Sound Garden

Its not that this is a comprain blog for me, but somehow, a blog is a blog, and thoughts, ideas, etc are always featured on a blog. So here i go.

F&#*!!!! I really really hate the service of food retailers here in Singapore. WHy??

Well, today i had lunch with my parents. We decided to go central cause i actually wanted to go get a CPU fan for my system as the present one has gone over to the over side. We alighted at the bus stop near the library, and proceeded to go to a coffeeshop situated next to S11. There i decided to get some mee goreng, with no chilli. Ordered, even heard the fella say mee goreng, no chilli.

Of course when i received the mee goreng, there wasn't supposed to have any chilli in it. But lo and behold, the very second it touched my tongue, i felt spices running amok on my organ. F^&&#@!

When, he came back with my change, my mum asked him if the mee goreng had chilli in it. He replied without looking back," Put a bit". Freaking shit!

When my mum tasted it, she told me, it wasn't a bit of chilli, but a significant amount for her to deduce it to be quite a lot. NA%&$! I can still roughly remember the shop name, something ".. Ali Food Corner", and the indian fella, about 175 to 180 cm. What lousy attitude!!! He'd rather sacrifice customer satisfaction and loyalty then profit. You can bet i won't be eating from that stall again. In fact, my mum actually said that the mee goreng was too salty, and not appetising at all. Thats IT! NO MORE PATRONIZING THAT STALL! Lousy food, lousy attitude. Money down the drain!

This bring to mind a certain experience that i have written about in my previous blogs. Yah, about the Poh Piah experience. Wah Liao! I should have challenged the lady!!

Anyway back to my PC. the bluddy fan spoil, so i went to challenger to look for a CPU fan. Oh yeah i forgot, challenger didn't sell parts, they sold peripherals. So off i went to my nearby computer shop, and got a CPU fan for 50 bucks. Got home and fixed it up, plus a few other tweaks here and there.

Decided to plug in my frontal USB ports, but funny thing is, when i connect any device to the frontal USB ports, all my other USB devices fail to work. ALAMAK! So in the end decided not to continue loh...

But was 50% successful in another configuration. Decided to add my bluetooth device as a headset for my PC. After some testing, it finally worked. I could listen to my mp3's via my bluetooth device. HAHA. However, the mike could not work and searched high and low for a solution to to no avail. The Creative soundcard failed me too later in the evening, when suddenly, DirectSound error occured. What the hell.

In the end, decided to use the onboard sound device. What did i find!? The onboard sound card sounds better!!! Hmm another disappointment in Creative's goods. The other was my CD-Mp3 player, which caused problems after 6 months when the battery compartment gave problems. NOw i can only use the player if an external power adapter is connected. Bluddy hell.
