P1 Wimax vs TM Net Streamyx test

Much has been said about the revolutionary Wimax from Packet One Network ( P1) . Recently I've has been having problems accessing to Streamyx . Speed was slow and at times I couldnt even connect to the net. This prompted me to give the P1 Wimax a try.

Was preety excited when I got my own Wimax modem yesterday and immediately tested out the connection but to my dismay it didnt live up to my expectation. Wimax 1.2 Mb package , connection was slow and unstable.

Test was done via an independant test server at speedtest.net and at P1 own speedometer test in its own homepage. Using a KL based server as a test bed, Streamyx is the clear winner with speed up to 2 1/2 times faster than Wimax. The Wimax was tested in my room, as its where I surf the most. However to be fair, another test would be done in my living room facing the direction recommended by P1.

Streamyx results on a KL based server using Speedtest.

My humble verdict : Whether you like it or not , Streamyx remains the clear winner in internet surfing speed in the comfort of my room, due to its landline. To be fair, Wimax is a wireless broadband service and I am trying it out in my own room, and not as per their recommendation at an open area facing the recommended position, in this case South . It may be excellent surfing in a open area , but as I said I mostly spend my time surfing in my room. I can be carrying the P1 modem around my house and surf right ?????

PS : This test is purely done on my own accord and based my own opinion and doesnt reflect any bias towards any ISP.

Petronas Malaysia Grand Prix 2009.....experience

Finally after 11 years , I finally make my virgin trip to the hottest race on earth at Sepang International Circuit. Previously I would prefer to watch it at the comfort at my home sofa or lepaking at some cafe.

We also witness history of the first race in Sepang that is halted due to torrential rain which the race stewards deem too dangerous for the drivers to continue. Maybe the Tok Pawang didnt do his job well ! Also its the first F1 race that is held in the evening in Malaysia, which proves isnt a good decision afterall . The rain was so heavy that the race had to be red flagged, thanks to visibility which had dropped to near zero. The track had also become totally drenched with water. According to Button himself, “It wasn’t like it was a river out there, it was a lake!”. Hamilton said it was one of the most dangerous conditions he had ever had to race in, and all he could do was try to keep the car on track, don’t even begin to talk about actually racing yet.

The jam leading towards the circuit.

No sticker, no parking !! Thanks LG also for the parking pass !

Cindy Cheok spotted !!!

Ferrari trying to chase Mclaren wor.....


Diehard Ferrari fan...but German coloured ??? Wei Uncle, M Shumacher era is gone lar...

Safety car out in the rain.

So it was a massively wet race, one that was made worse by the fact that it was an evening one - unlike previous years where the afternoon sun quickly dries the track. Jenson Button in his Brawn GP F1 car took the top spot again, with second place this time going to Nick Heidheld in BMW. Barrichello who came in second the last race was in 5th place. F1 big names Ferrari and McLaren continues their woes with Kvalainen retiring on the first lap.

In the end, I guess lady luck was on my side as I manage to snap a photo with Button....check this out......

.......................

Was reading a buddy's blog few days ago and it reminded me of this unfateful day 14months ago , 29 Dec 07 to be exact. Yeah I want you to know brother I am facing the same problem as you do and we are on the same boat.Was ok until i read this................

" My mood fluctuated. A moment I can be as chirpy as a bird but I can be also really down on another. The moment "she" conquered my mind, I felt that way. It happened just like that. I seem to be in auto-cruise in my own world.

It had been 2 years, 2 months & 17 days. I felt lousy, I felt weak, I felt defeated. Many of times, best buddies around me who see me this way, I made them felt lousy and many of times they try to wake me up by putting knife after knife into my mentality but thus far, no one had really manage to mend the wound I am nursing. Guys, sorry I disappointed you but you are not me, you would not understand the feeling, really. I do appreciate your advices but my ears only chose what I want to hear and eliminate those I do not want to.

(Taking a deep sigh) I felt that I am being haunted, I saw someone that actually look like her, again like I said I am in my own world. Who understands this nonsensical feeling that I am enduring now? Who had been through this? Yes, again & again I hear words like, "Dude, it's not the end of the world!" Yeah, I do know that! That's why I have not even ended my own life foolishly after so long. But it is just that feeling that is haunting me. The wrongdoing of mine, the regrets & the pain. I apologize my dear, really I do.

What happened to him is just the carbon copy of me. The only difference is that its been 14 month........... Yes you are right by asking me to forget her, I tried but at times its just uncontrolable. Youve been thru the same and you should understand . Not that I've not tried to start a new relationship , but the past really haunts me . Would I end up being the same again etc ??????

Just a simple song that of what happened then ..........

Time for giving and sharing...

CNY is a time for giving and sharing. Charities work and visit surges during this time. Nevertheless we took the opportunity to visit Ti-Ratana Welfare Society in Desa Petaling on the 7th day of CNY lately. Thanks to my generous friend Cat , for organizing this trip.

There are many less fortunate people around us everyday. Often, a lot of us turn a blind eye to their existence because it made our lives easier not to care, for some it’s just plain ignorance.

Despite many out there who is already helping and care enough to understand and offer help to these people, help… is never enough.

On my previous visit to the orphanage, I have grown a liking to most of the kids there. They warmed my heart like no other but at the same times, it breaks my heart too.

Ti-Ratana houses about 200 childrens and close to about 100 old folks .

Frankly this isnt the first time I've visited Ti-Ratana , but this trip really leaves a deep impression on me . Previously under the banner of Lion Club of Damansara , my dad has organized several celebrations there on a bigger scale, but not much is mingling is done with the childrens. But this trip is less formal and we are much more freeier to move about at our own pace.


This little boy was recently abandoned by his parents and left at a babysitter who then sent him here. He was keeping himself away from others and was a little wary and skeptical about me at first. And finally when we left, he smiled at me and wave at me..that really left a deep impression on me . Just why their parents are doing this ???? Leaving their children ....


Volunteers are welcome to help out here. You can either contribute by baby sitting , giving tuition or just helping out here with their everyday chores. All you need is just to keep in touch with them and register yourself as a volunteer. Click here for further information in how you can be a volunteer.

Most of the people usually donated essentials items like rice being the most common thing. However most of this charity organisation has overstocks of rice. We may also donate other items like snacks , chocolates , stationaries and other essentials. Ti-Ratana also came out with a wish list where we can choose to donate items which they may need.



Give this little angels a new lease of life . Give them care , love and lend them support and light their heart .

Pai Tin Kung , Hokkien thanksgiving day

Yesterday marks the 9th day of CNY in the lunar calender. Its also the time for Hokkien Chinese community , to celebrate the Jade Emperors birthday or Tin Kong Seh . Common believe also that the Hokkiens in Fujian province survived a prosecution from the Sung Dynanty soldiers by hiding in the sugar cane plantation on Chinese New Year for nine days, and they came out unharmed on Jade Emperors birthday and they believed that its been protected by the Jade Emperor. That also explains why sugarcane is a must in this ceremony.


More than 20 food offerings are offered to appease to Jade Emperor , also knows as Tian Kung. This includes 5 types of fruits , 6 types of vegetarian items and 3 meat dishes comprising chicken , fish and pork. Sweets cakes like ang ku , fatt koh are also being offered together with pineapples and sugarcanes as well as 3cups of chinese tea and 5 cups of rice wine.


Kam Chu ( or golden pig/ roast pork ) are offered depending on budget. Some offer cuts of a roast pork while some offered the whole pig.

Hard boiled red eggs and mee suah and noodles are must have items , as this dishes are traditionally served during birthday.These offerings are then arranged in a certain order in red tables facing the main gate. Normally ritual would start after midnight.


Joss papers included kim jua ( gold paper ) , paper houses featuring designs like dragons, the 8 immortals or pheonix are then burned as an offering to give thanks and seek his blessings in return.
