so now we know how these rich fuck got even more fucking rich. thanks to the dumb consumers we have here. how easily we are duped by the not-so-smart marketing of these big corporations.
we all know streamyx sucks. but so far, i've had no problem with my streamyx connection, since like 6 or 7 years ago. problems and dissatisfaction only arise when you need their "human" service.
recently we had just moved into a temporary house nearby while the current house is going thru some renovation. so, my sis called up telekom to transfer our current telephone line to this temporary house. the service? one word - totally hopeless. okay, that's two words.
first call - they will sort of lodge a job or something like that so that the technical people can do proceed with the job of transferring the phone line. the person on the phone said their technical people will call back shortly. my sis waited for hours and no calls yet.
second call - so my sis called back, and guess what, she was put on hold, listening to music and she is using her mobile phone. she waited for a while, and put down the phone eventually. she gave me a call and ask me to check with telekom.
third call - i called telekom, and the lady on the phone says there is no job being lodge yet for that number. that's why the technician did not call us back. what the fuck!
fourth call - my sis then called back and clarify with them. indeed, it was not lodge yet. now, they told my sis the process will take a few days time, and they are not working on weekend. it's was friday, so we have to wait till monday for the next step.
fantastic service!
so, on saturday, my sis went to one of the maxis center and signed up on a maxis wireless broadband. check out this graph from maxis website:-
i'm sure it makes you go - WOWOWOWOWOW, so fast ar! scroll down and look again!
wow x9999999 again. Absolute portability. Surf anytime, anywhere at super speeds! SUPER SPEEDS. seii meii... pang sai that time also can surf. i bet chua soi lek was downloading porns with maxis wireless broadband during the session caught on cctv.
the best thing is on the maxis wireless broadband site, it says - Really, no minimum contract period! I repeat - NO MINIMUM CONTRACT PERIOD! With an exclaimation mark, ok! Period.
my sis was so sick with the maxis wireless broadband connection. It was so bad that it makes streamyx looks like the best ISP in the whole wide world! I was a little bit mad too, as i tried to use it a few times unsuccessfully. The connection is sub-crap. Means it's worse than crap! It's connected, but I can't surf at all. Lol...
so my sis did a check on maxis website once we manage to establish a good connection, and went into the FAQ section.
she read line by line and asked me to read, too to double confirm if what she read is correct or not. haha... check out the fifth questions -
yeah, no minimum contract period. period!
btw, my sis is going to the maxis center again to terminate the account, since they have 7 days cooling off period.

time to change...
hold your breath folks!
see what's in the star today -> plus sees drop in traffic volume. read the first two paragraphs...
KUALA LUMPUR: PLUS Expressways Bhd expects traffic volume to drop following the steep 41% hike in petrol prices but believes this is only temporary before drivers get used to the higher prices.
The toll road concessionaire is also on the lookout for new highways to build or acquire and feels that prospects for greenfield toll highways in Malaysia for the moment are limited.
(1) ...believes this is only temporary before drivers get used to the higher prices... so now we know what those in the circle think of us rakyat! they think we're just a bunch of dumbos who will sooner or later get used to stupid things like these! and will continue to pay thru our noses for these cronies! but who can't blame them? every time there is a price hike, we make some noises, do some street protest, tok some kok.... then we go back to our mundane life and live as if nothing has happened, and continue to let our country being turned into a family playground.(2) ...they are on the lookout for new highways to build... which translate into --> we're on the lookout for more ways to make more money from the people by building highways using taxpayers' money and then charge them for using the highway which was built using their money. and how stupid was i to think that providing these infrastructures to the public is the government responsibility. besides, we pay road tax also. oh... we also pay car's excise duty! then we need to pay toll also.... and an expensive fuel...
and the last three paragraphs...
Commenting on toll increases, Sheriff said PLUS was still being compensated by the Government for the scheduled toll increase of 10% that was to have taken place this year. The revision of toll prices by 10% is to take place every three years.
On the Government's review of toll concession agreements, he said the company had not been involved in any negotiations with the Government but had been giving the relevant information when asked.
“The Government has always honoured the concession agreements and I believe it will continue to do so,'' he said.
in my humble and noob's opinion, i think not only petronas should provide the public with a detailed accounts information, all these government linked companies should make their account public too!a 10% hike every three years, else government will compensate you! i wanna start a highway construction company too!

petrol increment... again
petrol increment - hot topic.
it'll will be on everyone lips... and blogs.
my take on this? it will be just like the old days - just like what patrick teoh says here...
...All the usual things that Malaysians love to talk about so much la. And as usual all we do is pretty much just talk. Then we go back to our mundane lives and try to deal with all the problems we talked about. Until the next time things become too much to bear. Then we gather round the pubs, mamak stalls, restaurants or under the coconut trees and talk some more...
i'm expecting all these feeling of unhappiness to last a little bit longer this time around. 78 cents is quite... wait... it's not quite... it is a very steep increment! darn...
on one hand, i agreed with the government move to float the petrol price, because subsidy is definitely not the long term solution in view that our oil resources will be depleted by 2014. the people need to be prepare when the time comes, which is less than 10 years and it is not a short time. the government should have a strategy to help the people cope with it.
imho, what most people is unhappy about is how our government spend the taxpayers money! one good example is the rm4.4 billion saved from the previous petrol increment. the government announced that the rm4.4 billion will be used to improve the public transportation.
well, initially we do see some new buses on the road. but what happened after that? anyone notice any improvement in our public transportation? let's not talk about big improvement, i guess you can even spot a minute improvement! where has all the money gone to? what are they gonna do this time around?
the rm625 rebate, given a chance, i would top it up and give it back to them.

kings of europ3
yes! finally, man utd is the kings of europe again!but something which is bothering me about the final is park ji sung omission from not only in the first eleven, but he is not even on the freaking bench!
who do we have on the bench? fletcher? omg. he should have been sold even before he turn professional. i somehow felt it is injustice that park did not play any parts at all in this final. afterall, he is one of the players who performed and helped the team to the final.
i am very sure that i am not the only one who felt the same. this question was everywhere before the match yesterday. everyone were asking, where is park ji sung? why is he not even on the bench? i'm not sure how park gonna take this, but i was a little bit put off by his omission!
coming back to the match, it's not a cracking match, but very very tightly contested by two teams with the meanest defence in the english premier league! i would say it is evenly contested with man utd dominating the first half and chelsea dominating the second half.
chelsea freaking lucky to get a goal on half time against the run of the game as man utd failed to convert 3 chances which fells to tevez and carrick. to those who think chelsea deserves to win, instead, well, what's the fcking point of having 25 shots on goal with only one shot on target, which is the one lampard scored? at least man utd got better accuracy with 5 shots on target from 13 shots on goal!
the penalty was really nerve-wrecking as my heart was pounding faster and faster. i admit that when ronaldo went up to take the penalty, i was suspecting a save from cech and i kinda thought that with all the ravings about ronaldo, he might be the one who will wreck man utd chances of lifting a third champions league trophy. true enough, his lamely-built-up penalty was saved.
any man utd fans will tell you that when john terry steps up to take the penalty, we thought chelsea had nicked it at the very last minute. well, perhaps fergie is right when he said that fate played a part in helping man utd triump in moscow.
park ji sung could have played a part in the final too... if not for favoritism.
