A new kind of Monopoly

Recently, a new technology startup in Malaysia, Fibre@Home introduced their product to consulting engineers here in Perunding PLA Sdn. Bhd. It is actually an electronic device which takes in the information from other Fibers Companies like TIME, Maxis, Celcom, ASTRO IPTV and TMNET Unifi, and delivers to home customers at a speed of not more than 100Mb per second.

Fiber@Home seems like a unique idea, but it is already implemented in Europe 10 years ago, so basically it is a technology-transfer process. But since Fiber@Home is the only company that use the system, it might create a new form of monopoly where every home owners in Malaysia need to use the Fiber-integrated system.

Pros
1) It is very easy to use and convenient as we only need to login out account in Fiber@Home website and subscribes to channels we like.
2) The speed is very fast(at least as promised).

Cons
1) Additional cost will be added to the subcription fees of internet usage.
2) Who to blame when the system breakdown? (Fiber@Home or the Fiber Companies?)

peer pressure..

1) When I was in my secondary school, I always came across the word peer pressure. I don't actually get the meaning of it that time.

2) Now I am in University, some of my friends get scholarships, some go to UK for their studies. At some point, I feel left out.

3)It is fun to have a boyfriend or girlfriend, but when you don't have it or never have it, you feel the pressure. You feel alone, just as the word single suggest..

4) Humans' heights are largely depends on gene. But sometimes, people just treat it as personal achievement. Tall people tend to look smarter and at the advantage side...

5) All these is regarded as peer pressure, at least I think so.~

Resistance in Life

1) If you have ever count the resistors in a circuit board, you will find these components far outnumbered other electronics components such as transistors, Integrated Circuit, and so on.

2) This happens in life too. Everyday, we will face lots of obstacles (analogy to resistor in circuit). But, I am sure all these obstacles happen for a reason. They not only test our ability to move on despite great resistance, they also prevent us from running into big trouble. Just imagine there are no resistor in a electric circuit, the LED will easily get burned. So does our life. We can easily get into trouble if there are no rules and failures.

What thing in this world is free?

When you get something without paying anything, it is free. Yet, it is so hard nowadays to get something free.

You go to primary school and secondary school, yeah, it is free education. Yet, we still need to buy textbooks, exercise books and stationery. We then reach University. Here, we have to pay more.

Now, back to the question, What thing in this world is free? The easiest answer is family love and supports. The unconditional help from family since our birth, is the special force that keep this world going. ~

Lee Chong Wei!!!!

Malaysian Hero, Dato Lee Chong Wei just beat Lin Dan in 3 sets in Korean Open 2012. He won Lin Dan once for every year for 9 consecutive years. Can he surpass his own record in London Olympic 2012?

tennis

Last year, Novak Djokovic certainly was the Man of The Year for tennis. He won 3 out of 4 Grand Slams (Australia Open, Wimbledon and US Open) . He also became No 1 in the ATP ranking, dethroned Nadal.


2012 will be an exciting year for tennis. Rafael Nadal, who is seen as the contender for Greatest Tennis of All Time will definitely find a way back to his best. And Djokovic ( Djoker) can only become a more complete player on court. And can Roger Federer bring back his best form in 2012?

We as tennis fans can only wait for big matches to begin. ~
