I hate boiling water
In my house, most of the time I have to boil the water. I hate this job, coz I have to lug the kettle, wait at the sink for the water to fill up, plug in it, wait till it’s boiled, then I have to pour it out into our water container, and the water finish up really fast, especially during cell nights. What boiling does is eliminate the salts and bicarbonates that hard water comes with. Boiling water softens it partially. But one day, I decided to get fleck water softener and be done with the monotonous chore of boiling water. I get frustrated when I need to drink…

Upgrading to Postpaid
A couple days ago I received a call from Maxis. The customer service said Maxis would like to offer me a very special offer, to upgrade my Prepaid line to Postpaid, whereby I get to keep the number, I get RM10 rebate every month, and 500 free smses. Well at first I was pretty suspicious, coz the guy asked for my IC No and Mailing address. Didn’t Momma say don’t reveal your IC sewenang-wenangnya? So I asked back a lot of questions just to verify this is really Maxis as I didn’t know Maxis does this kind of direct telesales. Finally, I agree to take it on, and today I’ve…
