Bad Bad Day....
Today is not a good day for me....in fact... quite bad for me.... Haiz...
Got so much problems man... actually it's one main big problem... but it led me to feel that other small problem are being exaggerated.... so it becomes alot of problems...
Haiz....
Start with last night...
My OS prompt me to restart for a Windows update... which i did....
After that... i never got to use my laptop again...
The OS got stuck before the log in part, refusing to complete the Windows update... then it just reboot itself... and the cycle carries on... i left it there for awhile, until i was too tired to wait... then i just force shut it down...
Then this morning... i woke up early to try again... because i actually have a lesson at 0930... in school... but to no avail... tried the diagnostics tools.. everything i could...
In the end.. drove down to Funan Mall to the service center... hoping to get it fixed, or sent in for repiars, then i can choing down for lesson...
And this is the next infuriating part of my encounter... there's an auntie just before me, already at the counter when i went in and took my number. I'm just after her....
But.... i waited close to 45 minutes before i finally got my turn at the counter... there's only 1 counter by the way....
I would have been fine with the wait... if there's really a big issue that the auntie need to settle... the problem is.... she seem to be asking very trivial matters... i heard the staff explaining to her what's the power on indicator, volume button and about the wireless connection button... and she was asking the staff on whether she can upgrade her RAM.. to what amount... and alot of other really small matters.
To be fair, i shouldn't blame her... because she's afterall of a certain age, and it's good that she's learning to use a laptop... but some questions that she asked is really too trivial... i mean, as a laptop user, shouldn't you learn more about the laptop itself? Like where's the power button? How to operate the volume button?
Haiz... anyway.... yup... i waited close to 40 minutes for that... all the while listening to some rather "outrageous questions... i mean... a service center is for servicing a laptop, not learn how to use a laptop's basic operations.... right?
And since i actually planned to go for lessons after that, the wait became rather disturbing...
In the end... i had to forgo the lesson....
And that's still not the end....
The parking charges there is $2 per hour, $0.50 per 15 minutes thereafter....
When i exit.... i paid $2.50... i count my time... i parked for 1hour and at most 2 minutes... of which half and hour is wasted by the auntie....
This was also the reason why i forgo my breakfast there... because i wanted to save on the parking... but then.... Haiz....
But i think the 2 minute was also contributed by the long wait for the lift... there's only 1 life to the car park... think they purposely build it that way.. then can get more from the parking charges....
And the carpark design is seriously rather flawed and unclear... i'm not even sure where the exit is....
Haiz...................................................................................................
Like i mentioned.. all the events would have been trivial for me on normal days... but well... today's just not my day...
On the way... i wanted to drop by the hawker centre near my house for my meal... there's no parking...
When i got out of the car... my bottle cap opened by itself in my paper bag... wetting the contents... including my handphone headphone... and sun glasses...

Today's just not my day....
