It has been quite a challenging week for me in terms of my personal and family life. We are deciding whether to change our car that has recently become an ‘petroholic’. As much as I try to bring him in for ‘counseling’, it does not seems to change his habit. So I have to make a decision, to put him to sleep and get a new car, or to persist on with him. With the rising petrol price, and the recent drop in COE, it has make the matter even more urgent. I have to give an answer to the dealer by latest tomorrow morning, and right now, I am still undecided.
My wife and I has been praying about it, but have yet to hear a clear answer. Pray about it? Some might ask. Yes, we believe in asking God for every major and minor decision so that we can be certain that our decision is the right one. Too many times we went ahead to decide things on our own and things turn out bad, or at best, pathetic. So in this major decision, we want to ensure we’ve made the right one, so we need our God to ‘prompt’ us.
What will be our final decision, will we change? Will we not change? Watch this blog to find out. 
Any crazy thing I did was today. I actually decided to go down to Comex after church, venturing with my 2 sons as my wife has something important to attend to. So I manage to make arrangement with my mother-in-law to meet us at Suntec so that she can help take care of my younger one which I bring my elder son Denver to queue up with me. While I know it will be crowded, I did not expect that today, there is actually a cycling event going on and they close almost all the entrance to Suntec area. So this caused a major traffic jam and after about 1.5 hrs been stuck in the traffic jam, I decided to detour and park at Raffles City and than walk to Suntec (with the 2 boys). Thank God that when I make it to Raffles City carpark, there is a lot waiting for me. So about 2 hrs after I set out for Suntec, I finally reached my destination.
I aim today is simple, to sign up for the MaxMobile Unlimited plan from Starhub and in irresistible 2 years contract with 50% of subscription for the 1st year and 100% (yes, totally FREE) of subscription for the 2nd year. And it comes with a free 3.5G modem which can give me a good download speed of 7.2mbps, much faster than my office broadband (oops, did I said that out loud?). The first 50 MaxOnline customer can also get a free 30GB Creative Zen, and I heard people started to queue up as early as 6am. 6AM!!! Anyway, the offer is so good that everyone seems to be signing up. In the end I have to queue up outside of the starhub area just to be able to get into it and queue again for registration, and than wait for my numbers and queue again to pay up. All in all, I queued for more than 2hrs. Small price to pay for a wonderful package but I feel so bad than my son have to queue with him, without lunch! By the time everything is over, it’s already 3+ pm.
But it is well worth the wait as not only is the price very very attractive, the speed is also very impressive. Installation was a breeze and using it is just as simple. At 7.2mbps, it sometimes feel faster than my high speed shared broadband at home (also by Starhub). It is definitely faster than my office Internet and been an unlimited package, I might just use it in office! Will put it to further test tomorrow and see just how good and reliable it is. Wait for my report!
