Right, firstly, IT WASN'T ME!!!!!
Can't believe my last post was in January!! Hmmmm.. How do I explain this.. lets just say, a train of events have strutted through my life and left me dry with no internet connection. Actually, it left me with no internet connection and computer for these few months.
Although, not all is bad, good things have had a brief appearance in these past couple of months.
Finally got my keys to the new pad. That's where my reason for no internet connection fits in. With no power yet, I had to sit on the hard, cold marble floor and watch hours and hours of different batches of people coming in to install essential things like.. the lights, fans, cupboard doors, washing machine pipes (which is still driving me mad), and the bed of course!!!
Decided to go for a rattan themed living room, so that cost me an arm and a leg. Or maybe 2 legs. Speaking of installing, half of my kitchen is still in boxes. I'm just waiting for all the festivals to be over so people actually start working.
Daunting event 2 would have to be the rise and fall, and the rise and fall again of my dear laptop. I kinda realised my track pad wasn't working. Percussive repair (a forceful fist to its touch sensitive surface) kind of revived it now and again. Nevermind, it's something I can live with. So I carry on with my normal daily life.. and one day after the famous Macintosh DING (completely distorted and slightly flat as my speakers are long gone), a folder with a question mark on it appeared smack in the center of the blue screen. The only understanding I had of this strange image, was folder (My hard drive) and the big "?" (nothing inside). Calmly, I closed the laptop as I took a long deep breath, hoping this was just some ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic character that is useless in today's society. Convincing myself that it was, I lifted the screen for the second time. And there was that bloody thing flashing in my face!!!! >>> Fast forwarding to Low Yat Plaza >>>>
Had to buy a brand new hard drive, because guess what??? everything was wiped out. Like I said, there is always a silver lining. Bringing in my laptop made perfect sense in the world of coincidences, because when the mac dude took out my battery to replace the hard drive, the battery was completely swollen and would have probably blown me into smithereens if I hadn't taken my laptop in.. and the nice man installed the new Snow Leopard OS X for me :) Anyhooo, couldn't afford a new battery just yet, so I had to settle with my laptop getting its power straight from a power point. Which is fine.
One fine day, I plug the adapter into the socket, and waited for the "charging" green light to come on... IT NEVER CAME!!!! It just never came :( So this will lead on to - expedition at the Mac shop no. 2.
And Jesus, besides having to argue with the salesman what model MY macbook is, a nonchalant looking 60 watt 3 pin power adapter with magnet as the connection tool cost me RM300.
Let"s not talk about the other unfortunate incidences which have strayed me away from updating this page. Let's just say, high delusional fever, bad food and extremely bad tummy aches, which led to a treat : weight loss. NO LONGER WILL I HAVE TO RUN THE HILLS OF AMPANG AGAINNN!!!
