Hotspot~~Sucked…

I purposely took my gf to a restaurant with hotspot inside Kinta City Ipoh to have our dinner and also try out my notebook wifi feature.
But we dissapointed that hotspot need to purchase then only can use. Not like those wireless connection emmited by our wireless modem, everyone can access if no password required.

Moreover, the hotspot package is not cheap. Click below url to check their package price.
tmnet hotspot packages

Personally i am TM Net Streamyx broadband user which pay monthly to use their ISP service.

For my opinion, as a TM Net Streamyx user, we should be granted free to use hotspot broadband connection. IF not, then the outlets that provided this service should have pay for it, not their customer…

I’m wondering why those outlets dont want to apply a SOHO Streamyx package, hook a wireless modem and make it WIFI . Then everyone in their outlets can enjoy wireless internet connection. They only need to pay RM148 monthly only…

What is your opinion regarding our TM Net Hotspot service ?

My Compaq Presario V3010 ( updated 3d & FPS benchmark )

Finally i brought my 1st notebook in my life ~~~ HP Compaq Presario V3010…^^Yesterday night i paid deposit, this afternoon i went to collect ( luckily dont need to wait long ).

But it took me more than 1 and a half hours to settle the payment…

A young trainee served me and briefed me regarding my notebook… But i knew about the notebook more than him haha.
According to the spec, my notebook suppose to be FreeDos which didnt have any OS installed but they installed a pirated window xp pro & office for me, and make 2 partitions for my hardisk.

Anyway , it did save my time for window OS, but i plan to dual boot my system with window xp & ubuntu linux.

Well, cut the crap… Lets take a look of my notebook spec.

Due to i dont have DC, tomorrow i go borrow from my gf and post some photos regarding the outlook of my notebook.

Just benchmarked my notebook using 3D Mark 03 & FPS to check the gaming speed.

Eventhough the 3d mark result is pretty low, but it still manage to finish the test. My old desktop graphic card Nvidia GeForce 4 MX440 cant even run the test…

For FPS which stand for frame per second, I tested it with my favourite game ~~Dota.

It manage to reach 20 FPS~~~ Which consider smooth inside the game.

Myvi

After discussion with my family, finally i make up my mind to buy Myvi instead of Kelisa.



They insisted me to take this car because it is more powerful ( 1300CC ) & more bigger compare to Kelisa.

Regarding the car’s specs can refer here…

Of course, Myvi will be more expensive…

Chinese Forum –> e-traderland.net

E-traderland, is it sound familiar ? haha…

If u focus on my blog index, u will find a small icon on the right of my blog, under partnering forum & sites.

What is e-traderland.net ?

E-traderland.net is 1 of the leading chinese forum in Malaysia. For me, e-traderland.net is the 1st forum that i ever heard from my girl friend. How she know about it, dont ask me… That time, i really dont know what forum is ? what do they discuss ? what do they share ?
At first, she always asked me to join the forum but i always dont brother her, the time when she walking around in forum i just sat in living hall and watched video. Funny it is ?

On 19-3-2004, finally i became e-traderland.net member. That time i just interest in computing category. Then around May, i got offered a degree course in Melaka & went to pursue my study. The time i was in Melaka, e-traderland.net became a platform for us to chat. My girl friend opened a new thread called –> Our diary. Since then, both of us wrote down what happen in our daily life and communicate each others.

Around July 2004 , i quit my study due to financial problem and went back to my home town. I took 3 months to find a job in my home town. During that 3 months, e-traderland chinese forum become my favourite. That time i mostly focus on computing stuff ( I’m a tech savvy ), giving some help/comment to those members who had trouble with their computer.

Then one day, i received a message from board management team inviting me to join them as a moderator, in charge of computer skill & world of internet these tow sub-categories. Then i accept it & start my moderator life in e-traderland chinese forum until now. I think i will hold it until i reach my retirement age, haha.
