yesterday
this parcel actually caught me by surprise
i did not remember i was expecting one
actually i should be
since they sent me email the day before
the Fujifilm camera
i got on Dec 31
via an in-store online registration
was entitled to a free tripod and handgrip
well i don’t actually see the needs of
owning these
since they are free
as i wasn’t expecting a parcel
my super-helpful neighbour
got in touch with the courier person
and signed on behalf of us
until that very moment
the commotion out there
i still couldn’t recall
what was the parcel all about
she did the same again
this morning when my sis’s parcel
some banking stuff
arrived early in the morning
she was right outside my door
talking to the courier person
while i was still finding the key
to get the gate opened
and she was like
oh i thought you were sleeping
nice
i hate it when people always
greet me with this phrase
early in the morning
well..
a freelancer does work
and a freelancer does lead
a normal life too
i was working on a project, actually
8:30 AM was not that early, anyway
okies
maybe i should stop bitching about her
she was a kind-hearted soul
she even spoke to my mom
about getting me to mingle around
so that i can secure a boyfriend soon
heck it was so loud that
i heard it while i was still in bed
back to my parcel then
goodness
the wrapping paper we hated so much
as a kid when mom insisted on
wrapping our textbook with this
nostagalic isn’t it
we call it the mahjong paper
so what’s in there
this is basically not of much use
as i have attached a case to my camera
there’s no way i could put this on
a tripod
with adjustable heights
like there are 4 options available
too bad it’s in red
instead of blue-white
it took me quite sometimes to figure it out
without any success
alright, that’s a screw driver
oh my… i realized it after 15 minutes
i saw a screw driver in the user manual
and i was like who the heck carries that around
oh my.. so it is attached to the tripod
you saw that hole right in front?
i unscrewed something from there and
being unable to put it back in place
heck…
alright on the day
when i got the tripod
i was really fed up with my internet service
has been disconnected out of the blue
for the past one week
to send work when a deadline is close or
to work on projects via online platform
this could be really frustrating
i spent one hour to attach a 7MB file
like yeah that’s how
i have been training on my patience
and finally resorted to mobile data + hotspot
to get the file delivered
that very day
i registered for two different providers
one in the morning after i sent the file
after speaking to one of my clients
about the provider he is subscribing to
and then another one in the evening
around 4-5 PM
when it was raining heavily
well usually the internet stopped working
during heavy rain
well does it even make any differences
rain or shine
day time or night
midnight or early morning
anytime of the day
it could be disconnected
on the personal side
my family time is interrupted too
as we usually spend the night
watching some mainland TV programme
nope less of variety shows
those crime & legal genre from CCTV 12
or some historial documentaries or
my dad’s favourite MMA show, WLF
and since the internet connection
was really really bad
i hate it when my dad was trying to
watch something and
it got disconnected so many times that
alright let’s call it a day
we will have better luck tomorrow
i really hate that kind of disappointment
so the next morning
like less than 24 hours
the provider i registered with
later in the evening during the previous day
called me up to confirm if
i am signing up with them
oh goodness
great service
i am definitely with them
the only concern was
since it is a 4G internet provider
what if my area is not well covered
it happened to me once
back in 2011, i think
when i was living in the pristine forest
with a bunch of college housemates
happily signed up and got the modem
yet it wasn’t working
in spite of our silly efforts of
holding it up at a certain height or
placing it close to the balcony
so we had to give up and
resorted back to landline
so as the person was checking
yeah my area is well covered
in fact the communication towers
are located right outside my house
goodness
the one my neighbours have been
complaining about
radiation blah blah blah
and my mom hopped on
and blamed the thingy for
the nose allergic symptom
my dad is suffering from
ok mom shut up
you have no right to
complain about it since
you are using it right now
after around 24 hours
upon the phone confirmation
the modem got here via courier
no upfront payment
no hassle no nothing
and all i have to do is to
plug it to a power supply
and the Wi-Fi is up and running
goodness
i should have done this
so much earlier then
finallty 3 phones can watch
YouTube simultaneously
smooth browsing and
more importantly
it doesn’t get disconnected
at the time you need it the most
thank you P1!
like i don’t even have to
step out of the house to
get my new internet setup
yeah except going to
terminate my old service provider
bye and no hi
