Happy Chinese New Year 2009 people!!

Its a really long weekend with Monday & Tuesday being a public holiday. So what are your plans this CNY? I’m so happy I have one week break and will only resume working on 3rd of February.

Tonight I have CNY dinner at home with my family. The menu looks good – shark’s fin soup, Chicken with crispy skin, baked tiger prawns with cheese, Sweet & sour pork and broccoli with mushrooms. Then later tonight (around 10pm) we’ll be making a move to Tg Malim to my grandmother’s house for supper. Tomorrow I’m taking a road trip down to Taiping for a fren’s kenduri.

Looking forward to a whole week of cuti!

Happy Telco New Rates (Mahal siot!)

Posted by IcedNyior on January 22, 2009  |  8 Comments

For those who don’t know, Happy is a sub-telco of Digi which launched in 2007 and offers a very cheap flat rate of RM0.99 to any telco provider – including landlines (Telekom Malaysia), Maxis, Hotlink, Celcom, XPAX, UOX, SOX, UMobile & Digi. I wrote a post about it in 2007 and so did many other bloggers like MohdIsmail, Qai, Empithree, Manchurr, Mixterr & Khai.

Today, 22 January, Happy telco released its new rates. And its quite a shock to most people – in fact, I think many people are not even aware of it. Quoted from the website [Happy News],

Happy is now HAPPIER with brand new call rates.

With Happy, you can make extra long Happy to Happy calls of up to 45 minutes anytime between 9:00am to 5:00pm for just RM0.99!

For short calls, we’re gotten even better with a super call rate of RM0.33 a minute to all networks! That’s way cheaper compared to our previous rate!

And you’ll be glad to know that SMSes are still RM0.10 to all Malaysian numbers!
The new call rates are applicable to all new and existing Happy customers. Find out more about these rates in our updated rate table and be HAPPY!

Don’t understand? Here’s a quick breakdown of the new rates

Happy to other telcos
RM0.99 for first 15 mins = RM0.06 sen/min
After 15 minutes = RM0.33/min

For Happy – Happy
Between 9am – 5pm : RM0.99 for 45 mins
Other times : RM0.33/min for less than 03 mins call

Lets do a bit of calculation. Based on the old rate, 1 call (which will get cut off after 45 minutes) is RM 0.99.

New Rate :
45 mins = 15 mins + 30 mins
= RM 0.99 + (RM0.33 x 30mins)
= RM 0.99 + RM9.90
= RM 11

That’s a 1100% INCREASE! Insane right? So are you going to stay with Happy or just let your simcard expire?

Download: Yuna/Yunalis Full Album & Demo Songs

I’m back from my holiday, but I’ve got lots of work to catch up with so I haven’t been blogging. But while you wait for a more regular update, here’s something to keep you happy.

Yuna is a singer that I’ve mentioned in my blog a few times. I remember listening to her wayy back early 2008. At that time she was basically an unknown (and sometimes known as Yunalis). In fact I couldn’t even find any lyrics for her song “Dan Sebenarnya” so much so that I had to type it out by ear. LOL!

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Anyway, one year later and she has so many more songs to her name. I have about 21 of her songs – some with 2 versions, the demo & the EP version. I’ve been wanting to post this for ages but only got round to arranging the songs and getting the full track listing today. Click the spoiler to download. Enjoy!
