I Won These From PA Ruumz

Went to Nuffnang today at noon to claim what I won for Day 15 in the Project Alpha Ruumz daily contest. 

My Dream Destination

I had sent my entry for the Saya Nak Cuti contest organised by MAS Traveller before and eventhough I was told that I was selected as the top 20 finalist and done a video shoot at my office which was then overturned and I was drop from the Top 20. The destination for that dream vacation was Bali.

This week Projectalpha Instant Cash blogging again come up with the same tittle and I still choose Bali as my dream vacation. However this contect is not to win that dream vacation but just to enter the Nuffnang organised contest. I would very much love to go to Bali because of its five 'S' - serenity, scenery, sun, sea,surf. As I had written in my essay for that particular contest that Bali is a blend of Islam and Hindu culture. Its the uniqueness of the island at the tip of Java. 

Bali still has its beautiful scenery that provide the sense of serenity, calmness and tranquility surrounded by the sea and beautiful beaches with some areas providing waves for surfing and one can enjoy the sun all at one destination. 

If one is considering to go for holidays there are two options that is organise your own trip or go through the tourist agent. Either option, it is wise for you to plan your travel so that your trip will be smooth and worth your money spent. One place where you can look for information and plan your holidays is a website from Malaysian Airlines System. This is it. 

The website suggests you with destinations that can be memorable to you and you do not have to squeeze out your brain to plan.

Fail To Land RM 20 Again

Receive and email from Nuffnang informing me that my entry for week 6 was not in the 100 first entry receive. Seems that the contest has fished many bloggers now. I failed too in the 5th week but I can understand because I send in the entry a bit late.I sent in my posting on Wednesday. 

For week 6 I sent in on Tuesday and still can't make it into the first 100 entry. So it seems that now bloggers have to stay in front of the monitor or laptop to know whether new tittle for the following week has been posted and send in the entry immediately at the expense of quality blogging. I did that for this week 7 and sent in my entry on Monday itself. I am already demoralized after two subsequent weeks. 

I Won The Blackberry

It was one of a memorable night for me after turning into a blogger. Oopppssss...can I call myself a blogger? BTW. anybody who blogs can call himself a blogger right? OK....why it was memorable. I attended the prize presentation ceremony for the Blog4FT blog writing contest organised by the Ministry of Federal Territories and Wellbeing at Sime darby Convention Centre. 

I am satisfied for whatever effort I had put into writing and posting my work at ....as I Travel  that I entered for the blog writing contest even though did not win the grand prize. Out of more than 4,000 blogs submitted, to be in the top 25 prize winners is, to me an achievement and motivation.

My blog, the series of Walking-walking Kuala Lumpur had won the special jury prize and I took home a Blackberry Curve and a Celcom Broadband while I won another Celcom Broadband stick for being the Top 5 contributors.The Celcom Broadband stick comes with a free one month subscription.

Now I am officially a Blackberry user. It was a dream to own a Blackberry before this and now I got it for Free.  

My Favourite Surfing Spot

The internet revolution is growing fast. Gone are the days when one has to sit in the study or living room to get connected to the internet. I still remember at my office in the 90s, there is only one desktop connected to the internet and downloading files to read takes a big chunk of time. However I am proud that I was among the first few who has the luxury to surf the internet back then on dial-up of course. Besides I am also proud to have the opportunity to follow the internet development from the days of Jaring that are being used mostly by schools as a learning tools. Then come the dial-up followed by Streamyx. After a few years wiereless came into the picture and followed by WiFi. 

WiFi has made fast inroad into the surfing experience of Malaysians and the arrival of Broadband generate more interest among net savvy citizen to jump onto the wagon. After a few years of WiFi came the Wimax that covers a wider area. Wimax provide a new surfing experience when users are more mobile and can get connected to the cyberspace anywhere and wherever they one. 

I follow all those mentioned development and now I am also riding on the Broadband waves. Wireless Broadband enables me to surf wherever I can. I have turned myself into an internet addict. My surfing experience can be considered as always on. 

To be able to get connected to mobile WiFi network one has to use the mobile modem. Malaysia can be considered lucky because the major Telcos has come up with their own Broadband plan and consumer has no trouble to choose the best service suited to their surfing experience. The latest technology that enter the Malaysian market is the Wimax which operates at a faster speed compared to EDGE, HSDPA WAP and 3G. Green Packet being the first operator to launch Wimax introduced a portable modem, Wiggy, for laptop. 

Wiggy that run on the USB slot enables user to roam far and wide anywhere in the P1 Wimax coverage. It enable user to surf at a blazing speed of 10 Mbps. Read more HERE.    

Everybody has some peculiar lifestyle in doing things. Some are taboo related. Some needs a better environment. This practice of doing things affect surfing lifestyle too. With more mobility people tend to surf at more places not to forget some with their favourite surfing spots. 

For me, my favourite surfing spot is my home after work. This is where I will place my netbook (that serve as the CPU) and connected to the monitor. I will be sitting here to surf the internet until I go to sleep.

Yes, this is my favourite surfing spot. First it is near the open balcony and wireless signal is much better. Secondly, I can get cool air for free and thirdly I can look outside to see the green leaves to destress my eyesight and rest my eyes. Too much straining on the computer screen can be a health hazard. A few weeks ago I can even see the KL Tower in the distance from where I am sitting. 

I also surf  at the office performing my official assignment and do not depend on my office network.  Wireless Broadband had given me the freedom to surf. Whether its office, home or on the move, I will always be able to get connected and never worry about searching for WiFi Hotspots anymore whenever I travel.

  

Whenever I travel on assignments four items will always travel with me; my mobile phone, my camera, my netbook and my mobile modem. On the move my favourite surfing spot will be a place where there is comfort and food available. I will choose a place with the wall behind where the monitor screen will not be exposed. The first reason is the screen will be clearer because there will not be any glare and secondly, other people can't see what is on my screen because I want some privacy. You think I want to surf porn, ah? Hahahaha.........Then I will position myself so that I face an open view so that while surfing, I can enjoy my favourite teh 'O' ais limau with either roti canai banjir or cakes or whatever while at the same time can oogle girls passing by....hahahaha.......mata keranjag.....
