Drowning in the Sea of Books

There'll be an open exam for tomorrow which starts from 2.30 P.M. to 4.30 P.M. An open exam allows you to bring in any printed or written materials (that you believe will help you) during the exam. I, myself is a little confused with the word "printed". Are reference books considered as printed materials as well? Hmm, open exam for programming language doesn't sound good to me at all...

I've got a good news today, I'm so happy to find out that we don't have to pay for the Telstra and Netspace relocation fees any more! Why? Simply because we're just switching units within the same housing area under the same residental provider. What a big relief us!

Examination Begins

First exam of this semester will be held on Monday (Tomorrow), 11.30 A.M. to 1.30 P.M.

Beware of Celldorado Mobile Scam

First SMS: "Have fun with your tone! Remember, you will receive your FREE Bonus tone tomorrow. Turn your mobile into a radar!! Text Radar to 191198. Do It Now!!"

The truth is I didn't really receive any ringtone from Celldorado so far, but luckily I did skip the "radar" step. Else, they would have charged me more than they're charging me now!!!

Second SMS: "FreeMsg. Fill in this pin XXXXX or just text OK to get your item and join. You will also get a FREE BONUSTONE. Info? Call 1800182174 for help au.celldorado.com"

So, I entered the given pin numbers to the website and clicked on the "verify" button without knowing the exact meaning of this text message. The word, "JOIN" MEANS START CHARGING YOU FOR NOTHING!!!

Third SMS: "Free msg: *WELCOME*! you're subscribed to realtone service! Info: au.celldorado.com Call 1800182174. ($4/msg) unsubscribe? text STOP WREAL17 to 194224. (max 6msg/week)"

Again, the information provided in this SMS is NOT clear enough. My assumption was $4 per message to unsubscribe from the service?! But NO, I don't think you'll be able to unsubscribe from Celldorado. That was when I realized something fishy was going on! With no hesitation, I had a quick check on my Optus Pre-paid's credit balance.

3 days later (which is today), I get a SMS from Optus stating "This feature is unavailable from your service due to rate plan restrictions or insufficient fund. Dial XXX for balance Information." By the time I re-checked my credit balance again, there was only $1.35 left !!!

I've tried to contact the person in-charge via their "Contact Us" page but the link just brought me to my Gmail mailbox with no recipient's email address. How am I suppose to contact them without having their "actual" contacts?

At the moment I get the third SMS, I already told my boi that I'm gonna change a new SIM card as soon as my credit balance is cleared. I feel that there is no point sending them another SMS to unsubscribe from the service because I knew that even if I did do so, still they will continue charging me for no reason.

My advice is, please be careful and think twice before you actually click on such advertisements.

A Simple Claypot Rice

Today, I cooked this claypot rice again for dinner upon my boi’s request. He seems to like it very much =D. Claypot rice is supposed to be cooked with a clay pot but I cooked it with just a normal rice cooker instead.

With simple ingredients like carrots, French beans, minced pork, cabbage, onions, garlics, and spring onions, you will be able to prepare a tasty pot of rice. For blending flavors, just add in some sweet soy sauce (or mushroom soy sauce), squid oil (or sesame oil), and soy sauce into the rice (adjust according to your individual preferences) and stir until it’s evenly coated with the sauces.
