In loving memory of my beloved wife

There is another PC fair in town. I went there for some fun as I was interested to tease those Telco broadband promoter. At the entrance, there was this Green, Yellow, Blue, Orange and Purple, namely Maxis, Digi, Celcom, Streamyx and P1Wimax.

I approached the Digi first. I asked for the latest offer. Well, it was 10GB for RM50 monthly for first 6months and RM108 at month-25. Upon cancellation another charge of RM90 as for modem. I teased for the speed and yet the promoters tried to demo as they claimed can assess up to 1.5Mbps. The speed was not too great as the demo only up to 500kbps.

Next I asked the Maxis. The deal is less attractive. RM48 with only 1.5GB storage. I walked to the celcom and they informed me RM68 for 3GB download only. I did not approach streamyx and P1 as these are the two I would want to avoid due to their lack of portability.

At the end, I still conclude the speed is still too slow to claim as broadband if the speed indeed still less than 1M. Our neighbour already in the usage of >4M and yet we are promoting the broadband of 1M...

When can I have 10Mbps and I will be willingly paying RM100 per month.

It was Saturday night after the elder and I came out from the games shop. As the committed promise to the elder, I bought a brand new NDSL for him. After waited for nearly half an hour (due to games copying), we finally stepped out from the shop. I turned on the DSL to test the set while walking to meet the little at a nearby bookshop. Upon at the entrance, while I was still staring at the screen, I heard a stumble noise. It was an old lady slipped and fell down on the floor. I did not response but I could hear perhaps her daughter complain the way the old lady walk and fall.It was so sad to hear such comment instead of comforting the lady or giving concern to her. She raised the old lady while I stood watching pretending staring on the screen. But I was not giving an offer hand. I am indeed really sorry. I walked away soon. I always timid in such incident although I did feel bad about my own self for being selfish. But I swore that I felt deeply sad both to the daughter for commenting such words to the fell old lady and also myself for being nailed on the ground without a helping hand although the incident happen not farther than 20 yards away. I am sorry. I should have the courage to give a hand. I promise I will be more helpful...
I am sorry. I do
Later, while walking to the car park, I slipped and almost fell to the ground while passing on some patches of water on floor. I believed this is the punishment to me for not being thoughtful and helpful. I am sorry!

The arrival of ipad immediately forced us to abandon everything on hands but to pray for a hand on experience. It was really an amazing gadget for internet and eyes catching. The size is just right for relaxing feel of web browsing. Even the gaming experience is so cool. Ipad only deserved three words...wow wow wow!
I hope my order could arrived sooner.... counting...

I have been eyeing on the recent Apple gadget, Ipad and had been seeking assistant favor from co-workers at State to acquire one for me. I was hesitate to wait for the 3G model but would settle for Ipad-Wifi.

It was then two days ago, I spotted two Ipad-wifi for sale at online deal. And the price is fairly attractive at RM2050 for the 32GB model. I called the person for a COD and he replied that he was at Pengkalan Hulu. In my memory, I remembered hearing this location and that time it was an Iphone deal. I was mistaken for Pengkalan at Ipoh.

I voiced my interests to complete the deal COD at Ipoh but the person claimed could not as someone else is driving to his location at night (some three hours by then) for the item. I said then sell me the other one since he had two on hand then. He said he had already shipped out the item. It really meant he had sold out the two ipads on his hand and so I hang the phone. I called a friend of mine who is also another gadget-kaki about this. He rang me 15 minutes later that he also called the person but was informed too that the ipad had been sold out.

When I arrived at home some 2 hours later, the friend called and informed that there is another progressing story...

The seller now claimed the buyer (who was an indian) who drove to meet him only offer him RM1k for the ipad and so the seller rejected. The seller called my friend if he would like to complete the deal. My friend asked if these are cloned ipad. The seller denied by alleging that these were ipads bought in Singapore by his boss. Although I could be wrong but I do not think Ipad had been launched elsewhere except US?? The seller further wanted to trick my friend that claiming he could deposit half to his account and he would ship the ipad. Only upon the receive of the ipad, then the full sum would need to be paid. My friend rejected. The seller continued to push that he could ship the ipad to my friend then only complete the payment.

I could not believe what is the "seller" trying to do here. With an Ipad, one does not need to push for sale, especially for a price of RM2050. It would be immediately grabbed should the seller really have the items.

It was clearly a plot to trick buyer. It was already three days and there is no arrival of Ipad but of course I repeatedly insisted my friend do not deal in such a manner. The ads still available at here http://www.mudah.my/Apple+ipad+32gb+wifi-5809353.htm?last=1. No matter what please do not fall in the plot. If you are the seller who are genuine, call me right away and I buy all of your available ipad.

LOL

I had been in small scale online trading with either COD (cash on delivery) or courier service as early as back to 1996. It would be more than 14 years by now. Last night, a friend of mine shared his latest COD scam to me. It was really fortunate for him to have safe guarded his intended to be sold luxurious watches. But I believed the best part of it would be he managed to escaped from a possible nightmare that could haunt him days and nights.

The story began in this way...

Not so long ago (almost all story started like this... my little also asked me why?) my friend posted ads for luxurious watches for sale in Mudah (www.mudah.my) and he had been enjoying with some small profit by the buy-sell treating. It was only last afternoon when he received sms informing him that there was interests to complete the deal with COD. The watch priced at RM1x,xxx. My friend signaled the buyer that there is another watch for RM2x,xxx. To surprise, the buyer accepted and informed my friend for a location to complete the deal. It was at the hotel Heritage. And so, my friend with accompany with another guy arrived at the lobby and met another friend of mine who was also pending a COD deal (Handphone that priced at RM16xx) with the same buyer. And so they called the buyer. The buyer informed my friend that he is just the personal assistant to a dato (Dato is a honourous title for someone who mostly resembled rich, since with connection with government etc.) The PA claimed the dato wanted to complete the deal in his room for privacy manner.My friends started to be suspicious and cautious that they insist to complete the COD at the lobby instead of going inside a private room. It was then the dato replied that to meet at another private function room at the hotel. And so my friends rejected and left.

When we met at bar, he told me of this incident and immediately we agreed that this was a setup. We believed that as soon as my friends stepped inside the room, they would have been surrounded by a group of weapons armed guys to demand for the watches and items. It would be like planned robbery. What could worst could be that my friends would be photographed and ransomed from a sum of money etc. We also concluded that a dato could not require to buy luxurious watches from Mudah.com. It was an amazing trick of setup.

Well, let's be extra cautious whenever we are dealing for luxurious items in whatever manner. They are people watching.

It was last night that I noticed the little one has new tooth emerging even thought his front teeth have not been plucked yet. I convinced him to have a visit to the dentist the next day and promised him that it would not be painful. He was getting nervous when his elder brother told him more of his experience. I was so sorry seeing him feeling nervous of the coming incident.

It was also that night, I had a bad dream that the dentist plucked off his teeth without careful examination and without local anesthetic. I saw the little one with mouthful of blood and crying crazy. It was then I awaken by the bad dream. I could not remember I ever dream of such event before, but I believed I need to accompany him and support him.

Monday was supposedly an off day for me as I was attending the hearing of the wealth management and assigntment. It was only the first and last hearing after almost two years. I believed I should have awarded the letter of administration soon enough and have the right properties be transferred to our kids. Yet, before I was awarded the order, I needed to settle RM710 for fees and another 2% charges. Soo King, you have all of them covered without requiring me paying any payment. You are thoughtful.

It was already late 11am before I went for another task... Paying the quit rent. I never did this as I did not receive any notice...but the location of the land office really annoy me as it is located inside an isolated village and the journey took me at least 20 minutes.

My sister called telling me that Wilson has not been ready for the dentist yet as he was asleep when trying to fetch him for the dental visit. I believed this was the sight that the little one wanted me to accompany him for the first dental visit. And so I did. I was really nervous while he was playful and yet confident. I was restless while he was sitting calmly and smiling at the bench. It was not an easy session as my heart sank when saw him opening his mouth for examination... oouch... I moved aside without having eyes contact to Wilson but giving him assurance of confidence with my shivering voice. It was suffering for the 10 minutes process and I felt so thankful when seeing the tooth being pulled out and he was biting the cotton buds with smiles to me. What a relief! And I believed I failed. Son, I am sorry!

I knew if you were here, you would have having eyes contact with the kids and standing at front of him supporting him for his first dental treatment. I am sorry, kid!
