A Summary On StreaMyAss

Since early March of 2003, users started experiencing various problems on Malaysia's broadband service: Streamyx. This included slowing down of connection speed, failure of authentication server, frequent disconnection etc.

A press statement came out on the newspaper blaming the deteriorating quality of Streamyx on DoS (Denial of Service) and DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks. This had been heavily rebutted by one of its user here, here and here.

Shortly after that, they came out with another excuse. This time blaming it on the international line.

Subject: HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING
From: dave chiew
Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2003 21:59:22 +0800

(This is a hypothetical scenario. The English gets horrendous in places)

Imagine if you will, signing up to buy a new car. You are told the car will arrive in two to three weeks. You wait for three weeks and the car has not arrived. Not after a month, or two months but six months later your car arrives.

The first morning as you leave for work the car will not start. You call the dealer on the phone and their answering machine puts you on hold for half an hour. When you finally get to speak to someone, they can only say that they will forward your complaint to their mechanic. You are without transport for the next 24 hours. You have to spend the day travelling around in Taxis, incurring extra cost.

After the mechanic has fixed your car, you decide to take your new car out on the 120kph highway for a test drive. "Wow, this car can really fly" you say to yourself. Suddenly, without warning, your car slows down to 12kph and stays at that speed for the rest of the day. You see bicycles and joggers overtake you on either side.

You cannot keep your appointments so lose out on alot of business opportunities and hot dates, not to mention the Great Malaysia Sale.

Next morning your car can start but "cannot gohead cannot gostan". You spend the whole day staring at the signal lights and trying repeatedly to get the car going every five minutes. For the next few days, your car can start only at certain hours so you have to resort to driving only at 3am in the morning but all the shops are closed and your dates have gone to sleep.

On the fifth day you receive a police summon for obstructing a funeral procession when your car stalls on a narrow road. Later the same day, you also receive a summons for obstructing an old folks' Walkathon.

Finally, when you cannot tolerate it anymore, you go back to your dealer and demand a refund for the piece of s#%*. The dealer tells you that you will need to pay them 12 months instalments and forfeit your downpayment, registration fees and road tax before they will take the car back. It appears that this dealer has sold similar pieces of s#%* to 30,000 other innocent victims and intends to sell another 70,000 pieces of s#%* by year's end.

Will you, as a victim, just suffer quietly?

That is all hypothetical. I don't think there is any company in Malaysia with so little regard for etiquette as to rip off tens of thousands of people of millions of ringgit every month. I really can't think of any ISP providing any broadband service that is like s#%*. Can you?

Let's say, for the sake of argument, that there is such an incompetent, arrogant and bitchy ISP. Could we not start a petition campaign? The users have nothing to lose as they are being made to pay every day even when the service is down.

But alas, we do not have any lousy ISPs in the country, otherwise we could try out this approach.

Real world translation of above:

TMNUT would like to inform our customers (aka suckers) that we will make a lame attempt to squeeze more traffic onto our already overloaded international link. As a result, those few remaining suckers who can still log in presently will find themselves also locked out on Thursday, March 20,2003 for 10 minutes at 3:30 p.m.(when our technicians will be quickly briefed on what the international link physically looks like), and between 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. (when our technicians will inevitably damage said link beyond repair). You may use , er hem, Jaring dialup for the period of attempted maintenance.

TMNUT commend you for being patient suckers for so long. The reason behind our maintenance is that some users get slow connections whilst others are getting fast connections. Our aim is to make sure that ALL USERS GET THE SAME SLOW CONNECTION.

My Streamyx (Pelangi exchange , JB) has been down since late morning. Already been more than 12 hours without connection. Called 1300 twice but seems like it's gonna take the technician more than 12 hours to walk over to the DSLAM and reset my connection. Bloody TMNET, what am I paying for?

F**K, I feel pissed off. What kind of stupid broadband is this? Nearly everyday the line is slow and sluggish. Can't even browse a simple website even. I think my dial-up works much better then this.

I think the whole community of Streamyx should not pay for this month service. So bad service. And another thing tmnet should do is to stops getting new applicants and say the service is currently unavailable for new registrant. Put on hold until tmnet could really provide a good service and better line speed for the current user first then only accept applicants. Not to get more customer and create the line from slow to slower to slowest.

give it a try if you're on the 219.94.x.x subnet .

host : 202.71.97.92
port : 7799

the server's linked via TM eastgate . with this proxy , you're gonna bypass whatever shit routing they did with 219.94.x.x and go through the (relatively) congestion free teleglobe link instead .

bear in mind that you have to set the proxy for the streamyx connection in the Internet Options control panel . not the one in LAN Settings (unless you're connecting through a router) . btw , please dont waste my bandwidth by running bandwidth tests through it .

Kamu bawa dia lagi besok pagi ke Jabatan Pesakit Luar." (Translation : Oi! What's this? You son has been having fever for four days and you only bring him now. And this is Emergency Department. I'm going to bring his body temperature down first. You will have to bring him again tomorrow morning to our Out Patient Department."

Medical Assistant : "Doc, we have an arrest."

Dr. Liew : *Groan* *Dashes to Resuscitation Room* "What the heck?"

Medical Assistant : "Heart attack, doc. Lost his vitals on the way."

Dr. Liew : "Intubate him immediately. Get (blood from) his femoral (artery) and send for MI (myocardial infarction or heart attack) profiles. Connect cardiac monitor."

Everyone running around Resuscitation Room for the next half an hour trying to revive the young (35 years old) man.

Nurse : "Doc, itu bapa sudah geram menunggu lah." (Translation : Doc, that father of that child is angry having waited for so long.)

Dr. Liew : "Suruh dia tunggu lagi. Saya masih sibok." (Translation : Tell him to wait. I'm still busy.)

Dr. Liew : "Charge the defib (defibrillator) at 360 (joules), we are going to shock him again!"

Nurse : "But he wants you to attend to his child immediately."

Dr. Liew : "How's his child doing?"

Nurse : "His temperature has come down."

Dr. Liew : "Good. Tell the relatives of this young man whom I'm saving here to talk to him and beg him to let me save this life instead of asking me to see his child first."

Nurse : "Okay."

Half an hour later...

Dr. Liew : "Okay. Stop everything. Let him go. Time of death 9.30pm. Cause of death myocardial infarction."

Medical Assistant : "Doc, police brought a body for postmortem."

Dr. Liew : "I can't do it tonight. Tell him tomorrow morning."

Medical Assistant : "Okay."

Dr. Liew : "What body?"

Medical Assistant : "Caught by a fisherman in his fishing net."

Dr. Liew : "Where is the fisherman?"

Medical Assistant : "Outside, with the police."

Dr. Liew : *Unscrubing* "Why lah uncle? You catch a body in you fishing net, throw it back in the water lah! Why bring to police? Now the police has to write report, I have to cut open the body. You think I not busy enough meh?"

Fisherman : "Cannot lah doc. Cannot throw back one. Later the ghost will come and haunt me. I'm fated to catch it in my fishing net and it wanted me to bring it back to land."

Dr. Liew : *Collapse*
Hanging

She was wheeled in on a stretcher. Found unconscious on a sandy riverbay with a broken right leg. No identification document found on her. However, we found some patterned bruise on her neck.

Later, it was confirmed that the pattern on her neck was identical to the rope found on the bridge. She was trying to hang herself. While plunging down, the rope gave way.

Police took a picture of her and went asking people around that area. Nobody knows her.

Three days later, she regained consciousness but unable to remember anything. Not even her own name.

Maybe that's good. For if she remembers, she may just go back to the same bridge again. And next time, she will bring along a thicker rope.
Talking Car

Someone gave me a pre-wedding cake last week. So I had to drop by the teaparty yesterday night on my way home just to give an Ang Pow to her mum.

Saw this bunch of rust-colour-haired Ah Bengs got out from a Kancil with blue cabin light. Cool shite! (SuZen really has bad influence on my language, huehueheue.)

They closed the door and pressed on the remote control keychain to arm the car alarm.

Then the car, instead of that lame *tweet* *tweet* signal, said "system armed." Cool shite!

I wonder if you try to steal the car and if the alarm goes off, will it be "HELP! I'M BEING STOLEN!" or "GOU MENG AH! (Help!) KIONG KAN AH! (Rape!) LUN KAN AH! (Gang rape!) " You know, just to get more attention.
The Victim

Before the ambulance arrived, the medical assistant called us up from the ambulance. 25 years old female, had a quarrel with her boyfriend afterwhich her boyfriend knocked her down with a car. She sustained an injury on her leg.

Everyone gathered around the entrance, waiting for the victim. As usual: keh poh.

She was on a stretcher crying. "Why he so 'boh sim kua' (heartless)! My life is so bitter! Knocked me with his car somemore! I love him so much! Where's justice for me? People just want to drink a bit of whisky also must knock me down..."

"Wah," exclaimed one nurse. "Where got man like that one?"

"I wash his underwear, feed his dog, cook his meals, everything also I follow his command. And everytime when he is unhappy he slaps me, pulls my hair. All those I still can tahan. But today he had the heart to knock me down with his car! I could have died if it wasn't my neighbours that came to stop him and brought him to the police," the crying continued.

The registration clerk also came over. "You don't worry lah! This kind of man, sack him lah! Useless one."

I cleaned the wound and applied some silk suture to the gaping skin.

"Aiyoh, miss ah... This kind of man must sue him and let him go to jail," said the medical assistant.

"Yalor! He like that where can," exclaimed the registration clerk. "Must sue him to bring back some face for us women!"

Suddenly the victim turned soft. "I don't think I want to sue him ler. I love him. I don't want him to get hurt."

"You siao meh? Wake up lah! Don't let the blood flow for nothing! You must bring him to justice," the clerk exclaimed. "He doesn't love you lah!"

"But I love him... Love is being able to forgive... I'd rather bear with these pain also I won't let him get hurt," the victim mumbled.

Dr. Liew: "Alright people, I'm done with the wound. You all bandage the wound up. I'm going to that concrete wall over there to bang my head against it."

Half an hour later, some policemen came...

The police asked: "Awak cakap betul betul. Adakah dia langgar kamu menggunakan keretanya?" (Translation : Tell me the truth. Did he knock you down with his car?)

The victim kept quiet.

"Tapi dia kata kamu mengambil batu dan mencederakan sendiri selepas dia merampas botol arak dari kamu. Dan kamu membaringkan diri di depan keretanya," the police continued. "Dan kami sudah menjumpa batu yang kamu mengguna untuk mencederakan sendiri." (Translation : But he said you used a rock to injure yourself after he snatched the bottle of alcohol from you. And you lied yourself in front of his car. We have also found the stone that you used to injure yourself with.)

The 'victim' continued to remain silent.

The male pharmacist said men's life is difficult. The clerk was staring at the 'victim' like she was having exophthalmos (protrusion of eyeballs in hyperthyroidism).

"Who asked him to stop me from drinking? He deserves it what. I wanted to teach him a lesson," the 'victim' said finally, without remorse.

Bug

There's a bug on my keyboard this morning.

It must have escaped from Spiderman, carrying a strand of cobweb with it.
Flood

The plumber that design the drainage system of RPC can go eat sheet. There are at least two mistake that he made.

1. The drainage pipe should always be slanting instead of perfectly horizontal. In a horizontal drainage pipe, the sediment in the water tends to deposit along the pipe and clogging it sooner or later. Whereas if it had been slanting, there won't be deposition of sediment that easily leading to building up of sludge.

2. The loose fitting of joints connecting the basins and the drainage pipe like the photo below.

So naturally when the pipe gets clogged distally, water will overflow from this joint and flooding RPC.

After nearly an hour of pumping and humping, taking apart the joint and stuffing it with thick clothes to prevent water from flowing out during pumping action, the drainage system has been unclogged.

And RPCNs poured away the dirty water collected, along with FOUR pieces of THICK clothes, into the toilet bowl! WTF! Now I'm worried the toilet bowl will get clogged. Stupid ass!
