my keyboard dieded today

It did. I'm not kidding. I'm now using the new one I bought
just a while ago. My old one started acting up a couple of
days ago, but it was an on-off thing, sometimes, the
letters come out, and sometimes it didn't. Wasn't causing
me that much trouble, so I didn't think much of it until
today. Spent the whole time in my room online, so had
plenty of chances to use my keyboard and then one by one,
the letters dieded. first it was "N" then, "B", then "L",
then it was the "." And then "O". After a while it got
really infuriating cos i was chatting on icq with a few of
my frens and i couldn't type the words i wanted. and here
are some of the excerpts of my wat i typed from my history:

keyvoard die liao.... sometimes have, sometimes du have...
ow du have letter ' ".... argh, cat eve te ll u wat letters
missi

dammmit!

g0tta trave1 a11 e way there,,,, sigh

dumm0e dum care,,, keyv0ard!!! wake up!

got extra keyvoard t0 give

harlow *questio mark*

my keyv0ard is dead,,, s0me 1etters dieded 1ia


Not sure if you can make sense of wat i typed... my "?" oso
died, so i had to make do wif typing "question mark". and
instead of using "O", i used "0", and instead of "L", i
used "1"... you get the picture. It was really pathetic. My
frens were having quite a hoot laughing at my predicament.

In the end, after making a few calls to see whether anyone
had a spare keyboard to give.. (with no success). I decided
to go out and buy a new one. So I went out to get one, and
I bought all my groceries and dinner on the way too. And
when I got back, waddayanoe, the damn thing was too small.
I mean, the plug is too small for the female part of my
cpu. I tot I was using ps/2 all along, so i bought a ps/2
one.

So after wolfing down my zinger, I had to go out all the
way again back to the shop and asked for a change. The guy
there was really nice about it and told me that wat i am
using must be an AT. "OH!" So I made the guy pick another
one for me. "bingo, that's the kind of plug my cpu uses."
it cost 4 more bucks than the one i bought previously, so i
had to top it up. So.. $19.90 for a Genius keyboard. Maybe
using a Genius keyboard will make me more of a genius..
heheh. I can only hope!

Boy was the weather hot! Hate this hot weather. wish it
would rain, and cool everything down. T told me once that
the rain makes him horny. hahah, then he must horny all the
time cos it rains so often in Singapore!

he's quite a horny toad. awritey, enough nonsense for now.
i gotta tidy my room a little and go bathe. maybe T will be
online later.
