Prepaid for maps : Digi vs alt (like U mobile)

son of God — Wed, 31 Dec 2014 23:24:51 +0800

Hi.

I need to get a prepaid sim card that allows high speed and good coverage for data. I don't mind P1 and other portable small modems but they're a hassle and need to be charged separately. Not to mention p1's coverage ain't so great.

This is mainly for my use of internet on the road, when I'm driving. Mostly on West Coast Peninsular. But I rather have coverage for the most of Semanjung. I checked that Digi don't seem to have that bad coverage. My bro uses U-mobile on his tablet and the speed is terrible IMO.

Think of this as a mainly Waze/Google Maps platform, with the occasional google search on places and things and contacting friends on whatsapp(even this is not required).

I've been a bit spoilt because I have been overseas for 5-odd years and while I complain all the time about internet, the low speed there is nowhere as low as the speed here. Malaysia has crazy slow internet although it's only a small nation.

Thoughts?

tour agency Great Wall China & Terracotta Warrior

Hi.

I'm thinking of visiting the Terracotta Warriors and Great Wall of China. Which tour agency based in Malaysia, goes to both/either?

If they don't have one, how do you reckon we should go to both places, not knowing any Chinese languages except select swear words?

Old mattress - how to dispose ?

Good morning peeps.

Let's say I wanna get rid of a 10-year mattress that gives backache. Bad idea to donate it to people who need mattresses, however a good idea to give it to someone who wants to modify it for some innovative purposes, or even use it for some other purpose.

Where can I give it away? I can't actually hire a lorry so someone has to pick it up.

Let's say I call the Municipal Council, what kind of trash is this considered?

BM I tak okey sangat so cuba jawab in simple BM(x faham many shortforms for eg) or English alright.

kuaci - where did the word come from?

So a friend of mine is adamant that kuaci is derived from a Chinese word 'kua che' or something like that. I don't know Chinese(except for select swear words) and have always pronounced it as 'kua chi'. over time I knew that the english word for it is actually sunflower seed(though it ain't a seed more a fruit or achene).

Thoughts?
