Yeah you guessed it right BU 7 is where I stay… =)

Bad news for gamers perhaps? Cause ping for wireless is inevitably higher than a fixed line. But other than that, download speed is really impressive.

The only prerequisite is that your area has a strong signal strength (mine’s pretty solid). And coverage as well (soon expanding) Other than that, Stream-X has a new strong competitor. Furthermore, 2Mbps coming soon for iZZi =)

If you are a very mobile laptop user who always goes out and needs the internet anywhere minus the hotspots and the phone lines, then iZZi is for you. iZZi is a wireless mobile broadband which does not need the phone lines or hotspots to function. Besides that, if you are really fed up with what TM Nut is giving you with Stream-X and want a new connection for your home or to power your hotspot in your business, then iZZi is a very good alternative choice.

Three packages now available:
1) iZZione: PCMCIA Slot Modem: RM 66 per month (for older laptops)
2) iZZiyou: USB Device Modem: RM 98 per month (for newer laptops and desktops)
3) iZZipro: Ethernet and LAN Device (which can be connected to another router to make it wireless): RM 118 per month

One-off activation fee of RM82. Modem charge is included in the first year monthly charge.

For now, coverage is limited to the Klang Valley only. Expanding to Penang, JB, Malacca very soon.
No waiting period. Visit my booth at Giant KJ Hypermarket, pay via credit card, cash or cheque, register online and take it home to use instantly.
Easy Payment Plan for 12 months 0% interest available for all major credit cards (except CIMB and OCBC)

Yes, yes. I am a Malaysian. So what. I would vote for Obama if I were an American. NO questions asked.

Firstly, Obama is a great orator. Just listen to him speak, and you can’t help but feel inspired and lifted. He is a man who perhaps has not proven track record, but nevertheless so did Abraham Lincoln, who is regarded as the finest President America ever had. What the world needs now is a President who can change things for the better and unite the people.

Secondly, I believe that Obama is a man of integrity and is running for the Presidency not as a matter of personal ambition but for the benefit of America and its people. Obama is the man of my choice and I believe that he will prevail over the next caucuses despite a slight loss to Hillary in New Hampshire. He did it in Iowa, he can do it in America. The world really needs a President who believes in humanity, not war, as Obama does. As Obama says it,”Yes, We Can!”

Even when Hillary led in the many months before the primaries, I supported Obama. He gives me confidence, no matter how falsely placed it might be. To me, Hillary is old-school, and for a youngster like me, Obama speaks volumes of hope to the world. I have faith that Obama will pull through and become the first African American President of the United States.

May God let the best candidate win!

Go Obama!

Well into my new job (fifth day), I can conclude that doing sales is a tough job. One needs to stand for hours on ones toes, approaching many people only to be declined multiple times. To date, I have settled three sales, but there were days with no sales at all. So life is tough. All along school has been like a “small heaven” where everything is ideal and prospects are always bright. Welcome to the new world. The working world. Or at least for me, a foretaste of  it.

But the good thing is that I have faith in my product, as any good salesman would have. (Wireless broadband minus the phone lines and hotspots) I like the product and would not hesitate recommend it. No, I am not a good salesman yet, but I have picked up many tips and pointers along the way. Each sale is worth RM 1000 plus, hence it is not easy to solicit sales, especially when it deals with amounts as much as this. People need to think, and when they think too much, they end up not buying.

Another thing which I never bothered until now was all the people whom I have been meeting in my life asking me to buy something. Now I know that they are all tired, as I was. It doesn’t matter if you do not buy from me but surely some kindness or a “Thank You” would be great for a salesman who did not manage to sell something the whole day. Now that I have stepped into the shoes of a salesman, I can see the other side of the picture now. Next time when you see a salesman, decline politely or listen for a while if you have interest. Ignoring me totally is kinda rude, but as a salesman, I can take it too. But some kindness or a smile won’t hurt.

I can bet that starting a business is worse than doing sales. Anyway, businesses will have to deal with sales, there’s no running away from it. So Ern Sheong, still want to start your own company? …

Very very fun. Felt like I did it before when I went from house to house during the Scouts Job Week doing odd jobs for people. Also felt like it was the two weekends in Singapore during mid-2006 when I sought donations from the public for 9 hours a day for two weekends.

But this time it was different. I am doing this as a job, and also for a financial reward. That makes a load of difference, and yet it does not make any difference from what I had done before in my past student life.

Nonetheless, it was very very tiring. Standing for eight hours straight with a 20 minute break for lunch can do some harm to the legs. But it was worth it perhaps. Sealed two sales today plus a lot of follow-up numbers to contact in a few days time.

Let’s hope that the job will be more fun as the days continue. =)

I just started a countdown on my Facebook profile.

Yes, it’s 90 days (roughly) to the DECISION Day and this day would totally change my outlook for the future.

No doubt, the altitude of a man is not defined by the school that he goes to, and I believe that one does not need to go to a prestigious U to do well in life. For an aspiring entrepreneur, I believe that what matters the most is the willingness to take risks and fail, for failures will be all but inevitable.

OK, I am rambling about nothings; I would love to go to the Entrepreneurship Us such as Stanford, but we’ll see how the drama unfolds next.
