TMNet Tech Support getting Better?
My internet was down last Saturday, and went back up on Monday afternoon. Which is why I haven’t been replying in the comments because of the down time. And for that 2 days, I manage to watch a lot of DVDs that I bought few months back.
I’ve been complaining about TMNet and how suck they are since day one. Every time you called the 1300 Streamyx CustCare number, you will be greeted with the same troubleshooting steps, with their same claims of “resolved within 2 working days”.
For some reason, TMNet is very efficient yesterday. I called them at 1pm. I told them I did the troubleshooting and I am still unable to connect to the internet. I told them my DSL is OFF since Saturday morning. So, I lodge a report. After writing down the report number, the lady says she will direct me to 2nd Level Technical Support. Wow, even their Technical Support Department have Levels! Heh! I didn’t know that. Anyway, the guy in the 2nd Level Technical Support told me that he will contact local technician and send them to my area to check on the port in the Pizza Box. And that guy said it will be resolved within 24 hours!
Sure enough, at 3pm, a technician came. He is the same one who came around 5 times in two months period few years back. He’s the one who fixed my miscapped problem that time. He checked my modem, restarted it, and still see no sign of DSL going ON. Then he say he will go to the pizza box and fix the port for me. After around 30 minutes, I see my modem’s DSL started to blink, then it goes stable. He called me to confirm whether it is working or not. He then said that he will close the report for me.
And for the first time, after 2 hours calling them, they sent a technician to fix the problem. Previously when I called them, it took them at least one day before a technician came to check on the problem. Are they getting better on the Technical Department? Or is it because I am not as angry as Mr Chua when I called the hotline? Well, I do hope they can maintain this efficiency, or perhaps making it better. :happy:

It’s My Birthday! And some updates…
Happy Birthday to myself. It’s my 19th year of of being single. Nothing to be proud of, I guess. Hey, while being single, there are 2 girls with me celebrating my birthday! That’s not so bad 
Anyways, thanks for the birthday SMSed, Friendster comments, verbal birthday wishes, birthday MSN messages, and not forgetting the 2 girls for their birthday treat
I am still going on, jobless. So, while I am enjoying myself, I am working on my projects. So, for those who have problems with WordPress, or wanted me to design a theme, I am there for hired. Don’t hesitate to contact me. I will try my best to give the best price for my service. You never know I might be doing it free for you.
Other than that, I am still waiting for phone calls from the company I submitted my CV to. If there are still no news from them, I might flip the Yellow Pages and start calling all available accounting firm in Miri. I do realise that I am a bit too young to work and my wish to pursue ACCA Professional Scheme. But somehow, I think I will forget everything I have studied if I just sit idle at home.
So here’s my plan. I plan to create a blog and pour all I know on what I have studied, and perhaps have a collabo with some other smart students and share our knowledge. This way, I can still have my brain working on what I have studied while waiting for my results that will be out around mid-August. That is IF I have failed to get a job or perhaps to lazy to get one.
Let’s see how it goes first, since I have yet to tell my family about my plans to further study. They do want me to do so, I know, but the problem is that most college will only take students next year. I just don’t like the idle time. So, wish me luck
Updates: Ok, I learn my lesson. My blog won’t stop double pinging ever since the upgrade. I will now ping manually by using PPS pinger. Sorry PPS!!

Exam Finish, Now What?
I just finished my last paper for the session. I am officially a free guy (not yet a man!).
And now that I have to wait for 10 weeks before I know my result, of course I am thinking of getting a job, to practice what I’ve learn all this while. When I was still studying, attending class, doing assignments and so on, I always have the feeling wanted to quickly finish my studies and start working. I wanted to help to support my family. My dad retires few years ago, and so far our family has been relying on his EPF.
My brother and sister are working. And bear that in mind, they have their own commitments and liabilities, like cars and relationship. They do help supporting the family, like paying portion of bills and daily expenses.
And me? I’ve been doing nothing but studying, watching anime and j-drama, blogging and also doing some web design. Being the youngest, I always feel like a burden to my family, which is why I always have the thought of going out working. And yet, whenever people ask me to do any part time job (like the standing in the departmental store), I refuse to do so. Reason? I always gives reason that it doesn’t help me with my line of study.
I still want to study. But seeing my family condition, I feel like I don’t have much choices, other than start working, earn some money, help my family, keep some savings, and further study on my own sometime in the future. Now that I’ve finished my exam, and hopefully, I passed all my paper. Then I don’t have to pay RM200 for each subject, wait till December, and repeat my exams.
And to start working now? I feel too young to do so. But I don’t think I have much choice. As I know, ACCA in Miri is offered as a part time course. If I were to enroll, I can continue study, but, do you think I should be doing nothing in the day time? All in all, I still have to work.
Ahhh… I wonder why I am so scared of the working world :unsure:
