I love Malaysia so much, so I do think that I have the right to be a lil upset. You should refer to my post http://life.izham-miyake.com/2009/10/aussie-firms-deterred-by-malaysias-slow.html which I put a newspaper link mentioning about a lot of Foreign Companies pulling out their investment, caused by our SLOW INTERNET!
More shocking! In China, they even have the 4 GB connection to home and they only pay RM60 equivalently. Confirmed by a friend who just went there last week.Isn't this good for expat who wanted to work from HOME?
Yes, we cannot compare to them in terms of density level but at least we should be at the same pace as they are now. 1MB compared to 1GB (like 1000x faster?), and running 1MB at a higher price (1GB@RM83 vs 1MB@RM99) is totally unacceptable.
Zid's comment/thought is a thought that will keep Malaysia left behind. Plus, the 1MB connection we pay is 'Best Effort' service, and I hope you guys understand what 'Best Effort' is, as mentioned in the Streamyx's SLA.
We keep comparing with the neighboring countries, but my question is, why should we compare to them as we claimed we are so much developed compared to them.
I tell you guys, Malaysia are so left behind at this point, compared to a few of our neighboring countries. Why? These are the facts:-
1. SG - 8Mbps - SGD65. ~ RM140
2. TH - 2 Mbps - THB1000 ~ RM100
3. PH - 12 Mbps - P5999 ~ RM432
SG can offer 8Mbps lower than the cheapest 4MB offer in Malaysia (RM160).
TH, which country is as big as Malaysia can offer, 2MBPs. almost the same price as our Streamyx RM99 1MB combo package. Not to mention what is the percentage of the availability Streamyx can offer?
PH, they can offer 12MBps?
Don't you think Malaysia should be at an UPPER level to PH/TH?
This is yet to compare with those in the UK. My sister is subscribing to a 10Mbps broadband, packaged with a phone line and TV cable, at a price of GBP5 ~ RM30 only.
My Brother in Russia, using a 8Mbps line paying for only RM70 a month. Russia is not densed as HK right?
If we keep giving EXCUSES on things, this 'TIDAK APA' attitude will get Malaysia left so behind in the next 10 years. Believe me guys.
The worst is, I've been applying land phone line for my house since July last year. Until today, my home is still not wired. Even SKMM gave me empty promises. Any of you guys can help?

1st April 2010
It's been a year in DHL APIS.
It has been great working in here even though I've not into working anymore but the job provides me adequate enough to carry on.
While in DHL APIS also, I was recruited into their very own band, ' The Undecided' and so far we've been having Gigs in several places including Singapore and Phuket, as the bassist, though. :P
It's been a year++ of my marriage as well. I'm pretty lousy at it but both of us are working our best on it. I'm still the same hot blooded person as usual but my patience (and passionful) wife is at best being the understanding and supporting woman for me.
I've just got a new car for my family to be. My Civic is just being unreliable and inconsistent lately. I was supposed to be driving my Civic to work tonight but warming it for at least 5 minutes didn't give me any sign that it's gonna work well for me tonight.
My mom has been not very well due to slip discs problem and my father keeps on seeking for every solution possible to help my mom to relief the pain.
My sister, Fadhlina is now in UK doing her phd. My other sister, Faizah, to my surprise had won the Malaysian Bronze Medal for her Master thesis, which for me is a superb accomplishment ever! I managed to congratulates her as I got home from Seremban prior to this moment but as usual, and I hope she knew how proud I am being her brother.
And she's getting married on the 1st May as well.
Expect me to be more active for the next few months. I have been limited to Internet XS for the past 2 years and my new house will only be equipped with PSTN line in the next few months, 2 or 3. That's what SKMM told me in their email.
I'm now starting to feel lucky again.
DO you feel lucky punk?

Full tummy with empty minded
For the past few weeks, there were so many things had been going on and a lot of things are gonna change for good.
People have been hard but luckily life is not as sucks as what other people might have thought of. I gained weight as a result of totally not exercising even though attempts were made to play badminton, last few weeks back, but the shift pattern of my job makes it hard on me.
There are also futsal session arranged by the mates in the office but again the shift pattern disallow me to join them whenever they have it held, just in front o my office.
Unless I got the guts to leave my desk and shut my mobile off and ready to get tonnes of warnings the next day on.
These, are plus my laziness as well. A tiring day at work (which normally a day with not so much of work, of which I would normally youtubing or facebooking for most of the time) causing me to be helplessly lazy to move around, even to go out to eat, but making your own maggi at the kitchen is one bad thing that I must stop doing it, especially late night, and when I'm alone.
The fact that my wife is away would help me to reduce my consumption of food is neverthelessly false.
I should from now on start to read for more. The amount of my brain nerves responding time towards my search request for wording/vocabulary, either in English or Malay is worrying. For most of the time, the words uttered from my mouth are actally the result of immediate biological response of my body; instead of actually my brain should do the thinking before saying things out.
As for example, a helpdesk operator were telling me he's gonna make the call I was asking for, of which I should have said "Thank You" or "I will hold on the line".
I stupidly replied with "Yes, HOLD ON" (You may start laugh now)
These phenomenon had numerously causing me problem with people, and it was worse when I was mad at something. I didn't totally freaked out but sometimes it hurts other people feeling.
One good thing to do is not to accumulate your anger inside your mind, as for I can conclude today, your tummy would need to balance it off; by making you eating more.
This may have been the stupidest conclusion afterall but I need to tell myself something and act upon it.
My waist is already 36 for the record. :(
