For those, who are still waiting for a better iPhone 4 package, a better and affordable deals. Here comes the Celcom iPhone 4 !
Finally 5th May , the launch of retail iPhone 4 package in Miri. As it’s part of my job to understand into the plan, I think I could be the best person to elaborate the plan to you, who is interested to know it more Please don’t say I’m bias over Celcom, but seriously i think it’s worth to sign up.

Celcom Biz offers 3 package, iBiz 98, iBiz 148 & iBiz 248 . The value of the i , indicates the monthly commitment of the plan. For contract wise, you can go for 12 months or 24 months. By looking at the plan above,  you can actually estimate your personal usage per month.

For my own, I will go for iBiz 148 that’s because my monthly call usage is roughly around that.

• I can have 250 minutes of call to other networks (other than Celcom), which is equals to RM30.
• Most of my contacts are in Celcom networks, which i can enjoy 6000 minutes of Free Call. (Worth for RM720 as per 0.12 sen/min)

How about Data, seriously a lot of people come and tell me, I don’t need a “Data Plan” on my phone because I’ve “Wifi” almost everywhere I go. Think twice before you say this next time, it will be lots more convenient to have a Data plan on your phone.

• For i148 , I can have up to 4gb Data Quota with the speed up to 3.6Mbps.
• If you reach the Quota, you don’t have to pay more, but just the speed will throttle to 128kbps.

Seriously, not everywhere is “Wifi” friendly. Some people when you ask for “Wifi” access code, they are still considering to give or not to give. Certain cases is , even if you are connected to it’s Wifi, come’on it’s totally not moving. With Data plan, you can twit, you can FB, you can FourSquare, you can Blog, you can do whatever , anytime , any place you like.

So, What to pay during the 1st payment?

• Device payment + Upfront Payment
• Price varies by package and contract terms – (Refer to Chart)

What is Upfront Payment for?

• It’s not deposit, it’s just paying in “ADVANCE”.
• No, it doens’t mean on the 1st month you get it all rebate back on your 1st bill.
• It actually divides by the months of your contract terms.

EG 1 : Biz i148 – (12 months) : Device RM1288 + Upfront RM 300 = RM1588

• Upfront RM300 / 12 months = RM25
• Monthly Bill : RM148 – RM25 = RM123 ++

EG 2: Biz i148  - (24 months)  : Device RM848 + Upfront RM600 = RM 1448

• Upfront RM600 / 24 months = RM25
• Montly Bill : RM148-RM25 = RM123++

Now you get the whole picture, actually 12months or 24months does not give much difference. So what’s the point to get you stay for 24 months?

• Extra Warranty ! Yes, you don’t have to pay more but you get extra 1 year warranty for your lovely iPhone4

Or if you really love your iPhone, and you scare of losing it, then get an Insurance for your phone. HOW?

• Subscribe iBiz 248 plan, then you can enjoy FREE 12 Months Insurance Coverage for Attended Theft, Accidental Damage or Liquid Damage!

So now, what are you waiting for? Go to your nearest Celcom Center to get your Iphone 4.

It comes in Black and also WHITE!!!!  But the WHITE one is always very limited units so grab it when it’s HOT!

The only drawback I found out in this package, it takes 2 weeks to deliver your iPhone even after your line is active. 2 Weeks only , it’s worth to wait!

So are you ready to grab one for yourself or for your love one?

If you are from Miri, you may go to any TT ART outlet to enquire about this package too.

416, the long awaiting day for most of us in Sarawak was finally over.

Too much controversy, too much propaganda, which I don’t think with my little knowledge of politics could do much explanations here. Somehow, as a citizen of Miri City, I think I’ve done what I should have done.

Few years ago, my mom asked, “Why didn’t you come back to Miri for vote?” I replied, it’s non my business. With me or without me, the result will still be the same. SUPP will always be Mirian’s leader. That was 4 years ago, when I was still totally a noob.  After years of rolling in the society and being brain washed by either party, I know that’s my responsibility to cast my vote.

Well, on 16th of April 2011, I’ve done it.  It’s my “Virgin Vote” but I believe there’a lot of you who are still holding the “Virgin Vote”.

My assigned polling station was at SM PEI MIN , Krokop.  I saw a lot familiar faces here, this year I think Mirians are really looking forward for a change. Is either a threat for SUPP or it could be a room of improvement for them.

My voting area is under N64 PUJUT , SUPP -YB Andy Chia vs Fong Pau Teck from DAP.

Over the past few days, DAP has been working very hard on the election campaign every night and they’ve attracted massive crowds. These people who attended, might be those who are seriously supporting  a change or they are just being an observant?

Messages has been spreading over internet, advise and warning all the voters to take a clearer looks on our voting tickets. Rumour says, some dirty tricks could be played on our tickets. I did not bother much. I know it’s always ended out with some black magic which is out of my control no matter how hard we try to prevent it.

It has been the most aggressive weeks I could see Mirians posting up in their facebook & twitters.  I’ve been trying hard to stay neutral, but it’s pretty hard to make a decision.

I’ve crossed on the column whom deserved my vote.

It’s the most crucial day for both parties, but it’s also to all the Sarawak people. Even my friends from Johor would drop me a call and message to concern the situation over here.

Results were slowly being announce through the Internet and also live report from TV 1.

In Miri, both Rocket flies defeated Datuk Patinggi George Chan & YB Andy Chia.  Honestly, I have mix feeling, not sure I’m happy or I’m sad. But I want  to see a change at the same time.  I can’t deny that SUPP did a lot of contributions to Miri but there’s too much of dark side stories too at the same time. It’s really awful to know that.

Meanwhile, in N65 Senadin area faced some difficulty in their vote counts. It has been announced that SUPP YB Lee won by razor thin margin of  58 majority.  PKR side request for recounts. Riot happened at the Miri Indoor Stadium until late night and ended up in Police Stations. This is going to be a never ending story I bet.

Now we are looking forward for the Parliament Election. I’m not sure when that’s gonna be, but if you haven’t done your registration as a voter, please do it now. It’s very easy, you can just do it at any post office nearby. Our future is control by our own.

All the best Miri, we hope to see a better change from now on!

Happy Chap Goh Meh everyone! The great festive is over, its time to concentrate on work now. But before I could continue on with my work, of course I need to conclude the CNY post first.

As part of the mobile phone dealers in Miri, we were invited to the Chinese New Year dinner organize by the association on 13th Feb 2011. This is the first year i join this dinner, and I  hope they could do it even better next year.

Organized at Parkcity Everly Hotel, Miri. Pavillion Ballroom.

The cocktail party begins at 4.30pm. It’s so freakinggg HOT….! The guest  were so little at first, but around 5.30 there comes the crowd.

Apart of joining the Cocktail session, I’ve to take care of this little girl in Red. She’s so happy to see the swimming pool, and tell me she want to swim with that cheongsam! OMG …

The cocktail session was indeed simple, but hey, there comes the FREE FLOW OF BEERS! Nah, you see, these people are really generous when it comes to deal with BEERs!

Along the cocktail session, there’s also a few booth participate by dealers to promote some new product into the market.

And this is the one we’re doing.

Fav/ve Portage

A new brand in the market, dealing with mobile accessories.  If you want to know more, then get to know them from here.

Two cuttie promoters for the event.

The group photos for all, include the little entrepreneur :p

Amber with the Hotlink Lion Dance.

Meanwhile waiting for the dinner to start, all the guest may get around to know each other more.  It’s my pleasure to invite both the VIPs  from TenTen Telecommunications, Mr Vincent & Liang .

And some candid cam moments.

Me with my tickets, and my lucky numbers.

Finally, the dinner begins at 8pm. We were all very hungry and tired ………. next time please begin the dinner earlier..

Look at Mr. Ling’s eyes. He’s so lack of sleep eh!

Group photos with our company’s staffs. I do hope they enjoy the night although the food are really not so appetizing.

Mention about the food, I swear I would not recommend any of my friend to hold dinner at this hotel. The food are terrible and the service are even worst.

This is the 1st time I encounter the sharkfin soup tat doesn’t come with any shark fins and it’s left half bowl on the table. Proven, its really BAD. It’s okay, we should learn not to eat shark fins, and protect the sharks. Good excuse for them. =)

But how about the chopsticks?

I thought it’s suppose to be all the same matching colors of chopsticks, but.. I have 3 pairs of different colors in a row.

Okay la, I better stop criticize so much, or else I might get sue for telling the truth as well :p

There’s lots of program on going for the dinner. Speeches by the VIPs, Dance Performance and of course Lucky Draw. The Best thing of the dinner is, the amount of lucky draw gifts are huge.  The association managed to get a lot of sponsors from all the mobile distributors.  See, if next time someone invited you to this dinner, please remember to say YES.  Don’t miss a chance to win the great prizes.

Out of 4 tables, we had got 8 lucky draw prizes for that night. Not much, but hey, what else do you ask for more?

Although the food was quite disappointing, but overall we did enjoy the night. I’m just praying that next year it shouldn’t be ParkCity anymore.. =)

This is something that I wonder to blog or not to blog. To blog, because its something happening . Not to blog, because I worry you thought I’m a politician. No way!

Every festive season, I think it would be the busiest moment for the YBs and Datuks to get around with the public.  As usual almost every year, my family are honor to be visited by the YBs and Datuks.  Hmm, and that is also the moment I’ve turn into a maid, busy serving all the guest.  My mom would be busy preparing her specialty dish, Foochow Mee Sua which is the favourite of the Datuks.

Mama’s Specialty Foo Chow Mee Sua.

This year, our house was scheduled on CNY Day 6.

Visited by YB. DATUK PATINGGI TAN SRI DR. GEORGE CHAN HONG NAM and YB. DATUK LEE KIM SHIN with their fellow SUPP members, there’s a lot of them. Follow by lots of reporters too..

My dad presenting his Calligraphy to YB. DATUK PATINGGI TAN SRI DR. GEORGE CHAN.

Oh well, this is also the first time I met YB. DATUK PATINGGI TAN SRI DR. GEORGE CHAN’s  wife, Lorna Enan Mulloon. She looks “HOT” in real person.

Another one to YB. DATUK LEE KIM SHIN.

What’s the calligraphy about, i’m not sure, maybe you have to ask my dad. :p

Group photos of all the Datuks… Datuk Lau Tang & Dato Sri Law Kiu Kiong were present also.

On Chinese New Year Day 9, YB. ENCIK ANDY CHIA CHU FATT also visited our home.

Also time for makan makan mee sua =) but this time less crowd.

Again, my dad presenting calligraphy to YB. ENCIK ANDY CHIA CHU FATT

All these calligraphy were done by my dad. He’s very passionate in Chinese Calligraphy.

And what is this?

Ok I do a free publicity , if you have any problem dealing with the govt, try contact him for help.

And Why I have so many of this? Cos he is very kind keep distributing almost everyone in my house. =.=

Okay, so that’s the visit. So tell me, what to conclude for this post?

Hints of Election is coming? Gotcha~!

Happy Chap Goh Meh!

Not sure if everyone still in the mood of Love, it has been few days after the Valentines Celebration.
Its just another ordinary day for me and alex due to our tight working schedule, busy with the new house chores, and almost neglected on the Vday. To my own surprise, i did not request him to get me pressie this year, and I did not expect him to celebrate it grandly. In fact, I’m just hoping for a simple dinner and a relax moment. I mean , Stress Free moment.

Alex bring me to the my favourite shop, dessert master for an afternoon tea.  Don’t worry, they did not hike the price just for Vday.

I had sesame paste, He had melon “xi mi lu” and the prawn fritters.  It only cost us RM11.

But of course that’s not how we celebrated the Vday la.. Alex did try to look up for a few restaurant, but end up I still opt for not so grand way to celebrate the Vday with him.

We made a booking at Citrus which they have the Valentine Set Dinner for RM90 per couple. The price is consider very reasonable for the food it serve, and the environment it provide. Save RM100 compare to our initial plan.

Luckily we did made the booking, or else I would be ended up no seat. It is expected to be fully booked everywhere. And the funny thing is, the environment is so packed, even if i wanna say some mushy mushy words i also worry the guy next table might heard our conversation.

In case you need their number , Citrus Miri Phone Number : 085-430554

This is the first time I celebrate my Vday at Citrus.  It’s also been quite sometime since I last visited this place.  Looking at the menu, nothing much to complain for the price it offered.

1st, they serve us the Fruit Mocktail. Red = Love.

2nd, here comes the oxtail soup.  Hmm, not to my own preference but its edible.

And then… we have to wait and wait for the main course to be served. Probably they just want us to spent sometime chit chatting with the loves one. But I can see from everyone’s face, they are tired of waiting. :[

Finally, 8pm the main course were served.

I could foresee if they play Cooking Dash, for sure the waitress cannot meet their goal. It’s such a busy night, but there’s only 3 waitress on duty, which is include of Cashier.

I had the Mix Grill, oh I heart the Sausage.
Other than that, it’s consider average.

Alex had the Teriyaki Salmon.
The portion is consider generous, but I think he says the Salmon could be fresher.

8.30 pm dessert was served.

I love this plate of Ice Cream served with Strawberries. This my favourite among all the dish.

9pm.  Done Dinner.

Thank you Mr. Ling for the meal, it was a great meal. So in return, I tell him, I’m going to bring him for RELAX…

Hehe… What Kind of Relax?

*Evil Laugh*

Ya, I brought him to Thai Border. A heaven for all, includes men and women.

This is actually a reflexology center, where they provide Thai Massage service. I come here quite often, it runs by a few Philiphino. Reasonable price RM45 per hour, RM 65 for 1 1/2 hours. If you’re interested, do call them up for booking. Trust me, there’s no hanky panky things happened here. =)

Thai Massage Phone Number: 0168781096

I  guess you would never think of going for a massage on a V day right?  For me, it’s A simple, but meaningful Vday that I’ve spent with my love one.

Happy Valentines Day Everyone!

Together Gather, it’s the happiest moment.

If you ask what program actually we had during the lunar year celebration, for me, the best thing we could do  is Visiting each other, relatives and friends. You come to my house, and I go over your house. Maybe you would say, some of the people we met everyday, why still need to visit their home? Hmm, I’m not sure, but that’s the culture. And I’m happy to follow this culture :p

On the early morning of CNY Day 1, we woke up around 8am and get ourselves ready for the visiting.  The whole family need to get ready, and we go to visit the grand parents at Sibu Jaya.

Before we proceed to Sibu Jaya, let’s take a family portraits. =)

Sibu Jaya takes 20-30 mins drive from Sibu town. It’s a satelite town of Sibu, but its yet to be fully occupied. So we don’t really see much happenings over here.  Since the grandparents stay here, so its compulsory for all the siblings to be here on this festive.  It’s just the best way to show your respects and concern to the elderly.

It’s consider quite a simple celebrating at Sibu compare to Miri where I need to attend to all the guest at my own parent’s home. Haha, its so much relaxing here in Sibu! Hehe..

Left: CNY day 1 , going to have a break at The Queens.
Right:  CNY day 2 outfit, going for house visiting.

On the second day of CNY, we’ve date all the friends to go house to house visiting.
1st we gathered at our home while waiting for Bongkersz and Will Chua from Sarikei.

Then we go to Eric’s house and continue to Joseph’s.

The similarity I found from each house, they are all serving fruit juices rather than the classic f&n carbonated drinks. Yeah~ Go Healthy Lifestyle!

We also took the chance to visit the most respected blogger,  Mr. Suituapui. We really enjoyed the buffet.

Follow by Kongkay’s House.
This is my 1st time visited his mansion.  How I wish one day I could own such a big mansion too! Haha..

The weather were a bit strange for the whole new year, its been raining cats and dogs. You hardly predict what’s the next weather would be. But the great thing is Sibu is flood free for this lunar year! It’s a good symptoms don’t you know?

Visited to Justin’s house & Amie’s in the evening.

Basically, that’s how’s the visiting goes in Sibu.

We were back to Miri on CNY Day 4 .
Its the last day of house visiting because most of us need to report on duty on CNY day 5.
I missed the annual School Gathering on the day 3, so I have to compensate it back on Day 4!

It’s time for the sisterly gathering..  In sibu I follow Alex, In Miri, He has to follow me back! Hahah…

Meet Yaya. She’s the cutest “Michelin Baby”…. she’s just 4 months old but she’s 8KG….

Most of my friends were married and have kids.  Great to see that all my friends are doing pretty well.

This year celebration seems quite short for me .. maybe time flies during traveling here and there.  Somehow its a great experience for me, hmm, to be an adult, and give angpaos to the the small ones. Haha..

Haven’t claim your angpao from me? Do remember to give us a visit next year!

Once again,  Gong Hei Fat Choy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Huat Ah~~~~~~~~~~~

Happy Hop Hop Year Everyone!
Its been quite sometime again since my last update, but would not forget to send my new year greetings through my blog.

This year celebration would be slightly different for me, as life after marriage, I would need to spent my lunar year back at Sibu wheres Alex’s hometown is. Things went smoothly, the reunion was great that brings everyone closer. Although I can’t be at Miri during the first few days of CNY, however through FB i’m still be able to update every now and then.

Celebrating Lunar Year in Sibu I do have some kind of different experiences. Slightly different from Miri, where it’s much more festive feel compare to many other places. Its very common during the big festive for all the folks to be back to their hometown, where’s the home sweet home is. <3

Alex is the big fan’s of Sibu Kampua. Almost every night we must go out to have Kampua for supper. But that’s what everyone in Sibu is doing. The coffee shop’s business is super duper good during the festive season. Price hike? No worries, a lot of people would still afford the RM2.50 lard kampua!

As days getting closer to the CNY… the streets were jammed everywhere. So the best thing to avoid the jam is,  buy some DVDs and stay home for movie marathon!

A day before CNY .. Reunion Dinner..

I’m not a good cook, so I dare not to offer help to cook for the reunion dinner. Since my MIL is a great cook, she cooks great dishes, so me and the sisters would just be her assistant in preparing the ingredients.   We had 8 dishes for the dinner, Fabulous!!!!

The most important, there must be the FISH, to be 年年有余。。。

And before the dinner is serve, the fire crackers must be lit.  That’s the Sibu culture, but in Miri we did it after the dinner.  Did i mention, we done the dinner before 4pm? That’s really early! Hahaha!

The lucky thing was, Sibu was flood free during this CNY, meaning that its gonna be a good year ahead!

Will post up all the gathering and visiting pictures on the next post.

Alex and Mary wishes all the friends and readers,  have a prosperous new year!
