Anyway, set your goal for this year and don’t forget to set a goal in your life. Happy New Year!
To all my Muslim Brothers & Sisters,
‘
It starts bad for some of our muslims brothers and sisters. I hope all of us can pray for their safety and may there is peace on their land in the future.
After painting some part of the house in the morning. I’ve got nothing to do at home.
My wife suggested that we go to Sunway Pyramid because there is an event from Cadbury, “Cadbury: Malaysia’s Best-Loved Chocolate Carnival”. It is held for 2 days, Saturday and Sunday.
We went there just for the fun of it.
There are a lot of activities but I didn’t join any of it as I’m not in the mood for it.
My wife was just waiting for the clown to make something out of the balloon for my son. And yes, after waiting there for quite some time, the clown at last make a poodle for my son. Hahaha.
It was a great event or carnival.
Below is some of the pictures taken during the carnival.
After that we all ‘jalan-jalan’ inside Sunway Pyramid to see what they have in the new wings. A lot of changes compared to last time. Bought some ice-cream that my son insist to try some. You can tell from the pictures below.
He really likes the ice-cream. After that we went to Subang Parade but I parked my car at Carrefour (don’t ask why). Went to Uncle Lim’s and bought Laksa for my mother-in-law and also ‘jalan-jalan’ around there. Because of the clown, my wife bought the balloon and pump set at the RM5 shop in Carrefour. She want to try her skill in making shapes with the balloons.
Went back home and take a look what happens.
It was a nice weekend.

As I’ve mentioned on my previous post that I’ve subscribe to iZZi Wireless Broadband, so this post is the review of the service.
Let me start my review with how it all started at PC Fair II 2008.
It’s all started at Pikom PC Fair II 2008, where I went there to buy a thumbdrive, check out the latest technology and latest offer for Wireless Broadband services as I really wanted to have an Internet connection without the hassle to subscribe to a land line. At the end, I end up at the last hall of the PC Fair and at the end there was a group of wireless broadband service providers and Streamyx booth as well.
After listening to the explanation of the promoter, I’ve decided to subscribe to iZZi. The key point that makes me subscribe to iZZi is because the promoter told me that their station is very close to my housing area and the station covered an area of 13km radius. So for me that is a very big coverage. The station is in Pandamaran and I’m staying in Pandamaran Jaya, Pelabuhan Klang. The other point is that the other service providers have a limit of 3GB file transfer in a month as for iZZi, she said it is unlimited.
As I didn’t bring so much cash, I paid a deposit of RM50 and return back to PC Fair with my wife, my son and my brothers on the next day (2nd August 08).
I took iZZiyou6 package that cost me RM699 (need to pay upfront).
I can’t wait to test it out right after I got back home.
I just need to insert the installation CD that will install the driver and application software. It is very simple to install it. Then I just need to plug in the modem using the USB port. Windows will detect the device straight away.
Below is the pictures of the modem and installation CD:
The signal strength is around 20 to 40 percent but most of the time it will be at 30%. I keyed in the temporary username and password that they provide to activate my account on the web and I’m connected to the wireless broadband. It was really slow when I tried to register the iZZi account. It took me more than 40 minutes to complete the online registration as the connection keep on disconnecting and I need to re-submit the form a few times. I’m a bit frustrated at that time but I’m telling myself that it might be for a short while.
I disconnected the temporary ID and use my own username and password. All of a sudden it became faster than before. The signal strength is still the same but the speed is a lot better. To tell you how fast is the speed, just imagine opening a Google.com page takes you up to 4 to 5 minutes. Just imagine that! To make myself happy I’m blaming the Internet Explorer, so I downloaded Mozilla Firefox.
After installing Firefox the speed is still the same. I’ve managed to call the sales promoter and she said that I need to put the modem close to the window as it cannot get a good signal if there is any blockage. For me that is ridiculous as why we need to move our PC close to the window just to get a good signal. The device was supposed to be mobile, so it should be able to get a good signal anywhere.
Once in a while the broadband speed increases and I managed to download my AVG AntiVirus updates and Mozilla Firefox after leaving my computer to run for quite sometime.
I still testing it after a few days. I took it to my parents house in Kampung Raja Uda, Pelabuhan Klang and my parent in-laws’ house in Pandamaran, still the signal is either very weak or there is no signal at all.
For 1 to 2 days I was able to use the service in low speed. On the fourth and fifth day, I tested out the connection after work and there is no connection at all. That is the main reason I want to get a refund.
I text messaged the sales promoter to return the modem and she told me that I need to return the modem at Menara Olympia, Kuala Lumpur in order to get the refund. The office is open only on weekdays and on office hour. Luckily that I’m working in Kuala Lumpur and my employer is good enough to give me a release time for this purpose I managed to go there. Just imagine you’re not working in KL, I bet that you need to take at least a half day leave just to make the refund.
The refund process is very simple. The person in-charge will come and you need to answer a few questions and they will give a copy of the form to you as a reference. She told me that they will charge me if I use more than 3MB of data transfer. I was shock as the promoter didn’t tell me about it. To me, “Whatever…” as long as I get my money back. She told me that it will take around 1 month for them to process the refund and they need to check my Internet usage as they will charge me if it is more that 3MB.
After a month, I started to call them as there is no call from their side for my refund status. The first time I called, the person told me he cannot find my name in the system. I was a bit tampered at that time. Anyway, I asked him to check it for me and call me immediately after they manage to find my name or what is my refund status. There is no call and I called them back a few days after that. Then they told me that they just started to process the refund and it will take a few more weeks.
Just imagine that. You need to pay up-front immediately for the service and they need to take nearly 2 months to process your refund.
Anyway, to cut it short. After a few calls and few weeks, I managed to get the refund on 26 September 08.

Malaysia’s Independence Day (Hari Kemerdekaan), the last day of August 2008 is the also the last day of Eye On Malaysia will be at Titiwangsa Lake Gardens. Next is will be in Melaka.
We were supposed to go to Dataran Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur that morning, but we have to cancel it.
So we decided to go to Titiwangsa Lake Gardens as we always talking about going to take a ride on the Eye On Malaysia and it is the last day it will be there.
I asked the security personnel there whether I can bring my child along and he said it is fine. So we decide to take the ride.
It is RM15 adult and RM8 for child (under 12 years old is FREE).
The ride is roughly around 12 minutes. It is kind of bored after a few minutes but anyway, it is a nice view up there. From below, you can still see a very good view of the surrounding (you can see it from the gallery below). It was a good experience and I would love to take a ride on it again, but maybe in Melaka after this.
Below is the picture gallery of my family at Eye On Malaysia.
Here is a short video on how it is looked like in the gondolas.
The video below have a better overall view of “Eye On Malaysia”:
Before I end the post, here are some fact that I’ve gathered about Eye On Malaysia:
What is your experience? Care to share it? Just write it under the comments.
Hello,
It’s nice to be able to start blogging again.
I have to take a break on Ramadhan because of the time constrain.
I don’t have much time to blog as the working time is shorten and I need to “Buka Puasa” with my family in Port. Klang and I don’t have any Internet connection at home yet…
Now I’m back on blogging again. For the coming post, I will blog about my experience for the past few weeks. Starting with my outing with my family at Eye On Malaysia. Check out my next post.
Yei! Eid ul-Fitr is back again…
I would like wish to all muslims:
and
To Malaysian who’s going back to your hometown / “kampung”, please be extra careful when driving back and don’t forget to lock your house before leaving (hehehe…)
Same as every year I’m not going anywhere much this “Hari Raya” because my hometown is where I live. So, everyday I’m back to my “kampung” lah. Even my parent in-law is here in Port. Klang.
Anyway, this opportunity I would like to seek for apologies and again wishing all of you happy and joyfull Eid ul-Fitr.
I was practically very busy because of the MATTA Fair and we have training and award dinner a few days ago, so since last week it was very pack. Because of the fasting month, I have very limited time to spend on blogging.
Anyway, I think it is not too late to wish to all Muslim:
Hope that we make the best out of this Ramadhan month for this year. For now I’m quite busy for the Hari Raya preperation as well because I just moved to a new house a few month ago and I’m barely at home. So, I need to tidy-up the house for the coming Eid.
For quite sometime I don’t have any Internet access at home. I’ve been accessing the Internet from office all these while. Now I’m ready to go online again outside the office.
I’m looking for a wireless broadband because I want to buy a notebook/laptop in the future and I’m barely at home.
Now there are 4 choices that I know of in the market:
First we have the famous, most advertise, Maxis Wireless Broadband. They are doing nationwide promotion on it and now they have these modem skinning thingy that comes with it.
The second choice is the Celcom Wireless Broadband. The third is the Izzi Mobile Wireless Broadband and last, the Surf With U.
I think we can see their advertisement or their agent nearly everywhere, but how about the coverage? I will cover about that later.
It cost RM138 per month for 3.6Mbps and one time activation fee of RM100. The limited edition skin is available at certain location, mostly in Klang Valley. You can send SMS as well (that will be a different charge). Now they have taken out the contract terms where last time, you need to have a contract of 12 months with them before you can terminate the service. The funny thing is that they giving you 7 days of trial period (they called it cooling-off period) where you can try it and terminate the service (you have to return the modem as well) with no extra cost if you’re not satisfy with it. They will return the activation fee to you too. If you have pass the 7 days period and you want to terminate the service, you need to pay a handling fee of RM200.
As for the coverage, it is improving. Compare to a few months back, it was really bad and I receive a lot of complaints from a lot of people.
My opinion: A little bit expensive compare to the other services providers, good 7 days cooling-off period, the coverage and the speed is getting better and cool looking modems.
