I've Been Fooled-by-Maxis

*Delayed Post*


"MAXIS Broadband!! It's affordable for everyone.
Now at only RM58,you can surf the Internet whenever
you like,sign up now for MAXIS Broadband today."


-Wow!! So cheap!!

-Wait,I haven't tell the story...


08-08-2009,Mahkota was having PC fair. It was so
crowded although H1N1 is still flying around Melaka.
Besides that,there were lots of other promotion from
Celcom,Streamyx and Maxis.

Since I don't have any Internet line at home,the MC's
speech caught my attention. From as low as RM58,
I can get to activate a line for the Internet.OK then.


So after work,I walked into the Maxis centre nearby
my working place. I told a promoter that I wanted to get
a broadband and he explained -bla bla bla- to me.


So,the actual price was RM78. You'll get RM10 rebate if
you're using Maxis postpaid and another RM10 rebate for
using a credit card. Which means you only pay a RM58.
















BUT... I'm not using their postpaid,so no rebate.
BUT... I'm using a Debit card,so I got a RM10 rebate.
Plus the speed is 7.2Mbps.

Alright,I'm taking it.


-Cool!!

-No,not cool at all!!


They told me that the data download is 1.5G.
Which means the limit for me to download is just
1.5G,ok nevemind. Infact,I seldom download from
the Internet. I tried a week,everything was just fine.

However,

Yesterday I went home,and plug in my device to my
PC. The speed of 7.2Mbps as promised,gone...
Yet it only working at 56.75kbps... How slow...

So,

I brought it back to the Maxis centre,asking for
explanation. They explained to me that each time
we surf a web or download or even watching YouTube,
it is considered as a download process. And if we surf
Internet too often,the data will added and might more
than 1.5G. OMG! No wonder they cut down my speed.


But is it my fault?


-No...

-Yeah...no...


They should have told me that before I subscribed it.
Now I got to pay RM68 every month for a line that I
can't use in OFTEN.

Or else...

I have to pay RM200 upon discontinuation of this
LOUSY broadband service. WTF.


Hmm... Which one to choose?

Damn... I've Been Fooled-by-Maxis

Simple,Easy and Tasty Dishes

Dear readers,here's a delayed post that I should have posted it
earlier,but since my cousin's PC was sent for service,I have to
wait for more than two weeks before I get to touch the cyber
world again...Arr...suffer...


-Don't use so advanced words la...cyber konon...

-I mean internet and computer la...


Alright,this is a post about cooking lesson. The idea was actually
came from a friend of mine-DOTAGAKI DOMAIN-one of the
famous blogger!!!


In his blog,he showed lots of post about food stuff. From the
recipes to instructions and steps... He got it all. But you'll need
a tissue while viewing his blog... Ehem..ehem... For newbies...don't
need to buy any recipes books...



So...so...so... Since Dotagaki-a future teacher is able to cook,Tera
the future chef must show some recipes as well...


-Don't burn down your house sudah la...

-Choi! Burn your house la...


Then,during my day off 29th July(Wednesday),I took out my own
pan and wok... But unlike Dotagaki,Tera only cooked 3 simple,easy
and tasty dishes.

Alright,all these recipes are not the kind of high class,but...
what else could be better than sit down with the family and
have dinner together. Especially when all these dishes are
served with a bowl of hot white rice.
