An Open Letter to HP Service Centre Headquater

 

I have sent my laptop model CQ20-317TU since last Wednesday, 17th February 2010, to be look at since I suspected my power adapter has giving me such a nuisance.

The front desk girl told me that the engineers will look upon my problem and will call me at the end of the day but yet when I call Kuching HP Service Centre the very next day(Thursday, 18th February 2010) , she said there is no available engineer to look upon my laptop. Thus she said they will call me the next day.

Again on Friday, 19th February 2010, I call them again and they said there is no available engineer to look at my problem (AGAIN) and she pointed out that the whole engineers has taken their holiday in the conjunction with Chinese New Year celebration that has been celebrated last Sunday (14th February 2010) and Monday (including Tuesday which is the replacement holiday, 15 & 16th February)

It is hard for me to taken the fact that there is no available technician nor engineer to sort out my problem which is actually derived from the faulty power adapter which you can sort out in a few minutes by replacing it with another one since mine is still under warranty.

As a student, my dependency on my laptop is high and without it, i will not have the ability to do my work smoothly.

After waited for a week now, I called Kuching HP Service Centre asking the condition about my laptop and the answer that has been given really made me feel angry and mad towards HP itself.

She said that the sparepart which is the motherboard is out of stock and it would be estimated time of arrival is on the 24TH MARCH 2010!!!!!!!

It is purely insane answer for me to accept since your company has tresspassing your service policy of 5 to 10 days working and with this occuring, it has cause me more than a month!!!!

Did you know that my study life, my achievement and my final examination result depend on that notebook since I need to use it especially when I have a crucial subjects this semester!!!! And did you know how it will effect my productivity terribly!?

Did you ever think of that!!!?

I ought your company to do something on this because you are jeopardizing my future here since all my data, all my notes are in that notebook.

You can call the Kuching Service Centre for futher explaination by their number which you guys I believe that you have it, 082-349808.

Please ask them to check my record under my name Muhamad Rahman Sallehin and using my phone number as their reference which is 014-5907431.

Dear HP Customer Care Team, my future of success is in your hand right now and you ought to do something about it ASAP!

This what Ladangianz do.

One thing is that I’m proud of my course. Despite the word of “LADANG” that somehow makes the perception of the other students and lecturers make the second-class-course face, but I just hold to one thing.

I WORTH MORE THAN WHAT I AM NOW.

Hence, ladies and gentlemen, if you’re eating; drop it. If you’re a vegetarian; shut the screen now and I hereby giving you the ultimate satisfaction of chicken.

 

It all began in the first week of our field practical. Since there are still many (hundreds) of chickens that need to be slaughter, we decide to give a hand.

  

Do you know what is “badal”? It’s actually the internal organ of the chicken that keep the waste or feces. Thank God I didn’t know on how to eat this.

My future sweetheart is getting her hands dirty. I mean the girl with the tudung on. Actually, she’s my junior yet the beauty is really hard to commit suicide in my brain.

 

 

Naked chicken ready to be cut off people. Just browse the things down.

 

Get rid of the chicken feathers. I mean you really do not want to eat the feathers aren’t you? Because if you do, you’re totally a crazy whacko.

 

Two good friends helping each other out. So cute….

 

I call this the death ring. Whom enter, death shall call upon him.

   

Three of pictures combination aren’t showing you on how to make a good big portion of chicken soup.

 

Chicken’s which are ready for sell………

        

But yet have to wait for the rest to be done.

  

The lazy ones is relaxing in the store. Well, I joined them too.

 

Still we have a lot of crates to be done.

 

 

Catching isn't easy. Only a strong determination and a strong pair of hand could only help.

But it does not equal after a rough day job hanging out with a cute girl. You bloody bastard.

Saman oh saman

On the way aku ngan kawan2 aku nak pergi ke Kuching; PUKIMAK!!!! JPJ BUAT ROADBLOCK!!!!

Hati aku cuma sebut perkataan ni jer..."Fuck, shit, damn. Fuck, shit, damn..." berulang-kali sampaikan macam jadi sial lak.

Patutnyer aku doa kat Tuhan mintak lepas kitorang; pasal kawan aku yang drive dan dier takde lesen; dari sekatan jalanraya tuh. Mana tau yang kitorang kena panggil move ke bahu jalan.

Aku dah mula cuak. Kawan aku yang duduk kat depan tu lagilah....perempuan kan? Yang kawan laki aku yang drive lak buat muka confident dan dengan selamba jer hulur kat abang JPJ tu lesen motosikal dier. Pastuh, kitorang kena saman RM240 because road tax mati skali dengan kesalahan tidak mempunyai lesen kereta.

Bila aku pergi ke Kuching guna bas, sampai aja..."Mak aihh!!! Banyaknya polis!!!". Samada polis biasa atau pun polis trafik, suma jumlah polis tu memang banyak sampaikan korang jalan lagi tak sampai 10m ada lagi abang polis kat depan, belakang, kiri dan kanan korang.

Tak caya? Ko lihat gambar ni bebaik sat.....

Para polis trafik dengan konvoinya

Para abang-abang polis trafik memulakan perjalanan. Ko lihat tu sampai ke ujung polis nih bersusun.

Bila aku tanya bapak aku, mesyuarat Majlis Raja-Raja akan diadakan kat Kuching dalam minggu ni. Sebab tu la......

Tapi apapun, RM240 melayang hari ni.

Trouble Is A Friend

Ever wonder why we are surround by the stuff that create the word "BUSY"?
Currently, that is the most hate word I ever want to heard from people and myself.
Due to that, I hardly have the time for myself and hardly have the time for my study despite the passion to upgrade myself in the academic lane.

It is quite weird on how sometimes I just sitting there, around somewhere and perhaps alone, within barely around five minutes there would be a people or a group of people that would approach me to seek my help because they have some sort of trouble either it's theoretically, technically or even academically.

It is not that I do not want to help them but there's MPP to help you plus the people who approach me are not juniors either. It is hard for me to say "no" since I'm not that typical guy which can deny people's request easily. I think I got it from my mum's blood.

I do still have my own problem to settle. For example, my course registration that I has not made yet since my credit hours already over exceed and my programme leader hasn't drop my economy subject. There is also the crisis of food allowance since UiTM is currently are being choosy for the people that they give it to.

Plus, the dedication of mine which want to settle down and do not involve in the Venusian arts attitude but somehow people around my circle aren't that confide in my to do it. Yet, I have to restrain all the force of seduction from the girls and let me tell you, it's hard for me as a boy.

And I found this song. (Click the tittle to download)

Lenka - Trouble Is A Friend

Trouble will find you
No matter where you go
Oh, oh
No matter if you're fast
No matter if you're slow
Oh, oh

The eye of the storm
wanna cry in the morn
Oh, oh
You're fine for a while
But you start
To lose control

He's there in the dark
He's there in my heart
He waits in the wings
he's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend
Yeah
Trouble
Is a friend of mine
Ahh

Trouble is a friend
But trouble is a foe
Oh, oh
And no matter
What I feed him
He always seems to grow
Oh, oh
He sees what I see
And he knows
What I know
Oh, oh
So don't forget
As you ease
On down my road

He's there in the dark
He's there in my heart
He waits in the wings
He's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend
Yeah
Trouble
Is a friend of mine
So don't be alarmed
If he takes you
By the arm
I won't let him win
But I'm a sucker for his charm
For his charm
Trouble is a friend
Yeah
Trouble
Is a friend of mine
Ahh

How I hate the way
He makes me feel
And how I try
To make him leave
I try
Oh, oh, I try

But he's there in the dark
He's there in my heart
He waits in the wings
He's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend
Yeah
Trouble
Is a friend of mine
So don't be alarmed
If he takes you
By the arm
I won't let him win
But I'm a sucker for his charm
For his charm
Trouble is a friend
Yeah
Trouble
Is a friend of mine
Ahh

Ooh
Ahh
Ooh

Finally, it makes me feel okay.

Eye Twitching

Since Wednesday my lower left eye kept on twitching. I do have this back in the year 2007 and now it has return.

Old folks says that if our lower left eyelid keep on twitching, that means that we will cry and if the left eye end twitching, you will go through a bit of hardness.

Since I've been in a total-messed-up-trouble, I've been wanted to believe this superstitious believes; due to the fact what it has been state happened to me in 2007.

But then, there must be a scientific reason on why this symptom occur. Then, I found this:-

Eyelid movement = Myokymia

"Myokymia is; according to doctors;

A common condition where a few of the muscle fibers of the upper — or more commonly the lower — eyelid contract irregularly.
Myokymia is closely associated with stress, fatigue, lack of sleep and too much caffeine.

Treatment: Reduce your stress, get more sleep, nix the coffee, eat more bananas and B-complex pills. Throw in a couple of sugar pills for good measure. Save the cerebrospinal fluid exam for emergencies."

So there you are. The scientific reason on why my left eye keep on twitching. Yes, I admit I do have a total-thick-gaban-level of stress, lack of sleep and I kept on drinking Nescafe' mild (the yellow sachet) until I stopped three nights ago.

With the exam papers fooling around (you can see me exam schedule on the right), it does really tense me up to a hiking mountain if I could metaphor it.

Thanks to my dear Baby (she really help me a lot in the case of reducing my stress), I'm not as stress at the previuos day but only when I have a quick glimpse of think about my stress issue, my heart will pound like crazy. God, I need to calm myself real quickly.

P/S: Even when I type this post, my left eye keep on twitching like crazy. And I miss my home...

Finally, after craving a new laptop since last year and having my eyes on this baby really made feel the happiest person indeed.

FYI, this is the upgrade version from it previous predecessor, CQ20-213TU which the contradict of both model is the old model use T5800 2.0GHz processor, 250GB HD and 1GB RAM.

Where as if you see from the specification above it has T6400 2.0 GHz processor, 320HD and 2GB RAM.

Maybe for the non-computer literate people will ask, "What difference does it make?"

Let me tell you, "It owes big time!!!!"

Higher power processor = Can do multi-tasking job smoothly
Higher HD capacity = More movies, music, pictures & software to be kept
Higher RAM capacity = Ensure the programme that you're running would run smoothly

I asked my father to buy a new laptop according to my specification and model due to the fact that my Dell D600 lappy are in it's 40s. So you guys will know what type of technology I have before I got my hand on this new sunshine.

Plus, knowing he just buy stuff without consulting me; take during the time he bought me the old laptop; could have myself in a great depression due to the fact the laptop that the bought are just expensive but lack in ability to do tasks. That is why when I bring the issue of a new laptop to my father, I told him, "Do not buy yet. Wait for me to give the model, specs and the price; then you'll buy". I know it sounds harsh. But hey, buying laptop is a long-term investment and also I wan to make sure that my father spend his money towards stuff which is rather a deal to the value that he invest. Besides, he's my father. I do not want him to spend his money on something which will make me say, "What a waste".

For four days in a row I had to call my computer dealer to know the update of the new lappy and they always answer me that it will arrive before the end of March. Well, you know what? It did!!!!

I have to took a bus all the way from Kota Samarahan to Wisma Saberkas and luckily there is the last bast which return back to Kota Samarahan. At that same night, I have to stay up till 9.30 a.m in the morning; yes, 9.30 a.m; just to transfer the whole files from two-weeks-of-Farah's-laptop-being-borrowed-by-me to my new lappy.

I tried to connect both laptop using UTP cable to make my file transfer quite easy but unfortunately, I failed due to the lack of knowledge on how to do that.

After it is all done, I went to my class and whole my female classmate were saying, "OMG, Black! It's so cute!!!!"

The lappy is cute!? How but the owner?

Suddenly I think my lappy will draw the attention of the girls, not me....

Don't know what to do

So I'll spare the selection for the ASEAN debate in the next post.

Hence basically, Swinburne and me suppose to return to Kuching 7.40 p.m yesterday. But since the selection is extended to 8 p.m that night, so with the help of Azmilah, Paul and Mdm. Afidah, we're able to have a second flight at 11.40 a.m the very next day.

What I'm going to write is something is personally to me is the most bullshit deep shit fucking thing that ever happened in my life.

I was felt quite devastated yesterday since I'm just being alone throughout the day before the written test for the selection; yes, they do have written test for the selection. FUCK!!! WHY I TALKED ABOUT THE SELECTION!!!!

Today, the our flight were waiting for us but the FUCKING thing here is the transportation of UiTM to send us to the airport were having a BIG SHIT miscommunication. They waited for us at Kolej Jati where as we are waiting at Kolej Perindu!

It's already 10.00 a.m but the transportation hasn't arrive yet so we call Hafiz and he sent us to the airport.

Iqhbal Hafis sending us to the airport

By the time we arrived at the airport, the gate to the flight has closed. We're actually quee up at the wrong flight and that cost us a lots of time to know what we are already to late.

We called Hafis whom are busy with the Novis Cup and we told him what happened. He told us to go to UiTM Shah Alam from the LCCT but we don't have any money left!!!

Swinburne and me being stranded in LCCT

I called my parents and they try all their best right now (by the time I wrote this) to manage things up. My mother banked in RM100 to Swinburne's account since I don't have any ATM card.

Now, I'm here in LCCT being hungry, confused, angry, sad and all those stuff. I'll update what will happen next.

P/S: Now I think the lecturers do learn their lesson to do not let the students alone to do the travelling. And I'm right now is on the peak level of homesick!!!!! I miss my home...*cry*

Keletihan...

Disebabkan hari ini ialah hari Jumaat, maka aku akan menulis kiriman dalam bahasa Malaysia. Bukannya apa, tiap-tiap hari aku speaking letih jugak tau. Dah la kiriman pun dalam bahasa Inggeris; nanti bahasa ibunda aku jugak yang berkarat karang.

Aku sekarang ni kat UiTM Shah Alam; Perpustakaan Tun Abdul Razak 2 (PTAR2) secara terperinci. Memang aku letih gila babi tahap gaban punya.

Bayangkan, sampai kat Lapangan Terbang Antarangbangsa Kuching (KIA) pukul 8 pagi. Dah tu pulak belum pekena sarapan pagi lagi! Nak memburukkan keadaan pulak bila penerbangan tu pukul 9.30 pagi dan selamat tiba di Terminal Penerbangan Murah (LCCT) hampir jam 11.00 pagi. Dah tu terpaksa secara bergesa-gesa pergi UiTM Shah Alam kerana mesyuarat untuk pemilihan peserta bagi Debat ASEAN akan bermula jam 3.00 petang.

Dah sampai tu, bertemu lak dengan Fuad; kawanku kat UiTM Kota Samarahan dulu. Sementara menunggu pejabat Kolej Perindu buka, Nizam, Fuad dan aku pergi makan tengahari sekejap. Selepas tu bila nak daftar bilik, kunci yang disediakan oleh pihak kolej hilang dari meja diorang. Nizam dan aku macam, "Apa kejadah semuanya ni? Dah la nak berebut pergi mesyuarat lepas ni". Jadi aku pun tunggu dan akhirnya bilik dah ada tapi kunci pulak tak ada.

Jadi kami berdua tinggalkanlah beg kita orang kat bilik Fuad sekejap. Lepas tu Nizam tersemput-semput berjalan pasal bilik mesyuarat kat Kolej Seroja tu jauh sangat. Aku yang bekas atlet jalan kaki selamba jer berjalan.

Nizam tak der bilik kerana apabila aku balik kembali ke bilik, ada tiga orang mamat ni yang telah mengambil 3/4 katil. Jadi katil yang tinggal aku yang punya lah. Nizam pulak tinggal dalam bilik Fuad. Kepada Nizam, aku minta maaf banyak-banyak. Aku tak berniat pun.

Bila dah sampai, kita orang membuat pilihan secara rawak untuk kedudukan dalam kumpulan debat berserta dengan ahli kumpulan. Aku dapat kumpulan dua dengan kedudukan sebagai pendebat penjawab; ketiga la. Tambahan pulak, aku sama kumpulan dengan teman lelaki Sarah Yasmin!!!! Gembiranya aku !!!! (aku gembira kerana aku bersama dengan orang yang penting dalam hidup Sarah Yasmin. Korang jangan nak fikir macam-macam pulak, okay?). Dalam kedua-dua pusingan debat tu, aku kekal dengan kedudukan aku sedangkan semua orang lain bertukar posisi. Dah la aku berlawan dengan budak Kelab Debat UiTM Shah Alam, jadi korang tau lah macam mana perasaan gabra dan gementar aku ketika memberi ucapan. Tapi alhamdulillah, semunya berjalan lancar cuma diantara semua pendebat yang terlibat, aku sorang je yang tak memberi "Kenyataan Pemberitahuan" (P.O.I).

Habis je debat, aku dan tiga orang pendebat dari mana ntah pergi bilik dan tidur. Pagi tadi aku bangun pukul 5.45 pagi dan menyelesaikan tugasan yang diberi oleh lecturer subjek bahasa Inggeris aku; BEL 311 Term Paper.

Lepas jer siap, aku pun menghantar kepada pensyarah aku melalui e-mail. Nasib baik dia boleh bertolak-ansur dengan aku. Kalau tak, melayang 10 markah.

Nizam pulak pergi ke MidValley dengan pendebat dari Sabah; Azel namanya. Aku pun apa lagi, rasa terasing lah. Pasal aku sorang-sorang, tak kenal sesiapa dan macam-macam lagilah. Dah lah kecantikan sini aku boleh umpamakan sebagai species yang terancam. Aku nak balik UiTM Kota Samarahan!!!!!

P/S: Terus-terang aku ingin menyatakan disini bahawa aku hampir-hampir nak menangis kerana terlalu rindukan rumah (kampung halaman ler). Aku nak balik hari ni jugak!!! Aku tak kira!!!! Aku tak nak disebabkan debat ni, aku menangis. Taubat aku tak nak kembali ke UiTM Shah Alam balik. Aku rindukan rumah!!!!

All things are going back to normal again….I think

Last week is the most troublesome week I’ve ever had. Not just have all the people around me almost-pull-the-trigger to hate me but I do jeopardize them in such a way that it made me feel really unmotivated throughout the week until I have to cancelled the debate training on Thursday without Swinburne’s authorization *sorry Swin*. But the past is the past and all I have to do right now is look at it and try to do not do the same thing again. It’s precious I could say.

Sorry I have to break my promise to update the blog at least once in every two days due to some internal problems (which I think you already know). But from now on I’ll try my best to update all of the three blogs which are under my management. I hope Fuad and Maisarah do help me by updating TEC site as well. It has been a hell load of work from me. Externally and internally exhausted, I shall continue with my plan.

Hey, it’s already March! I keep on forgetting that I’m in a new month hence more efficient work to do. The reason that makes me kept on being busy is where the time synchronization is just “right”. Meaning by all of the stuff that I’ve been doing is almost overlapping. Thank God there are people whom I can count on during those moments. In the next post, maybe I’ll do what Faradiba and her friend did; stating and listing what they do, what they did throughout the whole week and month. From there you will know how busy I am, no matter what kind of stuff that I occupied with.

Personally, I think it is what I so called “the debater curse”. Did you realize; you guys who are debaters no matter what universities or campuses; your life totally change after you joined TDC? Maybe before this you are nobody or merely a number of people know you and having such a free-time-moments after you finish your class. But after you become a debater, suddenly the whole burden of assignments, research, presentation, life obstacles, matter-which-are-not-concern-to-you and what-are-the-things-that-made-me-busy-all-suddenly-which-I-do-
not-know-what-I-am-busy-about are on your shoulders? Hence, I advised to all debaters out there if you want to attract people to join TDC, please DO-NOT-IN-WHAT-EVER-THINGS-OR-LIFE-THREATENING-SITUATION you mention about this curse or they will back off. I mean the burden will not come in a pile in a jiffy but it will slowly come to you and by the accordance of time, it will pile up more than come-in-a-pile-in-a-jiffy. So debaters; between you and me; shut the things up.

For this week, for the first time ever I just stayed at home for one day. Mind you that my course in UiTM were having their “Family Day” which apparently I didn’t go due to the fact that I’m a busy person; no time to enjoy myself; and also I need to take care of the house especially my brothers (seven of them) and my little sister because my parents are having their business to attend which make them have to leave the house for 2 days. Since I’m the ONLY elder brother which my parents can count on, therefore I leave all the stuff behind and went back home. But suddenly, on my first day Zureen called me stating that she wanted to see me. By leaving my duty to my father whom came home that time and my usu, I went back to UiTM seeking for Yaya and Zureen.

That Saturday night, apparently there is an occasion of “Battle of The Band” in conjunction with “Malam Gala Gading”. That night, I went there with B.J and his friends but unexpectedly I sat together with Jesse, Asma and Kaka. After I accompanied the girls back to their dorm block, I went back to Youth Floor and waited for Yaya before she called me to meet at the road between the canteen and Dewan Jubli. From there; exception to Zureen’s kept-on-interupting; Yaya and me talk and we already resolved the matter. Almost of the girls in the world, I wouldn’t sacrifice, burden and jeopardize my friendship with Yaya, Zureen nor Hana. They are my trustful and true female friends ever. They are meant a lot to me then I meant to them.

So I’ve heard the rumour that for the next “Family Day” that my classmates want to select me as the Project Manager due to the fact that they are quite pissed that I actually didn’t come for the Family Day since 3 semesters ago. Yes people, starting in Part 1 until Part 3 (now), I didn’t bother go even once. So by that, they want to increase my burden. First thing first, it is not that I don’t want to handle the project but people; I’M A BUSY BOY. Due to this fact, you actually want my commitment towards this stuff which apparently most of you know that I might do not get 100% commitment towards these things. People, come on and grow up. Please do not put the project at stake because it involves big budgets and a huge number of people. It involves the whole Ladang course for goodness sake. Either you listen to me or not, do not blame the outcome.

Hence, I’m looking forward to the things that might happen this week and like I said to myself when I’m in a tight, tense, out-of-time and stress moments, “I’ll manage”.
