Its been 24 days since I got my Nintendo Wii(Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!), and I only got it to work only three days ago. And boy did I not mention that I got played out 2 weeks in a row before finally getting my Wii. I did mention in my Jack of all trades entry that I would be getting my Wii on Good Friday. And that's 10th April.

2 trips with a bag load of anticipation, excitement, thrill and sheer joy only to meet with cock-ups leaving me destitute. All the time, effort & transport money wasted. When I finally was able to get hold of the Wii, The only game available was the Wii Sports that came along with the set. Just to let you know, I'm going full original for my Wii(ANTI-PIRACY). So I had to settle for some pirated stand-ins (Touched none of them. By now it's returned), and a second-hand Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Apparently, my friend's business associate is doing a really bad job on tying down with suppliers and the whatnots. Thus playing me out 2 weeks in a row, and the missing games thereafter. He justified that with their supplier not having any stock. Think that's the end? Read on.

So happy as a lark and drooling like a little kid just by having the Wii, I couldn't wait to set it up. To my dismay, when I clicked the power switch on, eyes glittering with uncontainable anticipation and natural smiling to myself, I heard a 'POP' throwing my whole house into a power trip. GREAT.

So I rang up mathews(Again for the umpteenth time) to describe my situation. When returning my call after he spoke to his associate, he quoted, "Sorry Sorry, a special adapter is needed to make it work, forgot to pass it to you." What a great business person/partner. There's more.

So I had to wait another week, for mathews(What a weird name? Single 't' and its plural) to pass me the adapter in camp. So the following weekend I tried to start it up, guess what... well it worked. I was actually surprised for such a norm. By now, all enthusiasm and anticipation has been punctured with series of disappointments. But, the controllers aren't really working, Fixed in the batteries, spammed the 'sync' buttton but nothing just seem to work. Nevermind, let's read our 'trusty ol-manual'... WHAT THE HECK is this language!

It's in Chinese traditional characters. The point here is not that I can still read Chinese or my Chinese is weak. the point here is I ordered a US version of the Nintendo Wii. They justified that US sets cannot be modified, and these are the only kind of sets they carry. They better thank our ever-loving Creator I'm acquainted with mathews and I'm quick to forgive. I managed to fix the controller synchronisation much later(3 days ago) with Google. Only thought of Google 3 days ago, how dumb of me.


Nice and snug in the corner of my room!


Tadaa~ And white is undoubtedly my favourite colour!

Now, I'm just waiting for my games to come in. Still... Well, this Sunday my Wii will make her(his?) maiden voyage to Shawn's 21th birthday chalet! I'm sure fun will ensue from this trip.
