Why Would I Write

  • Unlucky

    Last week I mentioned that my laptop was having issues – I couldn’t turn it on without plugging it into a wall socket. This was terrible for me since I couldn’t work on a computer out of the house. I like my coffee and cigarettes without having to take a break from the keyboard.

    Anyway, I brought my laptop to the service center on Sunday and got it back Tuesday – pretty good service IMO. According to the salesman, the laptop I bought was a flagship product, so it supposedly had a higher priority when it comes to servicing. Not sure if he was spewing bullshit since the other salesman told me that my laptop was eligible for a 1:1 replacement if there was anything wrong within 2 weeks (which turned out to be false). Even the rep at the official service center told me he was surprised at how new my laptop was. He also mentioned that it was the first time they had received the device for servicing since it was a brand new model (almost 2 months old when I bought it).

    But whatever, I got it back and it seems to be working fine for now. Hopefully I won’t have to take it back to the service center anytime soon. Apparently there was a problem with some battery connector or something in the laptop. They reattached it properly and it’s fixed.

  • Back Home

    This morning after doing some reading, I decided to myself that today was the day I’d be going back home. So I got out of bed, washed up, started packing and loading my car. I made sure everything was turned off (gas, lights and mains), locked up the place and got in my car. Less than 5 minutes later, I found myself stuck in the worst traffic jam I’ve had to sit through for days. According to Google, it was going to add an hour to my journey home. I decided to drive to the closest place possible to have some lunch and hopefully wait out the jam. It somewhat worked, after lunch Google told me that the way back was still jammed, but this time it was only adding 26 minutes to my drive. I decided to brave it.

    Three and a half hours later, I found my way home. Another uneventful drive, which I’m thankful for, and now I’m blogging from the comfort of my own room (yay). No more having to bundle myself up just to stop myself from shivering. Also, I get to hang out with my doggo ?.

    Not much else to say except that it’s the weekend (yay!). I’ve started reading Wonder Book and Get Started in Creative Writing – they’ve given me a lot of good points to be continuously inspired for my writing. I’m definitely going to be posting up the writing exercises that I’ll be doing from those books.

    I’ve also been keeping up with Inktober (day 7 today), so follow me on Instagram if you’re keen on checking out terrible art.
