Lunaticg Duit Syiling Giveaway

Went to Bank Negara via KTM light-heartedly last week with an intention to purchase a set of Malaysia's new coins intended for circulation next year and of course, to see the money museum. Well, that might be the last time I will ever set foot onto BNM. I took the wrong turn when I walked out from the station and had to walk an entire round around the premise before I see the entrance (They have no signboards). To my agitation they informed me that the Bank Museum is closed and has shifted to a new building somewhat a walking distance from the Bank. I went without hesitation and arrived with intense heart palpitation and perspiration. Walking distance, right.. It feels like I've walked the whole of the Great Wall of China, up the Himalayas, across Sahara, under scorching hot sun! My patience worn off when I arrived at the new building.. They called it the Kijang Complex, if I spelled it correctly; It is yet to be ready for visits! Well, to sum the day up, I went home empty handed, disappointed and exhausted. I wanted the set very badly and I hope I can win the "Duit Syiling Giveaway" competition organised by http://lunaticg.blogspot.com/2011/08/duit-syiling-giveaway.html! I think I deserve to win after going through all these!

Wilson, Ashley and Vicky you guys can join too!!

New Year New Changes!

As I have noted, I have not been updating this blog as often as I did previously. My internet connection has failed me tremendously and I am only permitted to post to the extent our beloved Maxis Broadband would allow. Such service defeats the entire purpose of having a subscription. Just as I am typing this out I see this:

Could not contact Blogger.com. Saving and publishing may fail. Retrying...

So much for having myself a monthly commitment of a smacking MYR98. They have very good marketing strategies. You will have superb speed during the first month of subscription; the friendly services and great connectivity last only as long as your cooling off period in your contract between you and your beloved Maxis. Oh yes, I have yet to comment on the statistics they show. Very impressive, really; the graph will be sky rocketing while you have been refreshing your page since forever. There is a quota or limit to each and every subscription; and the graph is developed even when your page says 'webpage is not available'. Complaints will not, I mean never work. I get more agitated when I compare it to the services provided abroad.

These are a matter of opinion and written through experience of using their service. No intention is present to promote or demote their monopoly in the market.

Having said this, I will still try to commit to posting a couple of new and existing collections once in a while when the connection seems to serve the purpose of having the World Wide Web. A new approach will be adopted; more details of the coins will be given.
