HELLO!

Hello WORLD!!

Yes, am back from my month long (more or less) hiatus from the bloggersphere. With simple reason that I have had absolutely NOTHING note worthy to write about.

This would also be excluding that las entry where I was lambasting Nokia. Trust me you would be from what I have described from the correspondence, which was a milder take on what I would have written if my cerebral censorship wasn’t intact. There was a couple more correspondence that would end somewhat coming from a scene from a Indian movie; like a neverending merry go round around a tree. I’d save my breath, patience is a virtue.

As it would be of me writing at the dead of night or at the birth of the day, I am havinf trouble sleeping again, which is kinda strange as I did swim quite abit today, which was to dilute the guilt which engulfed me after I polished off 3 plates of chicken rice, which I had not much regret until I could felt it churning while I was pulling of the laps. One of the “few” gastronomic vices which I enjoy…..

Still job hunting as you would know, not that I am tht eager but for the fact that I am getting rather restless at hom during the day and at times I wonder whether my brain is degenerating into a grey mush, which I think parts of it hhave become.

Nonetheless! I shall persevere. “AHEM”. Well, I’kk stand by one of my few mantras that good things comes to those who wait, though it is rather depressing to look at the job sites and find nothing to which would e suitable. I have been volunteered to volunteer to do something with the St Andrew’s Mission Hospital, something that may seem promising and I hope it leads to other avenues as well.

I have been hearing this time and time again to “chill, don’t rush into getting a job, you’ve got the rest of your life to work”. Maybe that’s my safety net of not really looking?

Sigh it may seem so long ago, but I was still a uni student 2 months ago, fond memories but I it’s transitional period for me now, so live life as it is. Have been at the start of some ‘garage’ ventures, and have been incubating some in my noggin, so I hope it bares fruit.

It’s rather strange, somewhat curious to know what some people that don’t know you at all, would say just by observing you and your peers over a short period of time. I mean, what would their intentions be/ Mindtrick? The Truth? Genuine Concern?

HAH! Yea right… up YOURS! I’m not an easy book to read if I want, so save your breath, concern and word of wisdom, you can’t see me numbnuts.

And how did this come about? In a club if you’d believe. And why me? There’s always a rat (or a monkey if that’s your preference), a big dumb, drunk one at that. Politics of dancing indeed.

Disgruntled

When you're pissed, peeved and feel that nothing is done.. shame 'em ... though my letter was written in a more pleasant and milder tone, believe I was seething.......

[Feedback:To whom it may concern
I’m writing in to lodge my displeasure of the lack of service and courtesy with some of your service staff, as well as lack of service at your Nokia Care service center at Wheelock Place.
The encounter that I experienced happened in midday Wednesday, 16th August. I first went to the service center at around lunchtime and as expected, there would be a long queue. But it doesn’t make sense to me as to why from the 10 or so counters open for servicing of phones, there would be only 2 or 3 counters only opened, with afew of your service staff idling away, just standing around.
This continued again when I later came back at around 3 in the afternoon, yet again the ueue was long. Seeing that I was already there I had to wait, which I did for the next hour or so. When your counter was servicing my phone, the staff member told me to wait awhile as she went into the backroom, reasons not known.
I waited for another 45 minutes of so.At this point in time I was seriously not pleased with this lack of service. I enquired at main encounter as to what is going on, and the reply I received sort of implied that it was non of their concern and that of the staff who serviced me.
The reason for reservicing my phone was that the parts of the keypad for my 6260 had become insensitive. this has not been the first time that I have encountered this problem with my phone as I have serviced it a few times already in the past, with the same problem. The last time just being a week or so ago. And today I just received a call from your service center, saying that they would have to replace some parts, which would mean that my data would be wiped out, yet another inconvenience as well as my contacts, I have some software that I would need to re[urchase and reinstall again, so as to efficiently use my phone as I am visually handicap.
It makes me wonder whats the point of servicing my phone if it always comes back to the same problem, as well as the build quality of your products these days.
I have been a keen user of your products for a longtime now, due to it’s ease of use and familiarity. But it’s situations like these that make me reconsider this seriously.

Yours Sincerely
Ian Da Luz Campos
