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?

Video games
I have 3 elder sisters. When I was around 13, one of our favourite pastimes was to frequent video game stores in malls and seedy shop houses. My eldest sis would pay a few bucks and we’d play for a couple of hours. The games were nothing like what we have today, they were just marion brothers type of game play, yet we were always excited and never tire of it. I remember we would use those consoles with thick cartridges, big CRT tv without even a flat screen and joysticks or keypads, enjoying every minute being immersed in the virtual world, jumping, collecting coins or swinging on trees.
