Events of a Normal Guy

Everyday Life

Its been some time

Its been some time since i last blogged.. been busy with lots of stuff and been through certain events which caused me to neglect my blog… First problem why i have not been updating this blog is because of laziness.. i’ve been so lazy to do many things till i’m way behind schedule for my fyp… secondly.. i am not sure what to write or share… sometimes hard to find materials to write about.. If i were to write what happened to me everyday… it will be kindda generic… Starting of the day.. Wake up, eat, see anime, see movie, play games, eat, play games, see the morning sun, and then sleep. Not a very progessive life style i have.. haha! anyways.. finally took the time to sit down and update this blog of mine..

 Recently i updated the firmware on my handphone, it was working fine for the first few weeks.. then suddenly.. during bible study… my phone displayed “Inactive Sim Card”… my reactions to is was “…..”… then i thought turning it off and on again.. tried that.. and the next moment i discovered.. my handphone does not want to boot up at all! does not turn on and the only thing i see that give me a sign that the phone is not totally dead is the blinking red light i see at the infrared port.. this sucks.. After this depressing discovery… i remembered one thing.. ALL MY CONTACT NUMBERS ARE STORED IN THE PHONE MEMORY!!! so… if i dont have your number.. i’m trully sorry.. i only have a partial backup of my contact numbers in my other phone… my old and trusty nokia 3120… other than that..updated list of contacts are all gone.. SIGH! I was asking around if any of my friends had someone trustable doing handphone repairs that could also give me a good price on the repair.. i asked Amy who had a cousin working in Mid Valley… i went to Mid Valley with 33 to find that shop that Amy’s cousin was working… 33 knew the location of the shop but not sure which booth.. so.. i assumed that it was the first shop and sent my phone there.. They told me it would be ready in “3 – 4 Working Days”.. i sent it on a friday… and after “3-4 Working days” i called them up… they told me… “Oh Sir… Your Handphone not ready yet la.. should take around 2 more working days.. we will contact you then”.. then after that extended 2 more working days… no call came from them.. then i called them again.. and they told me.. “Oh Sir.. Your Handphone still not ready yet.. another 2 more working days…” This time i was extremely annoyed.. i then told them… “Why is it taking so long?? i’ve sent the phone there for almost a week, and you told me 3 – 4 working days.. until now still not yet finish.. whats wrong witht the phone??”.. then they quickly replied that it was a firmware problem… then i said.. “I need the phone you know… Can it be ready by Friday? i need it then..” they replied saying that they were not sure because it was not them doing the repair.. if they were not doing the repair.. why except my phone then?! it seems they have to send to somewhere else to repair.. anyways.. i told them to finish it as soon as possible hinting them that i want it on friday… guess what.. Friday no call… so……. i decided to cut them some slack and see… saturday.. i called them up.. Guess what.. it took them so damn long to answer my call… First time i called.. they picked up.. asked for my handphone details and receipt number… then after that.. they asked me.. “Sir, can you call back in 5 minutes?” then i gave them 5 minutes… when the 5 minutes was up.. i called again.. and this time.. No one picked up the phone… i then called again… no one pick up.. i called non stop for 10 minutes.. no one pick up… then i paused for a few minutes.. then started to call again.. then same thing.. no one pick up.. called for another 5 minutes *Pissed at that time*… then after around 20 mins… i called again.. and it got through.. they said it was ready…. i was prepared to fire at them if they told me it was not ready.. but since its ready.. i calmly asked if i could go and pick the phone up now.. then they told me yes…. then i started to get ready… 10 minutes later they called me.. it seems that it was very jammed up and i had to give them 2 hours before i could go pick up the phone.. the first thing that came to my mind was that “I think they are only fixing the phone now”… ok la.. din bother about it.. in the end.. i ended up not going to pick it up because i wanted to go get a new mouse from the PC fair.. my current logitech mouse can hardly click… i used the clicker too much till it does not respond sometimes.. still can click but need to use a lot of force.. This makes it the third logitech mouse giving me this problem.. First with my wireless mouse and with my other cheap logitech mouse.. went to pc fair.. and i did not like the mouses i saw.. ended up coming out with only brochures.

In the PC fair, i did saw something that i wanted to get.. after handling it with my hands.. i fell it love with it.. its the HTC TYTN II which caused 3K.. the moment i laid my hands on it.. the moment i told myself.. “I MUST HAVE THIS!” good luck to me in finding the 3K i need to get that phone.. i’m only 50% there.. *i think* I also wanted to have a feel of the dell XPS M1730 laptop which i am going to get at the end of this year.. I went there and all i saw was.. the 13 and 15 inch XPS models.. the 1730 was no where to be found.. what a let down! the best laptop they have and yet they dont display it.. i’m disappointed!!

Another thing that happened to me is that my FYP supervisor was leaving APIIT soon.. leaving halfway in doing my fyp would be kindda bad on me so they found me another supervisor that would replace my current one.. and i got my first lecturer in apiit which i had when i was in foundation 2003 which was Miss Bridget! the handover was a funny one because i actually have Miss Bridget in my facebook account… but knowing that she is my new supervisor.. i gotta buck up even more on my fyp.. the progress on my fyp is not that good but i have confidence i would be able to finish it.. Anyways.. thats that…

Another thing that happened recently was my bro came back to malaysia for a holiday with his fiance and were planning to get registered in Australia this month.. i think they registration is done.. it was supposed to happen on the 7th of December. Anyways.. i met his fiance and i thought that she was nice. I could see that my bro was happy so i’m happy for him.. Brought them around kl and spent some time with them.. we went back to sitiawan together on a sunday.. i was having my holidays so i could go back and visit home.. Reached home.. my house computer was not working properly and i could not do my FYP.. instead.. i ended up playing the XBox the whole day to kill time. There was an incident when i drove my bro and his fiance to the hair dresser.. and the hair dresser asked me if my older brother was my younger brother… >_> i was wondering.. “Do i look that old??” anyways.. it was a funny experience.. but sadly i could not go to australia for their registration ceremony because of my classes and project thus missing out on a long holidays outside of malaysia.. I’m a frog under a coconut shell because i’ve not been out of malaysia before.. even to singapore or thailand.. malaysia’s closest neighbours… But the good thing is that i’m going to Singapore on the 15th to the 18th of this month with my sis, mom and younger bro for a holiday.. YAY! Anyways. thats about it that happened to me.. got some more but i think this post is getting to long.. -Endz-
