Thats more like it! This morning at the office, our espeed has been upgraded to 3.5mbps and so far I have been pleased with its performance! Multiple internet windows open browsing and downloading and so far it has worked very well. I am very pleased!

Serious Considerations

When it was announced recently that the residential espeed has just gotten cheaper for 512kbps from B$98 to B$68, out of curiosity, I decided to browse the brunet webpage and see if the corporate espeed was also going down. Lo' & behold...have my eyes deceived me? Does it really read 3500kbps (3.5mbps)???? Is this true? I must inquire first thing tomorrow morning and once confirmed, my first agenda is to boost up my espeed to the max at 3.5mbps and cancel my lease line subscription which the company is paying at $350 for a measly 256kbps! Forget about the lease line consistency and it being a dedicated line, hey hey...my logic is leaning very heavily towards maximum output from espeed and despite it being a shared line with other users in its bandwidth pipeline, the positives simply outweighed the feasibility of keeping the lease line any longer. Out goes the lease line and in goes max espeed!

Just hope telbru upgrade it quick! I just can't wait to brace myself and test it. Like Mr Gadgetski always like to use my patented term...it must be super fiiiaaasst! Cheeeap cheeap lagi lah telbru!

Take a look for those interested in the new rates below. Strange...so far I have not heard it being advertised on the media.... ITS NO APRIL'S FOOL I TELLS YAH! Take a look....seerriously!

Kota Kinabalu.....cheeap cheeap!!


Having a sit from our extensive shopping spree at one of the malls near our hotel at the Imperial International Hotel located at the heart of downtown Kota Kinabalu.





Taken at the Sutera Harbour Marina. Even here its so clear! Come here fishy fishy!








Out in the open sea heading for the Manakan Island and Sapi Sapi Island. Lunch was delicious with combination of seafood and meat!







Snorkling with my daughter. Lots of fishy fishy!!! Come 'ere Fishy Fishy! Unfortunately no Nemo found on site. Loads of Dori and other colourful fishy fishy!







Para-gliding in the open sea! One cool ride! Next visit, I must try the sea bed walk and scuba diving!





*Taken with Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX55 digital camera.* Too scared to bring my Nikon D200 SLR for fear of dropping it into the sea. LOL.

Trip via Royal Brunei Airlines is B$76 return, however the taxes cost more at B$77. Can you believe that? But well worth the trip! Take it from me. Yeeeehawww!
