Frustration

For a couple of weeks, ive been feeling this way. Frustrated in everything i did. not everything la...but for most of things. I felt like my first attempt always fail.

Frustration #1 - The new cable for the new TV
I frustrated with the quality of the display. So wat i did? I bought the component and s-video cables that cost me 300. But the cable was broken. grrrr! all the blues became greens. for example, when i watched 'Finding Nemo', the water in the movie looked all green instead of blue. So i knew there was something wrong with the cable. We went back to the shop to change for the new one. But all the new cables have the same problem. Dem! The salesman said theres probably somethin wrong with the new stock. The only cable that didnt have that problem was the one that they used for display in the shop. S0 i have no choice but to take that cable. If not, I have to wait for another 2 weeks until the new stock arrives. No freakin way!

Frustration #2 - Paint
I painted the interior wall of the house. That was my 1st time painting a house. Berpeluh2 tau, and fasting some more! I promised my husband that he doesnt have to worry about a single thing since he was so busy with work. Let me handle everything, i told him. All he had to do was to awe after i finished with the painting and decoration. So I chose 2 colors, soft purple and apple green. but after I spent almost 5 hours working on the wall, green looked outa place. Dem! After 1 day of misery, the next day I repainted the green to soft purple. No more green. Waste of energy! urgh!

Before

AfterThis how the house looks now. Its a working progress. The cradle is not suppose to be there ok.



Frustration #3 - the curtain
Look at the first 2 pix. on the green wall, no curtain, on the purple one, got curtain. Which means i only hang the curtain recently. Guess how many nights did i try to drill the holes on the wall to place the curtain holder? 3 freakin nights, ok!! Penat gilos!! The wall was so dem hard to drill. I had to drill the holes on several places and had to patch them back. And after succeded, with glory, or so i thot... i hang the curtain. And look at it. Its 1 feet short from the floor! Dem! Dem! Dem. And even worse, the left side of the curtain is 1 inch shorter than the other side. Curse you, IKEA! How can u sell the curtain with different lengths!

Frustration #4 - Torrent
this one has nothing to do with my house. I downloaded 2 movies, ironman and x-men origins wolverine. i wanted to watch them on TV. i've waited 3 days for the 4.3 gig ironman to complete. and after completed, i tried to copy it into my 8 gig thumbdrive. TAK BOLEH! Hell, no! my husband said its becoz of the thumdrive format. FAT32 format cant support 4 gig file at one shot. So he helped me reformat the thumbdrive to NTFS format, then only i managed to transfer the movie into the thumbdrive. But when i plugged in the thumbrive to the TV, error msg came out 'unsupported device'. Hell no x 10! i think the tv only support FAT32 format. so i had to download a new one. and as of now, only 1.1% completed.

and wat happened to x-men origins? after 99.7% completed, it stopped downloading. no seed. Seriously!! its 0.3% left!!!

i downloaded a new one. 100% completed. But it was a fraud! when i played the movie, came out a msg 'Use windows media player'. when i use WMP, nothing happened. DEM to the power of infinity!!!!
