Sloppy Chic

Festive is usually a season when most of us will spend a lot of money on calls, my mom is always complaining about us spending more money on phone calls and text messages with season greetings.

But, this year is going to be slightly different as since I introduced my family to iTalk WHOA!, we have saved quite a significant amount of money making International calls.

In conjunction of Ramadhan and Aidilfitri, from now on until 30th September 2010, you can enjoy special International (IDD) call rates to 3 selected countries to Fixed and Mobile as low as 9cent/30second.

Excited?

If you have seen me blog-hopping for a while, it is because I have switched to a new job, a completely different role, and the Internet access is rather limited.

I can’t even surf my own blog!

And work has been rather hectic..regular updates will resume once I get the hang of it!

Till then.

I’ve just got Unifi installed about a month ago in TTDI. It’s Malaysia’s first fiber optic home broadband service. Actually, we have got it installed during the free installation month and it was really worth it.  The whole installation process took almost one whole day with all the knocking and cabling in the house, and then finally the configuration.

See the download speed? Finally youtube is heaven now!

There are various packages offered for home use, VIP5, VIP10, and VIP20 (5Mbps, 10Mbps, 20Mbps). Although it’s claimed as “High Speed Broadband”, it is still “Low Speed” when compared with other developed countries in Asia Pacific.

Due to the fact that it’s only 20Mbps for the ‘premier’ package, there’s no real need for fiber optic. Unifi uses 2 different technologies depending on location. If no fiber optic is available in your area, they will use the existing copper line (VDSL), usually applicable for high rise buildings.

More often than not, people always ask me: Hey do you know where is the best for xxx?

I bet this is one of the most-asked Qs under the sun.

Now, we have a bible -  Not Just a Good Food Guide Kuala Lumpur by Alice Yong to answer our questions! Or help us to answer questions that people ask us.

And what are the chances of you meeting the brilliant behind the book?  She is also a writer of The Star newspaper.

I did! I am holding the Food Guide with the author.

p/s: Did anyone notice my short hair? YES I CUT IT! POTONG! 

Ok…back to the book. Let’s see what the book has for us.

At the front part, there is a list of most commonly used sentences in Malaysia, this is especially useful for the foreign visitors.

And there is also a page of Malaysia LRT map to guide the tourists!
