p1 wimax blinking

This was my first time my p1 wimax blinking for so long - almost half an hour.. After few days of using the p1 wimax, my impression on p1 wimax is the line is just ok. Look at my snap shot I taken on the screen :

I always get weak signal strength

Very seldom to get good signal strength

Just now around 9.30 pm the p1 modem's light was blinking non stop.. Sometimes red, sometimes orange and sometimes green..

I am very frustrated at that time as I want to use internet.. I login to the modem setup page, showed Dev State (connected) and Mac State (Normal) but the light was blinking..

After half an hour, the light had became stable on orange.. I never get stable green light before..

If you were facebook games fan, you better think twice subscribing this p1 wimax as most of the time, I always get connection failed during playing the facebook game.. However, for normal surfing internet, the p1 wimax does the job well..

More reviews on p1 wimax..!! 3 days to go to end my 7 days trial..

No Free "Meal"

Just now, I checked my student's account statement at UUM Portal, found out that yesterday (25 January 2010) all UUM students were charged RM 60.00 for the bus services..

This was hampering me as few days ago, I heard from my block's representative said everyone needs not to pay any cents for the bus services this semester and he encouraged us to fully utilize the services..

The bus fee was charged under the "410 Kitaran Kampus" dated 25/01/2010..

RM 60.00 is a big amount to be paid and the bus company would gain "insane" profit for this semester as the fee was charged to every student as compared to last semester only certain students were paying the bus fee..

The RM 60.00 is still owing to the Bendahari (Treasurer) and we need to pay to them or else we won't be allowed to view our final exam results or were banned from accessing the add/drop courses..

p1 wimax

Today, I subscribed for p1 wimax - 7 days trial as I want to see whether my hostel able to get strong internet connection.. After 7 days, if I am not satisfy with the internet speed, I can give the modem back to the agent and get back my RM 100.00 registration fee.. if I am satisfy with the connection, I will continue subscribing and will have to pay RM 60 for activation fee + RM 49 advanced + current month fee..

I subscribed the p1 RM 49 monthly plan from my university agent and within an hour, my line was activated as I received a sms to confirm my activation..

Very big box

Modem + WiFi + Adapter + Lan Cable + Quick Guide

The signal quality always stay at middle (Good condition)

Speed test from www.p1.com.my

ping www.google.com

Normal download speed but very terrible upload speed

get C for the pingtest

Alor Setar Tower

As the Alor Setar Tower is a exchange partner of AIESEC UUM, we were given a special treatment when we visited the Alor Setar Tower on Sunday..

We had the chance to go up to the top roof of the Alor Setar which is barred and no one is allowed to go inside..

This is the spot where the base jumper will jump from the top of the Alor Setar Tower

Lye Huat Garden

On 17 January, I with my UUM AIESECers & interns from different countries went outside the UUM for a day trip.. Our first destination was Lye Huat Garden which locates in between Jitra and Changlun.. It is a very popular destination to be before going to Thailand..

Puncak Vista UUM

This morning my friend and I went up to the Puncak Vista located near the DPP Maybank.. This was our first time to climb up this hill.. We were suppose to climb up this hill last year but due to time constraint, we delayed to this semester..

We thought the Puncak Vista is a very huge hill above sea level.. "Mana tau" it was just a small hill.. We took 5 minutes to reach the top using the staircase.. ( ^^; ) lol.. Nothing much that we can view from the top hill - just had a clear view on the Guthrie lake, Stadium, Dewan MAS and DTSO..

We passed by the horse riding area when we're going to have our breakfast at Subaidah, were surprised to see there two horses  :)

The Star Online

Today, I subscribed for The Star e-paper which is a collaboration with the ebrowse.bluehyppo.com

I subscribed for the 1 year (365 days) The Star publication..

I am not only able to catch up to the latest news online and as well from now onwards, I no need to purchase newspaper daily which would cost me RM 1.20 per day as I can read the same newspaper online at a cheaper price estimated RM 0.50 daily..

With this e-paper, I can read newspaper 1 month ago until the latest publication.. The e-paper is available inside the web as early as 6 in the morning..

There are a lot of features for the e-paper such as clip & save, where we can cut any article or pictures inside the newspaper..

I fully recommend this e-paper service for those who wish to read newspaper through electronic and not traditionally..

UUM PC Fair

Here comes again.. PC Fair in University Utara Malaysia (UUM)

Date : 12 January - 16 January 2010

I am looking forward to purchase a USB light as I required it to assist me during my revision in a dark area..

UUM No Water

Haiz.. for few days most residential halls in University Utara Malaysia (UUM) were infected with no water supplies.. So far, I knew DPP MAS, TNB, Proton, EON, Bank Rakyat, and SME  Bank were all facing with this situation..

Things became worst when we have to queue up to take water.. With just one water tab available to be shared by one block residents.. = furious =

We had no choice but to use the fire hydrant to support our water usage.. Now, the water pressure was very low until we had no other choice anymore..

Outside my residential hall has a water tab which is being used by anonymous to fill up the whole truck of water containers with fresh water..

Not just one truck was involved..!! Almost 3 or more trucks were dispatched to fill up the water containers daily.. I am not sure what's the purpose of doing so.. Water stealer.. maybe??

But from what I know was this water tab had water supplies while ours in the residential hall were all dried up.. haiz..

Please take quick action to solve this situation.. It's going to tarnish the university name..!!
