I am so pissed...

Our beloved internet service provider has crossed the line. Inefficiency has gone too far.

Let me tell you a story.

On last Friday, I I received a call, it was from Streamyx, Bintulu. The lady on the line explained to me that someone from Bintulu canceled his streamyx subscription and apparently they have the same username as ours, and they canceled our's instead. Imagine my shock when I heard it, even worse she asked if I could wait for one month for the new installation. As if we canceled our subscription, regret cancelling and now want to install back. WHAT THE FUCK??? An avid internet yours truly could NEVER accept such terms. As this fact was made clear to the lady, she said she will do what she could. She also asked whether we have another telephone line and whether this was our only telephone line. Who did she think she was talking too?? Who would be so stupid to own 2 residential telephone lines in one house??

After a while, she called back, saying that their people will install the line back on Monday, because they do not work on weekends. Being patient as I am sometimes, I accepted the terms, in promise of a working internet connection on Monday.

Thus began the agony of no internet connection over a weekend...luckily, the weekend went well without internet.

Then came Monday, I tried to connect, failed. The lady from Bintulu called again, saying that they installed the line already and changed our username. Again, no resistance was taken. She said, now I must wait for tomorrow for their computers to filter and "recognise" our new username. I was starting to get irritated.

Then came Tuesday, again I tried to connect, again I failed. In frustration, I called the lady from Bintulu, it went unanswered. Then I came to realise that they only start working after 2.30pm. I never knew lunch hour ended so late. Now she said my father had to activate the account from his handphone number only. He was a man difficult to contact but I succeeded. After my father called because he already sent the activation sms, I tried to connect again. What do you know? It failed. Then I called the lady from Bintulu, now she says that she will help me check why I failed. Tired of waiting on-hold for a few minutes, I hung up. She called back almost instantly, explaining to me that she contacted the Kuching people, said that they haven't ''jumper'' the system, whatever that means... Then she asked me to try tonight because they are gonna "jumper" it tonight. I tried at 8 something, and again at 9 something. After failing for so many times I went to Bing, answer to how am I able to post this when I have no internet connection at home.

This experience really makes me so so frustrated about the ineffeciency of other people. What must other people be like that?? Even in school, I have to face this kind of crap. I told a girl to come to my class at the beginning of recess, she nodded and I waited in class, after she didn't show up, I had to look for her to make her come to my class, why something so simple cannot be remembered?? Then, Lim Poh Yiin owes me money. Since Friday did she owe me money, I thought she would pay me on Monday, but she didn't. I asked the money from her on Tuesday, you know what did she say?? "Oh, I haven't collected the money yet" You know she's a treasurer? I don't think she knows how to be a treasurer la, collect money so late after the notice has been sent out, even more people will forget to bring the money or they will use up the money already! I just can't stand useless irresponsible people.... I don't mean to point fingers, I would just say who is it.

To lazy to change font, very sien, very pissed, very angry.
You streamyx people can go fuck yourselves.

Long's BornDay

Report of 3rd of July 2009
Time: 9pm
Condition: Freakin rained man...
Location: Tarot Cafe
Occasion: A Friend's Bornday

The planning for this occasion was conducted several times, and due to false hopes of no tuition and no need to attend class, various alterations were carried out, including the time and place.

It is suspected that the person of the occasion knew what was going on the whole time because the discussions as I see them were not that discrete. ==

After class, badminton and chemistry tuition, we proceeded to the venue amidst heavy rain and water puddles.
