Internet down for 15hours…

Got my internet disconnected since last night 10.30pm.. Didn’t get a chance to go online to chat with my friends, alittle boring but I watched TV till 2am and troubleshooted the internet at the same time but it didn’t help..

My brother woke me up this morning at 9am.. I NEVER WAKE UP SO EARLY ON A SUNDAY BEFORE… damn him.. just because of his online game, he sacrificed my sleep; bugged me up to troubleshoot the network for him..

I gave him a hack care attitude, so he ended up calling Singnet technical support (I called last night and they made me wait for 1/2hour per call..) Finally, someone picked up the call (and its a very short waiting time), and my brother passed me the phone as soon as someone picks up.

There I was talking to the technician who spoke so politely with an english slang, sort of mesmerising.. and my brother was pestering me telling me impossible solutions and got me distracted afew times =(.. We talked for hours.. from 9+ till 11+am and finally, she decided that she would send down a technician to check my telephone line.. So I guess I am unlucky anyway, no internet for me today and tomorrow..

Then 2pm, another technician called me again, explaining to me the situation and he told me that THE NETWORK WAS INACCESSIBLE UNTIL NOW… damn it.. why didn’t the girl know? Waste my time to troubleshoot my network, and worse of all, I went to hard-reset my new modem/router and IT FAILED TO WORK now… No matter what I do I can’t access to it anymore; I guess its gone!

And I was supposed to be very furious on the phone, scolding him like nobody’s business but I didn’t.. weird.. He apologised when I was saying the damn thing that happened to my new modem, that’s all he can do I guess.. But I think ISP should be more responsible, inform all related/unrelated customers that SOME OF THEM MIGHT FACE DOWNTIME although most of the customers will panic BUT at least, ITS A WARNING!!

For my iPOD nano, I recontracted with my ISP and I got myself this kinda thing.. who can be more unlucky than me?

iPOD nano is great =)

Finally, I went down to the town to collect my precious iPOD nano (I have just recontract with Singnet once again; last year I won an Espirit white watch and a voucher for Ranger’s thumbdrive.. now I get to own my iPOD; at last!)

Cool as it is, I was shocked when the person passed me a box, that’s right, a small box.. I was like "What the hell? I am recontracting with Singnet just for such a small item?" Ofcourse I did feel absurd, so I left the place and went to the busstop immediately.. In less than 5mins, the bus came and I boarded and the first thing I did was to put my ass on any seat at the back and start taking pictures of it (the packaging only though)..

I hesitated to open the box, but still I did, and damn it, ITS SOoOooo COOL… its so small… with the height less than a pencil, it seems like it can fit into any tissue paper plastic; ya and you still got remaining spaces! (tested!)

Ofcoz, it has got colors and can be used as a portable harddisk as well, just that I find it too light? LOL.. damn nice.. Today seems like a very good day to me =))

Fire in neighbourhood..

I am not into real case of cursing people; but something bad happened in my neighbourhood.. and this kinda thing pretty sucks alot. Just keep that in mind, no matter what you do, think of consequences.

The picture of the flat that is affected.. Police suspected it could be arson, I suspect that too.. but it may come from a cigarette butt because there can be people at the void deck.. It may be unintentionally though, but thats definitely not an excuse that they could get away with!

DOOM-ified

Its a nice movie, what else can I say? Most of you would probably think that The Rock is the main lead.. and most probably he won’t die, etc. But you’re wrong. The ending was that he became evil and even killed one of his soldiers with his gun for defying his order.. The actual hero got shot by something and ended up being injected with the virus by his sister who is an archaegologist.. Apparently this virus screwed up the whole research and ended up infecting their labs with extreme danger. This virus works differently on different people; bad people become extremely lethal while good people will become extremely godly. (something like that?)

Its nice.. to know more, well, go watch the show yourself!

Ice-skate, ktv, seoul garden, suntec mini game!

i.Family event: Ice skate today.. but I forgotten to wear a higher socks (damn it I kept on reminding myself last night already!) I wore an ankle sock and the skates are hurting my legs =/ Couldn’t bring myself to enjoy it to the fullest!

So end up, a few people also feel painful and tired, so 9 people went to kbox (only 4 left to ice-skate)… I really didn’t want to go to kbox because its a long time ever since I last ice-skate (1.5 year only though) but.. I still prefer to ice-skate.. Just the the pain is killing me and now theres 3 blisters on my legs now..

After that, we went to Jurong point to have our dinner.. (Didn’t want to make the trip down to the Marina bay anymore.. everyone’s tired and the travelling time might piss everyone off I think..)

With that, alot of people became very high during the dinner and it was very enjoyable.. Alot of things going on and made everyone laughed their asses off.. Even after the dinner, we were still very high until the MRT..

Met some stupid bitches on the MRT.. Yongda told Karen to take pics of 1 of the pretty girl.. then she tried and she caught the wrong one.. then when I wanted to try, I saw the girl looking at the screen as if something’s wrong so I gave up, only took a blur shot earlier on.. Anyway think she caught Karen because she only talk to Karen most of the time, Yongda and me was beside so we tried to protect our interest… I guess the girls didn’t know the whole cabin was our people, but still we didn’t want to invite trouble, so Cannonz suggested us to leave at the next stop.

So we went out and they followed with alot of mumblings and vulgurities; typical chao ah lian, you would expect things like.. "where you 1", "come fight", "I calling my friends come down, got balls don’t go", etc.. I was singing away ignoring their pritches.. I don’t need them to teach me. They followed awhile and then went back down to the MRT again.. Cannonz suspect they will be downstairs waiting for us; how dumb can this kinda people be anyway? They can wait for all we care. So the alternative way is to take bus.. Karen and Miao Juan left for their busstop while the rest of us went to Suntec.

Since the dinner I have been holding on to my bladder and its time I can finally release, then after the sensation, Jeremy wanted to check the timings for the bus Express 518.. then we went together and it stopped. Just when we were returning to the entrance where we came in, I saw the shutter closing down.. I was like "oh shit!! RUN!!" I managed to slide in, with Weian, Cannonz, Ivan and Yongda.. and guess what? Then Cannonz tried to tell the security guard that our friends are still outside, he ignored his voice and continued shutting the door, then left away.. Now only 5 of us here.. and THE ENTRANCE IS LOCKED!!! Damn why did I slide in!! So pissed.. No exit.. I thought we would be locked. Nevermind, we went in to a door which had a staircase that will lead us to the carpark and with the information inside the carpark, we found our way out.. Better still, alot of people WERE FOLLOWING US. LOL. I think they really don’t have a clue in getting a way out!

Anyway, its a fun day out! Ivan concluded that he had enough fun during the holidays, but for me, I think alot of fun will still come to me =)

BBQ @ ECP

Managed to sleep until 4pm.. feeling alittle wierd, packed my guitar and went to Parkway Parade to meet my 203f friends.. They had met earlier for some activites.. I knew I would wake up late so I told them not to wait for me..

Still, I joined them in shopping for the BBQ foods in Giant and then, Sunny Xin Xian Sheldon and Me went back to the pit first to start the fire. Because of the charcoal (4kg weight) and our laziness, we took a cab back =P

We started the fire, and ofcoz good food comes into our mouth after that though there are people who didn’t lift a finger in helping out at all (you know who you are), we still made this BBQ a very successful 1 =)

phuture/zouk, Chinablack

Went to meet Wei an, Justin and Jeremy at Tampines MRT yesterday night at 9pm, then we went down to China town to meet Ming Liang, and then we went to phuture(a club).When we reached there, there were alot of people already; all queing up to enter the clubs (Phuture and Zouk are just next to each other).. We forgot that today’s a holiday and there are alot of NSmen who will be out and will be spending their night there..We joined the que at phuture and queued for 1.5hours and then the bouncers told us that the club is FULL.. crap man, we queued so long and ended up like that.. So we went over to Zouk and I tried to cut the que.. but the situation is similar to phuture and we didn’t want the same stuffs to happen to us again, then we took a cab down to Chinablack.Alittle regret here and there; I have been to Chinablack before and there wasn’t anything much.. there’s a crowd there also but we managed to get the tickets from a reseller and cut the que (phew!)Justin and I had a great fun there (I think I was too high.. damn!).. danced all the way unti 3am when we lost sight of Justin, we decided to go out to the 7-11 at far east for a break.. its cooling anyway.. and we managed to catch a short wink there..Then we waited for the first train in the morning and leave Orchard.. at 6am..

A tiring but fun day..

Went to bedok 85 to la-kopi with Wei an and Ivan, they cycled there while I drove my dad’s van there.. we didn’t leave that place until it was 6am and we told each other not to fall asleep when we reached home.. Just right after I drove the van out of there, I mounted a kerb (due to the drowsiness) and then I realised that I couldn’t maneuver the van properly at all, and the van had problem reaching the speed of 50km/h.. Worried as I was, I drove the van to my dad’s work place and checked the condition; indeed there was a punctual in the tyre. I left the van there and went back home in a bus instead.

Once again, after I reached home, the drowsiness hits me again and I fell asleep.. I was supposed to meet them again at 8.15am, and so, they left for kayat at ECP first. It wasn’t until 11am that I finally opened my eyes and realised I was late and I couldn’t join them at ECP anymore, so I stayed home alittle longer and created my online photo album..

Then I went to meet them at Parkway Parade where we played pool and right after that, we went for our KTV session.

Cheers guys; it was a fun day!
