There’s something about How Suay I Am Part I

Rationals say luck is nothing but a hogwash concept. The miscellaneous suay events that had occurred to me suggest otherwise:


Incident #01:
I applied for an internet connection when I just started poly, which was like donkey years ago. I was so excited when the starter kit arrived, I did the installation and dial up despite the fact it was raining really hard that day.

Then the unthinkable happened: I saw a bright flash of lightning, heard a loud clap of thunder, and saw my monitor went blank.

I was later told by the PC repair guy that my internal modem, together with the other stuff in my Com Port, got fried. I blame the faulty lightning arresters at my old one-room rented HDB apartment for that. I only got to surf from home three years later when I saved up enough for a new PC.


Incident #02:
They say lightning never strike on the same spot twice. Rubbish. My seriously injured second PC and dead second modem proved that theory wrong.


Incident #03:
When I shifted into my new place, I decided I had enough of line connections, and decided to go for cable broadband instead. I paid for the plan and installed the modem, only to find out that I couldn’t connect to the internet. And it wasn’t even raining that day.

The Starhub staff told me apologetically that they had overlooked the fact that the cabling for my flat, a new estate, was not done. And they had no definite date as to when the cabling will be completed. Damn.


I think that’s enough suayness for one blog entry. I haven’t even start on the time when I almost got hit by a bus when I was in the waiting area of an interchange. Maybe next time.
