o2 ? pah !! bring it on !

anyways, in preparation for my mom's arrival tomorrow, had to go get stuffs ready in part of which was to get a new sim card.
so i went to o2, i asked if they could unlock my k800i for me.
this REALLY obnoxious guy said no. u gotta take it to the shops.
then when i asked for a new sim card, i was borderlined on about to throw a fit.. ( which wasn't very nice of me.. which i didn't)
anyways, long story short, i didn't managed to get my sony ericssons ke800i mobile unlocked.
but i managed to spend 20£ for a new sim card. with a tenner credit and another 10 on my current number.
and then i knew the shops outside can unlock my simlocked phone for me.. BUT i really don't wanna pay money for something i can do. or think i can do.
rather thought i could do. ( it took me 4 hours. T_T)
i bricked my phone a few times.. it couldn't start up.
but following the guide from a blogspot thing..
i managed to rebrand my phone from an o2 phone startup to an ORANGE phone. while still running on o2. and it still was locked..
so that means that tutorial was not quite right.
so far i seeked the source of the tool.
found it !
the tool mentioned a few more steps that was missing from the tutorial.
T_T.
anyways, long story short. i managed to unlock my phone. yay !!
if i calculated the time i spent on trying to unlock my phone compared with the amount of money i would have earned during that 4 hours..
i guess my earnings would be about £2.50 and hour depending on how much a charge for unlocking a phone is.. the whole process only took like 20 mins.
geez... i should have found the right source b4 i did anything.
and o2, u can't bloody blame me for unlocking my phone.. ur customer svc advisor said u wouldn't do it. ! so there :P
incidentally. his name is H*m**d. now how many of them are there in the world that have the same name. ?

okok done. time to go to get some groceries.
remove the sim lock link here


EDIT: some notes i got from the net.. forgot where i found it..

just got mine unlocked by orange, aparently you have to switch off the phone, remove sim, turn back on without sim, message 'insert sim card will show, press joystick left, star(*) key twice and joystick left again, network will appear, press select and insert a code, can't give you mine, wouldn't work as it only works with my imei, don't know if this is any help


Most Sony Ericsson phones have a special combination of button pushes to get to the service menu screen. You will need to press
"Right * Left Left * Left *" to get into the service menu. Next click on
service info and then Software information.

got my japanese visa.

1 year multiple entries. each entry 90 days. nice ! anyways, i think i did mention that japanese efficiency was also seen in the embassy ???!!?? alright, please scratch that. the time i went was early in the morning and i was one of the first person there so service was fast. i found the service to be comparable to other embassies where they are not really that quick.. well.. can't blame them just that it was my bad luck that my visa wasn't printed. 1. i went in the morning at 10 at stated on the paper. 2. she tried to find it.. couldn't find my passport. and then she said it's not ready yet.. please come back in the afternoon. T_T. (i shouldn't have woken up so early) 3. i went back to the embassy after lunch. took warren st to green park. it was stated severe delays but when i went on it.. it was quite quick. 4. i was the second in line to collect visa. not ready.. T_T.... he said.. 5 mins.. they are gonna print it now... 5. i waited.... 5 mins.... 10 mins.... 15 ...

my boring weekend

i went to camden on sat and almost got rammed by a stupid green car on the way back. anyways, i was bored. and it was a nice day. don't know anything bout tour de france, or wimbledon. took my bike out. and cycled down towards camden. it was a change from cycling to work. i spent £7 in sainsburys cos they were having a half price sale on john west's tuna in cans. the usual price is about £3.19. bought some stuffs.. ( coulnd't buy a lot cos i don't wanna ride home on a punctured bike) but i bought too many as well. i bought jaffa biscuit for 69p. for 24 pieces. finished it b4 sat was over. took some photos on the way. went into o2 to see if i could get any nice phones for free. turned out that i couldn't because i havent paid any phone bills since last year. looks like i'm gonna hvae to switch my sim card to a pay as you go thingy. then i went to the outdoor emporium to take a look at the karrimor travelpack. i dunno why .. that one seems to call out to me other...

rain rain rain ...

i went to thomas global exchange on sunday. there was a long queue just to change money. so indeed my recommendation of the place was correct. it was in a quiet place. but it looked alright. there were lotsa ppl. and ppl who were walking past were very intrigue by this long line in front of a money changer. that's about it. i still need to change a little bit more. so i'll wait for my next round b4 i go there again. it was pissing rain outside. i thought i'd have to wait till it settled down. but as it is with london's rain, it just is not like the torrential downpour back in msia. lighting and thunder. yippee.. i used to hide whenever i hear thunder and see the lightning. and then i grew out of being scared of it. now i'm scared of a different kind of thing. that aside, nothing else is special. i brought food to work today. from the baguette i bought from somerfield on sunday. it was 62p for 4 wholemeal ones. i stuffed it with corned beef i bought from sainsbury. a...
