MicroK SMS + Maxis!

I was informed by a 68 years old friend of mine last month about this issue. He is a non IT and non SMS or any advance technology guy. He just know how to make call and answer call from his mobile. Don't even know how to save number or read SMS.

You can still see a 70's black and white TV working fine at his house. He didn't really watch TV. But reading. One fine day he brought his mobile and his maxis phone bill to me and ask what is the MicroK SMS thing inside his bill. I got no clue about this. So, decided to give maxis customer service a call.

I was kind of pissed off with the explaination of the Maxis customer service representative. Said that the customer agreed on the terms or the conditions of this serrvice. So that this MicroK SMS will charge into his bill. Asking him when did he registed or applied this kind of service. He said he don't even know how to turn on a PC. Don't know how to read or reply SMS. Don't goto any dealer of mobile to register any kind of service. How to get this done?

It is useless to talk to Maxis Customer Service. They insisted the customer registered this service before. I've told them to block this service. And yes. It is done. After that, I am back at home and check on my bill... OMG!!! This MicroK SMS appear in my bill as well. A month charging RM20-30. If a year, will be RM240-360! That is a lot...

For those who know me well. I am using my company mobile to do all the sms and calls. I am not into all this web games, enews or any eservices. And i am an IT guy. I know what to apply or subscribe if i am really need it. But the truth is, I don't ever have enough time to shit. What for I want this service for. Called up Maxis Customer Service. Same bullshit given by them. They don't even want to rebate to customer. What done is already done. What they can offer is to block that service only.

Glad that i found out early. But guess what. I am going to stop using this fxxx up and irresponsible mobile service. I will switch to their competitor. Better service and better offer and package.

So, for those who using post paid line. Please check out your bill now. I am wondering they are doing this to the prepaid user or not. Since there is no bill provided.

p/s: I will take a picture of my bill which stated this MicroK SMS service next time. If I am not, please remind me.

Pulau Ketam aka Crab Island - Part 2

Kind of lazy to update my blog recently. Time always not enough for me. Going out to work before I can see the sunshine. When back at home...I can see only the moon. Normally I will spend a bit of time with my fishes, garden and aquarium after I am back from work. Watering the plants and flowers, feeding my fishes and trimming my aquatic plants. And i am a TV guy. I have to spend an hour at least to watch the TV everyday. No matter there is a good programme or not. No TV. No life... :p

Here is our group photo.. Start from the most left.. myself, Stan with a cap, Steven who opened his mouth big enough for a fly, Wai Ye in white and Shaun the cool man with sun glasses.


See...I've told you. Don't open your mouth so big...


My belove in orange.


See... Girls always like photographer. Check out Wai Ye's expression.


Ok...enough for non-sense. Back to photography talk..Below are the residents in Crab Island. Some of them are used to the camera. Some of them are not. As you can see from their face.... Some of them prefer to walk faster or cycling faster to pass by. (There is no car or motorcycle in Crab Island. The main transport is bicycle or the bicycle with a small cc engine to make it run automatically. Can't recall what is it called.)


Here is one of the doggie found in the island. Most of the doggie hunting for food at the sea side. And they are not taking care well. Pity....


Oh...he is not the resident over there. But the Malaysia version of Bugs Bunny... hahahaha....


One of the pretty...she looks like kind of worrying of something...


An indonesian resident showing her happiness...


Here is their kitchen...


The baby....


Friend said he is David Beckam's fan...


But when made it into B&W...... Remind me of my grandpa...


Check out how much she hates us. And the kid as well. hahahaha...


The only Ramley burger stall owner in the island.


The chic...


Another cute chic... :p


Friend once asked is he died? hahaha... nope. He is in his sweet dream...




Has not see this kind of service since many years ago...


I was waiting for him to finish. So that I can try also... But he taking his own sweet time... I will be back!! And try your skill.


We left the island around 6pm+. Don't have time to shoot the sunset. My brother asking me to go with him again to shoot the sunset and sunrise in the next trip. So, we are planning to have an overnight trip. Gonna get a fishing boat and fishing at the midnight....
