Renewing Passports

We went to Pusat Bandar Damansara to renew our passports. It was fast with the aid of the renewal kiosks. Once done, we went to McDonald's for a break while waiting to collect the new passports.

Clocking Out From Giant

Today is my last day working with Giant. Eight years of wonderful memories, working alongside many remarkable people. THANK YOU, GIANT! Farewell to you.

Jason's New Haircut

Cute looking, eh? I kinda like it.

Pony Ride at Giant PH

This weekend, we're doing a pony ride for customers of Giant Putra Heights.

Day Out at Mid Valley

Went shopping this morning. Kids very naughty, only stopped being rascals on a kiddie ride.

Haze Really Bad

Visibility low. Can even smell it indoors. This is BAD.

The Haze Is Back

The haze has made a comeback lately, can hardly see KL Tower clearly. Weather has worsened.

Happy Dumpling Day

Chinese legend has it that on the fifth day of the fifth month in Chinese calendar, the earth's gravity pull is strong enough to make eggs stand upright on its own. Hmm... Happy Dumpling Day.

My New Broadband

Having complained about P1 previously, I decided that it's actually the lesser evil compared to Maxis. I absolutely hated the recent throttle exercise done by Maxis, after having used it to more than a year. It was great going back then but now, it's a sad case of slow being slower.

I signed up for P1 Wimax (AGAIN) and this round, I guess I'll be sticking by to it longer. This round, the modem actually came with a wifi dongle to enable users to surf wirelessly within the confines of their home. COOL!

Oh, the fact that they have a fair usage policy limit of 20GB helps a lot in my decision to abandon Maxis. Days with slow speed and non-downloads begone!

Broadband Rants

I may not be a smoker but I think I know how it feels to be going through a cold turkey phase. Yup, I'm addicted to high speed broadband.

I used to be proud of my Maxis Broadband connection which gave me the ability to download stuff at the speed of sound... okay, not exactly that fast but at a 'decent' speed of approx. 200 KBps. Sadly, those days are far and few between now.

The DL speed for the past two weeks has been agonizingly SLOW, crawling at a pathetic rate of 7-8 KBps only. I tried calling Maxis about it but sadly they can't seem to do much about it. And here I am, paying RM99 for such services. Sad, really sad.

Any chance of jumping to the other side(s)? Not likely. I tried P1 Wimax for 10 days; not exactly what it was touted to be. Cousin Mark said Izzi; easy for him to say, not my cup of tea though. My colleague Rafi said Digi; yes, I'm a loyal Digi phone user but too bad the broadband coverage has been slow to spread out. Let's not even get started on Streamyx, if you know what I mean.

So where does that leave me with? Nowhere for now, just gotta pray that Maxis buck up soon or I'm seriously gonna start looking elsewhere.

Post Earth Hour

Lights back as usual

Earth Hour II

Okay, I joined in too with the living room lights off. Julia was scared though, so it didn't last the whole hour.

Earth Hour

KLCC and KL Tower has gone lights off in support of Earth Hour.

Clamped!

This is what happens when some clown wrongfully parks at our designated bay in the apartment's parking lots.

KL Night view

A scenic night view from the apartment's balcony.

A night at Kenanga Point

We're spending a night at dad's apartment to get a feel of high-rise living.

Julia Unhappy

Julia wasn't happy because I wouldn't allow her to have ice-cream. See her pouty lips.
