Laptop Issues
I’m bloody pissed by Acer, their product and their substandard service. Its just one problem after another. Last week I was forced to contact them for onsite warranty service because my laptop screen had failed. The technician was four hours late and the screen that he brought was spoilt. So, a new appointment was made. In true Acer tradition, the technician was an hour late. He changed the screen and all was well, or so I thought. Yes the screen worked. But now, according to my laptop’s error messages and reluctance to open my video files, my internet browser and a whole host of other things, it seems that the video card is spoilt! Damn it! I tried to backup my files, and a prompt comes up, telling me that the laptop has insufficient memory to...
Labels Are For Soup Cans, Not People
I am utterly perplexed by how people love to judge and label others, based on the little they know. While it is part and parcel of life to make surmises, why do so many take these stereotypes to be absolute, and unchangable. Let me state my view. Evil is spawned from ignorance. Ignorance in the case of stereotyping people, is the laziness to use one’s brain and effort to know another person for what he/she is worth. And this kind of laziness, reflects very badly on a person’s intelligence. Can you attest that misunderstandings between two parties occur despite full understanding of each other’s aims? Of course not! I’m tired of hearing racial stereotypes against Bangladeshi workers and the Malay community. I’m sick of homophobic slurs...
Transition from Exams to Holidays
The exams are over. One was bad, while the rest were okay. I’d like to forget them for now. Here are a gist of my holiday plans/goals: Domain Name Investing Train for Aikido Grading Train for NAPFA (or IPPT) Enhance my reflexes Plan out the costumes for each person for October 31 Others… Anyway, I seem to have mood swings lately. It might be the exams but I doubt it. Sometimes, you know things you don’t want to know. Nevermind. The hiatus has been lifted. And I’ll be free to meet up with Harris, Mandy, Ais and Bala. Logen L.
Sad Currency Exchange Rate
My attention was drawn towards the currency exchange module I had on my desktop. For the past few days, the currency rate for United States was rising. While this is good news for the Americans, it is sad news for me. I deal in online business in US dollars, and this means increased costs in buying. I was hoping to take advantage of the weakening dollar when I was to renew my web hosting. But if The Dollar continues to strengthen, I may have to pay a bit more. Besides, remember the cosplay plans in my previous entry? We are outsourcing for costumes overseas and the currency used is the US Dollars. Damn! Hopefully, the exchange rate between Singapore and United States won’t go above 1.5 before October. Otherwise, there will be some repercussions. Yes! The...
The Manipulative Force That Tilts The Balance
I know this blog is supposed to be on hiatus. Face it, I’m bored. So, for the next hour, the hiatus has been lifted. For the past 2 days, I was studying with Zhi Wei and Eugene for the finals. I have to say, Zhi Wei acts like a restless 5 year-old kid. And I have spent lots of time rolling my eyes or sighing in exasperation at his antics. Anyway, during our study breaks (a.k.a. lunch, tea), the three of us have been discussing about certain forces within the world. It seems the balance has already started to tilt against that force. I’m both surprised and not surprised at that. I overestimated the powers of manipulation from the force. And perhaps, I underestimated the wits of those influenced by the force. Most are beginning to awake from the...
