Having Problems with Streamyx?

Posted on By sweet surrender 1 Comment on Having Problems with Streamyx?

Ok people! I know many of us is having problem with Streamyx. Everyone, I’m sure everyone had at least one or many times of bad experiences with Streamyx. They are the one and only service provider for our broadband nationwide. If there are other companies coming in then I’m sure all the customers will switch service provider IMMEDIATELY!

The problems that we always have with them are:
1. Frequent disconnections.
2. You don’t get the speed you pay for.
3. Long downtime.
4. Lousy customer care service.
etc. (I’m sure you have more to share)

Due to this, we are starting a campaign/petition to make sure that we get what we pay for. Click here to sign the petition. We would like to get as much signatures as possible and hopefully we can achieve something for a better “world”. Help me spread the words please and thanks 🙂

The petition page is in Chinese, don’t worry, I will translate it so that you can join in too. After I translated it, there will be English version as the person in charge will copy my text over. Actually I’m in charge of the translation part 😛

Here’s the translation:

10K signatures required :-
– Provide better customer services
– Improve speed and performance
– Less disruptions
– Get what we are paying for etc.
p/s: your e-mail and IC no. will not be displayed.

Let me share my experience with you:
I couldn’t connect to the net using Streamyx on 19th Dec 2006. Then I called Streamyx Customer Care on 20th to ask them about it. Everytime I called them, they will always give the same answers such as “the problem is at my side”, “computer settings problems”, “modem problems”, “splitter problems” etc. After that, I checked everything and even replaced all the related devices to new ones to test but still couldn’t connect to the net.

I called them again to ask them to send someone over to check but they insisted that they won’t be sending any and suggested that the problem was with my phone line. Therefore I called TM to send someone over to check my phone line and it turned out that there’s no problem at all. So the TM people called Streamyx on my behalf to ask them to send someone over to check for me. I waited and waited for few days but no one came. Due to that, I called them everyday to pressure them to send someone over, the funny thing was that everytime I called, I was given different answer. One moment, they said that the problem is at my side, the other moment, they said that their cabel was having problem. I waited and waited and finally the line is back on 4th January 2007 but there is still one problem, the line is crawling slow!

I’m sure you ever encounter this kind of problem and always have no one to turn to. Let’s support this petition!

If you have any inquiry, do e-mail me at webmaster@cosworld.net

Rice Fiesta @ Pizza Hut

Posted on By sweet surrender 5 Comments on Rice Fiesta @ Pizza Hut

I’m feeling sick today, whole body is aching. Yesterday got the scare of my life, my left eye was swollened and red until I couldn’t really open my eye. Luckily after about 1 hour+, it got better, might be something that irritated it. The eyelid seems a bit swollen today and seems like there’s a small bump inside my eyelid.”Bak Jiam”? -_-“(Sorry, I don’t know what it’s called in English.) Looks like it’s the season to get sick now.

We always see pizzas in Pizza Hut, now they are having Rice Fiesta. They have two types, (1)Rice Platter with 2 Deli/Sweet & Spicy Wings and (2)Baked Cheese Rice(I couldn’t remember the actual name. It sounded something like this :P). Each comes with a glass of Ice Lemon Tea and Soup-of-the-day.

We ordered Baked Cheese Rice.
The conclusion, I don’t like the rice.

We Need Better Home Security!

Posted on By sweet surrender 5 Comments on We Need Better Home Security!

How many times do you come across news that people’s houses’ got break into? It’s getting on everybody’s nerves! We are no longer safe in our own house. What are the police doing nowadays? Busy catch snakes? Busy drinking coffee? Or we just don’t’ have enough police? Or people are getting so desperate to make a living due to price hike in almost everything.

Most houses now are installed with home security system. No one wants to take the chances of being tied up and robbed or got their houses burglarized when no one’s home.

Found this one product that is very interesting, Finger Print Door Lock. What happened if you are injured or severed your finger? Then you’ll be lock out of your own house *WICKED LAUGH* Do you think our burglars are so high tech by fabricating our fingerprints and used it to access our house? Nuh… Don’t think so, if they are, I don’t think they will do something as “cheap” as this. Hmm… Unless they want to break into our PM’s house or some high profile people’s houses. Hahaha… It will definitely deter them from entering your house or why not use a much easier way? 😛 Go in via the windows. Afraid of that? Then install fake cameras to trick them that they are being monitored or recorded but then… On second thought, why go fake? Go REAL! Duh… Such as Hidden Camera.

Ok… Let’s get back to some serious notes, when is this going to end? Don’t think it will be any sooner. Instead, it will get more and more serious. Therefore, to protect your properties and your family, do invest in proper security system, beware of your surroundings and get to know your neighbours so that everyone can help to keep an eye on each other houses. What I have in mind is that, it could be due to the mentality nowadays that we tend to mind our own business unlike 10 over years ago where everyone practically knew each other in the neighbourhood. It’s not surprising that there are now cases where the neighbours thought that their neighbour is moving out, that’s why a big truck is there to carry their stuffs but it turned out that those are the bad guys! Scary not?

4-in-1 Festive Pan Pizza @ Pizza Hut

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on 4-in-1 Festive Pan Pizza @ Pizza Hut


The Festive Meal comes with:
4-in-1 Festive Pan Pizza(Island Supreme, Spicy Chicken, Masala Chicken and Chickem Trio), Garlicstix, Soup-of-the-day, Mango Pudding with Nata de Coco and Fizzy Jelly.



4-in-1 festive Pan Pizza. Opsss… Missed out the photo of another topping, I couldn’t recognised which is what.


Mango Pudding with Nata de Coco. It’s too sweet for my liking. However, it has very strong mango flavour.

Overall, I still prefer the usual Pan Pizza set meal.

Sales Madness

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Sales Madness

This is the first time I saw it happened just right in front of me. I went to BDC Everrise to window shop with my family on new year’s eve afternoon. Everrise was having a One Day Boom Sales and there were lots of people. Everyone seemed to be buying trolley of trolley of groceries.

I was standing at the cold storage department, then a staff carried a box of 5kg Neptune cooking oil which they were selling at a very low price at RM10.40, while stock last.

Suddenly, a big sized uncle came and ambushed the box from behind. The box fell to floor. Next moment, there were a whole lot more of aunties scrambled towards him. Goosshhh… They were wrestling among each other to grab the cooking oil!! Everyone was trying to grab as many as they could. One aunty tried to push another aunty away; another tried to grab one and slipped off from her hand so the other aunty quickly grabbed it. It was really crazy. The aunties and that uncle were just like hungry animals fighting for food! Seeing their faces and their actions were enough to scare the hell out of you. So aggressive! Worst still, it happened at the aisle where the glass bottles of sauces are placed.

Many people were stunned seeing everything unfold in front of them. We all shook our heads and some even whispered to each other that those people were out of control. I was stunned too until I forgot to take out my camera *LOL* else you’ll see who they are. Who knows they are your parents or your relatives.

Phew… Luckily my parents aren’t people like that. I’m really embarrassed if they are. So uncles and aunties, if you are like that, that’s one of the reasons your teenagers don’t like to follow you to any of your shopping trip.

We only spend on what we need instead of buying in bulk to keep stock. Groceries have expiry dates, there is no point to buy so many when you can’t even finish them before they expire. I know many people that stock up a lot when there are Sales going on. At the end, the stuffs they bought were all thrown away. What a waste!

This is not the way to save money. It’s just a waste of money. It’s only a gimmick for the supermarkets to clear off their stocks. If you are sure that you can finish them in time then go ahead, if you just have this mentality of buying more to save more then it’s just so wrong. Sales are all year round, even supermarkets are having sales every week. So what are you worrying about? Be a smart shopper not the stupid one. Don’t buy something because it’s cheap but buy something because you need it! Get it? I’m sure you are smart enough. If you don’t understand then I can call you “STUPID”!
