down on luck

WTH... WTF... y all d electronic stuffs seem to wanna oppose me? eveything seemed to give me prob 1 aft another since end aug...

1st, my samsung omnia i900 phone which went dead on messagin so i end up usin an old sony k750i which got 'C' button missin

2nd, my sony k750i phone 'back' button went missin but luckily my mobile plan can upgrade & dad got me an iphone 4 so tot everything peaceful

den, 3rd, my miobox give me prob in midst of online discussion in d middle of d nite when my gp & i was in rush to prep presentation & Q&A & d prob lasted for days w me skippin classes, & work, etc to try to solve it for days

so everything shld b finally at peace right? got new phone, new miobox... but...

today, i not sure if it's cos of me droppin my iphone by accident at ard 6.45 am? it went dead on me at ard 7.45 am when i plug my ear piece to listen to my mp3. if really tt prob, den y i can still call & exchanged quite a few sms b4 i go out for sch? & to make things worst, it went dead when i alrdy out of hm...

i in dilemma then cos i'll b v late if i go back hm & i d 1st person to sign out for d keyboard, etc for d discussion area which d lib known s learnin pod. yet i cant think well then... only noe i need to get to sch to log in for d learnin pod so i can only think tt even if i get old phone oso no use cos d sim card for iphone was much smaller than normal sim card... yet i feel super no gd cos i'm totally out of contact tt i decided to rush back hm aft rmbrin i still got d hk sim card which i hope it didn't expire.

thus, aft log-in for d learnin pod, rush hm. managed to find a nice cab uncle who chat w me on my journey back & even wait for me downstairs while i go hm to find my phone & hk sim. he didn't even collect any money for d trip fr sch cos he said he trust me. anw, b4 he volunteered to wait, i did tot of tt actually. don make so much diff cos he wait will charge $$ but if i take another cab will oso got d additional $$ when get in & i'll ve to wait for another cab. since tt uncle volunteered, i agreed.

in d end, didn't wan mum noe but when i wanna dig for my phone & sim, she keep standin behind to see & i'd to try to chase her to do her things but she still come back in again. so even aft i found d phone, i cant check if d sim is inside & had to hide inside d bathrm to check. yet, i cant seemed to call out, etc so i was worried tt d hk prepaid sim had expired which was really d case s i fail to call my friend to test when i was finally in sch. it really felt sucks when everything seems to go wrong. luckily d discussion followed by lunch got joke ard to make my day feel better.

aft lunch, while my friends go back, i went to 7-eleven to get a prepaid sim card cos i'm totally out of contact. well, not tt many ppl would contact me but i would need to be contactable if needed be esp dear. he at work & not sure when he b back & he did say he would meet me but whr would i b when he finish work? would i b hm by den? would his mom prep dinner yet i go all d way hm & in d end my mum oso prep my dinner? or would i b at d service centre?

anw, tokin bout service centre, apple didn't seemed to ve any service centre tt can b found fr d apple website & singapore only got retailer & not d main apple shop. so i can only either go to 1 of d shop to check or check w d telcom but was worried i got referred to here & thr fr d news of d broken glass panel for d backin of d phone.

i oso found tt d warranty is so limited tt it exclude fault cos by accident & yet i can hear something loose inside my phone when i shake it almost beside my ears so i was worried tt they will conclude tt it's cos by accident & wan me pay. iphone is a nice phone to use. 1 of d nicer phone w nice customize applications to load. yet seein all these limitation in warranty & no service centre make me actually regret gettin d phone. shld ve gotten mayb nokia or something s reliable w easier access of support, etc but no point to regret nw.

in d end, w d prepaid card, call m1 service ctr (i'd been a 'fan' of customer service ctr recently) & d 1st person i tok to actually say tt i shld get my dad to bring d phone to m1 customer service ctr at think paragon or so. -.-" i purposely don wanna tell esp cos i drop d phone which my dad got for me. he sure will b angry & grumble & nag non-stopped for v long period of time. tt's y i don like him to buy such things for me cos i'll feel more stress. tt's oso y i'd been payin my own bill so tt i no need to ans to him on hw i use, etc. & it'll b worst if really not covered by warranty & we gotta pay for d servicing.

howeevr, lucky me. d 2nd person i was put to which was apparently d support for iphone prob teache to do a hard reset by pressin d power & d home button till d apple logo appear on d screen & it worked. thus, i no need ask dad go down & he wont noe. tt's y when i go back hm, didn't wanna let mum noe my phone got prob.

though i managed to solve & revive my phone, it was too late cos i alrdy made a wasted trip back home & took my old phones & d expired hk sim which i end up oso like phoneless.furthermore, i went to get d prepaid card & made a wrong decision to get d $15 card w a value of $18 instead of d $8 card w a value of $10. tt's cos i not sure when i'll get back my phone & it'll b even wasteful if i wanna get d top-up value card again. in d end, my iphone was revived & i think my prepaid card still got $15+ value. so i spend unnecessary $24 for d cab & another $7 for a more valued prepaid sim.

but... at least d prob is solved which is better than gettin screwed by my parents. tt $$ could ve been my lunch for mayb 10 days but wat to do? luckily i got d small sum of $$ fr d bursary which i applied & d part-time work i got nw. all i can hope for is tt i can last till i graduate. if can till then, be gd enough but may not ve $$ for a graduation trip which ppl advice me to s i would not b able to take long leave once started workin. but i can see my $$ is gettin lesser & lesser. stress fr sch, stress financially, & stress fr hm & den all these electronic stuffs givin me prob. wish i'm a kampong gal so i can no need all these stuff. den use 飞鸽传书 will do. if fail still got 鸽子to bbq & eat & yet no need spend so much $$ & time on all the troubles...

hope everything b alright & smooth fr nw... been really down on my luck in term of all these electronic faults... ^*&^$%%$
