At the same time I also received my Adsense payment via Western Union.  Seriously, getting paid through Western Union is hassle free. The only thing is, the currency rate was low when I receive my payment. No choice but to take it. At least it’s enough for me to pay for my hosting and domain and few large pizzaz  hahaha…

Only till Sept I submitted a ticket to them, yet there’s no one replied to my ticket. Then I went on emailing them, and again, nobody responded. Till yesterday, I posted another reply on my ticket. Finally someone responded, they apologize for the delay and lack of communication. It’s a very long delay though. =.=”

Anyway, they’re willing to expedite my delayed payment with a direct bank in. Thus, they asked for my details so they could facilitate they payment straight into my bank account. I’m glad they’re willing to help although it been so long since I cashed out my earnings.

Thanks Advertlets~

Bloody Screamyxx just died on me again. Their customer support are so darn stupid trying to avoid calls. It seems that 1300 88 9515 has been engage for the last 25 minutes. Calling 100 didn’t work at all. As soon as you pressed 2 for Internet services. The line just silenced.

WhaT the hell is wrong these moron doing anyway… What’s the point of advertising how good Streamyx is when it is still NO GOOD!

I’ve been hanging on the phone for almost half an hour. All I get is  “Sorry! All our agents are still engage blaa blaa blaaa. and Please ensure that your splitter and modem are connected properly” 

SCREW YOU!!! If it’s not connnected properly, I won’t be calling you TMNUTz at all… Sigh

This afternoon, when I was on the way to Wangsa Maju for my lunch, the LRT jerked again before entering the tunnel near Sri Rampai station. But this time I knew it may not be a technical glitch which I always blame on. There was an article about Platform Intrusion Emergency Stop (PIES) published in The Star newspaper yesterday.

It is said that PIES is one of the safety measures implemented on the Putra LRT Rail. If you happen to be in Melati or Wangs Maju station, you might notice a stretch of red colour plates on the rail track. Beneath these plates are sensors which will activate the emergency stop when there’s anything more than 7kg landed on it.

This system will definately save someone who is dumb enough to fall onto the track and at the same time might also hurt someone who is inside the train when the train jerked.

So kids! Make sure your school bags loaded with textbooks doesn’t falls on it. =p

In my opinion, other than this preventive measures, the management should also implement safety equipment within the coach. Especially the doors. I’ve seen people got clamped between the doors while trying to get out. I personally experienced it once and it hurts.

Lately, Putra LRT has been more likely a public nuisance than a public transport. For the past months, trains has been delayed because of technical errors. Thus causing thousands of people either stranded at the station or in the “sardine can” (train coach packed with people) where you get all sorts of smells. Yuckz!!

Earlier, there was another incident when I was going back home from work. The train was on its way to Setiawangsa. All of the sudden, the emergency brakes were initiated, the wheels screeched. I saw some people were thrown forward. I was lucky that I had something to cling on.

I bet this isn’t the first or the second the LRT hit the emergency brakes. Could it be just technical error? or someone has itchy hands? Sigh..

It was technology versus mother nature this time. A flash of light followed by a loud bang and my AVR (Auto Voltage Regulator) sparkled. I immideatly turned off all my electronic appliances in my apartment. Lucky me! My PC , TV and the modem survived the strike.

After the rain subsided, I trouble-shooted my AVR. Suprisingly, the power sockets are still functioning except for the phone line jack.  From my past experience, I think the spike came through the phone line. Well, at least the AVR stopped the current before hitting my modem. Else I would have take the hassle claiming warranty for both my AVR and modem as I bought it at two different places. =.=”

I guess I’ll have to get to Low Yat to claim warranty for the AVR. At the meantime , I’m surveying for another AVR and some good surge protectors. The only brand I had in mind for now is Belkin. Any recommendations?
