new blog during the 'new age'
new age doesn't mean the genre of music or anything, but in 1 hour and 30 minutes or so, i'm gonna turn 20. i had a blog on blogger.com during pre for College Reading class but i can't seem to remember my username and password. and writing blogs on friendster didn't seem to fulfill what i wanted. so i decided to create a new account here. but that's not my only reason.
from now on, i can write my blog anywhere i want. (dengan muka yg happy and bangga) you wanna know why? cause i've got my own lappy now!! :D
i'm so excited to write while sitting cross-legged on my bed with ducky beside me, or sitting outside on the swings. or in the car (parked in the house, of course). haaa you must be wondering, "eh mmg la type kat mana2 bley, tp mesti lah kene ada internet connection.." well, you've guessed it, i have wireless connection in my house now! waaa all this while i've been computer/technology illiterate but now i guess i'm not B-)
no more fighting over the computer (dad, three sisters, aunty and all), no more distractions, no more overhead peeking from Mama on whose profile i'm viewing, no more electricity-wasting, no more taking too long in front of the pc to write a blog. i am freeeee. thank you Atuk. i love you.
well, i haven't mastered this newfound area i've encountered. i have Umar to thank. you want to know why? during my trip to the Digital Mall in Pj with my sister, who's also the bday girl and my atuk, Umar was my saviour and part-time pc guide. we were on the phone most of the time and i mostly did the listening and uh-huh uh huh all the way.
"ok the best options you have are dell, vaio and benq. jgn beli acer. cari tmpt vaio! vaio is the best!"
"owh ok ok. tp escalator dia rosak. my atuk tak bley naik tangga. kaki dia sakit."
"hah yeke? hmm takkan tak ade lift?"
at a Dell booth, my Atuk asked us to ask him where the Sony outlet was. me and my sister felt rude to ask the Chinese guy who was promoting Dell on where the Sony outlet is. but we asked anyway and he actually brought us to the existing lift and straight to the Sony store. how nice.
"ok, sya cari model vaio VGN-CR353. tu spec dia paling ok. umar baru check kat internet."
so i did. and it was soo.. pretty. it was available in pink, red, blue, gold and white. my sister being the girly girl that she is, picked pink. i picked white at first but my pc-guide aka Umar said "eh putih lawa tp nnt cpt kotor la. i suggest you take red."
ok, red is not my favourite colour but it was the only colour that was considered nice. so red was the answer. right now it doesn't matter whether it's red or blue or gold, having my own laptop is already enough.
but Umar didn't think so.
"haa sya, (in that excited voice of his or more specifically, his Seth Cohenesque way of talking about video games and such), sya dah ada laptop ni kan, ape kata sya beli modem wireless sekali? sng syaa. nnt sya bley surf internet senang."
i am a person who doesn't like to burden people. and i easily accept things, no matter how lousy they are, because i know there are more people out there who are less unfortunate than i am. so when you have already spend not-so-little amount of money on something, you would not want to spend more. but after much persuasion and thought about how it can benefit everyone, i bowed down.
so here i am,on my comfy bed, legs straight out in front me, typing away. best birthday present ever. i know i have done nothing to deserve such comfort and easiness, but i will. i'll work hard and make the most of what i have. Assignments, watch out for me! you'll be done in no time, heh heh heh (evil laugh)
thank you Atuk and thank you Umar. love you both.
