Did Twitter Kills Your Blogging Passion?

Salam and hello everyone. Hope you guys in a great mood and health because it is weekend now. So, cheer up! By the way, title for this entry might tell the reason, why there are lack of updates recently at this blog. Okay, it is not all about Twitter actually even though I have to admit, I’m getting addicted to Twitter now. One of the reasons because I can simply write quick updates easily there just to tell my followers, what I’m doing now? What I’m thinking and reading now? That kind of simple questions somehow do not need me to write a proper entry for it. Agree with me?

Anyway, this entry is the second entry related to Twitter and the purposed is simply need some responses from fellow Twitterers, what do you think about Twitter? Did Twitter kills your blogging passion?

In addition, not all Twitterers are bloggers, some of them are just ordinary people who like to be connected with each other with simplicity of Twitter. Like you use Facebook and Friendster.

After using Twitter about a month, I found out that Twitter is more than just getting connected with each other. You can get more information regarding your interest by following people that suit your interest and maybe from that you can get the idea what to blog. Isn’t it useful?

So, what do you think about Twitter then? Did it kill your blogging passion? Leave your response using the comment form below and for those who yet join Twitter, why not join it today and don’t forget to follow me on Twitter for more “quick updates”.

Telekom Malaysia (TM), Customer Service and Streamyx: My Experience

Salam and hello all. As I have mentioned in my previous entry, I will share with you, my story about Telekom Malaysia and Streamyx. This entry is not supposed to be a condemning or a kind of insulting entry, but this entry is more about to share with others and with hope, this incident won’t be repeated again. So, take it positively.

Okay, if you dig into my entries in last 2 months which here and here, you might know what was the problem that I’m facing. Whatever it is, if you don’t know what was happening last time. Here, I’ll story to you one more time, briefly with time chronology. I hope you’ll be clear about what I’m going to tell you next. This entry might be long, so take your time.

[2 Feb 2009] – I’ve registered my application at TM Point together with deposit payment.
[12 Feb 2009] – I got a call from Streamyx’s agent asking me about my Streamyx’s login ID. I said the phone still not yet installed. Then, he said he’ll make sure the connection will be installed as soon as possible.
[12 Feb 2009] – I saw several vehicles of TM Maintenance Contractor doing some cable replacement at my apartment. Their job done on the next day, 13 Feb 2009.
[19 Feb 2009] – My housemate asked for the reason from TM Point why the connection can’t be made after 1 week of cable replacement. The TM staff provided him with TM Contractor’s phone number that in charge with the installation process.
[20 Feb 2009] – I tried to call the TM Contractor using the phone number provided, but he refused to answer my call and several attempts after have ended with failure.
[22 Feb 2009] – I sent 2 support emails to TM Customer Service and Support via their official website with hope they can reply to me back. My previous case about my internet bill has replied by them when I sent them this support email.
[4 March 2009] – I went to TM Point again to ask them for the reason why the connection can’t be made after 1 month of registration date without valid reason. They said I’m not answering the phone call from their technician. Okay, my phone is switched on 24/7. Due to that, they have made another appointment on 5 March 2009 for the installation process.
[5 March 2009] – I have waited for the whole day, the TM Contractor didn’t show up!
[6 March 2009] - I went to TM Point again for an explanation about what has happened yesterday. They said they don’t know why the contractor didn’t show up and the contractor even didn’t call me for any cancellation of the appointment. The TM staff promised to let me know my application status by next week.
[11 March 2009] – I got a call from TM Point. They told me that the connection can’t be made because the cable has been stolen. What the heck? The new replaced cable has been stolen after 3 weeks of replacement? Ridiculous!

That was the last call from TM Point and I didn’t get any calls after that regarding my application until I received an email from one of this blog readers. There’s more inside, so continue your reading.

Now Everything Paid Off – (Another Version of Quick Updates)

Salam and hello. Long time with no update, huh? I noticed my last post for this blog is about more than one week ago. Sorry to all my dear visitors and readers of this blog, I’m currently working on my new Bahasa Melayu blog at OH!MalaysiaKU. Its another blog by me but the different is, it is delivered in Bahasa Melayu as the main language and the blog is more to current issues, information in IT, entertainment and etc. Anyway, I’ll try to manage both blogs altogether. You can give my new blog a visit and if interested, do leave some of your words there. Ok that’s ends here.

Next, my final exam result already came out and I’ll be in new semester soon, 2nd semester of the 2nd year; and I’m very grateful to know that my target for this semester and one of my resolutions for this year fulfilled. Alhamdulillah. Well, new semester will begin soon and of course promises more challenging things that I need to face. Anyway, I’ll try to face it and get through it. Before I forgot, thanks to those of my friends and blog readers who wished me during my “hibernation” period last time; here and here too. You all have motivated me. Thanks. *Unitenians now can check your result online at our university website.*
