Internet-hates-me day

Wah lao eh~ today the internet really hates me. firstly, today we all had to meet up in school to do the bioinfo project. So, i just bring my laptop to school and do prj la.. haiz~ but who noes, i dunno why my lan card can't detect the lousy nus wireless network. i tried and tried to troubleshoot but to no avail. little do i noe that my "trouble-shooting" indeed shot some trouble to me at night.

So at night, after gg for the good friday service at jolene's church, i was about to upload the photos to my email so that tmr we can use the photos to do the soci prj. but when i tried to dial up my internet connection, i found out that there is some setting missing from my usual dial-up pop-up box. The info missing is under Dial: "p0,100" which i actually forgotten what is it initially.

Hence, thinking tt this shld be an easy task for the singnet helpdesk pple, i called the technical helpdesk trying to fish out what impt details in the setup was missing. i tried explaining to the bastard who picked up my call, but he just i think din catch wat i was saying and str8 away want me to go internet options and delete my dial-up connection! i was like wat the hell do u need to delete my connection setting when i only had one impt stuff missing and i honestly think tt as long i typed in the correct things i will be able to connect to internet.

that bastard after asking me to delete my modem dial up setting, asked me to type some stuff 192.168.1.254 into my internet address bar. i was even more pissed cos i cant see the logic doing this! and then later he asked me to set up a new connection and again it din work. so nvr mind, the bastard asked me to take my lan cable and plug out the usb cable. i was wat the fuck? i dun have a lan cable wat do u expect me to do? and he keep on telling me wat the lan cable looks like... Oh my gosh!!! then he told me to bring out the modem cd and uninstall the modem and reinstall it. then while waiting to restart my com.. he hung up on me... WAT the Fuck is the attitude!! and all the above took me like 30 min and i haven solve the problem

So the fury pam called again and this time i bet its the same person who had hung up on me who answered my phone now. they sound the same anyway. so this person, trying to speak with an accent and claims tt we have not spoken b4.. haiz~ watever la i just want my stuff to be fixed... so, i told him wat had happened to me b4 and wat he colleague did to me. in the end i tried to reinstall the cd back and the original dialer appears and the Dial: "p0,100" appears back on my screen! and after keying my password i can go online le.... that altogether took me 60 min in all b4 i get my internet fixed and with 2 calls to singnet.

i was like trying to ask him who the colleague is and ask him to check for me. but, he said he is not able to check who he is. please la... singnet is able to check tt at 8am in the morn today i had gone online... how can they not know who the guy was talking over the phone with me just now. i bet they make a record on every calls... think i stupid or wat...

well, that shows how good is the service of singnet in providing technical support... and how much the internet loves me today!! i only want to upload my photos but in the end took like 1 hr to do it... Great!
