Sometimes... I'm  amazed by the speed of development. Things not longer the same after couple of months!

KTM amazed me. Lady and gentlemen, here I present you the KTM komunter ticket machine that serve me well atleast 13 years ago! Oh my gosh, its exactly the same machine, the same button and the same behavior (Always out of services).

The only change is thy introduce "gerabak wanita" which allow only female to occupy it. The rest of stuff is the same, for example:
1. The train "turn off" its power (air con, speed) occasionally.
2. Lazy announcement on destination. "Kepong.. stesen Kepong"
3. Just for reference "arrival time"
4. Just for display "ticket gate". When you try to slot in your card, a ktm officer will just wave their hand and said: " masuk je". And when you push the gate, its not lock even no ticket presented.
5. Just for display ticket. No prove needed to show you are a valid passenger. In and out.. no ticket needed.
6. The ticket collector box. A separate wooden box for used ticket collection. This box is more popular than the ticket gate.


Enjoy the photo:

Ethos, pathos, and logos

-
Ethos, pathos, and logos are super useful tools, especially if you want to get better at persuasion, writing, or even just understanding how people make arguments. Here’s a simple breakdown: Ethos = Credibility It's about convincing your audience that you are trustworthy or an authority. Example: “I've been a dentist for 20 years — trust me when I say this toothpaste works.” Pathos = Emotion It's about stirring your audience's feelings — fear, joy, anger, sadness — to persuade them. Example: “Imagine the pain your child feels with every cavity because you didn't choose the right toothpaste.” Logos = Logic and Reason It's about using facts, data, or logical arguments. Example: “Clinical studies show that this toothpaste reduces cavities by 60% within six months.” Together, they’re like a full toolkit: Ethos makes people trust you. Pathos makes people feel something. Logos makes people think logically.
