Lousy Internet Service

People in Malaysia have to suffer with poor broadband service known widely as TMNet Streamyx..... For the past few days, I had difficulty trying to get my MSN online.... browsing pages takes forever! Its like as though I was back at dial-up...

Today.. it decided to die... resurrect... die.... resurrect.... die.... resurrect....

The internet connection just gotta be messed up at least once a month.... and that reminds me of some anti-streamyx adverts I saw.....

I decided to put some up on my blog! Hahaha!!!! If you like to put some, you can get it from http://www.streamyxsucks.com/

I have one on my right hand menu and one below. Looks pretty cool to me. ^_^

Shell Annual Dinner Food Pics

Hmph..... I made a post about how pathetic our Shell Annual Dinner was. Now it's time to show it to you! I skip the soup and the dessert. =)

This is the starter.....


And this..... is the main course, all of it...

Fuel Stretch Tips

This appeared on our Shell web....

Fuel Stretch tips

• Change gear in good time
• Drive smoothly - avoid hard acceleration
• Avoid sudden braking
• Make sure your tyres are properly inflated
• Avoid over revving your car
• Avoid carrying excess weight
• Switch off your engine when it's not in use
• Use your air-conditioning sparingly
• Keep your engine well-tuned and serviced
• Avoid high speeds
• Change your oil regularly
• Use a high quality motor oil - like Shell Helix
  

FYI, don't use Shell Helix. There are other high quality motor oil. =P

Bad Omen...?

To be honest, I'm never really a superstitious guy. But sometimes when things happen, can you really still treat is as merely a coincidence without thinking too deep into it? Hmph....

I stay in this apartment which requires us to renew our parking stickers in order to prove we're residence here. So yeah, my housemate went to renew it for me since I can hardly renew it. Their office hours is the same as my working hours..... LAME....... When I saw the sticker...... i got pretty much pissed.....


Okay, so whats wrong with the sticker. Nothing too wrong... Dates are correct, unit number is correct as well.... problem is..... VEHICLE NO. is NOT MINE.......... It doesn't even look like mine, not even half close! Only the first alphabet is correct, the rest is no where near nor even found on my plate!!!

Okay fine, check out the serial number............ Rings a bell? Yes? No? Anything funny????? Hmph...... Just in case some of you out there are blind (=P), the number reads 0666. Okay so whats with 0666? No idea? For the sake of those who don't know.... "666" represents the devils number....... So great, I've got something which represent the devils number..... But there's nothing much I can do about it, so, I stuck this on my car... try not to be too superstitious about it....... I stuck it on when I came back from work on Friday..... now lets see what happens.....

Friday night.... neighbours were making noises, but yeah well, that happens pretty often, so nothing surprising there ain't it.....

Saturday.... Got into my car..... press the button to unlock my car, and afterward got out, lock.... it was spoilt! My damn car can't lock with the remote control..... sigh... fine..... I'll just use my key to lock it and get it fix on my next service. So okay, came evening and for no reason, I just fell sick. Had terrible terrible flu... I couldn't stop sneezing, so I took some 2 pills of clarinese..... At night, was feeling very moody..... internet was crawling....... had a nightmare when I slept.....

Sunday.. hoping everything will be okay.... but well.... call came from T-Systems GEC helpdesk for a SmartCard issue.... Hello, who works on Sunday? Gosh...... Fine, but why call me for SmartCard? I'm not even the primary for SmartCard... I'm Client.... CLIENT...... Okay fine, its not too difficult for an engineer to do helpdesk job so I took the ticket and tried to escalate to the SmartCard Primary.... He couldn't VPN so fine, I'll resolve it myself. Good thing was it got resolved... phew...... And since I was already logged into the PC, i might as well take a peak in whats in my email... soo...... I got a meeting scheduled on Monday morning on Remote Access and VPN? Oh gosh..... I know nuts about that field.... but since theres no engineer there to take it on and I've been assigned... so what can I say? I'll go.... haha.......

Now that "666" is still bothering me..... I wonder if I should remove it, or am i just too overly superstitious about it? Sigh....... Just wondering what are the signs telling me... hmph........

Sweet Pics ^_^

Hehehe!! Check this picture out, my girlfriend edited it. ^_^

By the way, dont' ask me why I'm mostly on her right side when we take pictures. Kekeke!!! Just coincidental that 3/4 of this I'm on that side! =)

Malaysia Change in Service Tax Legislation

With effect from 1 July 2008, many restaurants located outside hotels, including food courts, are no longer subject to service tax. This is due to a change in legislation that requires only outlets with annual sales turnover exceeding RM3 million to collect service tax. Consequently, this can mean a 5% reduction in the cost of entertainment. Please check your bill to ensure that you are not being overcharged.
