Is 5GB Per Month Enough? Fair Usage Policy

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

I don’t think so. Last week, I was on leave for the whole week and did some light browsing at home. To avoid contamination with other PCs in my house, I conducted this test while purely tethering on my BlackBerry device. WIFI was turned off.
The only objective is to see how much data I am [...]

Secret Recipe at The Curve Damansara

Sunday, September 27th, 2009

My other half and I have always loved Secret Recipe. Among our favorite dishes are the Thai Fried Rice, Vietnamese Beef Noodle, Singapore Laksa, and not forgetting the cakes. It’s a Malaysian brand, and it provides good food.
However we have not been visiting any outlets since a couple of months ago because we had a [...]

Allianz Auto Assist

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

My car refused to start on Sunday, and as a car dummy I didn’t expect it was the battery. I thought the maintenance-free dry cell would last longer than acid lead batteries. That incident caused me to miss a friend’s wedding, but I am happy to see the pictures posted in many other blogs as [...]

The biggest offender of all - a UPM bus

Maxis to bring iPhone 3G to Malaysia on March 20

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

Really? That short notice? I was casually browsing my Google Reader when I stumbled upon this exciting news. Exciting? Not anymore. I don’t know why but the frustration of waiting has made me less interested in iPhones. The time stamp on the news was like 4 hours before I started this entry. Fresh!

Queue Jumpers Beware

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

If I were to make a separate website dedicated to share pictures of queue jumpers, would anyone be interested in joining in? It can be worldwide as queue jumper is not a rare breed.
Queue jumpers deserve to be shot, and if I have the power like Sylar I would have thrown the truck upside [...]

Aedes, Go to Bandar Baru Bangi

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

This picture was snapped in front of the shop next to Restoran Amir, Seksyen 9, Bandar Baru Bangi. Yes, behind Pusat Rawatan Az-Zahrah and Pusat Rawatan An-Nur the two big medical centers. Aedes can’t read blogs, so if you’re a public health officer go there and try to do your job.

Locked Fire Door at SOGO Kuala Lumpur

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

I can’t help noticing that all fire doors next to the elevators are all locked. I do understand that fire doors need to be kept closed at all times and some are locked electronically but these were locked using padlocks. In the event of an emergency, would the person responsible be running from floor to [...]

Shop Jusco or Carrefour

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

I have been doing groceries shopping alone for about 20 days now, and I have always done it at Jusco. However today since I had to pick up my spectacles from Focus Point I went to Carrefour instead. There were several differences between Jusco and Carrefour and to tell you the truth I prefer Jusco.

On Property Purchase and Money3

Thursday, December 25th, 2008

As some of you might already know I bought a property in August, and the banking procedures were dragged until September where RHB Bank suddenly wished to change the loan amount. My agent, agent S was a 22 year old mobile agent I found through word of mouth. She was not helpful because she didn’t [...]

Anonymous Cowards

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

Anonymous coward - this is the default user name that is displayed on Slashdot for users who wishes to post comments anonymously. It’s really an appropriate term. Why would you want to be anonymous if you really believe what you’re talking about?
I am mainly disappointed with people who are promoting racial tension in Malaysia. If [...]

What Happened to My Upload Speed?

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

For quite some time I have been working from home with no difficulties, and I am happy with the speed. Sometimes I even have 3 or 4 terminal service windows open, juggling between them to complete my tasks.
However this morning when I tried to utilize my Nortel IP Softphone 2050 to call my boss for [...]

Google @enstek

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

From conversations I had with my colleagues at work, and from other friends I heard that Google is going to have presence in Malaysia, specifically at @enstek in Sepang. It’s a new flagship area opening its wings to tech companies from all over the globe.
Is this really true? In some stories I even heard that [...]

This Is Not SPAM

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

Since the past 2 weeks I have been receiving funny and annoying emails that start exactly like this:

Maaf menganggu..
Maaf, ini bukan SPAM (This is not a SPAM). Tapi untuk menyampaikan satu berita mengenai
biz yang menguntungkan
Kalau tak berminat delete saja

And each of them is actually promoting different programs: i.e. easy money, forex investments. Translation:

What Happened to Marché Mövenpick?

Monday, November 17th, 2008

I went to have lunch at Marché Mövenpick at The Curve on Saturday and I was a bit disappointed by the lack of staff and all the waiting we had to do. While I understand that the system is for you to order and wait they should not have ask people to come back in [...]
