[ streamyx-less and frustrated ]

here's a little story on why telekom/streamyx fellas are a bunch of morons no matter what they do to make me happy... eventually they show their true colors [ie, stupidity].

according to the previous post, mon night streamyx got cut so i switched to jaring. reason got suspended... i didn't pay a certain amount which i thought [since no one explained it to me] they charged extra but even after they had, they're still charging me an additional 1 month's access fee. so, i called them up, yada yada... said they'll restore it in 24hrs [ie, next day].

tuesday: they call me up in the morn to confirm my reciept number [which i paid up to whatever date i thought it was] and said okay, they'll unsuspend the account. so i was happy, they were happy... it was a happy happy day! unfortunately because i was in college the whole morning and only came home at 2.30pm, my brother tells me the modem is still blinking. blinking means there's not connection which also means no streamyx. fineeeeee.. i decided i'll come home and settle the problem.

but after coming home my mom asked if i wanted to go to sg wang. okay lar, decided to follow since she's been wanting to go and since i also had a reason to go [akabane :p]. bought the hat by the way. it's actually a cowboy hat but who cares... as long as it looks close enuf, i'm fine with it! so back to the story...

at sg wang, the place was packed as usual... one of the reasons why i hate going there... hence that place not being the safest to be at. we went into a shop to look at something and my mom passed me her hp to save some number. so after i did that i gave it back to her... except i didn't give it to her hand but left it on the table next to her handbag. moments later as we're about to leave we see 4 guys, quite suspicious looking and my first thought was to get out of there as soon as possible because first of all... that place we were in, young guys don't exactly need to be there. so thinking that maybe they were planning to rob us or something i quickly made a move to leave and so did my mom. phew.. safe.. right?

well, no. because as we're about to go home, my mom realize she didn't have her phone with her. yeah lar, left it at the shop. so we were rushing to go there and found the lady there.. and my mom being very worried since a lot of her client's phone numbers were in it [yes people, it's best to take precautions and write down all your numbers just in case!!!] and she didn't have a backup. so she asked the lady but she was also in a little distress saying that she didn't see it and that she had just had a tough time with 4 guys [the same ones] who weren't exactly customers but wasting their time in her shop and pissing the hell out of her. so phone taken, nothing else to do.

came home, checked streamyx, down. duh! thought wrong password but later found out no dialtone. what on earth did those morons do... i have NO FRIGGIN' IDEA! so everyday since tuesday i've been bugging them to repair my phone line. not calling streamyx of course but telekom themselves since it's the line with the problem not the internet. who knows in what condition the net status would be once the line ACTUALLY works.

this is the most crucial time of all for me to have the internet access down. bloody hell!! i need to finish up my project due at the end of this month... was suppose to get an extention but i have idiots for college admins. first they said [at the begining of our degree] that the due date for our final year project [fyp] is on the 30th sept. then last week we had a project briefing from the project manager and it seems the COMPUTER made a mistake. yeah rite.. and that our actual due date is on the 24th sept. oh joy! one week earlier instead.. and here we were requesting for an extention up to hopefully 2nd week of october.

then we sent the petition all.. asking for 4-5 weeks [simply put to the max lar.. hoping we get at least 2 weeks]. this was done before they told us our due date was on the 24th and the other day told us they'll give us an extention to.. guess what... the 30th. how dumb is that???!?!! it's bascially not an extention AT ALL!!! only 33 days left and i'm gonna die soon. no part of my program is working... my documentation is only 1/2 finished of which i still have to look thru and maybe redo some parts. grrrr..... geram-nya!!

did i mention i have exams on the 8th & 10th of sept, a presentation on the 2nd and i need to finish up my part of the doc for the upcoming project presentation??

and now with the no internet... it's even harder to do my work since i need to frequently refer to the internet resources, examples, etc. so last resort is... wireless. thank god for extra power sockets and hi-speed wireless connections. and an account and a laptop to go with it all. i managed to find out and research on one part of my program today. hopefully with whatever i've collected, i can start figuring out and developing it.

tomorrow is gonna be a busy day again. will not be at home for most of the day... back only late afternoon... then see lar, i guess i can continue where i left off. hopefully by then the line is working. need to top up hp credit, jaring and buy stuffs. hmm.... just a reminder to myself of the things i'll have to do soon!! :)

such a fun filled week it has been. can't wait for more >_>
