QUOTE(seantang @ Jul 23 2010, 11:53 PM) By 29, I had 8 years of full time experience. Why do you only have 5? I graduated in 2005.... start working right after that..... so all in all is 5 years lah.... what abt ur fren? is he 8 yrs experience also??? Added on July 24, 2010, 12:10 amQUOTE(ThanatosSwiftfire @ Jul 24 2010, 12:01 AM) Graduates these days generally come out at 22-24, so 5 years by 29 means he graduated by 24, probably a 5 year course? (1-2 years STPM + 3 years degree perhaps?) Right after spm went for 1 yr matriculation... then continue 4 yrs engineering course to get a degree...

Went uni for 4 year sandwich course, finished at 22 including working 1 year full time. By 29, another 7 years of working. Total 8 years.

I use the Celcom Xpax 3G Prepaid Broadband simcard with my Singtel Huawei USB modem. RM25 to get the simcard with some airtime, and thereafter RM6 for 24 hrs or RM20 for 7 days. Coverage is of course Maxis or Celcom in West Malaysia. Celcom in East Malaysia. Digi is cheaper but less reliable... eg. sometimes SMS are not instantaneous.

10 dolar for a week, forget the bandwidth given There's a 3gb data ceiling on the Limited Edition Digi Prepaid BB. Celcom's Xpax BB is unlimited, and works with torrents and both rapidshare/megaupload... if you're into downloads.
