Hello!

It has been a LONG time since my last blog post update!

If you didn’t know, since I’ve been back in my hometown, I’ve been using my Blackberry phone as my modem to connect to internet. What it does is just freeze/hang my laptop after 5 minutes of connection everytime. If I”m lucky, I get half a day before it hangs my laptop. Also, if I’m lucky, I’d get connected to my broadband once in a while. It sucks that the line is broken and I couldn’t fully connect to internet using my broadband.

I’ve been going crazy. With no internet, and constantly having to force reboot my laptop like 5-10 times everytime I try to use internet, I finally lost my patience. I got into a huge fight with my mom. Either I get a new internet, or a new phone line. You see, the old phone line has been terminated, but you can still connect to broadband (Streamyx aka shitmyx).. but I can’t make any report for the telecom technicians to come and fix it because the line is no longer active. I’d also be in deep shit because I’m not supposed to use my KL broadband here in my hometown.

I’ve been thinking of getting those portable wifi connections etc with no contracts. None satisfies me. Everything has QUOTA and I hate bandwidth throttling. I’m a heavy internet user, so having a 3GB or 5GB bandwidth limit a month is ridiculous. I’d use up the quota in 3 days. Now, the only option that seems good is P1 Wimax. No contract, and bigger quota (10GB+), and faster speed (1.2Mbps as opposed to 384kbps for others). But geez I’ve read so many horror stories, I freaked out. I still want my shitmyx.

So at last, the only solution is to get a new phone line. Mom didn’t want it at first… hence the huge fight but after clearing the matter again with the telecom people, turns out, it CAN be done, and it doesn’t cost that much. Having new line would also mean, NO SHITMYX ACCOUNT. The first time we went to telecom, the guy told me, the cheapest account for RM68 (only at 512 kbps), and new shitmyx account + new phone line = RM400-RM500++.. WTF. Plus it’ll take 2 weeks.. WTF!

That’s another problem. I already have a shitmyx broadband account in KL with 1 Mbps speed… what’s the point of having to pay double monthly (RM99x2) when I could just use my KL internet here, if only the phone line is shitmyx activated. If I have to pay that double, might as well get UniFI for 5 Mbps connection! Then, hallelujah, I found my savior which I didn’t know existed. Shitmyx for RM20…! Should have read the shitmyx website first. Now, RM20 plan only have 10 hours broadband connection and after that, they charge you 5 cent per minute. Mom was quite worried about that, but I told her, the trick is just to get the line shitmyx activated, then I can use my KL account. It’ll save me RM79 for 12 months (since it has 1 year contract)! :D

So yeah.. last weekend, the technicians finally came to install my new phone line :D But my shitmyx wasn’t activated until Tuesday (3 days ago). I suddenly saw my modem’s light on, and it says I’m connected to local connection! So that means the port is ready… however since my shitmyx account hasn’t been activated yet I couldn’t connect… I called them… the operator took a long time.. and told me the account would be auto activated in 7 days.. so I have to wait until Thursday (yesterday). Just minutes after I hung up the phone, MY SHITMYX IS ACTIVATED! I was fucking surprised and fucking happy. :D MY LIFE IS NO LONGER EMPTY WITHOUT INTERNET!

And now I will always have internet when I come back to my hometown :D

I would never thought that I would be so happy to be connected to SHITMYX but right now, from all the frustrations I had with my phone modem, feeling so outdated, bored etc I could kneel down and praise shitmyx. Even thought it’s shit, it’s still far better than other broadband options, and best of all, no limit!

Oh I have so much to blog about.. so yeah, wait for the blog spams within this few days. :P However, my health since I’ve been back here has been declining.. I don’t know why.. I’ve been getting sick a lot.. now I’m suffering with bad toothache.. that fucking wisdom tooth.. and my chest hurts. I need to see a doctor and the dentist :( I hope it’s not side effects from my weight loss pills… nah can’t be. However I do think that I’m starting to gain back my weight now wtf. I need to be fully healthy again so I can start exercising… >.<

Okay, time to get some sleep… 5 am now.. urgh need to get back my sleeping pattern. YAY FOR INTERNET!
