Internet and the update

Posted on by

If you haven’t notice, I actually update my twitter (or Facebook status) quite often nowadays. This is because GPRS fee is very very low in Medan. With only Rp. 10,000 I get 15MB of usage for a month, that is equal to RM3.20. If you’re using any of Malaysia mobile telcom services, 15MB should cost you like, RM15 at least. I am talking about prepaid card here, not the postpaid.
Medan road
Obviously, Indonesia is on their step onto Internet, and been making a big progress here this few years. I came and back Medan from time to time for the past 4 years, Speedy (the connection I’m using now) has an impressive speed, the 1mbps is way faster than any of Malaysia ISP, sad! Some more want to claim whatever traditional with Indonesia, stop embarrassing yourself, Malaysia.

Anyhow, I still not feeling too comfortable being here. Not sure it is the environment or the habit changes… I still prefer to give myself whole lots of freedom to come and go at a place :P Can’t complaint much in Medan here, since the Internet is very good with me, the services like motorhome towing also very quick to avoid traffic jam, and of course, the affordable GPRS usage (I get to online using my mobile phone anytime anywhere). But somehow, it’s not easy for me to survive here, at and inside a house most of the time you know…

The body then the doctor

It has been a week since I’m having the itchy problem, without a reason. This morning I went to see doctor again, get my urine tested and some flu testing, it makes me so nervous that I thought I’m going to get a full DNA testing. Keep asking me about my drinking issue and smoking issue. I don’t know how many times I’ve repeated that I don’t have drinking habit but I have smoking habit and I don’t feel ill from time to time. Sigh… Still the urine test nothing out, maybe because I just had my breakfast?!
Itchy
Anyway, there were tales about how you can stop it being itchy. To scratch a mark, and it has a few version.

  • Mark #, so you will wrap the itchy area and it will eventually stop feeling itchy.. Bullshit!
  • Mark +, as a crosshair targeted to the itchy area so it will stop feeling itchy… Bullshit!
  • Mark *, almost the same as the + mark, but again… Bullshit!

Seriously, I wonder how much naive those kids can be long time ago… And yet, I am practicing it now? Kan! Back to work now…

It is actually tiring

I thought it should be easy and quick on wedding photo shooting, the only thing that is going to take most of the time is just makeup or some hair styling. It turned out to be 7 hours for today shooting period, there’s another outdoor shooting on Thursday :?
Shooting day one
Arriving at 9.30am this morning, wait and wait until my girlfriend had her gown ready and we went to another building (the studio was on another side). With my model-alike-body I actually didn’t take much time on fitting my dress whereas my girlfriend have had her fitting day way earlier. Waiting for Thursday now, hopefully it’s not going to take another 7 hours? Though the location she choose was like Genting highland, cool and windy, but posing and adjustment my body position is really killing me…

Some allergic happening

Location
I think it happen due to the weather changes or so. If you did not notice, you can check into Malaysia map, according to the geographical location of Selangor (Puchong precisely), Malacca and Medan, Sumatra Indonesia. They are all located on different latitude, their weather is very different.

I got this itchy body for few days already, no idea what happening, but went for a Chinese sifu and he told me it’s because the weather is not good. I have to say, everytime I step to Medan I will fall ill, even the smallest matter like soar throat. Coming here is like a drug rehab for me, I don’t smoke that much as well :P But still fall ill because of not smoking enough? Hmm…
Heritage SPA
Anyway, went to spa just now, what a Sunday morning :) Going to love this place soon… By the way, it’s the third time I went to those massage center in this week, am I addicted to it or what?!

5 hours from now

Flight
Still awaking now :P Not planning to sleep yet, since my flight is 5 hours later, going to sleep in the plane like usual, and have a great time at home online. It’s been a week I did not came back to my room for more than 3 hours, tonight I have another 5 hours to go :)

Just a rephrase of some stupid things I did few days back:

Missed the “1″

RM161 shirt
Went to bought some clothing for the photo shooting next week. So we all walk around Sungei Wang, thought to higher my budget to RM100 for the shirt, so I walked into XEX, never heard of the history of the shop, but the sell person kept telling me about it is local made and by local designer and etc. Since Mega Sale is still on, so I thought with some discount I could actually lower my “high” budget, but I missed the “1″ after the “RM” so the shirt costing me a freaking RM161, vomit blood right after I paid, serious!

Missed the key

Key
I’m pretty sure the hotel receptionist did not hand us the key, and covered it with the receipt on top of the “key”. My girl friend did not check and bother about it, she grabbed the whole receipt together with the “key” and went to the car and took out the luggage, and after checking twice, the “key” was gone. Well, when registering, I saw the plat without the key already. What is more fishy is that:

  1. They did not provide steps on claiming the lost of key (if assume we lost the key)
  2. Did not bother about us on the key expecting us to go to the room (by what?!)

Fishy, but I am all up to them now, charge me if they really think we lost the key.

Missed the click

While booking the (today) air ticket, I did not change the time according to my girl friend flight, and to make the matter worst, I clicked on the earliest first flight on 7.45 am. That is what I am still here. So there will be 2 trips to the airport.

Seriously, how much stupid or careless I can be?
