PC-LESS
On the wee hours of last Tuesday, I had problems with the Internet. Called Starhub and we did the troubleshoot via phone. Well, actually it was one of the rugrats that took the call. Anyway, despite that 30 minutes 'conversation', we still had problems connecting so the lady concluded that there were problems with our modem.
So, there were no facebooking or blog-reading sessions on Tuesday and I could not send the modem then because I didn't have Kak Chik's IC. Our max-online is under her name just so you know.
Wednesday, I went to my sister's place after an interview just to use the internet.
Thursday, I wanted to send the modem to the service centre but cancelled cause I intended to go to Chana's place to accompany her but that was also cancelled. Thursday was spent napping and staring at the walls.
You have no idea how bored and cranky I was and it was all because I had no access to the internet. I could not even access it via my handphone!
Friday night, I saw one of the rugrats using his laptop. Boy, I was delighted but guess what?! I still could not access the internet from the PC!!! I hate using laptops! I then told my brother-in-law, the expert of the IT world and he said he forgot to connect the cable. Obviously I quickly connected the cable but still, NO ACCESS!!!
Saturday, I woke up late and went to Lihah's place so I was kindda distracted and only checked my hotmail from the laptop.
Today, there was a mini celebration for Aisyah's 16th birthday. Everyone was around including my cousin's husband. They finally got it fixed and the problem was due to the IP address. That means, I'm back to facing the PC almost the whole time when I'm awake or at home.
Here's a thought, can you imagine life without the internet, handphones and televisions?
I don't think any of us can take it. This experience made me realised how addicted we are to such luxuries. It's not something bad but it's not something to be proud of either...
