KLIA2 are for budget carriers


+ Portable Wifi via Klook (Wiyo) +

The first problem we have encountered when it came to communication is to find the person we were supposed to meet to claim our portable wifi. We weren't able to get a decent answer from the concierge at the arrival (after immigration). Based on earlier reviews at the Klook site, you were to meet a person in some area within Dunkin Donuts (?) and you'd have to hand over 200MYR (remember this guy is a stranger) and trust that person to refund you of the deposit. Apparently this is not the case anymore. We walked aimlessly for a while and re-read the voucher we hadn't noticed, a block number which means they already have a designated space! We found them near Auntie Anne's and is next to a shoe store.

We usually bring the unit only because the case is too clunky and adds weight to our walking bags.

The device allows 2 devices to connect which is good enough for the two of us. So far no matter where we went the signal is still strong, be it at the subway or the far flung area of Melaka. The charge went out on us on the 2nd day but we were almost back to the hotel then plus we have a powerbank ready. The speed went I tested it at the bus out of the airport went as high as 20mbps both UL/DL.


 

+ Kuala Lumpur Bird Park +

After lunch at The Weld we got ourselves a Grab to visit the famous KL Bird Park. This wasn't in our IT at first but Reagan was enticed by the stories I retold from an officemate when in their stay birds kept on running after them. We wanted to replicate it as well, unfortunately none of them even came close to us.

Our tour around started by 4pm. It is enough for us to roam the park and see whatever they have to offer. Most of the birds are unfortunately the same, I couldn't recall the names except for the peacocks that kept on popping everywhere. If you wish to see them in their full glory, just keep close with the female peacocks, because once the male ones spot them they go full mating ritual. There was one part where a single female bird attracted about 3-5 of them in one area to which us tourists hang around the longest to capture any one of them in full display.

They are really pretty to look at! Saddening that not all of them have full tails

Probably THE best bird there


Always my pet peeves, I wished areas that had water, have water. They have a waterfall fixture but the lack of running water dampens the overall look.

T&J Weds: Getting a License at the Mandaluyong City Hall during the Pandemic (2021)

-
Image
As of writing, our application for a license is now on the way. We were able to do everything in one day with not much hassle but it took some hours to finish since we started the process. It's a bit different than before but man, I love that we didn't have to take a leave on another day (other than getting the license obviously).  Requirements 1. CENOMAR -PSA copy, 210 PHP at SM Business Center; will take almost 2 weeks 2. Birth Certificate - PS copy, 155 PHP at SM Business Center; will take a week 3. Government IDs with Mandaluyong address. Old bills, minimum 6 months prior can be submitted as well in lieu. I prepared 3 bills for this, Meralco, Globe and Assoc Dues and the processor only got the Meralco one (photocopy). I don't have IDs with Mandaluyong address but bothered to photocopy my other government IDs bearing our Cavite address and my condo's IDs but those weren't accepted.  4. Application Form - submitted and filled out in triplicate. 5. CEDULA - Can be...

TME: Getting your NBI Clearance Easy

-
Image
UPDATE (10/25/2013) As I've visited their site , GCASH won't be a form of payment for them from now on. You may now choose to leave this link as it is now obsolete as of this writing. I may try to write the different mode of payment in the near future. UPDATE(13/01/2014) Here's the new, updated and lazier version  < this is clickable just so you know. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I will not explain the full details, but me and my office mates regularly need an NBI Clearance. It's one of my most hated moments because it is so time consuming. Yes the process is as fast as they can make it, but you only need to see the extremely long queue to give up getting one during lunch break. So, when one of our office mates found a fast track option a whole lot of us instantly grabbed the chance. There are about 3 steps in getting an NBI clearance (payment, encoding, picture taking) and all involves different sets of queues and wh...

SNAP: BPI Express Credit Card: Ridiculously fast.

-
Image
I did say before how I try my best to stay credit card free except for my trusty eprepaid card . What ended that promise and what bothers me now is how I got one in the first place. This is seriously weird, and fast at the same time... and I haven't even applied to them!! Tuesday. Received a call from BPI That I am eligible for a card. The only thing they ever asked was where I was working. After that I was told that they'd be sending my card anytime soon. Friday. Text from BPI saying my card was approved. What? Saturday. Noon. I received my card (LBC) with a credit limit far from the 10k limit I was prepared for. If I want something more than that I will pay in cash but never in credit.  Why do they have to give me this tempting limit at all?! Why?! So what just happened anyway? Monday-Tuesday I was in contact with a Citibank person after a referral of an officemate. Thursday they called the house and so far not anything from them yet. The mysterious t...
