Bye Bye Modem..

Did anyone tell you on a rainy day, you must unplug your modem and switched off your computers? Well, a lot of ppl told me that, and I myself also know but i forgot about it yesterday afternoon. It was cloudy yesterday, we planned to go out after lunch, but then FL said, wait lar, we go out at 3pm ok.. well, i know he missed his computer games.. ok lar, 3pm 3pm lor. so while he playing his computer games, i watched my downloaded movies...basically we both are not using the internet.

It started drizzling at around 3pm, since it's raining, we decided to go out later... then suddenly it started to rain heavily..and then i heard this 'BBBBOOOOMMMM', fire alarm goes off, cars alarm goes off, saw the lighting strike the roof, something dropped!! FL's computer restarted by itself, my notebook was still ok.. Immediately we both shut down the computers and unplug our modem...but..it's too late... my modem kena already... and the wireless router? FL checked and he said seems ok...~sigh..

got this modem free from telekom when
i subscribed streamyx 2 yrs ago...
it's time to say bye bye...
~sigh, i can't live without internet..
so after shutting down everything,
we went to digital mall to get a new modem.

we bought this for RM 90.
why aztech? well it's the cheapest we can find..
hehe...

looks quite nice if compared to
the telekom free modem rite?
of cos lar. RM 90 wor...

we headed back home after we got the modem. FL started to configure the modem.. then he told me something. 'I think our router also kena strike!!!!!' what?? just now u said ok, now said not ok? he said the router kena strike but not completed KO, it still can work, connected to the internet ok, but after 15 minutes it will auto disconnect, then connect again, and it will lasts for 15 minutes..unless u keep restart and restart and restart.... ~sigh... so how?

bought another wireless router lor..
what to do? bought this at Kepong, Jusco for RM140..
it's more expensive to buy at kepong jusco if
compared to digital mall...

Aztech took away RM 230 from us in
2 days time.. :(

The moral of this post is, remember to unplug the modem, switch off your computers when rain!! else, you will end up like me.. oh ya, did i mention my TV also kena strike? ~sigh..although still can watch, but with multi color. it's like u're watching the incredible hulk, every face is green color.. and the rest of the color all lari... red becomes green, brown becomes green, green becomes other color, blue becomes dono wat.. ~sigh.....
