Oh… If you guys sometimes do strike up a chat session with me in Gmail and I didn’t entertain you, please don’t hate or think that I ignore you. Once I logged in my Gmail, I usually will just let it there without closing the window and not bothering to change my status in there because I’m don’t bother about the chat function hahaha… So if you did send a chat to me, I won’t know unless it happens that I go to check my mail. Just to let you know 🙂

I’m sure many of you know that Maxis 3G is here in Kuching now. Previously only Celcom, now Maxis is in. When will be DiGi turn? To promote this new service of Maxis, they have a mini exhibition at Tun Jugah. I went there yesterday night. Not sure how long it will last.


You can find out more on what 3G can do for you there.


You’ll be given a card and several brochures by the promoters when you are there. The card is for you to explore the stations at the exhibition. There are 4 stations(or 5… Forgot :P), when you are in each station, they will show you what you can do with Maxis 3G. You can play games, watch TV, monitor your home with your mobile phone and what else? Hehehe… I didn’t really pay attention to it 😛 I’m sure you can learn more from Maxis. Just to let you know that, this Maxis is not related to the Maxis that develop the game called The Sims. Hehehe… That’s one of my favourite games. However, you can play this Maxis game with Maxis 3G 😛 Got confused already?

After station hopping, you will need to fill in your particulars in the card and then they will give you a free gift. Guess what? It’s a PEN(photo on the right)! 😛 Hahaha…

Here are some details about Maxis 3G in Kuching from The Borneo Post:

Maxis 3G is backed by Maxis high speed EDGE network which covers 69.7 per cent of Kuching. The City currently has 90.5 per cent 2G coverage, and 3G is three times faster than EDGE and six times faster than GPRS.

Kuching is now totally covered by Maxis high speed network and its coverage encompasses more than half of the city. The areas covered included Petra Jaya, Pending Industrial Area, the town centre (Padungan and commercial hub), Batu Tiga and Tabuan.

TOWN?!!?!? We are downgraded to TOWN now. Ah well…
