Plain black luck or got cursed ?

The weekend started out dandy. Was hanging out until wee hours in the morning (5.00am)on the last day of the week before sleeping. However manage to get up around 9.00am and make it to breakfast with jelly. She belanja by the way. Bought myself a pot of plant....its called "moon tin seng" or loosely translated as night full of stars. Its has nice little little flowers all over it. Now piggy couldn't be happier with the progress of Saturday when it just sneaks up on you and everything just go downhill. Maybe some one say its minor incoveniences, after a series of good luck... but what good luck? piggy didn't hit any lottery wo, nor did piggy stumble upon RM50.00 on the road...hm....why why.... let me tell you and you tell me is it pure black luck, coincidence or conspiracy....
a. brake light went off YES, the third light went off. I just got the car and my sister sweared that she had everything checked. Still piggy uttered some prayers and poke at the brake light in hope its just loose wiring.**poke**
Bad news, still no flash.....maybe didn't pray hard enough. Change to kneeling position at the back seat, pray some more, in 3 languages, there goes **~~poke~~~ poke~~**
Ok stil no flash.... panicky feeling start to crawl from the bottom of piggy's heart. Usually piggy heard car repair quite expensive. What if they skin piggy? oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.....how ler how ler.....

b. Mouse died
After worrying of the brake light and how to repair it, piggy end up with a restless night. Sunday morning looked bleak indeed. Got up to turn on the PC to cheer piggy -self up. On button, heard the hard drive booting up, suddenly beep beep, 'unable to detect mouse', 'unable to detect mouse'...Piggy goes WTF?
--First thought was, did the rat bite the cable? Quick check....everything looks ok.
--Connection loose? nope....Piggy's pc is old pc, The connection is the one with lots of holes and needles and need to be screwed in.

Maybe can trying praying and poking again but come to think of it, it didnt work with the brake light. So on with plan B. Curse the Pc and poke the mouse . #()#$*% ~~poke~~**
Reboot PC, still not detected, Hm.............ok curse and hit it on floor a couple of times. @#()#$*%^ **slam~~** bam~~** wham~~** poke~poke~~**
still cannot detect. Obviously plan B failed.....how ah? but unlike brake light, mouse still can save.
Got piggy's housemate up and teman piggy to Low Yat for mouse shopping...more bad news to come. Most of the shop dont sell old mouses anymore.... WTF II...? But luckily met some friends who pointed out a shop that still sells old mouses.... yeah RITE.....~ at least something is going rite....yeah yeah....spirits are lifting...maybe can go get new earphones... the ones piggy have is oledi 1 deaf, the other PMS ( only got sound at certain positions ~~ soon will have to learn yoga to enable piggy to listen to the remaining speaker)

3. Brand new clock kaput.
Went home happily with new earphones and nite's birthday present ( at last got her something). Clean out a space for piggy's brand new Christmas present clock. That clock has given piggy some trouble and seriously thinking of just packing the whole thing up and throw it away....but ...but...but it was a gift. Ok lar, just hang it some where. After emptying out a space, piggy install new batteries but......hey how come its not moving? ok maybe 1st battery out of order. Try second one, still not moving. Try 3rd one, try 4th one, try 5th one...........ok thats all the battery supply that piggy has ( piggy is suprise she has that many batteries)...NOT so jinx kua? OK, borrow next door's battery......housemate willing to borrow her duracell alkaline AAA battery after piggy explain situation. She even puts in the battery herself. 2 pairs of eyes, glued to the clock hand while the piggy held her breath.....1....2.....3..... ARGH....still not working. Piggy housemate certified clock dead at 2031 hours.....nothing to do but to give it a proper burial.

All in all, 3 stuff going kaput in a weekend is quite a lot for piggy to swallow. There is a story about the earphones too but piggy too depressed to continue anymore........piggy will just sit on bed and count the hairs that falling off rapidly due to the stressed created. Maybe should go buy wig.
