during the very first week
I survived without internet at all
only relying on the poor wifi signal on campus
which is strong only at outdoor areas
but totally not useable in classrooms
thanks to my iPad, of course
iPad is such a great invention, right
shut up don’t tell me anything about iPad 2
we tried to install fixed broadband at home
buying the P1 4G modem
unfortunately it didn’t work here
at our lovely condo
even up to the point of
putting the new modem riskily
on the balcony
well… contributed by various factors
firstly, we are at level one,
moreover we are at C block
hence, we are being blocked by the other tower
obviously to sum up the situation
this place is too secluded really
so I have got no choice but
to resort to mobile broadband
which the rest of the house are using
which is my first time using also
my Huawei modem
which I didn’t even name it
because I don’t think I wanna use it
on a long term basis
Huawei.. Howard??
Howard the Coward…
my quota is 3gb per month
which is like an average of 100mb per day
gosh, I don’t think even get to use it
for more than 2 hours daily
mobile broadband is for somebody on the go
having the convenience of connection
where ever you are
no way, this is so not for me
I am not running up and down
all I am asking for is unlimited connection
not really high-speed
stable connection will do
which allows me to upload blog posts
and more more importantly
stream my HK Toolbar
so that I can tune into 903 everyday
I miss the radio, goodness
we may switch to the fixed phone line ultimately
in order to get broadband
you know I was so separate
that yesterday I actually used the lab computer
to chat to somebody over the net
till I heard
“Class, are you all listening to me
I can even see people chatting on MSN, using Meebo”
oops it was IMO that I was using anyway
holy shit
I didn’t even dare to turn back
my lecturer is behind there
controlling the PP slides
why the hell was I so dumb
to choose a seat which he was overlooking
kill me, it’s hell embarrassing indeed
I don’t know in a way
its’ a good thing
when internet doesn’t come in handy
I tend to use it like wisely
allocating time for research
then downloading PDF and read it in my baby iPad
drafting blog posts offline
which I am currently doing
and publishing will be done later
gosh I was practically counting
by how much upload volume was rising
I miss my radio…
or should I just give up
and switch to the condo’s wifi service
I hate them
it’s acknowledged that each and every student
will have to use the Internet what
how come they are charging like
rm 60+ for 512kbps
rm 80+ for 1mbps
good old days at Inti hostel
with my LAN cable
yes, at times it may be slow
at least I can wake up early
and enjoy the slight privilege of speed
oh seriously
how am I supposed to live on
100 mb of Internet daily?
enlighten me..
what’s next?
