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

Price

The price of war,
Life..

The price of famine,
Life..

The price of injustice,
Life..

When war, famine, injustice, and many other social ailments do not affect you directly,
You pay the price of mistakes..

And in your world, you sometimes pay it with your friends..
And in your world, only too late do you realize friends are life..

Legenda : Day 17

Haha.. And I thought Saturdays would be a waste of time at the office.. No lectures and only the occasional meetings. Reached workplace at 8.00am and saw the basketball court accompanied by the glorious morning weather.. It could not be resisted.. I punched my card, left the office at 8.10am, went to the car, changed to my sports shoes and took the ball out for a 20mins non-stop practice! Loved it!


But then I was sweating buckets in a short-sleeve shirt and slack pants.. A bit of tissue paper and air-con does the trick after about half an hour =)

Now I'm back at my office desk writing this out.. My colleagues think I'm crazy exercising in the morning.. Lol.. But I'm energized now.. Great way to start the day!

Legenda : Day 16

Knowing me and my shallow Hindu knowledge, didn't know had to fast today.. Haha..neways during lunchtime, I drove to Mantin town which is 3.5km away to have Char Kuay Teow that was only RM2.80! Wasn't full so I got myself a Char Siew Pau before returning back to the office.


Oh ya, theres this middle-eastern gal that comes to the office from time to time.. Just found out today shes one of the lecturer's sister. She has striking facial similarities and style to Mia in One Tree Hill played by Kate Voegele. What I'm trying to say is shes hot la :p Hahaha.. Damn, I'm not good at staring at people.. Well, at least I have something to do around here while I'm free ;-)

Legenda : Day 9

Its the 2nd Saturday of the month.. So half day.. Come in at 8 and use internet till 12.30 then go back... Feels more like an admin staff with nothing to do... Haha.. Anyways, looking forward to my convocation weekend.. And good Chinese food.. =)
