My whole place’s all stuffy. My brother resorted to sleeping downstairs (we had 2 levels) and I start sleeping with an open window. I have never slept in my room with an open windows before in this house. Another first time I guess. When I sleep I want it to be real quiet and with my window open I hear clearly the sounds of vehicles zooming around.
It just occurred because our air-con went down again. Well, it didn’t go down to be exact. My aircon sort of peed onto the ground at night when it’s too cold or something. It’s an annoyance. The aircon guys would come and start doing crazy things to the aircon to fix its bladder.
But, well, it never did work. I am pretty sure that my aircon just got this uncurable disease. The aircon people came and went, came back and went back, and each time they made a fuss out of things. My father got really angry and my mother got impatient. I got the blame for choosing the aircon when we bought the house.
Each time they come to our house, they would clear the pipes and try to upkeep it here and there and we can’t switch on the aircon fo 4 days. It starts to frustrate me already.
It’s funny that someone would actually go review the Transformers preview. I haven’t watch the movie, probably be watching it next week or something. I kinda grew up watching Transformers and but I can assure you that I do not remember a thing about the cartoon except that it’s about a bunch of robots that actually transforms.
Watching this little preview prepared me for the movie, I’ll just go watch the robots kicks some ass. The guy is right about Michael Bay though. But isn’t Michael Bay films about the effects and the fast action?
Those frigging faggots automatically subscribe Pioneer Magazine and deduct money from me. Seriously, we ought be have an opt-in feature instead of the current opt-out. That’s what I fucking hate about Singapore. So many by-default thing. When I die they want to take my organs by default; when I am alive, they want to take my money and mail me some trashy Pioneer magazines. Seriously, how many people is required to scream right back to them that we don’t want to spend money on the magazine. I don’t even read it! It’s like a company newsletter twice as bad.
Pioneer Magazine is a monthly publication that the Ministry of Defence sends me. I read them before but nothing interest me. It goes into the trash within 2 minutes for me. My friends use it to fold into boxes to put in fish bones during dinner time. I’m just afraid it would actually spoil my appetite only.
In Singapore, we used to have those one-cent coins. Today they’re no more. And I’m glad they killed the one-cent coin. It is just a bloody waste of time counting those one-cent coins or pennies. You probably would have earned more money if you have lesser coins to count and can thus translate in to faster queues.
NS (National Service) is for everyone, NS is a crime, NS is a must for all, NS waste of time.
I’m slightly amused by this one. All Singaporean abled men are to serve a mandatory national service for 2 years. They are to get miserable pay and some, like me, get to stay in quite a lot. It kinda awoken my anti-national-service sentiments. Well, anyway, as much as I dislike the Singapore army, I sort of finish serving it already. Still liable for reservist though.
The network is rather slow right now. There are some network issues in Asia due to Japan-to-USA overseas cable issues. I had a really hard time upgrading WordPress, my FTP connection gets disconnects every now and then, thankfully it would auto resume and upload after a reconnection.
The internet has been around for several decades and I thought it would have been robust enough to overcome such problems by going through an alternate route. But it only seems to me that while browser technology and broadband gets adopted faster and faster, the underlying cables probably aren’t able to catch up or something.
We now demand faster downloads, we scream when a 30Mbps connection isn’t transfering just as fast. I think it’s time to stop inflating the bloody bandwidth value and lie more cables!
Some of the most annoying situations I had with people. They can be friends, relatives or friend of my friend. Here are the 3 basic things you should not be asking me for a favor.
# Never request that I bring my own CD to install on your computer. I do not have a Windows XP CD, if I had one, I don’t have an additional serial number to spare. Stop asking me for my Windows XP CD. It is an OEM edition! Likewise, if you need any software CD reinstallation, please provide me with the software CD. I don’t have serial numbers to spare.
# I don’t hardware. Try not to ask me about hardware, unless I so happen to be planning on buying a computer. If I don’t plan to buy within that next 3 months, I am out of date and know nothing of the current computer hardware trends. And don’t ask me to fix your hardware too, I really don’t know how to.
# Please respect my decision not to help you. I am not willing to learn products that I do not use. You have a problem with Nero? I don’t use Nero. Have a problem with your router, make sure it is a Linksys router. I am just unwilling to learn how to troubleshoot specially. Don’t ask me Starhub questions.
