Finally I’m back! After missing for so long, so many things happened. Some ppl come and go; some ppl leave and stay. Whatever happened, it really left a lot of footprint in my heart.

Some updates from me after missing for so long:

1. Subscribed P1 WIMAX “Potong Now” promotion for 1.2mbps package with RM99/ month for 1 year and paid RM99 for wired modem. I’ve heard some ppl commenting on WIMAX on the speed b4 and after the trial period. A bit worrying now although the speed @ my place now still up and down. I can say still not stable, sometimes fast; and most of the time slow (yellow signal). I’ve tried to download big file (>100mb) but the speed is really upsetting me :-( Let’s wait and see how the performance goes in 1 month times.

2. Went to a very tiring and costly trip (6D5N China). It was my first time travelled so far away from MY; thanks for Airasia-X promotion. Signed up with Nan Fang Holidays (M) Sdn Bhd @ Jalan Imbi for the ground arrangement. The itinerary had been changed 1/2 days before the trip (you have to accept it since you’ve paid for it and they have a clause quoted they have the rights to change the itinerary without prior notice). Although the itinerary was provided, it doesn’t mean the tour guide @ China will follow exactly the same. Most of the time, they will bring you go shopping (they said it was enforced by the government). During shopping time, they will not rush you to leave but during historical/ side-seeing place, they will give only 20-30 mins to walk around the place and take photos and keep rushing you to leave for another place. In these 6 days, I’ve travelled from 1 city to another city daily. The distance is like you travel from KL – Ipoh everyday. Besides, you will need to pay for a lot of other extra $$. The tour guide/ driver will tell you this is not included in your package, that is not included in your package. Eg: I’ve been to Shanghai, but I’ve never been to Shanghai Oriental Pearl Tower >.< Total damage for this trip is around RM3.5k (included flight ticket, ground package, souvenirs, etc). I think it will not cost so much for backpackers. Another thing I need to mention  here is, the hotel range @ China is totally different from MY. The package mentioned all hotels are rated 4 Stars, but it’s not really a standard 4 Stars. It might be worst than First World Hotel @ Genting :s . Although they will include the hotel name in the itinerary, and if  you think you can check the hotel online, you are wrong. Sometimes online information are not always accurate. I’ve checked each of the hotel in the website b4 signup for the package, but still get disappointed a lot. PS: I’m not the only 1 who commented on Nan Fang Holiday as 1 of my friend who signed up package with them had the “not so good” comment too. So if you are about to signup any package with them, think twice :)

3. Unknown status for current company. As some of you might already know, my company has been acquired by an Indian outsource company. The negotiation still ongoing since last few months. The up-to-date news is our GM/ CIO cannot get through CEO to discuss on this matter, although the appointment has been sent out quite some times (I wonder how the appointment can be messed up?). Nobody knows what’s the new direction of the company; nobody knows who will be “acquired” by the company; nobody knows everything. So many ppl left after the news including 3 managers. Will my manager be the next? I don’t know :-( I have no backup plan yet, the feelings now is like wait ppl to fire me :s Blessed me pls.

4. Moved to 2 new houses in 2 months time. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not that rich :p What I mean is my family had moved to new “old house” 2 months after I moved in to my new house :) Got me? Erm, 1st is I moved to my new house somewhere June and since then, I’ve not updated my blog as there is no internet connection there. The purpose I moved is because don’t want to become lamp post between my sis and bro in law after interrupted them for so long :p Thanks for letting me stayed at ur place, muakss ^0^ . Later on, somewhere in Aug, my new “old house” @ hometown which located next to my old house is finally ready to moved in. So I moved again from old house to new “old house” with my family. The old house actually very old now, older than any of my siblings. My dad has been staying there since he was born. Can you imagine how old the house is? With the help of white ants, the old house look even older than any other house @ my village. My mom really worry 1 day it will collapsed especially during heavy rain :s But after moved to new “old house”, our turn to miss my mom’s homemade dishes  (curry, rendang, sambal) as my mom say cook these dishes will make her new kitchen dirty >.< Shall we build another old kitchen for her for the sake of our tummy?

That’s it for my update so far. Will update more soon..
