I am not surprised to find a lot of complaints written on the blogs about Streamyx. One of the unhappy customer write about his experience with Streamyx, TMnet and whoever relates to it in his blog, blog.kavilan.com. Very emotional person (aku rase la). Btw, some of his words are very offensive and may not suitable for some people (I’ve warned you).

And the complaints did not stop there..

In another blog, paulooi.com, Paul writes about his experience with Streamyx Customer Services. Full of hopes and promises.. It is funny to read about his story, but after putting myself at his place, hangin la jugak kan.

Then, I tried to find the solution to this problem by using Google. Luckily, this post came out in the search results - 3 steps to restore a broadband (Streamyx) connection. Honestly, I haven’t tried them as I didn’t faced the problem (yet!). But, I’ve played with the first method, which is pinging your default getaway. It is really cool to see lots of numbers on the screen although I hardly understand what the numbers mean. Hehehe.

Anyway, I found some other ISPs which may suit your interest. Check them out here. And don’t forget to share your thought about Streamyx in the comments area. Cheers

“Solat is the best form of self discipline”

(Raja, 2008)

During my study, my self discipline was really terrible (org melayu cakap - malas). I always skipped classes until some of my friends didn’t notice that I was one of their classmate! Some people says Malay people are born like that (lazy). I used to have that thought too. Ataupun mungkin aku terpengaruh dgn Najib. Hahaha (Sorry bro).

Luckily, I managed to get my first degree

After my study, I always dreaming to be a millionaire. I make a lot of reading about personal financial management (for your information, my hobby is reading). Then one day, I stumble upon this article which is written by Andreas Bard. It was about self discipline and how to improve it. As I mention in the previous post, self discipline is very important aspect if you want to be a millionaire.

Therefore, I think these 5 steps on how to improve your self discipline are really precious and should be shared here:

1. Be responsible - Know that you have to finish a job/assignment given to you (Jangan tiru ye adik2).
2. Set your target - Define your goal. For example, what do you want to achieve from the job given?
3. Be cool - Don’t freak out! There is always a way out from your problems.
4. Set the time frame - Plan your work carefully and stick to it.
5. Avoid distraction

After reading his article, I noticed one thing; I actually have a good time management skills as I managed to do my job in the time given. Hohoho hebat2!. But, my self disciple needs a major reconstruction as I am a last-minute person; which is not a good attitude.

I hope we can learn something from this post. All comments are appreciated. Wish me luck on my journey to become a Millionaire

Okay, let’s talk about the book. In this book, he tells that by just staying as an employee can make you a millionaire! That is a really interesting stuff to know! But of course, there are some steps that you should follow (which are so simple).

I can’t reveal much about the content of this book as I have to respect his intellectual property. So, I just want to summarize some of the key points that I’ve learned from the book.

To be a millionaire, the top 2 conditions are:-

1. self-discipline
2. honesty

I will elaborate more about these 2 things in the next few posts. As for today’s advice, remember to save some of your money for future needs. Maybe you will be the next millionaire. Who knows?

Anyway, I said to them I’m still looking for a better offer. If they can meet my demand, why should I stay at my current company. Right?

For me, the answer can be both right and wrong. This is because, I believe working is more than just for money. I was a student before and I know it is hard to study if I do it just to achieve a good grade. Same goes here.

I like to do a job that gives me satisfaction; meaning something that I really love to do. I don’t want to stuck in a job that makes me unhappy everyday.

In addition, after reading this post, I realised that I will meet and work with a lot of people with different backgrounds and personalities. And I have to fit in the community really well if I want to succeed.

So, maybe I will consider a new job in near future if:

1. the new job suits my preferences, and
2. the working environment is better than the present job, and
3. of course, it pays more

I was shocked to find that some minister appointed by Pak Lah was not a candidate in the previous General Election. There are also some people who were lost in the election but still appear in the cabinet list.

Maybe Pak Lah has his own agenda to make this country a better place to live in; like his famous motto, Selamat, Aman, Makmur (meaning Safe, Peaceful, Prosperous).

Anyway, these are the 11 tips on how to survive in Malaysia’s hot climate:-

1. Wear bright colour shirt
2. Wear sandals
3. Drink plenty of water
4. Seek shades during a hot day (and rainy days as Malaysia receives lots of rain)
5. Make yourself comfortable in an air-conditioned building
6. Shopping (all malls have air-cond)
7. Wear torn trousers (the holes function as air-intakes)
8. Ride a bike instead of car to get the maximum breeze
9. Sleep during the day (night time is colder)
10. Be positive (say to yourself “i’m freezing!”)
11. Naked (not recommended)

If you have a better solutions, feel free to submit them in the comments area. Cheers!

Sales engineers sell and consult on technologically and scientifically advanced products. They should possess extensive knowledge of these products, including their components and processes. Sales engineers then use their technical skills to demonstrate to potential customers how and why the products or services they are selling would suit the customer better than competitors’ products. (http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos123.htm)

Hurm.. From the description above, its not easy to be a sales engineer. But, we have to start somewhere right? So, I guess I’ll try my best and see how it goes

During the wedding, I noticed something that are quite interesting to share here.

1. Karaoke
   It is usual to hear loud music at the wedding ceremony, but karaoke? Hurm.. The interesting fact is, the organizer (parents) rent the equipments, radio, speakers etc. along with the singers. That is a good marketing strategy!
2. Toll
   This is a new experience for me. The bridegroom has to pay the toll (actually tolls!!) before sit next to his bride. I heard it costs about RM50 per toll (minimum) and there are at least 4 tolls in a normal wedding ceremony.

With the increasing toll rate at Malaysia’s highways, it is possible for the wedding toll rate to increase too. You reckon?
