Electronics jinx

My desktop miraculously came alive when I returned with Minibean today(she has such a nice tan now).

Yet, MSN still is going through its rebellious stage, and refused to cooperate. Thus, I am left with little else to do, but to surf news, surf online shops, read/refresh blogs, facebooking, and…. blog(however, I am feeling extreme laziness, and I refuse to upload the pictures of my doctor, who made my blush a little today, from my camera).

So. Another bad news.

The television in my room, has officially gone on strike.

It should have retired honourably long, long ago, yet my cheapskateness frugal-ness had made its $150 price tag (10 years ago) stretched to its max.

And this month, I am only working for half a month. And this month, I have already overspent. And this month, I was planning to get myself a new notebook.

Now, I am thinking of the most treacherous betrayal….

… Selling the notebook that tide my through my loneliness last night, and had travelled across the continents with me to Moscow, so it could fund my new lust.

Then again, my new company has told me they would provide me with a notebook and it will not be essential for me to get one, so….

… now I am thinking should I sell it to fund my TV. :(

I am now guilt-ridden, like a cheating lover.

But, with my untrustworthy HP desktop, it is hard not to have some form of backup.

Dilemma, dilemma, dilemma. Indecisiveness, indecisiveness. Tsk!

No TV, no rockband. No TV, no SCV. No TV… no wii. HUH! How can? And all these factors are seriously tempting me to get something wide(yes, baby, size matters), something flat(like how tummies should be), something that mounts….

Can someone remind me to be frugal?!

I am more annoyed than devastated(only because I still have some part of internet going on for me). What’s going be next? My phone?

CHOI!

Sigh.

Oh well, at least things are going on pretty alright for today, and I pretty much got everything I needed to do, done.

I even got my eyes checked(But doctor said I look good in glasses too. Cough). My knee too(X-ray prescribed. The radiologist better be cute). I flashed the doctor too(Having a doctor twisting you leg and moving your joint in a short skirt while lying down, is an art).

So basically, I am having Rheumatic Disorder. At the grand, old, age of… 24(assuming this pain started waaaayyy back then). The doctor laughed when he asked me how old I am, and I was tempted to ask him if I look 80.

I was told to take pain killer before I exercise next time.

Like seriously?

Does that mean if I were to exercise everyday, I will have to pop pills everyday?

Okay, I think I have found the perfect reason not to exercise.

And the next time, I don’t need a doctor, cos I know exactly what I would be given – a walking cane.

Did I mention I am having tummy upset, like, again?

I think I have been waaaaaay too negatives in these posts, so in a total twist of tone, I shall happily announce……

…. I am broke!

But I am excited.

My online shopping should be reaching me tomorrow, and I have new orders for some other stuff too.

Scarily, I have been buying nothing but dresses. And I am surprised that I still have a girly side(!).

The damage done is too huge, and I told myself I have done enough shopping for the next half year. Or when the urge comes again, I will just think I am shopping for what I had missed out for the past half a year.

You see, at least clothes don’t break down on you.

Though they better not turn up with faulty zips, holes here and there, and heaven forbids, too small for me.

I think I might have severely underestimated my size.

Sulky

I think my not-so-good luck is not applicable to only Tuesday.

My Wednesday was one where I had insatiable urges to barf, and yet I had to withhold within.

My work MSN didn’t work. :( So I was feeling incredibly isolated from the rest of the world.

I thought it would be better.

I joined Effy and Yv at Tiong Bahru, but since I would be heading home for dinner, I decided not to join them for dinner but to get treatment for my hair.

While my head was tucked under some weird machine, a loud “thud” was heard, and I saw a spark in the reflection of the mirror.

Because I was so tired, and so used to how everything that could go wrong, goes wrong, I just sat there, unruffled, unperturbed, expressionless, while some others had jumped up in shock or just… thought something had exploded.

I sat there patiently while they tried to sort it out, wondering if my brains might be fried, and not doing anything about it.

We headed home to play mahjong with my mum, and when it ended, I realised my internet connection died on me.

I have no idea what’s wrong with it, and it is still not settled after an hour’s of SOS call to Singnet. All I know that I felt faint, pukish, and the blood sept away from my face when I realised my modem is connected well, but I could not surf, nor could I connect my MSN.

The technical help ran me through almost everything and anything, and then you know what happened?

He said he had to call me back, cos his computer on THAT side suddenly crashed on him.

Like SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!

Got this jinxed or not?

And then, he told me he couldn’t help me cos there shouldn’t be anything wrong.

And he asked me if there is anyone at home with is IT savvy to help me.

Hmmm.. I told him sweetly that if there is, I wouldn’t be calling him with tears in my eyes, feeling so absolutely helpless.

Can anyone tell me what’s wrong with my desktop??

I ended up sitting on my living room floor, stealing wireless from my neighbour just to be online for 5, mere minutes on the notebook.

I know, I know, I am THAT desperate that I need to feel connected to the rest of the world before I concluded my night.

***

And someone told me I am a thief in many other aspects. I demand an illustration to this assassination of character. Tsk tsk.

I came to work today and asked my colleague, “Sigh, do you know of any IT savvy people who can tell me what’s wrong with my desktop?!”

I was given a duh-stare. Well, I am in an IT company with the servicing lane just next to mine.

I called out to David, and asked, “Hellooo handsome, do you want to drop by my house tonight?”

He laughed, and he didn’t agree. So my problem is still not solved!!!

I went for farewell lunch earlier today.

And I got an MP3 player as my farewell gift, and I kinda asked why it wasn’t a notebook instead. Giggle.

But still, I was genuinely surprised to have a gift even.

I came back with tummyache.

And now, I am going to the clinic.

Like, seriously…..

And I think of the horror that I would head home without internet connection.

But there sure is something for me to look forward to, tonight.

And that is, having baby back in my arms! Yay!
