Spent the weekend in Lahad Datu, for a dive trip with my mom, cousin and her boyfriend. We didn’t know that there are many dive sites that we can dive at, nor the many places that we could visit. I guess most of us Sabahans thinks of Lahad Datu as the palm oil plantation area, not many interesting things to see. A dead town. But no, for nature lovers, there are plenty to see indeed. Thanks to our uncle Myday for telling and showing us these nice places.

Since we didn’t get to go to many places, didn’t get to do many other things during our very short visit, we are planning on another trip to Lahad Datu next year. If we go by SUV would be a great idea I think. But that means having to think about motor home repairs on the go, as it would be quite a long journey by road. Nevertheless, we will be there again one way or another.

The dive operator that we went diving with. Will tell more next time.

The travel bug has set in. Now, I need to do a new budget for next year in order to have some cash set aside to tame the travel bug in me. Ah, just can’t wait for the debts to be cleared. 2012, please bless me with better financial situation.

Six months ago, I was really active with helping out SPCA KK. So my cousin, who is still one of the backbones of Animal Welfare Unit (AWU) team, insisted that I sign up as a supplementary under her company’s plan. So I did, taking along my 4 other supplementary lines. My cousin said, the agent told her that the plan is not much difference than the personal plan and it will only be 6-months tenure should I feel like changing the plan again.

Fast forward to 5 months later. Over the months, we found that it is much more expensive than it was before, on top of losing the free SMS and MMS between the principal and supplementary lines! Yes, we all have Whatsapp, BUT with us living at Digi’s dead zones, well almost, the free SMS and MMS do comes in handy. At my area, there’s only GPRS connection and sometimes NONE at all. I tweeted to @Digi_Telco, but did I get any response? No! Too lazy to email them again to complain – falling on deaf ears anyway. Anyhow, since it’s already been six months, called up the agent that signed us up, asking on what’s the procedure to change back to personal lines. She said that she’ll check if we have any contract left and promised to get back to me. Did she? No she didn’t! So f*** this Brenda, the agent!

So I took matters into my own hand, got the letter from the company to release the numbers and re-registered. Found out that 2 of my supplementary lines still have another 6 months contract! WTF! That stupid agent didn’t inform me of this, she only said 6 months! I guess she thought whatever it takes to sign up new numbers and get the commission. Lie if she must. So I just paid of the RM100 penalty for each number (yes, lost RM200!) and switched to personal plan. This means I will never have to deal with her again. Too bad my cousin relies on agents to get things done, so people like this still have jobs waiting for them! Even with their incapability to do things right and nor doing her job. No after sales service.

I downgrade my plan from SmartPlan 68 to 48, I rely on my Maxis line to get on the net from home anyway. Yes, lately a lot of my friends complains that the Yellow Man doesn’t follow us everywhere like he should. Widest coverage my foot. But that is still okay, I am still a loyal customer because I like the customer service even though the plans could be improved. What got to me is that stupid Digi agent and her attitude! This is the type of agent that will make Digi loses business. And the limited Internet coverage! BUDUH!

URTI: Upper Respiratory Tract Infection. That’s what got to me, but the tonsil are so inflamed, I’m still down with fever for the 4 days now. I’ve been contemplating of having my tonsil removed altogether, such an inconvenience each time I’ve got the flu. The part that I hate most is when I feel so cold, down to the bones with the fever that comes with it. I think I’m going to need some north face jackets to keep me warm as I’m now using 3 layers of clothing to keep myself comfortably warm anyway.

I’m tired of taking the medicines and also tired of eating plain porridge too. But what can I do, that’s the only food that I can bear to swallow at the moment. Trying my best not to cough my lungs out too, as whenever I cough, I feel as if my throat is being ripped opened by a sharp knife. Painful beyond words. I hope this sickness will go soon. I need to be all healthy for my diving trip to Lahad Datu this coming 16th-18th December 2011. C’mon antibody, work your ass off!

Three years ago, I went for a weekend getaway with my good friends to Kundasang and stayed at this really nice chalet. But now, I am getting really annoyed with all these idiots out there who wants shortcuts in everything they do, including looking for a place to stay for their own blardy getaway to Kundasang! I bet they Google, got the link into my blog, saw the photos, click the comment button and ASK ME FOR THE RATES OF THAT PLACE! WITHOUT BLARDY READING THE CONTENTS!

I politely then towards the end sarcastically replied their comments, telling them that I do not own the place. But as I keep on getting these type of question, I started deleted them right away. As of today, I put on a disclaimer in bold, red font! Think about this, if one really does want to find a good place to stay and needs the price and confirmation fast, at least be sure that they got the right channel to do so right? Unless they are just some idiots who just have nothing better to do other than annoying the cyber community!

These two idiots are the unlucky ones left in the blog, deleted the others

If these people really were looking for a place to stay, I bet they act the same way in person: opening their mouth to say something just for the sake of having something to say, without using their pea-sized brains. IF they have any that is. Freakin’ idiots!
