Wireless

Earlier this week, New York City announced to make Central Park a big WiFi zone. And yesterday, BT announced to do the same with the UK major cities. That is unbelievably so cool! I must have sound like an 8-year-old kid who was told that I’m going to get a PS3 very soon. Haha.

I mean, can you imagine having sandwich in Hyde Park and reading some blogs at the same time? That is awesome. Of course, you can do that already with 3G technology but 3G is still very much an expensive technology to many and Hotspots will make it a little bit more affordable to the masses.

I’m still waiting for the day I can surf at Taman Tasik Titiwangsa or Taman Tasik Perdana without having to buy those expensive Maxis 3G cards. Sigh. But hey, knowing the Malaysians, I am pretty sure that the whole KL will be a Hotspots zone in 2-3 years time. This means, I will be able to enjoy my sandwich at KLCC Park during lunchtime while posting an entry onto my blog. However, such thing may never happen because KL is just too hot at noon. Haha. I’d rather have lunch at Suria KLCC or PNB Darby Park than out in the sun. Oh my God, I could be having lunch with my sister-in-law who happens to work nearby at the Exxon Mobil Tower. Oh well, lets just step back into reality and not thinking about the future too much. Ciao.

Two corrections here. First, it is only a 2 and a half hours return journey. At some day, it can go up to 3 hours but never 4 hours. And Kent is not a name of a city or village. Kent is a county.

Second, I never said that I want to go to London every week just because I want to surf internet. Saying it would be nice to surf the internet in Hyde Park while eating sandwich does not in any way imply that I want to go to Hyde Park every week to surf the internet.

Is that clear? :P

I Hate Him.

I read a blog of my friend today and I have to say this, "I hate you!" There, I've said it. I can't believe that he would actually wrote something like that. I mean, I've heard him saying it, but to write it in his blog is totally unacceptable - at least to me. Though part of what he wrote is true, he still has no rights whatsoever to write those things.

Bad Bee. Bad Bee.

Everyone seems to be talking about exams nowadays. Well, you can’t blame them since exam is just around the corner. Currently I am revising for Principles of Marketing and Management with a bee hovering in front of me (well, actually, I am typing this entry). Not a very conducive environment indeed, I must say. For some strange reasons I seem to attract five bees into my room this week alone. It is amazing to see how these bees can take just 2 seconds to come into my room and the whole day to get out. Why is it so difficult for them to find the window to fly out of my room remains a mystery to me. Here I am staring at the bee and keep telling it to go to the right, where the window is. Sometimes, I even wonder whether it is the same bee everyday or not. Speaking of which, (not totally related but bees do remind me of airplanes) AirAsia is going to sign a new sponsorship $5.6million deal with Manchester United (as in the football club). To be honest, I don’t really see the connection be...

Monkey Business.

Malaysian Members of the Parliament (MP) are a disgrace to the country! That is all I have to say after watching how those MPs behaving like a bunch of idiots. It is a wasted effort by Malaysians having to queue up to elect them during General Election only to see them acting like MONKEYS in the Parliament. I know it is normal for MPs to shout at each other over certain issues, but it is OK if they are shouting at each other fighting for the cause of people who voted for them. Malaysians voted for you because they want you to represent their voice in the Parliament. In the end, will the shouting benefits the people? NO, because the real issue that was debated at first was dropped at the end of the shouting as if it was a meaningless issue. It is not a surprise to see why it took the Parliament a very long time to pass a bill only to realize later that the bill has lots of overlooked loopholes. Then, the people will protest the new bill and they will have to bring it back to the Parliam...
