Fried!

I got my new laptop!! :) Super happy la, its a cute little thing. Exploring here and there, trying Vista out, simply click here and there. Played with it almost till midnight the day I received it.
Then the next morning came and naturally, I continued fiddling with my laptop. Not long after meddling with it, I received a call from Gordon to watch Ocean 13 with him in Mid Valley. So without plugging out the phone line from my modem and the cable connecting my laptop to the modem, I shut down my laptop and went off for a movie.
When I came back, its was pouring heavily. Regretting that I didn't pull the plug out, I drove home and hoped for the best..........
And guess what, I managed to fry my 2 days old laptop!! Sigh..... And my modem and my printer.... All FRIED. Sigh...... Sigh...... Enough spoken.

Stress..................

I got my visa refused!! Sigh... Reason? They(British High Commission) don't think my parents have the financial capabilities to support me. :) I guess I only have myself to blame. I told my dad to give me his current bank statement, and that’s all he gave me. Amount unable to disclose. :P So they gave me a thick stack of letters regarding the refusal and told me to make my appeal. Sigh. Mafan! So now I have to go to banks to get other statements and FDs and what not. Well, I guess I ought to be more careful and detailed next time. Lesson No. 1 learnt.
Then the next day, I received a call from American House Insurance Company. They told me I have been offered a free 3 months cover for Accidental Death amounting to RM30,000 because I have purchased GoInSure from Air Asia. During the conversation, I was asked for my IC No. and although I struggled in me whether I should give her, I told her anyway. After putting down the call, unexplainable fears came upon me. Man, what if they use my IC to borrow loans, duplicate my credit card, involve in some crime............. etc....... I was totally freaking out. Seriously troubled. I was calling here and there frantically to ask about this promotion. After being passed from one person to another, I finally got to speak to the person-in-charge. I was given the assurance that it was in the company's practice to pick randomly, customers who purchase GoInSure to provide them with this policy and to call them to enquiry a few personal details. A BIG sigh of relief. I guess I shouldn't simply give my personal details to people whether through the net or phone. Lesson No.2 learnt.
