Daily Mockery

26 dEcember 2004.....
a Tsunami hit several areas of Asia (mostly in Indonesia....) and killed nearly a quater of a million people.....

pEople called it the wrath of God.....
i Think it was because Christians were not allowed to celebrate Christmas in town so a bunch of them celebrated it outside, hence were mostly saved from the tragedy...

tWo years later.....
26 dEcember 2006.....
aN earthquake at the magnitude of 7.1 shook-up off the coast of Taiwan. Taiwan was hit, 2 died, 2 Undersea communication cables snapped...... iNternet connections around South East Asia with the world went out.....

wEll, for everyone using our, so-called, broadband (namely sTreamyx), it certainly is a familiar feeling to switch on your computer and router only to find that the connection is down, or just being a biatch...... iT's happened so often, it's become what its famous for.....

wEll, at least on a good day, it's better than dail-up, so i wouldn't complain..... much.....

eVerything seemed normal Tuesday night, 26 dEcember, and i was still galloping away on my hourse in Mabinogi with Rita, roaming around the new continent, searching for burried treasure and getting my horse killed over curiosity..... wEll, it was a new place, with new monsters.... hOw was i to know something that small could have so much juice in it to kick a horse's arse..... wOrse thing was, it was a hairy wild pig not more than half the size of my horse......

tHe night went, and mOrning came and as usual, came the routine of waking up for work. aT my desk i arrived, only to find the internet connection being a biatch....

MSN messanger literally refused to sign in....
fIrefox was loading only peanuts....
bTcomet just stood there looking useless.... bUt that's just normal since telekom re-allocated the bandwidth....

tOok nearly all morning to find out that most places around Kuching...
aNd another few more hours to find out that the whole Malaysia was affected....
tOok another 2 or 3 more hours to receive the news that it was caused by an off-shore earthquake in Taiwan.....

wHich in-turn translate into a connection-less day at work........

ARGHHHHH~~~SAY IT AIN'T SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i Guess i've really gotten too used to having broadband connection almost everyday......
