'The End of My Much Anticipated Weekend'

Which would only be true if you took into account that Sundays are the 1st day of the week.

Why O why has Tmnet got to go through this.....

TMNET TEMPORARY SERVICE INTERRUPTIONThis is to announce that TM Net Sdn Bhd’s Internet service is currently experiencing a slight drop in performance caused by several outages due to service degradation at some of its international links to Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Korea, Japan, Thailand and United States.

Our multiple link providers which subscribe to the international carriers are still trying to restore their system for TM Net service.TM Net is currently running slightly short on international capacity due to the problem. The congestion will be alleviated as soon as the international carriers fully restore their services for our connectivity. Meanwhile, we have taken immediate action to divert some traffic through our tmnet Eastgate service as well as to other back-up links to reduce the Internet international traffic congestion.

The international providers are carrying out rectification works in stages and we will be making an announcement when the service has resumed to normal.TM Net Sdn Bhd apologizes for any inconvenience caused but at the same time we would like to assure you that what we are doing is necessary in order to restore the service as soon as possible.Customers can call our TM Net Customer Interaction Center at 1-300-88-9515 or 1-300-88-1515 from 8:00 a.m. till midnight or email at custcare@tm.net.my for further enquiries about the service.


Which is a long explaination which means : WAIT.

Oh well, screw the internet for this once. I had a very good jamming session with the guys tonite, pretty suprising that one dude who said he wouldn't turn up actually did. And he made it good. I wasted my throat real good and made sure the time spent in the studio equalled a good workout. I won't get to do this often. I'm going to miss it.

I was pretty impressed with the National Geographic people the other day 'cause they made me recall their show during my bus trip to Prangin earlier today. Wait, it was Animal Planet ;-)

The show was roughly a countdown on dangerous animals or something, l lost track 'cause i was in a coffeeshop having dinner. Anyways, which brings me to how everything is related to my bus ride. The driver was a semi-psychopath (I use semi 'cause he didn't kill me in the end, but actually achieved what i willed). He kept honking and tail gating vehicles like there was no tomorrow. It seemed to me that he loved holding and pressing the horn, he probably had the steering wheel glued to his hand since he was born ;-). Anyways, i was also semi-amused to see his boldness in blaring the horn left centre right to tom dick and harry. Semi in this case comes from the worriedness which i felt a bit: Maybe someone might get down from their vehicle and do a classic baseball bat road rage demolition scene. But it never happened. So yeah, i was more amused at the end of the whole thing AND i reached my destination within record time.

The bus ride home was alrite. Today being my 1st time using the Butterworth to Taiping way. It was hot and stuffy, the station, but the turnover of the buses were pretty frequent, which meant that i got ride home almost as soon as i bought the ticket. Thanks to J for teaching me the Butterworth way. I'm probably gonna use it pretty much in the not so distant future.

Also i want to thank a good lepak buddy for waking up in the late afternoon to come and take me (and another friend) from the bus station. Thanks man. You know who you are. Kudos.

Well, all in all, as soon as i got back, and in a blink of an eye, the day has ended. Damn.....and it was SATURDAY!.

'Nite.
