My New Gadget

I've gotten myself a PSP.


An additional 4GB of MSPD stick.


The reason I got myself a PSP.


And the reason for the excessive use of the internet. I've downloaded a chock-full of games from the internet (this one is a modded PSP, so, there is no need to use the designated UMD).

P/s So many games to download now yet so little time to play.

Back To Normal

As from this month onward, my internet connection are back to normal. The reason for the slowdown previously was due to the usage exceeding the limit allowance given during the peak time of only 20GB. My mistake because I've never bothered to check my daily usage of it till this problem arise during the middle of August, last month. It was really a painstaking experience since the connection will automatically changed to a mere 256KB/s once we exceeded the limit. Talk about slow.
Interesting point here is I've never really fully utilized the off-peak period of 40GB before and it is really a waste (since I'm paying quite a handsome monthly fee for it).
Lucky to those who are using Streamyx in Malaysia since they do not have any limit for their monthly usage.
Why this things happen??? There are two reasons for the excessive usage of the internet last month and I'll explain it later (this entree also act as a reminder to me to ALWAYS monitor my daily usage).

I've exceeded the given limit of 20GB during the peak period.

Sharp rise during the month of August 2008 compared to the other months.

P/s Full speed ahead.

Free Foods

By the way, this happen before Ramadhan (lucky me).
Today, 1st of September 2008.
- Selamat menyambut Hari Kemerdekaan yang ke-51 di Malaysia (it is a public holiday in there).
- First day of spring.
- First day of Ramadhan al-Mubarak.
- Internet connection are back to normal again.

As usual, the best things in life are free. If there's a crowd, it's must be because of the free foods. So, just follow the crowd.


Got free drinks too.

P/s Not much progress for my project yet. BTW, got a phone call from my supervisor asking me whether I would like to 'change' my current project topic or not.
