PSP for 20$

Sweetest Suffering: PSP for $20 on Amazon.ca is no big deal. EB is having it for $20 on Boxing Day too...

(See Flyer)


** Note to gf: (economisez = savings, haha, not The price)

Carry-on Lock

Sweetest Suffering locked her carry-on with the lock. But couldn't unlock it at the hotel room. Somehow and mysteriously, she managed to change the lock combination and I had to crack the code.

Misato

While trying to make reservation for us, she called the wrong number and left a voice mail to the wrong restaurant.

Who called the right number? H. Bee did...

Misato

While pointing out something, he tipped the menu and his green tea spilled all over our table. Nice NICEE =p

New Super Mario Bros. fail

Pressing "A" to bubble when I was the one in danger... hence, killing us both.

Butt Stomping me and made me lose my Penguin suit.

And stepping on me when she was a giant screen-sized Toad, flattening my Mario...

Movie Pass Fail

I figured, if I write about it first, he won't tag me as a fail!
** You are wrong ** LOL


Edit: Sweetest Suffering epic fail...

False Win:
Displaying creative talent with Ninja Assassin movie pass last night.

Epic Fail:
She had the advance screening pass all along... >.<

Solitaire Dominance

Crushed the gf 9-0-1 for the first night, and then 10-0 on the second night at MSN Solitaire.

Not to mention shutting her out completely with ZERO points on three occasion. Last night being the most recent.

Oh ya!!

American Flag fail

This is the second time my Sweetest Suffering failed to notice the "American Flag" on the Dell website, hence indicating it is an "US" only deal and not Canadian.

1st time was for the monitor, and now for the Wii.

Purell Fail

With all the scare for H1N1, Bee decides to use some hand sanitizer in the car that I had gave him - a completely new bottle. While sitting in the car without lights on, he unscrews the pump and pushes one full pump. He cries out "What the Duck!" Apparently Bee didn't know that one full pump would be too much for his two hands, and decides to out-smart the situation... by rubbing other surfaces to sanitize the area as well > his leather-lined steering wheel. Yet again, "What the Duck!!"
Alcohol and leather, Bee?

Pillar & Newspaper Fail

Bee's failS of the day:

Today, I ran for the bus and stopped halfway to grab the newspaper so I'd have something to read on the 40 min bus ride.  While running, I scraped my knuckles against some stone pillars on the sidewalk rushing to grab the paper.  I now have bleeding knuckles and YESTERDAY's newspaper.  FML.

She forgot her fancy vacuum mug in the rental car last week...

Should really be a fail, but I'll be nice and won't categorize it as one.

Getting Lost... inside a condo

Sweetest Suffering and I went to look at condo this afternoon at Castello. While viewing the Sabastian show suite, Sweetest Suffering got lost INSIDE the condo. Mind you, it was spacious and over 1200 square feet... but still... getting lost inside a condo? Fail :P

Birthday fail...

The Gf was supposed to create an account on DisneyMovieReward with a fake birthday so we could get National Treasure on Blu-ray earlier. Instead, she used her real birthday so now we need to wait until next year to get my National Treasure.

Clark Kent

Halloween is coming, and we need a costume for Bee.
He and his friend had a genius idea - dress up as Superman underneath work attire such as Clark Kent. We went to Wal-Mart yesterday to look for a Superman costume. Sure enough, we found one of the last ones left on rack, purchased, done! But, he became mini-Man instead of Superman. That is what you get for Kids Medium, babe.

Transit Fail

The geek fell asleep on the train, missed her stop and didn't wake up until Somerset... /sigh

Reversi Fail

She meant to close Help, but closed the whole game instead...

Dreaming of Madden

he ended solitaire showdown on msn with me and said he was sleepy, said he will call me after he brushes his teeth before bed, and half hour goes by, i call him, hes playing madden
- FML.

Astronomy 101

So Humble Bee and Sweetest Suffering were watching some astronomy show on Discovery HD the other night...



Sweetest Suffering to Bee: How many times does the Earth rotate around the Sun each year?

Humble Bee to Gf: *smile* Just once, honey. That's why we call it a year...

Modem Fail

Sure enough, my lights weren't blinking - my ISP must be having server problems. I call up Shaw and the electronic auto message system tells me that the community very close to mine is having server issues, it will be fixed shortly. But, really? It wasn't my neighborhood. I stayed on the line to speak to a representative - to check whether my area is affected. He tells me no my internet should be fine.  He asked if the lights were all on and solid, well, NO of course not, which is why I called in the first place (only one orange blinking light). He then asked me the real question, did you turn on your modem?

...

...

For the whole time, I thought my modem was on! I never turned it off. As it turns out, all my shuffling resulting from setting up a new desktop may have touched the on/off button of the modem. I felt like an idiot.

>> What's even worse is when I asked him, does my wireless internet work? =_+ [too embarrasing to elaborate, please excuse me]

Drool

Sweetest Suffering drooled on me when she slept against my arm as we drove back from Lake Louise.

eAuction

< insert fail story please >


Read fineprint... ar Bee



Edit: Added Fine Prints...

Excludes Hawaii... and pretty much every other destinations outside Canada and the US.
Must pay your own taxes
Blackout dates: no long weekend, Christmas, Easter ... and every holidays

First FML

Hmm... got kicked out of the house at 12:30 am in the morning. Not cool. FML

Tea Fail

Sweetest Suffering burn tongue while drinking hot tea this evening.

Words to Learn

Bane of my existence does not know the definition of the word bane as well as using curvaceous to describe the winding roads to BC :P

Modem Fail

Sweetest Suffering's wired Internet connection failed. She blamed it on the router ... but she actually forgot to plug in the other end of the RJ-59 cable to the router. ^_^

Map Update Fail

Thought I'd be smart and keep my map app updated on the cell phone. Instead... it broke and now I have no map on the phone.

Re-installing it as we speak and hoping it'll work. Map fail.


Update: Fixed the map app, and it's working fine after re-installing everything.

Climbing Fail

Arrived at friend's event for indoor climbing today in the morning at 10:30 AM, only the hour of operation is 12-6 in July and August. Even though that was a fail, we had a nice brunch instead

Globalfest Fail

- Rafting fail in the morning ... meeting up at 10:30 am at the zoo became 12:00 pm at Bowness Park.

- Drifting down the river on a raft for 3 hours to 7/11 by Crowchild while inhaling second smoke = 2nd fail.

- Showering at Erik's house = 1 win
- Picking apples with Sweetest Suffering = 2nd win


- Losing gf at GlobalFest = another 0.5 fail

Eventual Entry of Fail

BB bought a 16GB memory card for his "eventual" DSLR - D90...
Why an eventual entry of fail? It would be a fail if BB doesn't end up buying the D90

Gaming Router Fail

Super Router failed this week...

RIP, my dependable D-Link DGL-4300. You served us well for the past 2 1/2 years, especially during the peak of our WoW days, prioritizing the gaming packets as needed.

Let's hope your successor perform just as well, if not better.

Badminton Fail

Sweetest Suffering walks into a badminton net while picking up a shuttlecock. If only there were others to witness her epic fail. Alas, only I appreciated her grandeur. ^_^

Lock and Glove Fail

Sweetest Suffering locked mom outside house on Saturday.

Bf and SS stucked in traffic for 30 minutes attempting to circumnavigate crazing mob heading to CrossIron Mills Mall, en route back to house to let mom in.

Later that afternoon, glove fail on bf when he exercised, in spite of his small hands.

All in all, a rather eventful day, despite not going to wallclimbing and not making to the CrossIron Mills mall.

HP Monitor and Keyboard combo Fail

HP LP1965

-- Monitor failed today. It would dim and brighten randomly throughout the day. I got a new one.

HP Keyboard fail

-- Currently, cannot type "?", quotations marks and <> in certain apps.

°°°:::__°°°:::°°°:::__°°°:::

Those are what I get. LOL Almost looks like Braille.

Fail at being myself.

Thank you BB, I will take time to understand and learn who I am. Please be patient. Be hopeful, have faith.

I miss you from Toronto.

MSN Fail

Gf's message to Bf:
ey brucie, toronto weather is really nice here. but im feeling lonely at night. wish u were online to talk to me

Bf's response to Gf:
should be more careful with your MSN windows in the future.
Make sure you send it to the right person and someone actually named Brucie....

Spoon Fail

Lost the spoon I borrowed from the Korean Air three years ago. Now I have no spoon for lunch at work... Bah.



August 18th, 2009 Update:
Korea Airline Loses...
Pol found a new spoon. Turns out Pol's mom also borrowed a set when she flew Korean Airline years ago.

Salad Fail?

Leaving your salad sitting in your car for 9 hours all day last Saturday, and eating it next Monday for lunch couldn't possibly be bad for you, could it?

Update:
Felt fine the next day. So a win!

Aspen Beach Fail

The much anticipated beach event at Aspen was canceled yesterday due to some very un-summer-like weather. Temperature high's of 20C degree was not ideal for the beach so we all opted to go race Go-Kart and play laser tag instead.

DDR: Failed at Standard setting for Dance Dance Revolution at the arcade.

Who knew DDR could be that hard?

GG, Calgary weather. Cool and rainy for the past two weeks... but forecast to be 30C this weekend.

Oasys Lenses fail

Getting pwned by this pair of Oasys contact lenses. Gonna need to throw them out tonight...

Really? Who put on their contact lenses like that?!

Those are pretty scary man-fingers in that picture.

Door Fail

Sweetest Suffering failed to open doors to Bubblemania this evening, and almost fell onto the curb. GG, babe.

What NOT to say to your gf

Marriage is just a 'contract' created by the institution of our society that fails as often as it succeeds. Created by the bourgeois desire to fulfill an ideal that society embeds in us from an early age to promote consumer capitalist agenda.

Misc Fail

So my fail was forgetting my ID Card in my jacket's pocket, which was on loan to Sweetest Suffering the previous evening as it was cold and raining.

As such she dropped by on Tuesday after work to give me back the ID Card. It was a very nice and sweet gesture, but she also walked in the wrong direction heading home afterward. I saw that fail! @_@

Olive Counting Fail

Saturday evening, a blistering hot day. We ate at Cora's in the afternoon for brunch, did some shopping and had an otherwise marvelous day. In the evening the plan was to meet up with Sweetest Suffering's friends for dinner. So we arrived at Olive Garden early, and I asked the gf how many people we have in our party.

She did some counting and came back with 6 people. Fair enough. Fifteen minutes later, we had ourselves a table for 6 and were seated. Shorftly after, her friends arrived and we realized she mis-counted. It's 7 people and not 6 ... so we all had to get back to the queue to wait for another table large enough for 7 because adding an extra chair to ours was a fire hazard.

Olive Garden, you fail...
and my Sweetest Suffering also can't count. hehehe

Math 101 Fail

So my brilliant engineering gf and I were driving through downtown last Friday, en route to dinner when we saw Encana's new 58-story building , The Bow. I casually remarked it will soon be Calgary's tallest building.

In response, my ever patriotic gf said The Bow is not even HALF as tall as the Taipei 101 (which, of course, has 101 floors).

^_^

I did some quick math in my head and 2 x 58 = 116, which is taller than the 101 floors.

She countered that even doubling The Bow, it is still only 5 floors taller than the Taipei 101.

Like any good bf would do, I corrected her of course, and got pinched for my reward.

...

- you got that right!

Gondola Fail

After an arduous hike and completing Sulphur Mountain. All of us were ready to take the gondola down. Except for one simple thing.

Accidentally leaving the gf to stand by herself as the gondola I'm in takes off. hahaha... Oops.

Cable Win? (for 6 months)

The 6 month promotion with Shaw is up, and I was debating whether to switch to Bell or not. The current agreement was decent at the time, but we have further needs since (namely, hook up more TV to HD contents.

Current / Old deal:

- HD Plus free for 6 months ($9)
- 2 months of Movie Central ($15 x 2)
- Premium Entertainment Bundle for $39.95 instead of $58.95 for 6 months.
- Free rental of the HD PVR for 6 months (option to purchase it for $349 after, orig price $649)

(I was happy at the time because the monthly invoice actually came out cheaper with the Premium bundle, and I got HD contents for free)

New Deal with Shaw:
- HD Plus free for another 6 months ($9)
- 3 months of SuperChannel free ($15 x 3)
- No premium bundle. We're down to basic, but $19 credit each month
- 1 month Fairchild ($18.95)
- Extreme Internet for $22 for 6 months
- 6 month free rental of HD receiver
- Buy the HD PVR for $249

Bell could probably offer me something similar, but it's an easier path to stay with Shaw. The deal is good, and the savings are great. I guess in 6 months, I will have to switch to Telus or Bell since Shaw will have a difficult time upping the deal they just offered.

Movie Marathon!

$2.99 for blu-ray...
Given all the circumstances, potter wins, asian girl fails.

Printer Win

So our printer ran out of toner for like 6 months now, and I never bother to refill the toner (didn't even check whether we could). So today, we instead went out and bought a new laser printer. The HP LaserJet 1080. For a whooping $34.99 + $8 environmental fee. It came to $42 dollars, which is still cheaper than getting a new toner or the toner refill.

I think that's a win!

Lunch Box Fail

Took my lunch box home today, but it was empty. I forgot I've used the porcelain container to hold pizza (taken from the kitchen this afternoon) for tomorrow's lunch. No wonder it was so light. So how am I going to carry my lunch container home tomorrow?

At least I didn't get rain on going home today.
(Update: A week later, on a Monday, I finally took home the lunch container)

Nero Fail

• Install Nero 9 trial. Check.
• Download keygen for Nero 9. Check.
• McAfee anti-virus detects trojan virus in keygen. Fail.
• Search for Nero 9 serial online. Check.
• Removed Nero 9 Trial serial. Check.
• Nero uninstalls itself. FAIL.

Now I have no Nero. What the duck!

DVD-ROM Fail

Was installing Adobe Acrobat last night, and forgot to take the plastic sticky off the dvd prior to putting it into the dvd-reader.

Heard a *swoosh* sound and thought to myself ... UH-OH! I could leave it inside, but then the laser might melt the darn thing and start a fire. Better try to take it out.

So in order to do so, I had to uninstall the dvd-rom, remove it and use a clipper to pull the plastic sticky out.

Poop-ed

To wash or not to wash, to clean or not to clean... to poop or not to poop

Just to clear things up first, not my fail... I won't mention a name. Here we have a nice and sparkly car, right out of a premium car wash from a trusted and loyal company. Although the car wash was only at most 45 seconds long, but it was believed to provide long-lasting shine. Yet, ruined by a simple (not so elegant) dropping from a cute flying animal - in less than 10 minutes.

Juice or Slush

Went to Bubble**nia with Bee on Canada Day before the fireworks to kill some time. I wanted some blueberry drink, by that I mean using fresh blueberries to make a drink without any other additives or sugar. I guess I could have asked for 'blueberry juice without sugar' but instead I asked Bee to order "blueberry slush without sugar" ... little did we know, it was blueberry powder with blueberry syrup in slush form. It tasted sweet and watery. Of course, I made my usual complaint to my boyfriend (I know he is enjoying reading this part), he then made another order to server for exactly what I wanted, it was good. Yes, it tasted good. All the fuss for something that could have been simply avoided, if only I said JUICE

---

The bill came, it said:

1 blueberry slush
1 blueberry juice

Computer Fail

Actually a couple of computer fails this week.

Fail #1 was catching the 'hook' trojan virus -- somewhat embarrassed I actually got a virus. So I figure it would be a good time to format and try the new Windows 7. Formatted the hard drive and ... BAM. Computer doesn't recognize the hard drive anymore. I tried all sorts of tricks like installing Vista instead of Windows 7, and even downgrading back down to Windows XP, but nothing worked. I also tried downloading new drivers and even connecting the kitchen sink to no avail. In the end, I had to go out and buy a new hard drive. Managed to install Windows 7 on it and it's great!! Really enjoying Windows 7.


Fail #2. Windows 7 Ultimate has a new feature called BitLocker that encrypts and protects your hard drive. So the other night, I tried it on my E:\ drive (Hobbes) ... and the next day, it disappeared. What did I meant by 'it disappeared'? Well, my E:\ drive is no longer there and visible in Explorer. The drive is now so secured that even I can't access it. LOL

Ironically, Hobbes is the same drive in Fail #1. Maybe the drive is just a fail.

Noodle Win?

Then I remember there is another nearby noodle house (Phoenix Express ... or whatever it's called). So we went there for rice noodles... I ordered it to go, and this was what I got... LOL 2nd Fail of the Day. It was the saddest soup noodle with rare beef I've eaten. See for yourself. (It tasted alright though, but that was probably because I was so hungry).

So while I thought it was a noodle win it was another noodle fail.

Noodle Fail

So I didn't pack lunch today, and had to go buy lunch. I was debating whether to get Tim Horton's sandwich/soup combo or Vietnamese noodles. In the end I decided upon noodles. But it was a lunch fail since the noodle shop was closed.

C-Train Fail

Decided to take the C-train to work this morning (after a half-year hiatus of taking the 301 BRT), and all was well. I had my earphones and music on, took the community bus and arrived at the Dalhousie train station shortly thereafter.

Grabbed the Metro newspaper, and leisurely walked to the train station. I noticed there were no train waiting at the station, so I had time to linger on the 2nd level, reading my newspaper. It's the end of the line, so the trains usually wait at the station...

Next thing I know, a train arrives from the west... and it hit me. The new Crowfoot station! Dalhousie is no longer the last station so there would be no train waiting... So I dashed downstairs, pushing everyone out of the way ... all to no avail as I still missed the train. What a fail.

Rafting Fail

Getting your raft flipped on the Kicking Horse River near Golden is probably not the best way to enjoy white water rafting.

Scrambling for air as the rapids pummel you into the river was frightening.

Reaching the raft, climbing onto it, and leaping into another raft was rewarding.

Surviving the ordeal. Priceless.
