The People of Penang Documentary & Interview.
The Departed's Architect. A story of a small business, Paper Effigies Maker located at Lebuh Macallum 檳城五條路.

Zhizha 紙紮 (or Taoist paper art, Hokkien Gor-Zhua 糊紙行業) is a type of traditional craft, mainly used as offerings in Taoist festive celebrations and funerals. It had become a widely accepted element in religious practice since Northern Song Dynasty. It now faces a gradual loss of craftsmanship due to related environmental concerns and weakened superstitions.
Location: 358 亚服糊纸店, Pangsapuri Pelangi, Lebuh Macallum, Georgetown, 11700, Pulau Pening.

TIME Home Broadband Internet

Makavelic — Mon, 26 Aug 2013 18:38:22 +0800

I have two houses in Penang. One uses Streamyx 4MB and another one uses TIME 15MB Home Fiber Broadband.
Honestly, I love TIME FIBER A LOT! No problem on torrenting and surfing China websites.
WHILE TM Screamyx 4MB just pissed me off 99.
First off, torrent throttling (if you're about to advise me to get a VPN service, I'd say thank you first, I don't wanna use an alternative way in order to get what I should be having. Free VPN worked but not since 2 weeks ago, I've been using free vpn for couple of months ever since TM throttles me torrent.)
How I wish I could change that screamyx to TIME but TIME is not available in that area

However, TIME Home Broadband is available. The only thing I concerned about is gaming and torrent. I play D2 a lot and some other online games on Steam platform. I wish there won't be any packet losses or high pings when I was gaming. (Tried Maxis and Yes. Comment -> )
I would wanna listen to your advise or anyone who has experienced on Time Home Broadband.
Currently interested in Time 6MB Broadband.

Time Fiber and Unifi (Subang house) provide very good service to me so far.

Thank you for spending time on reading this thread.

Update (27th August 1:13PM)

Dear Maybank, Am I Good To Buy Online Or Not?

Makavelic — Fri, 24 May 2013 03:46:22 +0800

Okay, let me declare the earlier story first.

Yesterday morning I went Maybank to open a saving account. I wasn't a Maybank user but a CIMB card holder. I was told that recently once you've create an account, you'll have a VISA debit card as well and MSOS will be automatically activated.

When I've done everything, I went home and tried to do some online transaction. I added some funds to my Steam Wallet, around RM180 converted and satu kali spent all of funds n a night. Everything was fine and I felt quite satisfied.

And then the next morning, I was trying to add some funds again. But I tried several times and steam showed me "An unexpected error has occurred. Your purchase has not been completed." So just now one hour ago, I hooked up Maybank Customer Call service, don't know how to officially name it -.-
And then 25 minutes of toot-toot finally someone picked up and answered my waiting. I explained everything to her and she told me that I didn't not activate MSOS which is why I was unable to proceed the transaction, I asked her twice about Macam Mana last night I boleh guna untuk beli barang?! She just said nevermind, I'll help you to activate and double confirm your phone number, you'll receive a message soon (Until now I still have not received any message pun) That was around 2:34 according to my computer time, I tried to add funds steam wallet while on the phone call with customer service at the same time, also cannot successful as well, she told me you'll need to wait for a moment amd during 12-1am and 3-4am you'll not be able to do any transaction online.

Guess I need to wait for the next morning to check already. I tak tau. Feel like kena main. Luckily it's not urgent. And I just linked my card to paypal, waiting them to send me the pp code.

Midnight tak boleh tidur, come here and tokok only.

Just wondering did anyone facing this problem before or am I doing it wrong?

WHY EVERYDAY PUN ADA ITU DEBIT ADVICE SALE DEBIT??!?!?

Don't advise me to call their service again. wonder if anyone knows mengapa macam tuuuu.

TIME Fiber Unlimited GoodToBe?

Makavelic — Sat, 02 Feb 2013 13:17:47 +0800

Hello guys. I'm currently on Streamyx 4MB and the upload speed really f***ed me up a lot. For example, if anyone of my house is uploading a video, then the line is gonna be very very worst. I'm thinking to make an upgrade now or switching to other broadband service. I've read some reviews and feedback from here and from my friends, most of the people are still agree that UNIFI is the best choice.
Someday, I randomly saw an ads and clicked into it, this is what I found

Let's take the cheapest package by TIME to compare.
TIME Fiber 8MB up/down for RM129 (unlimited) + 50MB Boost. TIME website INFO
Streamyx 8MB down, (Not Sure how many up) (unlimited) + flat rate phone call Streamyx WebsiteINFO

To me I'd go for TIME if their quality and stability are the same. Just out of curiosity, if anyone is currently on TIME bb now?

Thank you in advance
