Finally It Came... On Second Thought
Now Playing: Michael Penn - No Myth
You know the weather is so freaking cold today.
It is suppose to be officially spring now! 1st September!!! But this morning it was so cold that I found it so difficult to get out of bed.

Today I had two classes. One 8:30 in the morning and the other later on 2:30 in the afternoon. I went for the first one because it took attendances. While the other, a lecture class does not because I was waiting for the broadband guy to come and settle the internet connection. Turns out Shawn had been using a second phone line which we never knew existed which explained the reason why we couldn't connect to the broadband internet for the past few days. No touching that second line as it ain't ours.

After that guy had left, Shawn spent hours figuring out how to connect my pc to his pc so that I can use the internet. Why so complicated? Well because he wanted the modem in his room while it would have made perfect sense to put it in my room, as my room actually had a telephone outlet and its by the wall so it wouldn't be so messy with wires. However he wanted it in his room and now we have wires all over the hallway waiting to trip some unaware victim. So as I said, he spent hours till I finally decided to intervene and suggested to him that he takes my network cable and plug it straight into the modem as well. Which obviously worked. I mean c'mon the modem has 4 ports, why not he use one and I use one? Maybe he likes being in control. Bah.

Now the problem is the microfilter. You see Australia's phone wall socket is very weird. It is not like our (Malaysia's) phone socket where it is just one hole. Australia ones are like a different shaped hole with connectors to a receiving plug. Kinda complicated well yeah it is complicated so I shall continue no further about that.
So the current situation is this, we can't use the telephone till we get the appropriate plug because the adsl line will make it very noisy to use the phone. That is why the microfilter is needed and you know how it goes.

I was glad that broadband finally came but then now I think I'm being ripped off. For AUD$100 a month, we're suppose to get 512kbps flat rate a month. But my download is as fast as dial up. What is up with that!? If thisi continues being this way, I'm just gonna stick with dial up. Never again will I talk bad about streamyx. They are the bomb. I mean I only pay for a 384kbps line but I get download speeds so much faster than what I pay for. But hey I ain't complaining for that.

Next week and the following week are full of datelines for assignments from various classes and most of them I have not actually gotten around to even complete half of each. They are so tedious and I don't know how to make heads or tails of them sheeesh. Probably hopefully this weekend I will try to lock myself in my room and not come out till I have finished at least 75% of each of my work. Sigh.

University life is what I don't need.


OH yeah lo and behold, most of all my quicktime videos taken from my digicam are corrupted. The visuals will freeze at a certain time in the track but the sound still goes on like normal. ARGH... all my memories gone down just like that.
