Good help is hard to find...

... but i think i may have just found the help i need. =)

First of all, thank you all for your support by not throwing shoes at me for being a hyper fan of Adam Lambert. In the words of Showeii, "i cant stop lamberting!"... He is just the man lah, so to speak. But its time to shake of the Adam magic and move onto some good news.

Anyone saw stars and went @_@ ?? LOLx

Okay, okay, enough Adam Lambert. =D

Don't you find that good help is so difficult to come by these days? Sometimes, they never do? And when you find yourself in a sticky situation, you hear yourself repeating the popular line usd by villains when things dont go their way, "If you want to get things done, DO IT YOURSELF!"?

Well, its not all true you know. A few days ago, i was at Low Yat, trying to get my friend's DELL laptop fixed. It had the blue scren problem and has been out of use for the past few weeks. All that time, it sat in my room, while i was looking for some good help to fix it. Good help is hard to find.

When it comes to PC related stuff, you need to have a 'contact', someone you know personally, or someone introduced to you by a close friend. Either that, or you can go to Low Yat and get ripped off. At your best, avoid Pakistan shops, they slaughter very well.

You need to know SOMEONE. So, I went back to my roommate's uncle. He was busy and couldn't meet me. But it turns out, he knew a friend, Mr. Lim, who was very kind to invote me over to his office in Maluri and had a look at the Dell. "Trouble solved", i thought.

Mr. Lim could not repair it because he did not have spare parts. Turn out, he knows some people, Wiliam and Ah Han, from PC 3 (Lvl 4) in Low Yat, who could help me. Now i KNOW how to look for in Low Yat, rather than like previous times, wander aimlessly and eventually settling for the shop which had people who 'looked decent and well'. (YEa, like THAT works in a place like Low Yat... @_@)

Went there, found Ah Han, but was utterly disappointed. Not only was he unable to help me; he sorta refused to help me. Apparently, his shop doesn't do back up and all the thing i needed help with. There i was in Low Yat, wandering aimlessly, looking for the shop with 'decent and well looking' people. Back to square one.

Then i remembered about a shop where my friend used to work at, but no longer now - Prestige IT, Level 3. I gave it a shot. I threw his name to the people there to show i actually knew someone. LOL. The results were amazing. Suddenly we were like friends with 10 years of friendship. =P

Oscar Access (J in light cyan) and Prestige IT

Met this new guy, Pi, short for Fridaus. Told him my problem that needed fixing (this is like the 7th time i repeated the same thing. T_T) and he offered some very good input. He even recommended me to the shop next door, his partner in crime, to fix the pc. Very high recommendation sumore.

I had nothing to lose. Next door, was a simple shop -- Oscar Access-- which looks abit like shop which sold 2nd hand PCs, etc. But, appearance can be deceiving, no? And it turns out, that its true when they say that 1st impressions are often wrong. Pi's friend, named J (i just dont get people with peculiar nicknames.. LOL) greeted me and i repeated my predicament again, in full passion, for the eight time. XD

He spoke in a monotonous tone and hardly has eye contact with you -- he was staring staright at somewhere, but not at me. He seemed like he didnt care, very chin chai liddat. But he was calm, and kind too. It took me awhile to realize that it was his personality. And as soon as i saw past that, i felt like ive met a person with a golden heart.

There was a feeling of security and trust in every word he said. I have never felt so relax and safe (as the feeling of not thinking that you MIGHT be ripped off) in Low Yat. Almost every one there had something to gain when they sell you their stuffs. But not him.

He didnt seem very concerned about monetary gains. How do i know this? He offered me CHOICES to which i could solve my problem -- most of which (to my surprise) didnt quite bend towards his favor, but he offered them anyway. He suggested me to buy a HDD from next door and he'll fix it for me -- FOC, among other things.

On the day of collection, he sat me through and explained step by step how to move on from there. I am amazed at his sincerity and kindness. I cant say the same if others would also get the same treatment i have, but he is a nice guy.

NO regrets, definitely highly recommended for anyone who has to get their computer fixed. Viruses. Backup data. Reformatting. Go see for yourself.
