Dear Sony,
Do you have some kind of new technology or method where you implant teeny tiny microchips into the most trivial of products like earphones and program them to function for a certain duration, like 5 months? Or maybe you program them to stop functioning at a certain time where your IT personnel have scheduled a maintenance on your website? That way, customers will feel extremely peeved when their programmed-to-spoil-on-31-Jan-2010-earphones really spoils and they can’t do anything about it except wait until the next day which they probably don’t even have the time to spare to call in? After exchanging my original pair for the first time less than six months ago, it is a terrible understatement to describe it as disappointing that now I am facing the same problem again now!
I would very much like to think of it as a “user problem” since maybe I am the only person in Singapore or Asia or even the world, who gets this kind of luck (or rather the lack of it)? Or maybe I am just the only one who refuses to buy a new pair because I’m not financially able (yet)? But seriously, what can a user do to cause one side of a pair of earphones to spoil? I clean my ears everyday, so it’s impossible if you’re thinking that some of my earwax seeped into the earphone. And if that were the case, is that supposed to imply that my left ear produces more wax than my right ear? Well, that would be interesting information wouldn’t it? I don’t sit on the earphones and crush the wire, I’m don’t think I am even heavy enough to do that. I don’t fold nor press nor pull them. I don’t use the earphones as a skipping rope nor do I use them to hang my laundry. I don’t use them as shoelaces and most certainly I don’t use them to play tug-of-war!
So can you kindly suggest or advise me what or where the problem lies? Or how about I suggest that you just take this set back and replace it with a Sennheiser one of a similar model to this one!
Well, if I weren’t as peeved as I currently am, of course the letter I write would not reek with this much sarcasm. Sad.
This must be the best monday I had since I can’t remember when. Well I aint exactly proud to say I skipped school today to tag along to Pasir Gudang with Ed, As, Jeff and Hui. What else could it be for but to take photos with Ed’s camera? Haha. Managed to take a total of 300+ photos, but I’m guessing at least half are N.G photos. Camera still with Ed and I guess only next week then I can scan thru all the photos to filter out the N.G ones. Feeling excited to to look at the photos, hopefully I got some good shots. After the session went to eat Ramlee burger before going for carwash and some other “errands” on Ed’s part. It was almost 5 by the time I got home and I dozed off into a nap pretty quickly. Considering I didn’t sleep the whole night, even sleeping for only 2 hours felt like 5 hours. All in all, it was great fun going and a great “exposure” (no pun intended) for my whole photography crap (haha) and in the hot hot sunny sunny morning. I got sunburns on my shoulders in the end but I loved the experience!
Weekend was alright. Met with TT and Emi on Friday for dinner at Ishi Mura at Selegie. Jap food court kinda environment, and the food was affordable to a certain extent.
Caught The Vampire’s Assistant with Robin and his friend and girlfriend much later that night. It was an okay show I suppose. Digestible.
Saturday met with Emi again to window shop around Vivo and somehow we suddenly decided to head to dbl o. I happened to be asked out to supper later that night so it was kind of cool that we ended up leaving much earlier and so to supper I went.
Well, I kind of just realised that during the past couple of days I’ve managed to meet up with so many of my friends from different circles. And I think its pretty cool.
Need to start looking for a job already. Sadly no news from any of the IRs. Sucks. Worse thing is, B told me she got an email for an interview at MBS but the position is like some warehouse clerk or attendant which wasn’t even what she wanted when we went to the IR industry preview that time. And she has a diploma in Mass Comm. They didn’t mention any salary but warehouse clerk/attendant? Seriously, how much can one expect from that? And a diploma holder? I really don’t know if I’m supposed to worry about the recognition of my dip and whether will get me to places I aspire. Looks like I’ll have to look out for others already.
For now, it’s time to end this start that.
Finally finished most of my assignments! wooohoo. Left with one last group presentation though… Totally untouched =|
Finally can feel a little relaxed for now at least. Very soon it will be exams, another 2 weeks plus.
Well, it’s Friday already. Have not really been sleeping right these couple of days. Sleeping late because of assignments and activities during the past two long weekends and probably got used to it. Still feel a little emotional sometimes so maybe that plays a part. But I suppose the fact that I don’t blog like, 10 times a day now shows that things are getting better for me.
Well, I don’t deny that I still think of a lot things once in a while and at least everyday. But I no longer want to talk about it because I am tired. The good news is, the thoughts don’t bug me like how they did one month ago. Well, I may appear alright in front of everyone, but the healing process will definitely not be easy for me in this time round. Enough said.
Been listening to some K-pop songs recently. Heh. Somehow taken a liking to the song “Sorry Sorry” by Super Junior. Sounds quite catchy and cool. Went to Wiki the group and realised that a few of their members are actually around my age. I thought they’d all be bunch of teenagers but it’s kinda cool to know some of em are quite “old”. Hahaha.
Alright. Signing off for now.
sometimes when a leopard admits to being a leopard… you’d better be careful around ‘em. and boy am i glad that i did to a certain extent.
and sometimes, when people say a leopard never changes its spots, you’d sure as hell better fucking believe it. especially when people know the leopard better than you ever did.
Met up with Kevin and Boon somewhere in Jurong East to wait for Lincoln and Ming to pick us to go to Marina Mandarin for Shiying’s wedding. The guys decided to give the solemnisation a miss citing that it was a bit rush. All in all, the wedding was not bad at all. Had such a blast especially with the guys’ god damn funny jokes and crazy comedy. Very, VERY entertaining! It felt like there wasn’t even the need to eat, because laughing would be enough to make you full for the night =D Even Wenxin agreed with that statement especially since she also sat with them at the same table at Theresa’s wedding. Haha. Managed to take quite a lot of photos, with the so-called help of Ming… hahaha.
Well, despite that anyone would expect that a bride (or her groom) would usually be quite busy on her big day, I was amazed at the fact that she was rather generous to spend quite a reasonable amount of time with us, her secondary school mates. I am happy for them both =) And I kinda feel “honoured” that I’m the only one among the rest of the classmates who has actually met Eric before. Haha.
Darn, I wish I could hang out with the guys more. Haha then there’d be a whole load more laughter in my life thanks to them =D and interestingly despite waking up a few times during my sleep, none of them were due to any bad or weird dreams, because there wasn’t any at all. Laughter, the best medicine? Food for thought.
Okay, so back to the real world now. Monday boos are here again. Lucky no lesson on Tuesday but I guess that’s my last chance to really do my assignments until at least 90% (so the remaining 10% can be finished up at the last minute haha). Did not do much today but still managed to progress a little. Hopefully will still be able to finish at this rate. Presentations are a little disappointing though. Not all of my group mates are cooperative. One apparently keeps procrastinating until the last minute. Are my expectations too high? Or maybe they just haven’t had the taste of what it is like to really be out there in the corporate jungle? Okay I suppose my expectations are a little high. But then the whole point of doing good for the assignment is to boost up the final grade after all so there is less to worry when it comes to exams (something like that, haha), no?
Went out for dinner with my parents today, after like, eons of cooping up at home and waiting for them to tapao. Haha. Ordered a bit too much food though. Hopefully can try to join them on a more frequent basis… Uses up my free time at home too so I don’t sit at the PC too much.
Alrighty then, off to go try to sleep. Don’t really feel that sleepy but there school later =| gonna have to try…
another fucking dream. what do all these mean?
most importantly, when will it bloody stop?!
today was abysmal.
I was extremely bored at home with nothing to do. although I was sort of asked to a movie but nah. I didn’t want to be an extra and I’d thought of doing a little of my assignment but alas, I ended up with a mind block. I spent some time to photoshop the photos from last night and upload to facebook. then went to search a little on my assignment but still had no idea how to get started.
being home alone kinda added to the boredom feel and didn’t quite help with my moodiness. I guess I kinda get what my dad meant when he told me he postponed this one-day genting trip with my mum cos he didn’t want to let me be home alone. the whole house was quiet and empty without their presence. usually he would be watching tv in the living room and my mum would be in her room watching tv too at a considerably loud volume… I guess it’s times like today when I can feel the significance of their presence even though there isn’t really much communication amongst each other. sigh. It’s quite ironic when I think about it.
Don’t know if it’s me or am i really having difficulty sleeping… or has it become a bad habit? Maybe I should start buying magazines once in a while so I can have something to read till I doze off.
Still feeling bothered by what I mentioned in my earlier post. Well maybe that’s what’s holding me back from feeling sleepy. Hmmm. Wouldn’t it be interesting if we could choose whether we want to erase our memories for the past year, as a new year thing? Then those who had a great year, can choose not to erase. and then those like me who had a considerably good year but it got ruined by some fucked up matters, can just erase it off. Now that’s what I call a “new year, new life”. well what is a new life when u still have the shitty memories of how people u least thought would hurt you, ended up doing just that?
well, it looks like we’re back to emo.
coming to the mid of my long weekend. well, this time I need to buck up on my assignments. cos 2 will be due next week. and I’m not even halfway done.
but I guess at least I started a little. not really sure where to start for CST though. sigh. thought of and analyzed a few locations but can’t seem to figure out where I’m supposed to find what is required. feels like a mind block.
feeling kind of moody since I got home last night. and I think the pms played a part… didn’t realise it until just, like ten minutes ago. heh. don’t know why I couldn’t sleep last night, and I ended up thinking about things again… while I tossed and turned in bed. then just a while ago I had a chat with a friend and I was told some stuff that.. although were things I already knew, it just didn’t feel good seeing the way it was put. not holding anything against my friend but I wonder if the moodiness was a factor in downing my mood after what I was told. it just made me feel so… sick and disgusted.
much as I don’t blame anyone for it, I’m really getting tired of being told the same thing and same old shit everytime. it’s starting to make me feel like there’s always a fucking excuse for whatever I have heard or was told or was so-called promised, like is it something that I’m supposed to be cautious of from the start? Well, fuck it. I think I did that reasonably well although eventually I still caved. Bloody shit.
been feeling a little peeved and tired of certain things recently. not sure why. Maybe too much of some things in life is just not good. or maybe some things just shouldn’t go together too much.
well, despite having gone for a new year countdown and all, I don’t really see what’s the deal with it being a new year and all. and what’s the deal with resolutions? do people only make them just because it’s new year? I think resolutions can be made as and when I like or feel like it, no?
anyway happy new year. heh
