then I passed the pc for my brother to use….He’s kinda weird and wondered why I’m so BAIK HATI today(usually I never give him turn to online if I hvn’t on9 for at least 3 hours…hehez)…..

later, baru he knew abt the problem…he’s kinda geram either..he couldn’t access to his frenster page and online on MSN either..at the end….he ended up playing DOTA instead

U guys hv the same problem either??

Here’s the explanation……..

Local access to Internet services and websites hosted overseas came to a practical standstill after international links were disrupted by the earthquake that struck southern Taiwan on Tuesday night.

The earthquake damaged submarine cables that form part of the region-wide Asia Pacific Cable Network 2 (APCN 2), disrupting voice and Internet communications over much of Asia.

APCN 2 is a 19,000km-long fibre-optic cable network linking Japan, South Korea, China, Malaysia, Singapore, the United States, Europe and Australia.

The network has been up since October 2002 and is jointly operated by 26 Asian telecommunications carriers, including TM Bhd.

The damaged links are between Shantou (China) and Tanshui (Taiwan), and, Lantau (Hong Kong) and Chongming (China).

Internet service provider (ISP) Jaring said the disruption started at 3.45am yesterday, and warned users to expect congestion to and from overseas websites during peak hours.

TM Net said in a statement the disruption caused outages to several of its international transit and peering links.

So…..tat’s the reason….unexpectable huh??

For me….no internet for a day(when I’m at home) can make me BORED to DEATH…..now, only I realised tat how I’ve been addicted to the world of Internet…..(reminds me of the Chinese essay which won me the High Distinction prize in an National Chinese Essay Competition, entitiled…."The Influences of Internet towards The Younger Generation of today")…..

One day at home without Internet is really DREADFUL and TORTURING for me!!…I really felt like I can’t do anything without Internet..(hoho..tat’s BAD!!)…..A lot of times, I oso ended up arguing wif my mom and brothers just b’cos the Internet(I still remember the last time was on Christmas Eve’s night….so bad la me…hehez)…

I wonder how many ppl gt the same problem as me?esp teens….See how the Internet has controlled our life and mind…..

oops….Sounds like I deviate frm the topic ady….

ok, I shall stop crapping here….hopefully the Internet addicted ppl out there enjoy reading this post….^^
