"Celcom, Spring, Doraemon!"

Festive season is upon us, driving to work is a breeze, time for some much needed R&R!

1. Celcom Broadband
Modo was giving subsidy for broadband usage of RM90/month but the account must be under employee's name. Darn, asked TM to change the Streamyx from my bro's name to mine. Cannot pula ask me to cut the line and re-register a line, but need 1 month! If that didn't sound ridiculous to them when they say it, I dunno what will! So went to scout for other broadband services, ended up with Celcom Broadband, heard of this nice offer from WM, RM98/month, Modem RM399, Trial period 1 week.

Well, on the 6th day, I cut the line and got a full refund for the modem! Gosh it was too slow, even with HSDPA. Nice try though, certainly has it's advantages, but it's considerably slower than Streamyx and watching YouTube was a nightmare. Heh, the shop and Celcom didn't even ask why I terminate.. must be used to it alrdy!

2. The Spring
Remember this place I was considering last time? Well, last Sat they released the bumi lots. It was selling red hot last time, with people queueing up at 3AM. So how bout this time?

Nah, still many units available. I went at 4.30PM *almost* bought one unit. But RM323K for 925 sq ft, leasehold, 23rd floor with no swimming pool doesn't really make sense. You can get a double storey terrace at Butterworth for that price! I'd pay RM280K for it, mostly coz I like the design and concept of waking up to face the sea, but not RM323K. Mr.Salesman persistently ask me to reconsider. Screw..:D With the economy being predictably gloomy next year, might be wise to play wait and see!

3. Doraemon
Haha.. you'd be wondering what Doraemon has to do with Christmas @ Queensbay. Probably the new movie out, but hey, don't we all love this cute friend!

Ok, that's it. The fact that I'm blogging from office shows something :P Will be going back to Melaka tomorrow morning. Back to Penang on 30/12. Then, we will be flying (yes, Fireflyz!) to Langkawi for a 3D2N vacation. Hurray~~!

Ok, signing off, take care and have a great holiday!
