Happy Birthday to My lil' Sis - Audrey Joan Anthonius

This post is for my Lil' Sister - Audrey Joan Anthonius.

I don't remember when the last time I gave her a present. But I don't think I gave her any present before.. Yeah, yeah.. I know I'm not a good brother. Hehe..

But deep inside my heart, I know that I always have a place in my sister's heart. And for sure she has a place in my heart! I don't know if I am a good brother to him but I always care and try to be there whenever she needs me.

You know, when we were still kids, she is my fighting partner. Not fighting as "fighting". What I mean is we always quarrel and I think that is normal for every siblings. As we growing up, we beginning to be closer to each other. We will have our gossip sessions sometimes. Well, can't help it coz she's the only sister of our siblings. Sometimes, she tell her problem to me and I think that's what make us closer. We can talk almost about everything and when we don't want our parents to know what we talking about, we will speak in Mandarin.. Hahaha.. And my dad will ask:"Apa yang kamurang cakap tu??? (What are you guys talking about?)" Hahaha..

So, that's why I write this post for her. I don't have any present for her so I gave her a great birthday song made by my friend, Kay Kastum (I told you he is a good composer, didn't I?). So I'll put the video here so that everybody can enjoy.

So for my sister, here's the song for you....

P1 WiMAX - the speed is superb but not always!

Hi all,

It is time for me to make my own review on my current Internet Service Provider (ISP) which is P1 WiMAX.

I switched from streamyx to P1 just because I don't like streamyx service and the connection speed was sucks, too! Another reason of this switching was because we were moving to a new house (another block of same condo). Then I went to TM Point at Sunway Damansara Branch and they said the phone ports are full and have to put my application on waiting list. I have worked as Streamyx Help Desk before and based on my experience if your name is on the waiting list, then you have to wait for at least a months or more. It is depends on whether there are people moving out from my area and not using the phone anymore.

So I said, that's it! I agreed to the customer service and pray so that there is a way for me to have internet connection. As I was on the way home, just before my condo entrance, I saw p1 bus parked at the road side and without even thinking, I stopped in front of the bus and called one of the staff to test the signal at my condo. Before I proceed... I forgot to tell you that I have been checking and reviewing P1 WiMAX before this.

And they came with me (there were 2 of them) and tested the signal at my computer room. The result was superb! The signal LED was green and I'm viewing videos on YouTube without even pausing the video. The video streaming was crazy! I have never seen such speed except in my former workplace where I can download a full movie with 800MB in 17 minutes. But P1 speed still not as fast as my former office speed. Yet, it is much faster that streamyx.

So, I immediately decided to subscribe to P1 after seeing that kind of connection speed. We waited for few hours and we got the connection. We were so happy that the connection speed was as expected. It was extremely FAST! For a person who like P2P downloading, this is the kind of speed I was looking for. The download rate on my BitComet went up to 270Kbps and I have no slow browsing issue while I'm downloading. All these things make me happy...

The bad part....

After about a month of using P1, the connection speed started to slowing down a little but that's fine with me as I'm aware that it is not cable connection but using wireless signal. WiMAX came from the word Wireless Microwave Access and the technology is based on microwave signal. So keeping this in mind, I thought it will only be temporary...

The worse part....

The third month, it was ok but I was not as impressed as I used to when I first met this 'Download King'. That's what P1 staff called it. I complained and send them email of a screenshot of my speed test. I subscribed to 2.4Mbps (RM199 per month) but I only getting less than 1Mbps of download speed and the upload speed not even reach 100kbps! And I thought - What the Heck is happening?? I released my ip, renew it, reset my modem but it was still the same.

The worst part...

It is still happening today! Oh my gosh! And it getting even worse than the worse part! I'm using internet not just for entertainment, downloads or leisures. I used internet for my online business most of the time! I have few blogs to maintain, I'm selling on eBay, selling items on an online game and this means that I need a fast connection for both downloading and uploading. I subscribed the 2.4Mbps package because of this and because I'm sharing this internet connection with my other housemate. I don't want to hear anything like 'we are the download king' or whatsoever crap. You claimed yourself 'Download King' and 'Fastest broadband in Malaysia' and we as customer hope that you deliver as what you claimed to us!

Today I don't bother to download while surfing anymore. It just make things worse. And the download/upload rate? Don't make me talk about that.

That is my review... It seems that the connection is ok sometimes, but not always. The thing that happening often is it was slow, just slow... Sometimes I even thought of switching to streamyx back but the contract of my P1 is 2 years. I guess I just have to wait for my contract to end and subscribe to any new, stable and promising ISP next.

Until next post,

My List of Addictions

Another day has passed and I'm still awake now at 3.00am...

Well it is just my sleeping habit. I wouldn't call it sleeping problem because a lot of people having the same thing happening to them. If you ask me to go to bed and sleep before 12am, I don't think I can fulfill your request as I'm used to sleep around 3.00am to 7.00am. Another reason is I feel like this is the best time for me to do all my work online - marketing, checking emails, check my eBay account, updating my Facebook (now I have 2 accounts to maintain) and other stuff.

I can't stop this as I am addicted to Internet and Computers. Since the first time I lay my hand on computer, I feel the connection and I really like it. I still remember that time, I think it was on 1998, the era of mIRC. I was addicted to mIRC and spent almost everyday at cyber cafe as that time not everybody can afford to buy a PC. And that was my starting point and it has become my addiction up until today.

Symptoms of Addiction of Internet and Computers (AIAC).
1. You can't get your hand off your keyboard even it is 7.00am and you already feel sleepy.
2. You still sitting in front of your PC/laptop even your job online in finished and in fact you have nothing to do anymore.
3. You pick up your phone and call anybody just to wake them up to accompany you in YM/MSN/Google Talk or any other Instant Messaging.
4. Changing your Facebook/MySpace/Friendster/Hi5 profile pictures more than 3 times a day.
5. Taking almost all the quizes available in Facebook and publish them on your profile and hoping that your friend will see it.
6. "Jangan dulu ko tidur baa... masih awal lagi ni. Kita chatting la sampai pagi..."
7. Updating your Facebook status and keep on refreshing your profile page every 2 minutes just to check if your friend commented on your status or not.
8. You spend at least 2 hours on YouTube. That's because you keep on clicking on related videos and you end up leaving your real purpose on YouTube behind.
9. And you name it.... The list still can be built.


Anyway, I only have 2 symptoms of the above list. lol.

Apart from AIAC, I also addicted to other things. See below:
1. Guitar
2. Nescafe/Coffee
3. Tobacco/Cigarettes
4. Tuaran Mee
5. Ikan Basung
6. Kicap soya cap Ayam (only available in Sabah)
7. Chili (cili padi dari Tuaran, KL punya cili ndak sedap)
8. MONEY (I want to get addicted to money so that I will only chase money everyday! Money is not everything but everything now needs money!)

I can live without Guitar (as long as there is music), Tuaran Mee and Ikan Basung (as long as I don't keep them in my mind) but not the others -Nescafe, Cigarettes, MONEY, Kicap soya cap ayam and especially Chili. I just addicted to them.

This last addiction is the one that I really can't live without. That is my Baby, my fiance or any names that I would call her. I'm telling you I don't know how to continue to survive if she is not around. To be specific, my ultimate addiction is LOVE for my Baby.

Well, that's it for now. So tell me your addictions too guys.. this should be an interesting topic to disscuss. Therefore, don't forget to comment and share your addictions, too.

I'm going to end this post now but I wont go to bed yet... I just don't feel sleepy.......

Until next post~
