19 Dec 2007 screwed up internet

Gosh, I don’t know what’s wrong with Starhub MaxOnline Service, but it seems to me that their DNS (Domain Name Service) Server is getting a little weird today. It can’t load my domain properly, and some of my friend’s sites as well…

I thought there was a problem with my web hosting company, but nope, a quick check with nslookup revealed that there was no such domain registered.

How did I manage to blog here then? Thanks to NTU VPN. I tunnelled into the school network just to blog. Tsk.

Loading of other sites is quite slow today. Wonders why.

Could it be that the servers demand a holiday break too?!

19 Dec 2007 kudos and boos.

Came back from my shopping trip at Orchard.

Had a great time with Hendri, and we managed to get presents for exchange on Friday with the Pingsters. Hee :)

Kudos to the salesgirl (forgot her name, silly me) who went the extra mile to get the top that I wanted, which they did not have the stock at the branch I was in. I was at the Wisma Atria branch, and tried on a top that I liked… But alas, they did not have it in the correct size or colour that I wanted.

Was about to say it’s ok, and feeling somewhat disappointed… Then, she said, she could check for me with the takashimaya branch, to see if they still have the stock. Hurray! She then told me to wait for about 7 to 10 mins, and went to get it over for me. I tried, I liked, and I bought it. This really made my day! Despite them being busy helping other customers with their needs… :)

At the same time, I was quite pissed with the way SBS scheduled express service 518. I waited for a good 20 mins, and realized no bus in sight, although there is suppose to have one arriving as stated in the board at the bus stop. I is pissed off. *#&$@*&#&(@#&@*(

Time to sleep, another day of shopping tomorrow…
