A Funny Day Indeed

Here's a funny event that happened in my class last year, during one of my art lessons. It started out when the teacher arrived and entered my classroom,a male teacher to be exact. He want us to draw a 3D perspective sketch. He then showed us how to draw it and this is when the funny part happens. My teacher was talking aloud to the entire class while swinging his marker pen around. By accident he POKED the face of a girl he was walking pass and the girl retaliated by SLAPPING the marker pen. Everyone including myself kind of ROFL(roll over the floor laughing) and LOL(laugh out loud). The teacher glared at the student and said a bit of Islam prayers and words meaning he was amazed/spooked/OhMyGoodness..... that something like this can happen whereas the girl just smiled a little. That was one of the funniest things that I experienced in my life.

Internet Provider Issue

IT started during the 2010 Chinese New Year holidays on Monday(15th of February). When I woke up this morning my siblings told me there wasn't any internet connection. A week past then came Tuesday(23rd of February 2010). On that Tuesday, I woke up and to my surprise the internet connection came back. I log in to Facebook and some of my friends complained about the one week internet connection problem. All of them cussed at TmNet(too bad I can't show it though for privacy reasons). It continued as so for about three days until on that week's Friday(26th February 2010) at about 1.30 p.m. the internet connection is gone again. Oddly,on the same day at 6.00 p.m. the internet came back and stayed so until 10.30p.m. After that,once again, totally no internet connection until 7th of March 2010 at 9.15 p.m. then connected once again. Unfortunately, once again after that day internet was disconnected until 4.30p.m. then reconnected.

My family tried to contact TmNet twice both on the first and second weeks' Friday respectively. On the second time we tried to rebate the two weeks of no internet connection. We contacted their help service and they ask us to go to the technical department of their company but then in that department they ask us to go to the billing department. This is outrageously foolish of them. They should have told us to go to the billing department in the first place. Although they told us to contact the billing department but we were unable to reach them.

Frustrated and fed up of them, we stopped contacting them. Miraculously, the internet connection came back and stayed as normal. Oddly this second weak of internet connection issue did not affect my friends except for a few who have experienced the same problems. To wrap it up, internet connection returned and stay so on the 8th of March 2010.

This is the "heart-rendering" and fairly troublesome event was caused by metal thieves that took some internet cables near the outskirts of my neighbourhood. I couldn't be sure why on the second weak a few of my friends and I had no internet connection whereas most others have. There have been a few words from my friends that the internet is faster now while others said it was slower. I find it a bit faster than before the Chinese New Year holidays. Either way, all is well and I'm happily using the internet as I typed this.

Lousy Electric Supply

Yup! As the title says, really lousy electric supply. Yesterday at about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, my house had 'almost' no electricity. When I mean 'almost' I really mean it because I can still turn on my television but the lights couldn't except for the orange lights. It's very odd because I thought televisions use up more electricity than fluorescent light bulbs. A few smaller electrical appliances that can still work includes my hand phone recharger, Astro decoder and a wall fan. Besides that, the weirdest part was that some of my other neighbours have full electricity but weaker than usual.

On the following day which is today, another electric supply problem occurred at 4.30 p.m. . This time it was a black out. It lasted about 10 seconds. How weird is that? It hasn't even been 12 hours yet and it happen again. As I'm typing this post, the street lamps in my neighborhood are still down because of the damn black out and not even one damn technician came and check it out as if giving a chance for any burglars to break in. In short, my country's electricity company is undependable, inefficient and most of all, useless!!!!!
