[Travel Tips] Check your luggage immediately after you hauled it off the belt

Conveyor belt of Taiwan's Taoyuan International Airport

This is something I only came to know few days, while having a chit-chatting with a relative who used to work in the aviation industry.

He shared with a piece of information maybe some of you guys already aware of it that is - "Check your luggage immediately after you hauled it off the belt."

If the luggage was damaged in the process when hauled it off from the airplane to the conveyor belt, the passenger should immediately notify the "Lost and Found" counter or the relevant department of the airport.

That is only if your travel insurance covers such occurrence if such event took place.

Normally, according to what my relative told me, the relevant authority are liable to such incident, and in even that the damaged luggage cannot be repaired, a new luggage of similar value will be compensated to the owner.

So do aware of this, check your luggage and whosoever should such incident takes place...

Oh Tiger why??

Saw this picture of a seat onboard a "Tiger Airways" plane from an internet posting.

The first look at the picture would give an impression that this is ridiculous and totally unacceptable, even if the seat was not being occupied during the flight.

I would like to add on that "Tiger Airway " while being a non-frills flight operator, should not compromise on issues such as this - it certainly look kind of bad and the considerable damage had been done to its image.

Perhaps, they should take a cue from Air Asia regarding handling passenger feedback.

What a shame...

其实，参加类似《抢摊大行动》的节目不一定能达到期望的效果甚至也是恶梦的开始。

借由名厨指点和加上电视的大批宣传一番后，如果日后无法维持原先所传受的一切，即使挂着印有这节目的标志的招牌也无法能挽回食客的谓。

但也有些人认为向节目寻求援助的落难档主是受到节目播出后的社会，舆论压力而崩溃渐渐无法发挥节目内“大试吃”所展现出的水平。

与此同时，制作组因公信力的考量也为这节目设下严格的标准，就因为地给欢众一个交待。

也就因在这公信力的前提下，观众如果无法尝到节目所塑造成的口碑，就有这权利来发表对食物的评价和看法。

也因如此，残酷的现象都几乎出现在多数参与的档口—节目播出后所带来的另一批“坚定团”。

通常来者，多数是试吃的心态，一旦达不到所设的标准，就会有那种“吃过一次就算”的心理。

另方面，被债务和许多开销的负担所累，这些档主也会趁这“热潮”能赚多就尽量应付大家的“期望”。

也就是这样不眠不休的情况下,也难怪长厨的人可能在体力耗损后影响了所端出的佳肴。




而预告片呈现出的画面是不会撒谎地，名厨们大多也为了自己的面子及名誉，而好无保留的斥责这些无法保持水准的徒弟。

像那位卖肉脞面档主的经典语录：“师父，我，我不可太压力地，我会疯掉地！”已很好地印证参与这节目过程地背负起的义务及责任。

结果，忙到来也是一场空。

Some pictures along the way....

Sometimes, it's kinda fun to carry your digital camera around and snap whatever you find it interesting...

Took this shot when the MRT train was on its way to Kranji from Yew Tee...

A new condominium, right outside Yew Tee station (it's a common sight everywhere to fill up such residence in any empty plot of land)

Snapped this shot of Lorong 2, Toa Payoh while on my way home from Toa Payoh Stadium.

Kitchener Road - row of restuarants selling vegetarian and Southern Chinese cusine dotted along this road named after the famed war-time British Field Marshal.

Sunrise... not really, just that the lighting that time made it looked as if it was

Everybody was kinda glum-face as it was MONDAY BLUES when the shot was being taken

社会的“寄生虫”

“口水多过茶”... Best to describe these two "aunties" for hogging the seats

说也奇怪！难道有些人不觉得这样的日子过地很没意思吗？

整天坐在某个角落，每天三五成群来个“东家长，西家短”的聚会，一点也不显得单调吗？

One and a half hour gone liao, change partner still chat like nobody business

讽刺的事，政府常道这些人是“开国先驱”，近几年来时常用各福利来“报答”他们的“贡献”。

不过，从笔者的眼里答谢这群“闲人”不如把这笔钱用在别个有用途地方。

Amazing!! these layabots gathered for more than 2 hours! now enjoying their lunch... waste of human space!

起码，不会像一些“寄生虫”浪费资源…不是吗？
