The computer is finally here. But at what cost? I wish it never got delivered and the refund was approved. I'm sick of it and I don't even like the design anyway. I wanted another computer but my dad insisted it sucked. Well apparently this was better but look at how things turned out.

Good thing Chris called and scolded them if not I don't think it would've arrived so 'soon'. And I just reconstructed the events for my dad. They can expect a nasty disappointment letter from him soon. Now I won't be able to get a desktop :( probably I'll ask for one when school starts. Even though laptops are portable I still prefer desktops. Not so prone to problems.

Chris wanted to go to South Korea. He loves the korean culture and everything. But well a trip to Korea isn't cheap. I went once with my family about a decade ago or something. Was too young to enjoy everything properly. I feel bad he can't go because of me. I guess that's :)the way he is, always thinking of me before himself. If he went alone he knows I would go crazy. I almost did the time he went to China.

Separation is hard for me to take D: its a bad thing, but luckily it wasn't enough to drive him away :) He never seems to think about himself. Just of me. I'm lucky :D

I never seem to be able to call him my boyfriend. Maybe its because he's more to me than that. That's why I call him Chris. Sigh these one and a half years have passed so fast. He knows more about me than I give him credit for, so there's really nothing new to tell him. He wants me back to work. But with him in NS its kinda not really worth it.

Eh, I don't know why I keep talking about him in this post. I was just letting my mind wander freely I guess. Nothing much has happened. Well, till the next post then. Cheerio.

Gotten a little interested in trumpet music. But yea its deemed as a funeral instrument here. Sigh. Can't find any nice music to listen to.

And I did a "brilliant" thing yesterday evening. I wanted to watch movie and I just booked tickets blindly without looking at the date. We went to the theatre and guess what. The movie was for Wed -.- It was soooo embarrassing and of course I wasted Chris' time. But on the bright side at least we got the back row. It was for the new Singapore movie. Money No Enough or something like that.

Maybe I should go take guitar lessons or something since I got a guitar lying in my room collecting dust. I kinda gave up on that idea after I met VE and which is where my spiritual life went downhill after being so caught up with making money.

NEVER EVER EVER BUY FROM HEWLETT PACKARD (HP).



First,

They give you a notebook that has a faulty hard disk.


Second,

They make you wait 3 weeks for the laptop to be replaced.


Third,

When the laptop finally gets delivered, this time, apparently the motherboard is faulty.


Fourth,

Have to bring it back to the service centre. They promised to get it repaired in about three hours. Then they didnt call. And guess what? have to wait till tomorrow.


Fifth,

"Tomorrow" comes. Sorry unable to complete.


Sixth,

Call about 3 days later and says: UNABLE TO FIX. MADE THE PROBLEM WORSE. Not motherboard issue, whole CPU issue.


Seven,

Asked for refund, not approved. Directed to replacement unit centre (AGAIN)


Eight,

Did not call until a few days later. Will deliver next day. Next day comes, deliveryman does not show up.


Nine,

When you try to call the HP service support, technical care, whatever, either no one picks up, or its engaged for hours.


I know for a fact that HP is open today until 3pm. But the hotline insists they're closed. Even if I call, no one's picking up.


I repeat:

NEVER EVER EVER BUY FROM HEWLETT PACKARD (HP).

I'm afraid my Cabal account will get banned =/

Yesterday night some idiots suddenly kept insulting my guild master and daring everyone from that guild to come out. I messaged a 'shaddup' and him and got myself into trouble >.<

Sigh they kept ksing me and pking me. And I thought Cabal was better than Maple because the players aren't so childish. Guess I was wrong.

I hope I dont get banned for that. They started it anyway and kept scolding vulgarities. And my guild master didnt do anything though he was online. Wth. I hope they leave me alone.

I should learn to keep my mouth shut.


Anyway . . . I went to watch Dark Knight the day before. I didnt like it =/ The joker was very scary. Had my eyes closed the whole time. Next time I'll stick to chick flicks and won't try to be brave anymore.

My dog got an ear infection again. He had one a couple of weeks back but I guess it didnt completely cure. This time my younger sister is bringing him to the vet instead of me. He still doesnt answer to his name. What a bochap dog -.-

It's so boring....

Today was better than expected. Had the chance to spend time with Chris. Lan-ed again at Parklane since my cabal program still has some lag in particular places.

But the lan shop wasn't any better. It took like 2 hours for it to stabalize with some hangs here and there. The computers there really sucked. Or maybe it was just the program.

Other than that.... Booooooring.

Sighs...Rather 'eventful' past two days since I have a normally boring daily routine.

Chris has been staying home often this week. He wasn't really feeling well. My mom was kinda worried abt him, always asking how is he and telling him to rest more.

I met up with Michael yesterday. Or rather, the day before, since today is already saturday. I met him around 5pm then we went for early dinner at PastaMania. My favourite lol. Then we talked for awhile then went to his place. He showed me a little of LOTRO and we watched a movie he downloaded: College Road Trip. Lol the father and daughter pair was damn stupid -.-

Then after that went meet Chris to head down to Paradiz Centre to check out the lan shops. But couldnt find any so went to Parklane. But in the end Cabal was going thru a maintenance so we just headed home.

Then today went to meet up with Xav. He was gonna bring me to this restaurant at Paradiz. We went to Tiong's Mac for awhile before going down. But the restaurant was full due to the peak hour plus it was Friday night. So we waited until about 8:30pm to eat. We had the 7-course dinner.

It was great! Though there were one or two courses that I didnt like, I loved the rest. Especially the . . . GRAPE MELLOW TEA! Omg it was superb. Actually it was Xav's. Well, due to my natural bad taste in things, I ordered the Grapefruit something tea, and I hated it =/ Luckily Xav was nice enough to swap with me :D

Supposedly gonna meet Chris again to play lan since I was near Parklane, but dinner ended late so Chris got a little crabby about going out so late =/ but well he was tired cuz he wasn't fully recovered yet.

Hehe it was a great two days. And just spent the last 2 and a half hours on the phone with Xav as we played Cabal together. He's a nice guy so he decided to entertain me for awhile by downloading Cabal into his com and played with me. Well till now. Thats why blogged so late :D

Well at least he's unlike someone who refused to download Cabal because it's a lame game -.- BLEH.

hehz. Joking.

I can feel that tomorrow's gonna be a looooooooong day. I do not look forward to it.

It's been so long since I blogged!

I want to complain! About my computer. Its only been a few weeks and its back in the workshop again! Motherboard problem this time. Chris was hitting the roof. My dad? Even worse. As a retired gen, he doesnt shout but he raises his voice and his face clearly is displeased, which is a 100x worse than shouting.

Its only been about two months since I got the computer and its been spending more than half the time in the workshop. Damn HP -.- And the service centre was packed so you can see how bad the products are.

My dad was so pissed and so was Chris so you can imagine how helpless I felt when both of them were complaining about the HP service when its not even my fault -.- I should've just gotten Toshiba like my dad. Or a desktop. Which I'm thinking of replacing my laptop with that. Maybe the Asus Essentio CS5110. Its for gaming.

Ooooo speaking of games, I'm off Maple and I started . . . *drumroll please* . . . CABAL!! Its great lol. I'm hooked. And its loads better than Maple.

For starters, you dont have to spend loads of game money to get your next level equips and to spend millions more to scroll it to be the best of best. In Cabal, while hunting or questing on appropriately leveled monsters, you get the equips from drops. And it costs ya nothing. Maybe training cost but thats all.

And you level real fast. Just after a week of playing I'm already going to level 50. Which I took about half a year to get to that level in Maple. If only I started sooner. Hehehehehe. Now if only I can find someone I know in my Maple server I can give my stuff to. I've almost 150mil mesos in that acc. Too back Xiufeng isnt in the same server lol...

I've been using my dad's laptop since mine went for repair. His has a few problems too. Gotta reformat before it works ok. So Cabal isnt working well. Which really irritates me. So I've been going to Cine lan-gaming on the top floor whenever Chris has the time. A tad expensive though. Sigh...

Cant wait till they move out. Then I'll have all the closet space that 6 people used to occupy. My parents use the closet in my room too. I'll probably get my desktop and everything. Wish I could decorate my room like Sims though haha. I'll probably never go out again.

Wanted was better than I'd expected. But I cant say I enjoyed it either. The twist at the end was good though.

But was better than Zohan. I really disliked that show. I didnt know what was going on half the time.


Had a quarrel with Chris this afternoon. He kept asking me to go for this company update and I didnt want to because I've not been to the company for so long and I felt awkward being there. I said no, but he kept pushing and even said that if I didnt go, he'll break up with me.

He didnt mean that, but it still hurt. I told him not to do things that I didnt want to do, and he said next time he wont stay home and spend time with me. Which meant he didnt like to do that.

I didnt know what to say. He said I forced him to spend time with me. I'm starting to realise that maybe this relationship was a mistake from the very beginning.

If he wants to work, sure, go work. I never stopped him. All I requested was a few hours to spend with him, maybe a rare one day a month. If thats so hard and if that isnt what he want to do then maybe its a mistake.

I dont want to marry into that kind of husband that comes home late into the night at 1 or 2am just because he likes it.
