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.
