and another wk has passed
but i daresay that it has been a wk of fulfillment
thx to the ppl that took me away frm my desktop
and gave me a proper social life. =)
i wanted to blog like 3 days ago
but i was having internet probs thx to starhub
u shld haf seen the hardwarezone forums..
it's practically a gathering of cheapos!
those using hubstation's 1mbps free internet were complaining of the exact same prob
surfing wise is fine, but things that requires logging in can't be accessed..
which includes n nt limited to: msn, facebook, xfire, blogger, LoL..
called the customer service, which put me through to a bloody indian customer service officer
by the second time i called i was damn pissed
coz he still thinks im an IT noob
telling me the prob lies in the server congestion coz too many ppl were accessing it
and so i went.. "no no no, u do not understand the degree of this problem. this is NOT an isolated problem. i have 3 other frens using hubstation's internet having the EXACT same problem starting frm the EXACT same day."
n he can still tell me this wif his indian accent.. "sir, this is an isolated problem cause there is no notice of maintenance issued by starhub."
*$%@%&!*@#$%!
oh well, but the problem was resolved by the 4th day
so i shall be a kind soul n forgive them. =)
my dad bought samsung jet 1-2wks ago
gotta love holiday special deals
but becoz of that, now my dad has his hands on a phone far too advanced beyond his comprehension
which leads to.. stupid qns being asked. =/
take this scene for example:
he wants to transfer songs into his phone
so i say im helping him install the pc suite frm the installation disc first
den he was like "huh? the cd spoil?"
den i tried to explain again
den he say "oh.. so u nid to transfer the song into the cd first den u transfer into the phone?"
amazing. -.-"
to tell u the truth, both my parents are kinda oblivious at times
take for example, when i was going out for badminton on monday morning
i managed to imply dat it was just a regular badminton session,
so nth special abt it for her to qn me
when actually i was in fact going out to play badminton wif 2 other girls
before u go on.. don't think too much into this, they're just frens. =/
telling a lie is a sin,
but 'forgetting' to include certain facts works just fine. XD
played pool n watched avatar ytd on x'mas day
with all the hype and gd reviews given by ur peers,
i thought it wld be an epic movie.
but after watching it first hand..
i'd beg to differ.
the plot is too similar to the last samurai storyline
soldier sent to wage battle against a foreign village w/o much technology
soldier trapped in a mishap which forces him to live the ways of the local natives
soldier indulges in the subtle beauty of the foreign culture,
soldier falls in love with the culture and a local girl who has been kind to him throughout the cultural exchange
soldier betrays his old chain of command and fights alongside local natives..
leading them to battle against impossible odds with a huge technological disadvantage..
sounds familiar?
how abt having a LOTR-style reinforcements in times of need to quickly turn the tides when u r losing? *think how the ents and ghosts came in to help in LOTR*
but still, i love his imba red bird that he was riding
flinging those copters into nearby cliffs and other copters using its talons was cool
anyway, it was still an enjoyable day;
a x'mas well spent. =)
but i still wanna watch sherlock holmes.. =/
i only have 1 wk left on this big island..
and if a certain shortie still doesnt realise this until nxt wk,
when it's too late to jio me for dinner..
i'll laugh my shaved head off. =D
before i end off..

it's almost been a mth since i last updated
throughout that period, i've just been working on n off for msd
its been fun, i guess
n since i keep switching supervisors for the day,
im becoming quite well known there
i can juz walk in through the front door and the receptionist just greets me with a smile instead of asking wad business i have there
i like working there..
it beautifies my resume too. =)
in case some of u are still wondering wad happened to razer arctosa
well, its like 70 bucks like how i speculated
so its still nt worth it..
went for a cheapo logitech keyboard instead
n it turns out to be a great investment!
im loving the soft feel of the keys
and the music player controls available at the top of the keyboard is a great addition too
if nt i'd have to go through the hassle of meddling with the com's volume controls since im nt using speakers for audio
speakers irritates ur family if u listen to jap songs..
so use earpiece for peace! =D
*okay dat was a lame rhyme*
everyone is like raving abt their postings on fb
when im still nt enlisted
gosh. CMPB sure is taking their time..
anyway i called them the other day
after much nagging frm my mum n bro..
n they finally told me that i shld be enlisting somewhere early jan
*FINALLY*n my enlistment letter shld be coming in some time diz mth
time to live life to the fullest.
movies anyone? =)
