How Pirate KL Connected to the World

I'm used to use TM Net Streamyx (1.0 Mbps) few years back 2007-2009 as it was sponsored by my housemate, Baharin eventough I'm the one who actually subscribed for the service during Matta Fair at PWTC. Then from Streamyx, I moved on using Maxis Broadband after Baharin decided to reduce his monthly cost.

Actually Baharin replaced the internet connection from Streamyx to Maxis Broadband after he managed to be part of Maxis Communication Bhd at plaza Sentral, KL Sentral. Being part of a permanent staff, he entitled with free RM350 data usage and RM350 for calls every month (i'm only a 3rd party staff in Maxis). We used to work in the same company, same building but with different department before I joined Sapura Secured Technology, Wangsa Maju in September 2008. He left Maxis for a better opportunity end of 2009. With the RM350 usable data usage, he subscribed himself an unlimited data for his I-Phone, USB Stick Maxis Broadband and Maxis Broadband for house service. Unfortunately, the Maxis Broadband for our house was not so well perform maybe because of the location or the weak service itself. So Baharin terminate the service at our house.

To settle the issue (I'm still offline at home), my close friend, Iwan who are also part of permanent staff at Maxis (Sunway Call Centre) offered me with his USB Stick Maxis Broadband service for free. Since the day,  I'm used to connect to the internet anywhere, anytime eventough I was surrounded by trees at my kampung (only manage to get GPRS & EDGE signal). However, it is sad to say that the service of Maxis Broadband are quite bad even I'm using it straight from the Maxis Telecommunication Tower. I believe the location will not trouble the signal strength of my internet connection but it was not true at all. By the way, I'm the one myself who part of the Maxis team that manage to on air the 3G service via the Telecommunication Tower at Damansara Damai (where i'm currently). The signal service no to say only in Damansara Damai, I believe many more places having such the same problem, slow connectivity. It was not a permanent problem as sometimes the service are at it's best. The intermittent service make me sick with the Maxis Broadband services but since it is free, I still use it everyday (no choice la...). 

Then I have an option. As part of Celcom Business  P48 user, I'm decided to change my Celcom Business package to P148 (after considering my average Celcom bill already around RM150 every month) as it will serve me with 3.6Mbps free unlimited data usage, free 50 hours Executive Pax voice and video calls within my company who are also under the Celcom Business, 10 sen/min to all networks, free 300 SMS within network, with SMS Pack subscription at RM2/month I am also manage to SMS at RM0.02 sen within same network. With my Nokia 5800 XM (bought using my office RM500 handphone subsidies during a month of the phone launching day), now i'm connected to the world for 24 hours anytime and anywhere. With the service, I returned back the Maxis Broadband to Iwan. 

Ermm.. there is still but... Using my Nokia 5800 XM as phone as a modem limit me to fully use the 3.6Mbps speed. So I bought a Broadband USB Stick but one more problem occurred. My sim card scratched and damaged as it was always pull out and push in both in the phone and the modem. Now my phone and the USB stick cannot detect the celcom network. This is the biggest problem of all but lucky me, to solve the problem I just need to go to any Celcom Branches  to get the new sim card with minimum charges. Since then, i'm not using the USB stick any longer and keep thinking to giveaway to a lucky blogger one day :). It's worth RM130++

After one of my nephew being part of TM, he got a special staff rate for all service provided by TM. And since Damansara Damai was covered with Unifi (new High Speed Broadband from TM), I decided to subscribe the VIP20 Unifi service.

What is VIP20?

V - Video or Internet Protocol Television (Hypp TV) - 21 channels

I - High Speed Internet - 20 Mbps speed

P - Phone (Voice Service) - no rental

That is all for today. Later, I will share more exclusively all about Unifi service by TM after almost two months connecting to the internet, watching the tv and talking through the fixed line via the High Speed Broadband Unifi.

See yeah!

Happiness or Sadness?

Every human being has the right to choose how they feel; you can choose happiness or sadness.

You may be depressed or heartbroken, over something that may have happened to you or something you did a long time ago, maybe even years ago, to yourself or to others. But you need not stay in that depressed state any longer.

There is no need to carry that pain any longer inside of your heart, day after day, year after year. You must not let it grow continuously because soon enough, that one issue you are sad or depressed about will turn into your normal way of thinking. Negative thinking has a domino effect!

When one door closes in life, another one will open, but if you do not let go of the pains of yesterday, the joys of today and tomorrow will never, ever be discovered. They will be overshadowed by your misery. You must let go of the past to be happy. There is no ifs, ands, or buts!!!!!!!

Quit living negatively in the past, and focus on what you can do about today and in the future. You see, what happened in the past, you have no control of, today. You cannot do a thing about it, so why live there?

Start living and loving the things you can control such as this beautiful day or maybe call a friend that you had a relationship with that turned bad and re-kindle it. Go out and create joyous experiences and turn happiness into a constant way of thinking.

Enough is enough... Do you not agree??

Do not let the torments and regrets of yesterday live in you deep enough, to cover your progression and happiness for today.

What do you think?

Happy Malaysia Day

For once, maybe we could stop thinking of the bad things and start remembering the good things, even for a little while. Little incidents and encounters that make us so Malaysian, that shape our warm and generous ways, that make us happy that we live in this country and not anywhere else.

In the name of humanity, we must commit ourselves to create a better world for ourselves and for the people who will come after us. 16 September, our beautiful Malaysia Day. Love for being Malaysian.

Three Strategies to Ensure Smooth Traffic by PLUS

PLUS Expressways Berhad (PLUS) will implement three specific strategy to ensure the public enjoy a safe, smoother and comfortable journey during the forthcoming Hari Raya Aidlifitri holidays.                                                                                             

The strategies include traffic distribution, customer convenience and efficient traffic management system. At a press conference held at Persada PLUS to announce PLUS preparations for the festive season, Managing Director Noorizah Hj Abd Hamid said, ”We expect traffic on the North-South Expressway to increase by 30 percent to 1.4 million vehicles a day compared to 1.1 million vehicles on normal days for this upcoming festive season.” 

1) Traffic Distribution 

In coping with the increase in traffic and ensuring smoother traffic flow, PLUS has came up with a ravel Time Advisory (TTA) to assist the public in planning their journey during the holidays. The TTA consists of recommended travelling times for various destinations from Klang Valley to major states and town in Kedah, Perlis, Pulau Pinang, Perak, Negeri Sembilan, Melaka and Johor. 

This effort is suggested to distribute traffic and reduce congestion on main routes of the highway, toll plazas and rest and service areas during peak hours.  

(Kindly refer to the Travel Time Advisory attached in Attachment A) 

The TTA was first introduced by PLUS in 2007 and is based on careful analysis of travel patterns during past festive seasons. It has proven to be a major factor in contributing to smoother traffic on highways during festive period. “For example, during last years celebration of Hari Raya Aidilfitre, approximately 50 percent of highway users followed the TTA suggested by PLUS. Therefore, we hope that the public will continue to cooperate by following the schedule released for the upcoming Hari Raya Aidilfitri,“ said Nik Airina. 

2) Users comfort 

In order to ensure users of the highway enjoy a comfortable journey on the upcoming festive season, PLUS will also take the listed initiatives: -

Detail	Description
Reload lane	Reload lanes at toll plazas will be closed from 6-9 and 16-19 September to avoid congestion at toll plazas.
Reload ’n Go counters (7 locations that will be opened specifically for Hari Raya)	Open on 6-9 and 16-19 September at selected R&R to enable highway users to reload their Touch’n Go or PLUSMiles card.
Resources	PLUS will appoint 3,000 employees at toll plazas.
Toll counters	1,000 toll counters will be open to ease toll payment transactions.
Supporting staff	400 supporting staff such as RELA will be deployed to strategic locations along the highways, toll plazas and rest and service areas to assist with traffic management
Emergency services	120 fire department personnels, Police, St John Ambulance, Red Crescent Society and Public Defense Department will be place at 12 strategic location 24 hours daily.

Meanwhile Ismail urged the public to follow the TTA in planning their journey to facilitate smoother traffic flow along the highway. ”We hope that the public will continue to cooperate by following the TTA which is a pro-active initiative by PLUS to provide a safer, smoother and more comfortable journey during the upcoming festive season,” Ismail said.

NO Speak English

A Russian woman married a Canadian gentleman and they lived happily ever after in Toronto. The poor lady was not very proficient in English, but did manage to communicate with her husband. The real problem arose whenever she had to shop for groceries. 

One day, she went to the butcher and wanted to buy chicken legs. She didn't know how to put forward her request, so, in desperation, clucked like a chicken and lifted up her skirt to show her thighs. Her butcher got the message and gave her the chicken legs. 

Next day she needed to get chicken breasts, again she didn't know how to say it, so she clucked like a chicken and unbuttoned her blouse to show the butcher her breasts. The butcher understood again and gave her some chicken breasts. 

On the 3rd day, the poor lady needed to buy sausages. Unable to find a way to communicate this, she brought her husband to the store...
