My House Computer Sucks Big Time

My house computer really sucks big time. I am screwed up by and have screwed up my house computer. Let me tell you my big problem with it, or in other words, my bitter struggle to switch it on.

What you are seeing is my sucks big time house computer. Just buying it had been a great problem a few years back, because my father had a quarrel with the guy who sold this computer to us. The reason why the horrible quarrel, so horrible that I have to borrow a mobile phone from a stranger to call my mom who is at home for help, started, I think I should keep it to myself.

Back at home we have problem with the Operating System and because of ‘face’ problem, my dad insisted not to go back to the outlet where we bought our computer and went far downtown to get somebody to repair it.

Then we have problem with the drive partition. Dad called another mechanic to our house to get the problem fixed.

Now comes the display driver problem. After installing Simcity 4 Rush Hour in my computer the monitor suddenly turned pitch dark. I was left with no choice but to restart the computer. Upon restart the log in screen did not appear, and after several attempts to restart the computer just ain’t working normally.

I called dad, whom temper sucks big time. Got a scolding from him, but finally he also can’t deal with the problem himself. Rang up cousin brother and got the computer fixed. The computer resolution ended up to be 800 X 600, which I am not very comfortable with, so I made a stupid attempt to change it back to 1024 X 768. The computer ended up crashed and we have to restart the entire procedure again (run safe Mode, install display driver, restart computer). Pretty frustrating.

Argh, now what am I feeling is to throw this stupid piece of clockwork and lights down to the ground floor (I am now at the first floor).

Your name is required. Why?

  • So that I can address you personally (which I'm more than happy to do).
  • Everyone loves their name to be called, right? Nobody wants to be referred to as 'a certain someone' or Mr X (X-Men members aside).
  • If your post too much spam, your name will be imprinted on a personalised voodoo doll, completely free of charge. I'm just joking!

Your email is needed. Why?

  • Your email is, and will, never be given out to any third party under any conditions (except for people sneaking up behind me when I'm on WP admin).
  • So that I can contact you personally in case of certain issues that I wish to address personally.
  • If you post too much spam, I'll email the same spam you've posted 10 times back to you, completely free of charge.

You can always leave a personal URL behind

  • It can be anything - most people put their blog URL, their facebook page, their Twitter URL, their MySpace or etc.
  • I give love back by saying NO to no-follow. All of your webbie links are dofollows instead.

Twitter. Twitter. Twitter.

  • What is Twitter?: Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users' updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 bytes in length.
  • What is my Twitter ID?: To get a Twitter ID, you simply have to sign up for an account at Twitter.com. Your ID will be in the format of your profile's URL - http://twitter.com/[userid].

Hello Easter Egg hunter! You've discovered the magic of the Konami Code!

Yea. You probably know what the Konami code is before getting to this page. So now what? Here is a randomised YouTube video on my favourites list... which includes Rickroll, if you're luck enough to get it.

You are currently watching Slow Motion Lighter. Loving it? You can even watch the video in its full screen glory :)
