Free petrol as you shop
Shopping malls sure know how to attract customers…I was shopping at MetroPoint Kajang yesterday, needing badly a pair of work shoes to take the place of my old torn one. So I bought a pair of comfit shoes at Bata for RM50. In return I was able to claim a voucher at customer service for 1 litre of Unleaded Petrol. How’s that for free petrol? It’s only 1 litre, which is like soooo little, but it probably works to bring some people to little boring MetroPoint mall, where parking is free and it’s just outside my house.

I had to take a pic of the menu as I would never remember the names of the…

A new WiMAX lifestyle
WiMAX, sounds like something that’s wide and maximum? Truth be told, I only heard of this term today, and it really stands for something long and challenging to remember, that is, Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access. It’s based on the IEEE 802.16 Air Interface Standard, compared to 802.11 currently used for WIFI. WiMax delivers a point-to-multipoint architecture, making it an ideal method for carriers to deliver broadband to locations where wired connections would be difficult or costly. Now, WiMAX is really a new technology for using broadband internet, and it’s wireless, fast, and doesn’t take a long time to set up. In my office now, we’re still using wired broadband,…
