New York Underground Steam Pipe Blast

My friend, Paul, who works in New York City, got me so worried. Well, he usually logs onto his AIM on the phone but yesterday, after the underground steam pipe blast, he was no where to be seen online.

Urgh that isn't a good sign!!!

Since my computer was switched off, I also logged into my AIM on my phone but the 3G signal here was so lousy, can you believe that I am paying MYR99 per month for an on-off service? It is incredible that my signal could drop so much until there is no signal at all, if you know what I am saying. I have complained but who asked me to be in areas that has weak signal strength, including my home?

Anyway, he was offline for so long. I also didn't want to run up my phone bill by sending him an SMS. It's 50sen each you know? And once we start SMS-ing, aiyoh, twenty SMS messages also cannot stop chatting! Ughh better not. Things aren't looking that financially rosy over here, you know?

But after some long hours, he finally appeared online and I managed to catch up with him. Apparently, he was on the other side of town. Luckily for him! Aghh.. I remember the time when NYC experienced total black out for hours and I could not reach him because he was stranded and his cell phone ran out of battery. This is what people have to put up with if they want to earn a decent living on greener pasture. He always tells me, if I want to jump plane, be prepared to be lonely! So sad lah!
