Karma Bitch Slaps on CNY

The one thing I always look forward to about coming home is… the internet wth. Ever since college, I’ve had sucky internet at wherever I was staying. Internet at home is slow too but it’s tolerable. At least I get to check my emails whenever I wanted to, blog hop and Facebook until the cows come home. YouTube sometimes gets too slow, though.

The thing is, the internet is only so slow because my dad hogs all the bandwidth. So whenever I wanna stream an episode of Ugly Betty or upload my unresized photos, I normally do it when he’s not around. I’d go to his room and shut down his computer and walla! Problem solved.

You might think that I’m an awfully nefarious son but once you’ve experienced having to wait a freaking hour to load a 3 minute video on YouTube, you’d probably be doing the same. Seriously, my dad downloads like 30 movies SIMULTANEOUSLY. It’s too much effort to scroll through the list and delicately pause each and every download so I normally just turn off the entire computer

I curse the day he was introduced to Xunlei. Amen.

Anyway, I figured turning off his computer every time he steps out is also too much of a hassle now so I’ve come up with another solution!

I fidgeted with the Chinese characters on the Preferences and limited his download speed to ………. 5kb/s.

Don’t mess with evil people I tell you! We are usually the smarter bunch bleh.

So that kind of solved the problem.. for like a day. I got to use YouTube conveniently and my sister got to finish downloading her TVB series without it being stuck at 98% or the likes.

But yesterday the Internet decided to go all cuckoo again. I got disconnected every 10 minutes FML. I think it’s karma. (And Streamyx too, obviously. Just because karma decides to bitch slap me doesn’t give you a reason to give such bad service, TM) And I haven’t even done my PBL! FMLX2.

And I’m going back to JB tomorrow so that means NO INTERNET FOR THE WEEKEND FML X3. STUPID TM WHEN ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO INSTALL THE PHONE LINE AT OUR PLACE LA???

But actually I don’t even know what’s my task for PBL so not much difference also wth.

That’s all!

Oh wait, that’s not all!

I have photos from CNY Day 3. A bunch of my relatives came over to my house for dinner and on that fateful day when I had out-of-bed-hair and was wearing my least favourite samfoo and was too lazy to put on my contacts, my cousins decided to take photos.

Cousins from 4 families

All the girls… (who were all wearing different coloured clothing in case you haven’t noticed)

And all the boys. Excuse the silly pose. I don’t think I’ll ever recover from all the lame poses that night..

Because it’s the year of the tiger……………………….

Wah. Kenot tahan the lameness. Kthxbai.

First family portrait since… okay I don’t know when.

That’s really all. The other photos will be up on FB, hopefully.

Cya!
