yvonne has internet!

Yay! After months of uncertainties and 2 weeks of total disconnection, I have decided to get certain and connected. I bought this iZZi internet package of 6 months which absorbs the activation fee and also comes with a little iBurst modem. This is what it looks like:

-my iZZi modem-

Oh well, maybe not as small as the Huawei modem which comes with Celcom or Maxis broadband but it is still pretty small nonetheless. About 3 times the size of those but light. Well, they work the same anyways - using USB. I'm not going to go into techy-talk (because I'm not tech-savvy) but OK lah. Pretty fast and this is (as explained by my friend, the sales agent) because they have one of their "base" at my area itself. So signal strength is always 100% here. Whoopie. Well, more info? All I know is the speed is 1Mbps. Not the fastest around but I guess meets my needs and I guess since it is a 6 months package, I could just use it for 6 months and decide later if I want to continue or not. Maybe Celcom and Maxis broadband would improve later on and have better rates by that time? hmmm. And then maybe DiGi will come around with good deals and say it's Time to Change. Till then, for the next 6 months, I shall be an iZZinet user.

And I like the orange. :)


Whatever. As long as I don't need to drag my laptop to the lobby and listen to little kids squel in absolute delight as they play in the swimming pool everytime I need to check my email or worse to post an entry.


Anyways, I like to squel too when I was a kid playing in the pool. I really don't do that anymore now.


The weather has been horrible lately and one don't get to see squeling kids at the pool. Rain and more rain. Dampening my spirits. Plus my office has become even colder now.

-My usually sun-beamed desk has been gloomily cold-

Anyways, some update about work. We had another successful party/outing for our deserving staff who have done their job well and made guests feel so happy they decided to write a good comment. This time, we went to Pavilion! Conveniently nearby and full of entertainment possibilities, Pavilion was such a good idea. We didn't even need to rent a bus.

We went to Kenko Fish Spa!

-oooh-

-here fishy, fishy, fishy...-

-very nice interior design with instrumental background music-

-some of my deserving colleagues-
Us: We're coming!
Fishes: Wah, buffet!

-I get a free dip too! *squel!*-

ahem.
There were big fishes and small fishes. The small ones were very ticklish while the big ones sort of mean serious business about eating our dead skin cells. The small ones were so small that sometimes I imagine them getting trapped in the hair of some of our more hairy-legged friends.

-my colleague iyzaccq whose feet were so popular amongst the fishes that wherever he sits, the others will not have fishes munching at their feet-

Yvonne: Where are the fishes?!
Iyzaccq: Nah, nah, give you some... *lifts feet from water*

and the mass school of fishes started to swim over to other people's feet.

Yvonne: I think you have a lot of dead skincells

We were required to wash and scrub our feet before even thinking of going near these little underwater friends. While dipping, sometimes we saw the fishes rise up to the surface to sort of gasp for air and I wonder if it was the smell of 20 over people dipping in at the same time. Like it was too much to take. Hehe!

-shiny naturally exfoliated feet-

Anyways, it was very relaxing and after the 30 minutes dip, we proceeded to Red Box Plus to sing our hearts out.

-Bringing RedBox to a new height-

Speaking of RedBox, I joined some of my trainees to RedBox in conjunction with their last training day with us and boy, did they bring karaoke experience to a new height.

we sang... yes...

-JonJon doing some tribal thing, I think-

But I think dancing was the main objective sometimes...

-WeeJian: shu shang de xiao niao pi...-

I never thought that we would be so... so cabaret in RedBox. Oh well, anywhere Jon goes, there will be some sort of dancing or shaking going on. He must have worked for the Moulin Rouge troupe in his previous life.


Apart from these, we also had a bowling tournament thanks to my colleague Bin who patiently organizes these sport activities. All his hard work paid off when we saw the teamwork and the joyful atmosphere as we almost filled up the whole bowling alley.

This dude even managed to pose while I snapped! lol!

And we lifted one of our dear colleagues who was leaving for Maldives the next day.

All the best, Tony!
