Free overnight stay at KLIA2

I landed at Malaysia yesterday night. My plan was to find a hotel nearby and go to KL in the morning. I saw some quite cheap hotels near KLIA2. Luckily, while in waiting room before flight, I met a new friend that will fly to Laos and have overnight transit at KLIA2. A new conversation will give us a new friend, and a new friend will always benefit us in any way. He told me to just make a free overnight stay at KLIA2. Hmmm... I should try. In KLIA2, most of the chairs are not meant to be used to sleep. They design the chair so that it is almost impossible for a person to lay down on the chair. But, "most" means that we will find some chairs that can be comfortably used for sleeping. The chairs are above the Departure hall in 3rd Floor (just another floor above gate to international departure). Fiuuuuh, my pocket is saved for one night... thanks, pal...

Download YouTube video as MP3

There are some ways to convert youtube video to mp3. I used to use online converter, but it fails when the video is lengthy (say more than 30 minutes). From my experience, the most convenient way for me is using youtube-dl (I love terminal. It is command based, so it might not very convenient for those who love GUI-based app). Here are the most convenient steps that I use: ## INSTALLATION ## The most convenient way to install is using pip . Followings are full steps for installation: 1. Install python 2. Download pip installer here . 3. Go to folder where you put get-pip.py then write this in your terminal $ python get-pip.py 4. Now you have pip installed. Time to download youtube-dl. Type this in your teminal $ pip install youtube-dl ## DOWNLOAD TIME ## 1.  Now you can download youtube video and convert it to mp3. Just type this in your terminal (change the video URL to the one you want to download) $ youtube-dl --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 https://www.youtube.co
