...

Everything seem to be moving slowly today. I finished my Final Year Project  (FYP) presentation yesterday, and had a solid 12 hours of sleep. I guess I had to make up for those sleepless nights (literally no sleep) troubleshooting my circuit and program.

Well now that I'm awake, I suddenly feel no pressure at all. Unlike the last couple of days were I was at the verge of giving up. Thank fully, I had Michelle and Vincent whose support and help gave me some strength  to  pull through the stressful period. OPS... and also the Big Guy upstairs =]

For now, The storm has pass and the sea is calm. There will be another storm coming up next week with the arrival of my final of all final exams.

I'm sipping milo in front of the PC right now; spending some time with myself, and reorganizing things. Hopefully I'll be able to cope better with what's coming next week.

Broadband

I was having problems with my internet connection for the past 3 weeks. I had to go over to my friends place to use the internet and it was quite bothersome in the sense I had to travel there and back which took time and energy. TM has been super slow in trying to repair my line and I gave up waiting. The reason for not having any connection according to TM is that they are doing a migration from the old system to a newer one to make their internet faster. In other words, upgrading. In total, I've spent nearly a day waiting on the line for them to transfer me from one department to another and to top it off, no one knew anything. For me to pay RM110 a month and get this kind of shitty service, it's not worth it.

Having had enough of TM and PC fair being held this week, I thought why not go checkout the broadband deals that are being offered. So right after church yesterday, I dropped by at KLCC and started asking MAXIS. They have a free 7 day trial after which if you're not satisfied, you just return your modem and get back your activation fee of RM100. I mean for me it was 'Why not? Try for 7 days oni ma'. If after the 7 days trail period I decide I want to continue to use their service, then, I am bonded for 6 months. In the event I decide to terminate the service within the 6 months, then I need to buy up the modem of RM100. Else, the modem is mine to keep.

The real deal however was at DIGI. They have this 'DISCOVER PLAN' that offers RM38 for a quota of 3GB. For the same quota, MAXIS is offering for RM 68.If you want a higher package, the DIGI offers RM108 for a 10GB quota. Sign up within these 3 days of PC fair, and you get RM30 rebate for 12 months; so you only pay RM78 for the first year. All you need to do is pay RM50 advance payment plus the buying of the modem of RM80 and you are ready to use. No activation fee, no other commitment. You can terminate the line anytime you want and you don't have to pay anything. On top of that, the modem is yours to keep. I took the 3GB because I only have 1-2 months more before I graduate.

I'm testing the MAXIS broadband and I have already been disconnected twice, but overall, I am pleased with what I am experiencing. Well I have 7days to try it out. DIGI on the other hand while I was using it seem a little more stable. Then again, maybe its too soon to come up with a conclusion.

Having sign up for the broadband, I can now say BYE BYE to TM. Thank you for 2 years of shitty service which occurs every 3-4 months. Thank you for wasting my time.

No more messy LAN wires too =)

I am now the proud owner of 2 DIGI phone lines and 1 DIGI broadband =D
DIGI, ALWAYS THE SMARTER CHOICE!! LOL

Not Good

It's been awhile since my last entry. Florence has already left for Australia, I bought a new Gundam toy, sat for 3 mid-term test last week, just finished my lab report and will be handed in later today, and I'm feeling soooo damn fucked up.

I've been down and out mentally and emotionally for the past couple of weeks and the reason is simple I don't know what the heck I am doing in my work(studies) and labs. I feel lost; stressed up and see no road to my problems. I guess every student faces this kinda stuff once in awhile huh...

I've been preparing for one of my test since my semester started. Even bofore my test I did all the tutorials, and was damn sure I would get it right this time. But while I was doing the test, I got carried away and did a little more than was required. Now the thing is I might not get any marks at all even though I did extra because the argument is that I did not understood the question =( it has been bugging me till now and doing the lab report just now, I have not a clue on if what I'm doing is right. I read books, online research to find answers and complete the report but I really really not sure if what I wrote is the right thing. You know, sometimes when you do something, you get a feeling or you just know you are right. This time while doing the report, I got nothing. NO strong gut feeling to say It's the right one. In fact, I'm worried sick that I'll flung this lab report.

I'm really messed up like this kite string


See how shitty it is? That's what's inside me me now. How to sort it out? I have not the slightest clue. If you got an advice for me, I'd appreciate it. Thanks =)
