Yet

Yet is a common English word that when used as a conjunction , is equivalent to "but" or "nevertheless".

However, used as an adverb, yet defines an action's persistence in time. Perhaps uniquely in English, the word can define an action in the past, present or future:

  • I have never yet been late.
  • I yet stand.
  • I will yet arrive.

Also, yet is a local dialect term in lowland Scotland and Cumbria for a gate.

____________________________________________________

adverb 1 up until now or then. 2 as soon as the present or a specified or implied time: wait, don’t go yet. 3 from now into the future for a specified length of time. 4 referring to something that will or may happen in the future. 5 still; even (emphasizing increase or repetition). 6 in spite of that.

conjunction but at the same time.

DiGi Postpaid Scams.. Oh sorry, Plans..

As usual, Malaysia' political scene is once again in a mess and I'll keep to my word of not blogging about it because its utterly rubbish and only spoiling Malaysia's name in the eyes of the world. Developing country? We? My arss...

Anyway, something closer to our ears.. Handphones.. DiGi Postpaid Plans.. Like every other telco company in Malaysia, DiGi rolls out their massive packages every 3 or 4 months. In April 2008, I subscribed to DiGi 1 Plan; the one plan to supposedly rule them all..


Take notice of 2 things..

SMS to other telcos : 15 cents
Extra Features : FREE calls, SMS and MMS after RM123 usage

Lately, DiGi unveiled 4 more new packages replacing the existing 1 Plan.


Even so, old 1 Plan subscribers were not asked to change to any one of these packages even though it can be cheaper using the DG50, DG 150, and DG250 packages. I even read something sayinh, 1 Plan users might not be able to use these latest packages. I'm going to the DiGi centre on Saturday to rectify this. Better hope somebody doesn't get a hurt real bad!

Notice that SMS to other telcos using the new plans is now 10 cents (except DG20 package)

And another important information DiGi failed to inform me is effective from July 2008, they have removed the "Extra Feature" available in 1 Plan. The extra feature was the main reason many including myself switched to the plan.

Even if you want to remove it, at least have the courtesy to at least send an email or SMS to your subscribers saying so. Its only stated in a small column under DiGi Postpaid FAQ segment. But they are super efficient at sending out countless emails and sms reminders to pay your BILL!

In the end, everything is like the politicians of this country.. Money and power hungry..

1st Pay

I finally got my first pay after a month with my new job. I was quite happy. The thought of being financially independent is a nice one. Its like a new sense of freedom.

Oh ya, the Kate Voegele lookalike I was talking about, she has gone back to her home country. That's one less pretty gal to see around here.. *sob sob* :p

I'm getting better managing my work time and time with my friends. Now my department also needs more physics lecturers as another lecturer will be leaving soon. No.. no.. It's not because I made a good first impression.. :p hahaha
