Thoughts and Moods

Few days ago when i was walking to class, i saw one guy dribbling a nike ball. Just so happens he was dribbling directly towards me. Kinda made me think of all the times i spent playing futsal with the guys back home. Getting hit by the ball, diving, tackling, missing saves.

The blood.

Just a couple more days, i'll be back home. But, will everything still be the same? Ive seen people that change in the course of a year, behaviour, attitude, everything. Its like they become a whole new person, be it for better or worse.

With that said, i would like to tell everyone that I AM STILL THE SAME PERSON THAT LEFT MALAYSIA A YEAR AGO.

Spend one year overseas, and you find out that you have been taking things for granted at home. Food is one thing. The food here is great (sort of), but it doesnt compare to the diversity of Malaysian food. Canai, hawker food, western, its all there.

Another thing is family, ur mom or dad bossing you around may piss you off, but i have actually come to miss it. Seeing how some people here are brought up and what they have become, im VERY thankful that my parents gave me a good childhood. Seriously, ive seen small kids here that swear worse than my friends in Malaysia.

Ok im late for computer labs. I'll end it here

The story of my internet connection.

Ok, the speed is decent now. Time to make a proper post.

As some of you already know, my internet connection is crap. Cant change the current setup im having, because its a hostel thing, we got to stick with the internet plan, or pay through your nose. Ive been complaining to the internet company since march. They always reply to my emails, so at 1st I thought maybe they actually care about their customers, not like back home in malaysia.

Well, they dont, all they do is reply, nothing else.

After 7 months, they sent me this email:

--------------------------------------------

Hi,Could you please visit www.snap.net.nz/tools/speedtest2 and run that test a couple of times, and email us the screenshots? Could you also provide a couple of traceroute outputs. To do this, in Windows, go to the Start menu, then click Run, then type "cmd" and click OK.From there, type the following commandtracert http://www.google.com/Please copy/paste the output into an email.Also issuetracert http://www.bbc.co.uk/ and copy/paste the outputs.Kind Regards,Paul KrizekTechnical Support

-------------------------------------------

Ok, take a speed test? CAN.

Slower than bloody dial up. I pay for wireless, i get something worse than dial up.
Sent them the screenshots, and the other things they want me to do. (Had to wait 5 minutes to open the page to reply them). What do they do? They ask me to install some software onto my comp, let it fill with data then send it back to them.

Screw it lah, if they dont want to send people here to actually FIX the problem, im not going to co-operate.

My reply was this:

-------------------------------

Hello, I have decided that this just isnt worth my time anymore. I have been sending e-mails during the 1st half of the year, and there was no improvement in the connection speed.

I have my final examinations coming in 3 weeks time, and I need to study.
After that, i'm moving out. So there is no point with anymore troubleshooting.

Thank you very much.

Cant wait for next year. I'll get a proper connection with another company.
