Everything's gonna be alright

Last night, some dude rang the doorbell of my house and identified himself as a TMnet personel, claiming to do a survey on streamyx. Usually I would greet him at the gate and get the survey done on the spot. However, in a very rare occasion, my dad invited the dude INTO the house.. right... I was halfway watching Macca, Paul, Jamie and Shebs arguing when my dad asked me to talk to that dude.. it went well, something like this:

dude: Hello, sorry to disturb you. My name is (I forgot his name).
me : Hi, have a seat
dude: I'm gonna ask a few questions about your internet connection ok?
me : Go ahead
dude: Alright, first of all, are you using TMnet streamyx?
me : Yeah, of course
dude: Ah thats good. Which package are you using?
me : umm... Package 99.. the 1Mbps one..
dude: Ah thats brilliant. Do you have any problems or complaints?
me : uhh..
dude: Maybe about the speed or stability?
me : ah right... the speed is rather.. slow.. I mean like its stated 1mbps but I dont get that speed
dude: okay, using the speedometer, what speed did you get?
me : (I never actually checked, so I just gave some random number) about 400kbps I think..
dude: okay thats slow..
me : Tell me about it
dude: hehe. do you have any other complaints like disconnection etc?
me : Initially yeah but I think its quite stable now..
dude: Alright, thats it. Thanks alot for your time..
me : Sure thing.. Goodnight..

To my surprise, that dude was quite polite and friendly. My previous encounters didn't speak English at all! Anyhow, I did the speed test and my initial random number was quite off:



Oh well.. hahaha... At least TMnet can improve their services...

This morning, I woke up, showered and decided to check up on the news on the net for awhile..



My initial thoughts were about Thira and her family but she told me that everything's normal and as usual.. She even went to the movies! So I guess its alright...

Thats it for tonight..
