Poor internet, poor me.

That previous entry was written 2 days back.

Each time I open up a new page, trying to get into writing a new entry, I find myself blanking out upon the new fresh page, wondering where I should start. It’s not the lack of thoughts in my mind but rather, too many different signals sending out at the same time in my brains. Perhaps it’s the result of not writing consistently that I find myself not being able to have my thoughts in a coherent manner? Even this, I’m not sure.

Let me first start with a mind-nagging issue. It’s been close to a month since I’ve gotten my laptop adaptor replaced. Not with an exact original Toshiba but a parallel adaptor. Forgot what it is called. It comes with different voltages of different connectors that can be adapted easily. Thanks to Mr B who went all the way down to Sim Lim with me so that I can get my laptop up and running again. It’s really frustrating not being able to get my hands on it during that “not in use” period of time. Anyway, the mind-nagging issue is not this. It’s the freaking dialup that I’ve been using for 4 years now. I thought I could surf the net like I used to with my replaced adaptor, even though it can take ages for a page to load since it’s dialup, but I thought, never mind. All it takes is to train my patience! Yet, of late, I find it hair-pulling with not having a single page being loaded successfully after being connected to the net! Previously, it was at a speed of 42 kbps. For the umpteenth time that I had tried, it has been connecting as low as 8.0 kbps. Good lord! Not a single page can be loaded even with me sitting there for an hour at least. Who would have guessed that I can be bothered to sit and wait for a page to load and who would have guessed that I have actually done so without losing my temper? Ha.

Now you know why you don’t see me online anymore nor blog. It takes huge efforts to do so and even with perseverance, it’s not enough. Not everything is within one’s control all the time. It’s like systematic and unsystematic risk in finance.

The good news is that Daddy has informed me about the up and running Broadband in my Woodlands home. It’s his way of luring me home la. Hahahahaha.
