ACER Sucks

I vow this is the first and LAST time I'm buying anything from Acer.

Slightly after a year after I bought my current Acer laptop, I noticed the appearance of a line that ran from top of the LCD screen to the bottom. I thought nothing about it.

A few days later, another line appeared. Still, I did nothing.

A week later, I had 10 vertical lines of assorted colours on my laptop screen. Hmmm... colourful.

I logged on to Acer website to find out the location of the service centre, and "on the way" checked my warranty expiry date. To my dismay, my warranty was only ONE year!!!! And I just passed the one year mark!!!

I mean, I paid full price for this laptop, it wasn't on any promotion! Shouldn't I deserve at least 2 years of warranty????????????????????

Now, I have to spend $550 to repair the hardware defect!! What rubbish?!

I'm even more upset at the unreliability of Acer products. Afterall, the laptop's only over a year old! What shit is this?!

I refused to pay, and decided to live with it. Another 6 months down the road, this is how my screen looks now......

Disorientation At Lunch

After giving it ALOT of thought, I have made up my mind!!! I decided...... to have economical rice (aka 菜饭) for lunch today! *Tsk tsk*

Me (points at kangkong):
Ah, auntie, 我要这个。

Auntie:
还有呢?

Me (points at some fried meat chunks):
这个是什么?

Auntie:
猪肉。

Me:
噢,OK,我要这个。

Auntie:
还有呢?
(this is probably the most commonly used phrase amongst all 菜饭 aunties/uncles)

Me:
Hmmm... curry chicken。

At this moment, the auntie threw me a disturbed look.

Auntie:
还要鸡肉?
(note that she stressed on “还要”.)

I threw back an equally disturbed look and nodded my head.

Come on lah, what's wrong with having both pork and chicken? Cannot have 2 meat + 1 veg meh? Duh!

Just before the auntie closed the lid of my 菜饭 box, she added in a fried egg (I assumed it's FOC). Duh! Like the extra egg's gonna make the meal healthier loh! The best part was, she charged me a bloody $4.50 for my 2-meat-1-veg meal! Economical rice?! *PUI*

Anywayz, I da-bao my lunch and bought some cut fruits (watermelon + apples) at another stall on my way back to office.

Back in office, I was just about to start on my fruits when, to my dismay, I realised, instead of apples, the fruits auntie gave me honeydew!!! Arghhh!

H-E-L-L-O!!! 苹果 and 蜜瓜 don't sound alike at all lor!!!

What's wrong with people today?!?!?!

*Gasps*
