Sony Ericsson W980 RIP (not a review)

Sony Ericsson W980, brand new with the packaging arrived on my doorstep on the 14th October. Sleek piano black and phone memory up to 8GB. What more is there to it. I didn’t choose the phone, but I absolutely loved it. 

But what happened on the 20th October? I lost it. First thing that stuck me was the fact I was on an 18 month contract. I would still be paying the monthly fees even if I was not using the phone. Then I depressed that I had lost the 2 phones charms I got in Korea, I really like those.

I stood at the bus station waiting for my buss driver to return, actually hoping someone was kind enough to hand it back. Not likely, but I still hoped.

I asked a member of the staff if there was anything that could have been done, for example leaving a message for the driver. His answer was flat, and rather rude. What else had I expected, he probably has to deal with the same situation day after day. In a way, I pitied him. 

So I sat at the station whist I waited, with my art journal out I began to draw. I say draw but it was just scribbling and blacking any white sections on the page

It was an hour before my bus driver came back, I knew what the answer would be when I asked him if someone had handed in a phone.

Ah well.. what can one do? Go home and find some Pocky..

Tuesday 29th July

I know this is kinda late but this is something I wrote whilst being bored in Hong kong. 

 

To say that today was tiring is seriously an understatement. The plane ride was uncomfortable, I was relieved to be getting off it. The weather was freaking crazy and Elainey was feeling sick. Where to start..

The car ride to Heathrow was pretty smooth, we didn’t get caught on huge queuing traffic and we found the car park with plenty of time left to check in. My mother, dad and brother all sat together on a row of seats, leaving me and my sister with 2 other women on a separate row. Elaine sat on the outside so she didn’t really have that much of a problem, me however, sat next to one for the women. Obviously she doesn’t believe one should have their own personal space. Her elbow was forever touching me and crossing the invisible wall I placed between us. We never spoke to each other but I believed she was changing planes to Vietnam. Twas a very uncomfortable journey.

Compared to BA the airline I went with last year CP had more entertainment to offer and the food was alrightish. The seats were still very uncomfortable though. Personally I don’t like sleeping whilst sitting. Apparently I always sleep on my side, my sister has obviously been observing me.

Getting off the plane wasn’t any better. The interiors of the airport were overwhelming and I temporally forgot all my tiredness. That was until I got outside. I was laughing when my dad said HK weather was like being in an oven, I thought it was a little extreme. I still think it’s a little extreme to compare it was something like an oven but at that moment, I totally agreed with him. I think it must have been around 35/36 degrees but it felt like 200. The weather in England rarely gets up to 30 and when it does I get my energy drained. After a pretty long car ride, I got back to my gramps.  He has a new servant and she refers my dad as 少爺 aka Young master. My brother is 小少爺 which is err young young master? We all get funny titles but lets not go into that. Now that I mention it, I didn’t actually get the servant’s name.

We were showed the place we were supposed to be staying at, I was both relieved and disappointed. Relived because I didn’t have to stay at my granddad’s and disappointed because I thought the place would be in a better condition. One cannot hope for too much though, I have a room to myself.

Shortly after arriving we set off again to find food. My stepgran brought us to a Chinese restaurant and we got served funny soup. It wasn’t like the soup tasted bad, it was actually very nice but well.. Scroll down to see what I mean.

The food was ok there, didn’t get to eat a lot just in case I start having an allergic reactions. In a way I was kind of glad I didn’t eat much. My brother kindly pointed out there was a woman in the kitchens cutting her nails. Mhm.. just great.  That immediately put me off the food. 

Even with the sun out I still feel like I’m being cooked. Like those steamed buns. So tired, it’s currently 10pm in HK and 3pm England time. Me however need my sleep, I’m currently on neither time zones.

 

 

Rankings on TO

 

A foolishly foolish fool ranting about something foolish. Be warned.

Recently someone posted a thread on MyMMO Games forums about how much one cares about the rankings. As expected many people said they didn’t care. I would like to say that myself but I have to admit once you get into the top 50s of anything it’s get annoying, disappointing or even frustrating when someone from no where gets a head of you. As for my Lion and Sheep they are no where near the top, so I’m not really bothered about the rankings. However I do get annoyed with my kitteh if she drops down, with reason of course. She was top 10 on the Charm rankings one day and the next day she drops to 15. I understand this is something that is extremely ridiculous to get annoyed about but if I could have stopped myself I would have done so.  

Still… It would be nice if something actually say what they actually think. I suspect quite a few of the people I’ve talked to are not being completely honest. That sort of annoys me too. I mean, it’s only the internet, not many people actually know you so why not try for a little honesty?
