Our ISP sucks?

How true is this? I think this blogger is pretty much getting it right on how our isp really sucks!
I'm sure everyone has experience downloading stuffs, be it songs, movies, etc ... and sometimes ... no ... most times ... its really really slow! ur isp is controlling ur usage n speed people! don't be naive and think its all "unlimited" - ur time is unlimited but ur speed is limited.

Ever wonder why our telcos can charge us some 10cents or 15cents per minute when it can be alot less? If u have travelled to China, notice the locals have really long mobile numbers ... they are actually using VOIP. It's all over China, n cuts call costs alot, those who have experience this over skype will know how cheap it is to call international. Ever wonder why Malaysians aren't extensively using VOIP considering we have a young generation and everyone seems to own a mobilephone ... thanks to some policy to keep a few of our telcos alive, our telcos aren't much bothered by competition (international telcos have to jv with our local telcos to operate in good ole Msia). So we aren't getting the advanced services as fast as our counterparts, that's why other countries are moving at a much faster pace than us! While we are being drowned by 3G services - currently 3G services are so limited, which is probably outdated by the time it's fully implemented, telcos are sucking our money right under us. It's time to upgrade the infrastructure MAXIS CELCOM DIGI!

super rookie Lewis Hamilton!

Lewis - first black guy to win his first F1 grand prix race from pole position in just 6 races into the season in yesterday's Canadian Grand Prix which was filled with accidents and 4 safety cars. Robert Kubica was involved in a massive accident with his car turtling and landing on it's side, he suffered a broken leg. But the highlight of the race for me was Takuma Sato in a Super Aguri overtaking Fernando Alonso in a Mclaren! Sato overtook Alonso fair & square on the race track and finished 6th earning him 3 points. Lewis Hamilton now leads the championship, can he win the title?

So SMART the tunnel

Rain in KL is like icing on cake - very normal affair. One would expect floods to happen alot in the city, which is what happened a few years ago when a massive flood occured, most notably a tourist spot - Dataran Merdeka underground carpark was filled with water, causing damages in thousands of ringgit. The cause was said to be overflowing of riverbanks in the city area. So, being Malaysians, rectifying a problem means building something big/tall/deep! Hence, we have the SMART tunnel - Stormwater Management and Road Tunnel - a tunnel which supposedly prevents overspill of flood water from Sg Klang, Sg Ampang, Sg Gombak and ease motor traffic congestion preventing flooding in the city. The tunnel is almost complete and was open to the public for a month in mid May. Here comes the good part. Last Sunday evening, flash floods occured in KL and PJ areas - there were minor landslides and flooding because of blocked drainage causing massive traffic jams all over KL. Now, with SMART tunnel in use, you would think there was a solution in place for drivers in KL. Guessed what? Motorists who decided to use SMART tunnel was caught in a traffic jam for more than 1 hour because the SMART tunnel was flooded! Spending millions of ringgit to build a solution for KL motorists and this is the service we get?! What a waste of road taxes! Authorities explained that the SMART tunnel was designed for floods occuring from overflow of Sg Klang, Sg Ampang, Sg Gombak and does not cater for flash flood from drain blockage (which is what happened last Sunday). Gee, I thought a flood is a flood, there is a difference in types of flood? What's the purpose of spending millions of ringgit if it cant cater for all types of flood? Shouldn't they have done a thorough study of all types of flood that happens in KL before they build SMART tunnel? Samy please explain. Don't blame others like you did in the government building roof leaking issue. Maybe in future, kids will be sent to school just to answer questions so they don't sound dumb. Whilst hundreds of motorists were stuck in the tunnel, it was noticed that there were only 4 huge fans that ventilated the tunnel! This is definitely not up to international standard, without proper ventilation we could all suffocate and die in the SMART tunnel. Now this aint very smart is it. Samy what have you done with the tax payers money? Obviously someone has given some bad advice, someone is benefitting so much that they have cut costs (or they had to cut costs because the money has to be used to for the many layers in the government's system), someone is using innocent KL motorists as guinea pigs during this 1 month trial period of using the SMART tunnel. So the next time you think you're "smart" to use the SMART tunnel, think again. Malaysia boleh!

Shrek 3

Shrek the Third returns!
Yup, it's the kingdom of Far Far Away & that green ogre Shrek. The king frog dies in the most long winded way, choking on his own breath and giving the throne to Shrek who gives it to Artie (the princess' cousin from somewhere whose father left him - no link watsoever to the whole movie). There's a new character Merlin - manic, crazy wizard whose robe cant cover his skinny legs while his spell-casting side-effect is to swap Donkey and Puss In Boots' inner soul - Donkey is now Puss and Puss is now Donkey. Aihh! This 3rd edition isn't as funny as the first two, although there's still a few good laughs to look forward to. If you have time to spare and you like everything green, watch it ... otherwise "Go Go Away"!

M&M's has also launched their Ogre-Sized M&Ms. Yes, you guessed it ... it's GREEN! From the packaging it looks like its twice the size of a normal M&M. Hhmm ... i shall try it & let you know.
