Blog Break
For the past week, I’ve given my blog a break because one of my dear friends of 5 years passed away. He had been battling an incurable disease of internal organs failure which left him on life support 24/7. Basically, his internals fail to function properly and at full capacity. If you took his life support off he’d struggle to stay alive... and within three hours he would be dead. He looked so pitiful lying on the bed with the life support... his only support for life! Just like a vegetable... not being able to do anything but just lay there.
I guess the state that he had come to was slow one. He just sort of developed into this vegetable state after he went swimming and sort of drowned before I had to pull him out. That was a pretty terrible day to recall. I mean, he knows he can’t swim – but I guess it was my fault, I should have been looking after him.
But we decided that it was time for him to go, and the life support would be too costly to continue to leave him on it. Besides, it wasn’t good for him to just be alive rather than living and in use. So the other day, I was the one that took the life support off him and plugged it out.
It was definitely a sad moment in my life since we were really close. I mean, we saw each other everyday... and we would talk everyday... and he also helped me to keep in touch with my close friends as well. He was the one that was there with me when I started my first year of uni at Curtin back in 2003... he went on the road trip down south with me to Yallingup and Margaret River – and kept me company during the arduous three hour drive *sian*, he joined me on my adventures in Malaysia twice and even travelled with me to Melbourne and Sydney. As much as I don’t want to let go, I have to move on with the times. =(
Warning: The next few pictures may alarm some viewers, so please brace yourself. I have to post some pictures so I can keep him in ever lasting memory and all the good times we shared together.

Yes, this is Mr Samsung – my good and faithful friend of five years. I’m so sorry you drowned for a few seconds in my roxy bag...and that few seconds led to irreversible damage to your internal system – which has inevitably left you on life support.
His only chance at life is with his life support – the Samsung charger.
The Samsung life support machine.
There he lies so still and peaceful.
It’s time to move on... to Mr Nokia who has replaced Mr Samsung. I hope Mr Nokia will be just as good to me as Mr Samsung was. We went to the beach already – so he better appreciate that! I guess it’s also good to move on... one this Mr Samsung lacked was LOUDSPEAKER... which I really wanted! =) Now I’m a happy chap with loudspeaker!
Actually, to be honest I was away for a week– because I was changing internet providers – AND they left us stranded without internet for two weeks! Isn’t that just preposterous! RIDICULOUS I TELL YOU! How can anyone survive without the net for 2 weeks these days. Geez... so pissed off at them. It’s a long story which I can’t even begin to explain the details – but it’s been a pain in the ass trying to change and deal with the phone company and the internet company, but lucky for me, I have a big sister that dealt with all of that. Phew!

And I still won't have the internet until early April...
