Edge, 3G, HSDPA broadband finally?

Here I am writing from the comfort of Hyatt Regency, KK, Sabah. Am here for a one night trip to do some site measurements for a new office of my customer. Best part is I'm using a Digi Edge Data Sim card to access the web. I have with me a Maxis 3G card which promises 3G/HSDPA and the Celcom Card too. Promises of true broadband instantaneously vanished when connection is made, data packets took ages to move and guess what? I'm back to using Digi Edge here. Come Monday I'll be terminating some data accounts and the performance of the various operators when I am back to the farm will determine which is which. It is amazing how big corporations can spend so much on A & P promoting products/devices that fail to impress.
Pardon my rantings, I must be mentally drained from all the 'activities' since the beginning of '08. Not a bad thing to have projects going again but I am truly rusty in certain departments after the span of pure back to basics lifestyle in the farm.
Truth of the matter is without work and income from the city, it is simply impossible to survive solely from the 'good' farming principles we practice at our farm. Sustainable farming is tough as there are just too many subjective elements to juggle with. Coupled with the reduced spending power of city folks, rising cost of raw material, food stuff and almost everything under the sun, our customers may be finding it hard to cope with the ever rising cost of living. Here at the farm. despite of how much we adjust our lifestyle, it remains an uphill task to continue doing what we believe to be the right thing to do.
In a world hostile to the ways of the old where honesty, integrity and hard work is something to be proud of, we are often tempted to abandon the calling, the small still voice fading into oblivion as we trudge slowly ahead, one step forward and at times two steps back, a journey that takes us back to square one over and over again. Searching and not finding, we unknowingly resign to live nominal lives devoid of any passion and zeal, in the world and not of the world and yet not in the kingdom, lost in a vacuum. I plead with you my brothers and sisters, do pray for us, that we may run the race and stay steadfast in the faith, counted as worthy of the calling which we have received. I will choose to walk on, to praise and worship daily with my being, ambitions and daily living. Seriously we might as well die trying than dead without trying. Hope you get what I'm feeling in my heart. take care all!
