Valorous Visitation of a by-gone Vexation

HOLY COW! This is an abomination! The Starhub internet company took 3 days to restore my internet connection. THREE DAYS! What is wrong with them? I know I failed to pay the bill for 3 months straight (Dad, your the one responsible. I mean how can you "forget" to pay consecutively for 3 months!?) and Starhub has every right to terminate my connection for that. BUT if they can terminate it so quickly and efficiently, I would expect them to be that efficient too in restoring my connection upon receiving my payment but NO! They took three days. Ugh. Never mind, at least they bothered to restore my internet connection. That I give it to them. After all, its a company partly owned by the government. What to expect?

This two internet-less days made me realised something - internet has become a part of my life. It just feels weird without it. Even if I have nothing to do and have absolutely no reason to go online, I will still do so and just browse thru random sites. It has become something like a habit already. But of course, I will not shiver and cringe in agony without it, it hasnt got such a strong hold over me yet and I doubt it ever will. I do know that there are people who can't live a day without checking their e-mails, blogs, friendsters, facebook, neopets account, chatrooms, MSN, mIRC, WOW account, Maple Story account, YouTube, STOMP, porn etc though. These are really hardcore internet addicts. Their addiction is so strong that they have to - correction - DIE DIE must whip out their highly advanced MP3 players or handphones to go online in wireless hotspots in places like Starbucks and McDonalds. Hello people, if you are going out just to surf the net, why don't you save yourself time and money by surfing at home?

Then again, different people see things differently, they might feel its cool to be able to be connected to the net at all times. So be it.

SO, can you live without the internet? Or have your weak soul succumbed to the metal will of the World Wide Web?
