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!
