spots including the exact spot where I tried to catch the bus. I had to ask “WHY?”, what was the reason?

It’s moments like this that pushes people beyond their limits. There I stood, risking my life, irrationally. I have to apologize to all the ones that love me especially my parents but all I wanted, and stood for, was equal treatment.

___________________________________________________________________

I queued outside Mr.Anthony’s office waiting for my turn to see him. When my turn came, I walked into his room and told him I was there to take my student ID. He turned his head and spoke to Mr.Selva and said: “This is the boy who stopped the bus.” He told me that the buses are supposed to only stop at designated spots and not anywhere else. Vista Komanwel buses are not supposed to pick up students from Arena Green, only buses coming from the LRT station can pick up students from Arena Green, according to him. I tried not to react, I did not want to say something I would regret because I had anger in me. They told me that they would send a letter to inform my parents about this incident and warned me that if I stopped the bus once more I would have to face the disciplinary board. Mr. Anthony asked why I stood in front of the bus and wondered what could have happened, if the bus driver had been arrogant and if he had decided to not stop and drive over me. I told him I could have been injured or worse lost my life. After the discussion, I got my student ID and left.

I went for lunch and calmed myself down. I went to Mr. Anthony’s office again with my reasoning and thoughts that I couldn’t answer during the first session. I then expressed what went through my mind when I risked my life to stop the bus, which I have explained above. I made suggestions that they have proper signs to tell students about the designated spots.

Mr. Anthony accepted my suggestions but Mr. Selva interrupted and said that the location of the designated spots is a known fact to all the students and questioned me whether they have to have a large signboard showing people that? I admitted my mistake for being irrational and I said that I know I was wrong to stop the bus. I was merely trying to tell them why I did what I did. The first reason is because there was no proper notices on the bus that tells us where they should or should not stop. The second, is how the bus stopped for other people and not me.

Mr. Selva once again told me that I was wrong to do what I did. Again I explained that I knew I was wrong and admitted my mistake. But I was merely trying to tell them why I did what I did. Mr. Anthony suggested we end the conversation because we were going round and round and so we left his room.

I am glad that I stood up for something that I believed in but I feel guilt about the means I chose to stand up for my belief. It shouldn’t have been so reckless. So it doesn’t feel right and in fact quite wrong. So do not let your self do something like this.

What I'm Doing in Penang

noreply@blogger.com (Ji Yuan) — Sun, 17 May 2009 03:31:00 +0000

Many of you are curious, what do I do in Penang?

Well I can honestly tell you, I practically want to do nothing when I am back home besides helping my mom with her chores.

When I do not have any responsibilities, I rest and forget all my worries with a cup of Kopi-O.

Ashuminator Salvation

noreply@blogger.com (Ji Yuan) — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 15:10:00 +0000

After yesterday's update on The Curious Case of Ashutosh Dwivedi, I shall update on Ashuminator Salvation.

Ashu went through the surgery safe and sound.

Once we arrived, we went to Room 523.

The hospital food was bland so we brought Ashu Naan bread from Taj Curry House.

Ashu went through uretheroscopy first where they insert the equipment into his urethra looking for the kidney stones,break them and flush them out. After that its J stenting which is the placement of a stent used to dilate the ureter and allow stones that may have got stuck in the ureter to pass. That will stay in his body for approximately 3 weeks and he will have to go back to the hospital to remove it.

Image source.

The above image is an example of how it looks inside his body when the scope goes into his body. The yellow object is the kidney stone. It will then be broken down into smaller pieces by a drill like object at the front.

These are the broken bits of the kidney stones from Ashu's body.

The nurse coming to check his blood pressure and body temperature again. According to Ashuminator, he has been asked 21 times about his allergies and explaining the same thing to them every single time is tiring. This is due to the fact that there are many student nurse in Subang Jaya Medical Centre and they rotate a lot to have more practice but can't they just check from his file or something?

Sami from Malawi was all fascinated by the modern facilities in the ward.

At last we disinfected our hands before we left. Ashuminator will be discharged before 12pm the next day. Wish him well!

The Curious Case of Ashutosh Dwivedi

noreply@blogger.com (Ji Yuan) — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 15:56:00 +0000

My cell phone rang this afternoon. I looked at the screen and it says Ashu. "There must be something happening..." those were the words in my mind. I picked up the phone and he requested for water at the 3rd floor beside the library. He said it was an emergency. I told Priyanka to take care of my stuff in the syndicate room and I rushed to the 3rd floor with my bottle.

He was there with Darshini and her tupperware. I passed him my bottle and he explained his situation to me. I called Derek to borrow his car to bring him to the clinic. When I went to his car in the carpark beside APIIT. The serious double parking and sometimes even triple parking condition in the carpark has delayed the trip to the clinic for quite a while. He was in tremendous pain , Priyanka's calls came in asking me to hurry and I couldn't do anything about it. I called the guy and he was walking all the way from enterprise III to the carpark. A solution has to be made about the carpark situation in APIIT. A college with 5000+ students only have enough carpark for 200 cars?At last that guy came. I quickly drove to the APIIT entrance and picked him up alongside Momo. Ashu was in pain, I tried to go really slow whenever we meet a road bump but it still hurts for him. Went to Klinik Sentral in Sri Petaling. It was this lady Punjabi doctor and she is fierce! The face she put up when Ashu requested her to change the referral letter's hospital, phew....boy,it was nasty!

After that I drove to APIIT. Dropped Momo at Arena Green on the way. Picked up Derek and headed to Subang Jaya Medical Centre with the guidance of Derek's GPS phone. We went to the emergency ward. He was in there waiting for the specialist to admit him. Derek and I waited there for around 2 hours. The specialist came and decides he has to do a CT scan.

Aravin,Derek,Farhud,Kaveh and I were there with him waiting for his bladder to get full before going for the CT scan. Btw, he has a medical history of kidney stones.

Ashutosh on the phone explaining his situation to numerous friends.

Ashu in pain.

Ashu text messaging his friends even when in pain.

Kaveh disappointed with Ashu being busy contacting others despite being sick.

After his CT scan, the specialist told him that the kidney stone that is causing him pain is not that severe but he has another 8mm kidney stone before his bladder.

Surgery is required. It will take place tomorrow.

He is currently admitted to room 523(South Tower) in Subang Jaya Medical Centre which is now called Sime Darby Medical Centre Subang Jaya.

Show your support and care to Ashutosh! A friend in need is a friend indeed.

StudentARC Leadership Camp 2009 #1

noreply@blogger.com (Ji Yuan) — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 12:59:00 +0000

Few weeks ago, I attended a leadership camp. Yes! The cliche type! Its always the same thing,the same talk,the not same but same activities, but still, I benefit from these kind of camps one way or another.

So we gathered in APIIT and we headed towards Lenggeng.

(note:click images for larger versions)

Mike Gomez was doing his 'thang' with the guitar with the same old David Archuleta song. But this time take a close look into the eyes of his two most avid fans.

We arrived in Excel Training Resort which is situated closely to Nottingham University in Semenyih.

The ice breaker was to give ourselves nicknames and trying to remember each other's nickname to stay in the game.

Assignment & Lizard

noreply@blogger.com (Ji Yuan) — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 13:08:00 +0000

"The lesser we desire, the happier we get."
That was what I told Andrew while we were walking to Sri Petaling.

I was finishing my Business System Analysis and Design assignment and googled 'delivery' for an image of a delivery van and this is what I got.

The photo shows the doctor suctioning the Mouth and the Nose. Thank your parents for bringing you to this world.Click for Source.

My assignment is finally done and I'm going to submit it tomorrow. A million thanks to my classmate Priya for giving me some pointers.

No! She's not wearing sunglasses, that's my pinhole glasses.

The other day, Siavosh and I went to Sri Petaling and he spotted this lizard. I had my camera with me, voila!

Close up shot of this beautiful creature. Notice the lizard wears the same colour as my blog,thank you Sami for noticing.

"His Girlfriend is Below Par"

noreply@blogger.com (Ji Yuan) — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 19:35:00 +0000

Last week, I went to Sunway Lagoon with my high school buddies. In the midst of our conversation, my friend John made a comment that spiked me up to write this post.John was telling that me that he bumped into our ex-classmate Mike the other day. He thinks Mike is actually quite a handsome chap, but his new girlfriend is below par. My first reaction was "What do you mean by below par?". He said she looks cao lao* and a little thick. I was really disappointed by his remark due to the fact that he can say that someone's partner is 'below par' just because of their looks.

*cao lao - hokkien phrase for someone that looks older than they should

If he had said that her looks were below par instead of just 'below par', it would've been no big deal but that isn't the case. I replied him saying "maybe she has many other attractive trades besides her looks or perhaps she is more mature and loving.." hoping to bring out his deeper side but he simply said that his previous partner is better looking. Sigh.

Later on, we went to the wave pool just to chill out and relax. John pointed out a girl and dared Leon to ask for her phone number. Leon refused his challenge and said the girl wasn't pretty. John was surprised by Leon's remark and asked me about the girl's looks. I said "bo sui*". John complained that we are asking for too much. My reply was "I have very high standards when it comes to defining physical beauty but it doesn't mean that I seek for my partner based on that criteria." Leon agreed with me.

*bo sui-hokkien phrase for not pretty

I sincerely think that pretty looks is not all that important when it comes to choosing a partner. Good looks might be all exciting and cool but at the end of the day it is the character and personality that matters. I've met people that have average looks with such great personality that it shines through everything. These people are actually the most attractive beings in the world and not the pretty faces.

Several weeks ago, right after I told my brother that looks are not important, he reminded me that I used to tell him that a romantic partner should at least look decent.

You wouldn't want her to look like this,do you?

I did not deny it but explained to him that looks does play its role but it shouldn't be an overshadowing criteria.

"If a book has a pretty cover, it will make you want to flip it open but one will not buy it just because of its cover, it has to have substance. But a dull cover that has great content might just lie in the corner of the bookshop forever."That used to be what I preached. However, something was missing, is it true that nothing can be done to help the book in the corner? I asked myself. The new me places the last piece of the puzzle by concluding that a book with great content can choose to have a simple but catchy title to do the job.

We all need kickstarts and after that it is up to you to make things happen.

R.I.P Sharon 吴君芬

noreply@blogger.com (Ji Yuan) — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 05:04:00 +0000

As I was preparing for my update on Valentine's day, I received a text from my ex-colleague Kai Lin.

"Sharon met an accident and passed away this morning..."

That was the exact line in the SMS. The first thing that came into mind was "OMG! Is this a joke?". And then I calmed down and read it again. It won't be a joke, its from Kai Lin. We seldom correspond since we left our working place. Then I told my housemate Andrew about the death of my friend. I called Kai Lin minutes after. I was asking for more details from her and the sadness behind her sobbing voice was apparent.

She was on the way home from her part time job at Starbucks,Queensbay around midnight. She on her motorbike in Sungai Dua when a Honda that was trying to overtake a Rapid Penang bus hit her. She then fell and got ran over by the back wheel of the bus. Her 19 year old life was taken away on the spot.

Sharon 吴君芬 was my colleague when I joined AMD Penang. We were working side by side in the Global Accounting Financial Services Record Retention.

From the photo above, you can obviously see that she was a very cheerful girl. She always appeared as a happy-go-lucky girl. I can still remember when I first joined, Sharon, Kai Lin and I were in the small store room sorting out the accounting documents. She was one of my first few friends in the workplace. I've always admired her honesty. The way she speaks her mind without being afraid never fails to impress me. The sound clip of her laughter is still so vivid in my memory bank and it is as if someone has set the iPod of my brain to repeat mode as I'm writing this post.

My colleagues in Record Retention.

Look at the happy faces of GAFS...

The photo above was take shortly after our Christmas Gift Exchange session. We shuffle the presents randomly and she got the one from me. It was a leather belt. She was happy when she opened the gift wrap.

This was a gathering session at Kompleks Bukit Jambul after she left AMD because school started.

At last, this is a picture that I will never forget. All of us drew this together on Microsoft Paint.

We should all live our lives to the fullest and have no regrets! She won't want us to stop for her, deep down in my heart, I can hear her voice yelling at us:"Go on,my friends!I lost my chance, don't slowdown yours!"

Goodbye,my friend...

Deepest condolences to her family...

The first thing I did when I arrived at home is to go upstairs, put down my luggage and changed my jeans into this comfortable kampung checks shorts as you can see in the photo.

My dog was so excited to see me again and I decided to take him for a walk.

My boxing day was quite hectic. In the morning,I went to Sunway Pyramid to meet Ernest. The condition in the parking lot was insane. It was so crowded!!! I think the whole Malaysia came to KL for shopping.

After Sunway, I rushed back to my dad's place to pack some stuff then rushed to Bukit Jalil. Took a bath and headed to the LRT station with my friends. After that we arrived in Hang Tuah station. We walked pass Berjaya Times Square and witnessed a fire performance.

Snapped this pic with the Silver Midget right outside Bukit Bintang's Maybank. Donated RM1. He's making good money from tourists.

LogicYuan's Christmas Eve

noreply@blogger.com (Ji Yuan) — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 16:42:00 +0000

Just found out I'm actually 'that' tanned after comparing myself to many other people this week. You like me tanned? lol

Christmas Eve, something like our Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for the west. Some people choose to party, some people feel obligated to have dinner with their family members or some just wanna relax at home and chill.

(I set my camera on the tripod and snapped this shot without informing them,I just thought "posed" family shots are too common)

As far as I remember, this is the 1st time I spent my Christmas eve out of Penang. As you can see in the photo above, just me and my parents at the dining table, munching fruits in the rented apartment in Klang Valley. I miss everything in Penang! No worries,will be back home in a few days!

(Clockwise from top left,Garlic Fried Rice,Pan fried Salmon Fish Tail,Budweiser Beer and Tetley's English Ale,Steamed Cod)

Simple and delicious home cooked food. Perfect! It has been a long time since I last had Cod.

These are books and magazines that I browsed through. All of them were on offer so I bought them. The mags are 2 for RM5, they're a little old but still good.

Ellie! Here's our camwhore pic! Ellie the Elephant lifted me with her trunk! Just kidding.

Found out about a new feature on Windows Live Messenger while webcam-ing with Missy Cheerio. You can actually sign in from 2 different devices with the same account at the same time! Try it yourself. You can sign in with 2 different computers or you can still sign in the messenger with your cellphone without disconnecting your messenger in your home PC and use both at the same time!

I just like the colour-orange because I feel happy looking at orange!

A list of short thoughts

noreply@blogger.com (Ji Yuan) — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 14:45:00 +0000

I was brought up in a middle income family and I didn't have many luxury indulgences other than food but the bottom line is that my parents provided me a comfortable life. I do see people living in poverty as I used to walk to low cost flat areas myself to explore but I never quite see what were the sacrifices that the people have to make behind the scenes. Most of my closer friends are wealthy and never really face any huge problems in their everyday life. As I grow up, I see more and I listen to more. I learn about other people's experiences. Like instance I have a friend that married a man because her family needed financial help and end up with a person that she doesn't love romantically for life. Another friend of mine, her dad loves the family so much but he has a very very bad habit, which is to gamble, I guess I don't have to elaborate what gambling can do to a family. I think I will stop here.

I watched "Chak De India" the other day. Its an Indian film starred by Shahrukh Khan(Yes that dude that Malaysia wants to give Datukship to!). The story was nothing great,predictable just like all the other inspirational sports movies. Just in case you do not know,its about a women's hockey team in India that is being looked down and then in the end wins. I don't mind watching inspirational sports film that are not too interesting in their plot because I love sports and the sporting spirit never fails to touch me. The thing I like most about the film is it reflects the cultural and ethnic differences in India itself. I bet many of you think Indians are just Indians,what's the difference? There are actually lots of parts of India that have people that look different and speak different languages. We all know the hot North Indians from the Hindi movies and also the Tamilians that are the majority of the Indians in Malaysia, of course I cannot miss out the Punjabis that usually are minorities in many countries but they are everywhere but of course you cannot compare them to Chinese people. Chinese are everywhere! There also people in India that looks like East Asians with small eyes and petite size. Those live near the Himalaya region. Anyway one nice discovery, I didn' t know Punjabi women are known to be bullies! Haha! No offense k! Just joking! I still think Punjabi women are hot! Don't kill me!

To judge or not to judge?

I can't prevent myself from judging people sometimes, I guess I am human after all.

Some stewardess parked at my parking lot with Victoria's Secret paper bags in the car and also clothes and suitcases scrambled all over the backseat and frontseat. Had the guard to clamp it and I had to park at the lot reserved for the disabled. WTF!

Sami was out in his balcony and someone poured disgusting stuff and it got onto his head. OMG! Mad people! Not to mention I actually tossed expired raw chicken from the 16th floor before but I tossed it far!
