Stories :: from everyday life

I dont know MJ. But I watched his record breaking music videos when I was 9. I watched 'Thriller' and 'Moonwalker', I enjoyed listening to some of his songs although I do not own a single one of his album. He is an actor, singer, performer, King of pop! Whatever the tabloids say he did in his personal life is none of your business. So keep your critics to yourself. He is dead. Give the man a break! Remember HIS time.

 

Remember Norma Jean? 'even when you died... oh the press still hounded you, all the papers has to say, was that Marilyn was found in the nude...' Sir Elton John.

 

So I fished out 2450 Rmb for a brand new GATEWAY netbook. My new toy, a good buy.

To my dismay, the store that sold me the netbook installed a pirated version of XP and

an unknown virus! I brought it back and demanded for a brand new, unboxed set.

The salesman said to me, 'I hope you dont come back any more..' rudely. He gave me

a brand new set... without the XP operation system. He said, 'we only have the pirated

version, in China, computers are not sold with the OS.' WHATEVER!!!

 

I proceeded to a software store below and bought a licensed Windows XP. I had to fork

out another 999Rmb for it. When I got home, I realised, this so called legitimate copy

of XP is actually 'to be distributed with a brand new computer..' that's what's written on

the label found on the inside.

 

 

What can I say? Vomit blood. Don't buy anything from Metro City, Shanghai.

 

Every road leads to a new adventure. If you think you've made a wrong choice, you can always choose again tomorrow.
