The Blind Leading The Blind

Don't you just love it when you get blamed for every single thing that occurs? When every question that i don't know the answer to, makes me stupid and useless.

Having my mother talk shit about me to her friends because i don't know what her Apple ID or password is. This is unbelievable. I have NO CLUE about Apple products, especially if everything is in Chinese. I am basically being asked to be an expert at something completely foreign to me.

What really went down (mind you, everything is written in Chinese):

  1. I don't know how it got to this, but the iPad can not be functioned if you don't enter your Apple ID.
  2. I've tried multiple combinations and all to the point where the account got suspended.
  3. I tried to reset the password by going to the Apple website via my laptop.
  4. Turns out the email my mum signed up with does not exist (it probably got deleted by bots after not using it for so long).
  5. BUT the only way you can sign in is with the original email you signed up with, which again, does not exist......
  6. SO, the only option now is to wipe the iPad clean and start fresh.
  7. BUT my mum does not want to do that.
I got my mum to translate the messages to me; that's how i know what's the go since i don't speak or read Mandarine. 

You know what the cherry on top is, though?
When your blood mother badmouths you because you are not able to fix the mistakes that SHE made. Because no matter how hard i try to do something for her, she ignores my efforts and jumps to the final outtake. Not being able to get her iPad to work and telling her that i have no idea of how to fix it means that i am not WILLING to help her.

The part that hurts most is when she blames ME. 
It is MY fault that the iPad is not working.
It is MY fault because i am not willing to help fix it.
It is MY fault that i am useless.
It is MY fault that all her other friends have helpful children who know how to master the 'iPad'.
It is MY fault. EVERYTHING is my fault.

It is also my fault that there is global warming. But no, really, getting blamed for something you got dragged into is not fun.

I honestly tried, i have. I brought the iPad to the Apple store today, and they advised me to call Apple Care because the wait would be 3 hours long. Ultimately, the device will have to be wiped and restarted as a fresh one, but my mum doesn't want to lose her photographs. 

This is a tough situation, guys.
May Buddha be with me during this difficult time.

Jeanny.

Vivid Sydney - Darling Harbour

Almost a year later and I'm finally going to start blogging. I guess it is only considered a fail if I were to never return? Regardless, this blog post will be dedicated to the 2 hours that I spent at Vivid Sydney Darling Harbour. There wasn't a whole heap of installations, but we had fun watching the Water Show 'Magicians of the Mist', Huawei's light installation, and The Fred Hollow's Foundation 'The Gift of Sight'. My friend and I visited on a Tuesday night, so there wasn't much of a crowd. This means it was perfect for filming! The Huawei installation was pretty cool. They had giant beams connected to lights shooting up into the air, moving about creating forms of patterns up above. Each beam had a button to press which controls the colours of the light, my friend also suggested that it was a secret Government button used to scan our fingerprints.... That could be a possibility as well! There was a photo booth taking bad angled pictu...

I Died, I Conquered.

Lying in your death bed, coughing away as you feel as though your lungs are about to collapse on you is not fun. But luckily for me, i only have to experience such a near death sickness only once every couple of years. The flu is such a pain when you have 3 days of uni, 3 days of work, and 7 days of studying. This was only a fortnight ago when i couldn't even stand up to eat so that i could take my medication. I mean, wait, what medication? Everything we had at home was Panamax. I couldn't drive myself to the doctors because i couldn't even stand up without feeling light headed, so on Monday night, i took it as the evening i almost didn't see the light. On Tuesday, i was feeling slightly better thanks to the Panamax my dad urged me to take. That didn't, however, stop me from feeling like complete crap. Light headed was the day before, now came a headache and snoozing, slowly followed by the running nose. Where did my nose want to run to? I have no idea, but it jus...

Diamonds Are Formed Under Pressure

I am too busy to be sick, too much of a hustler to stop for a break. But right now, i can't wait for this semester to be over so that i can take a little vacation. Go to the movies, go to see Vivid, go and eat good food with good company. Okay fine, I'm found guilty - i always go out. But at least once uni is all over and done, i get to do those things without the guilt. There is just one more assignment to be done before exams begin. Actually, it's due today and i haven't started. Eeeeek, 50%? I should probably start planning for it soon. We have to create a 3 - 5 minute video on 'creativity'. This is my specialty isn't it? Videos? Did someone say Youtube? I have a theme in mind so I'm actually waiting for my dad to begin his cooking process for dinner, he'll be the star of the show today. Daddy Hen, doing his thing. Feeding me since 1992! If all goes well, i will consider uploading the video onto my personal channel. And if that video goes wel...
