OF LAPTOP SKIN AND FRIENDS
So, I finally got back my laptop skin from Nana. It was bought by Erli and Dalila back in previous semester at Lowyat. Yeah, it took months for my laptop to have a new and perfect skin. Thanks nana, and your roomate too for helping me to cut the laptop skin according to the exact size, 14".
Why not me the one who cut it?? Well, I am gutless person. I can not bear the consequences if I ever let myself to be alone with the skin and a scissor. That skin will never get the chance to protect my ugly dark-blue Inspiron 1420 and instead, end up in my pink dustbin.
So, when I had the skin this evening, I told myself that I'll let Mira or Erli to paste the skin to my laptop. They are neat, and good at these kind of things. I once asked Dalila to do so, but she claimed that it was her room mate, Nisaa that helped her to paste hers. So, she refused. When I asked whether or not Nisaa could help me this time, she told me to tell Nisaa myself first. Haiya, leceh la. Never mind la,I'll just wait Mira or Erli tonight.
It was 6:45 pm and I was sitting on the sejadah absolutely doing nothing when my eyes caught the blue-white notebook skin on the table, untouched. I took it and thought.
'Why should I ask someone else to do it for me?'
'Why couldn't I do it at the first place?'
'Why couldn't I do it at the first place?'
One thing leads to another.
So I asked myself, what if there's no one there to help me? Should I just sit and wait for anyone else to do?
Now that I realized for all these time, I had been relying too much on my friends. Mira, Erli, Wawa and even Aziah also. Previous semesters, It's always been them whom alert me with most of the things. Aziah, Wawa and Erli with homework, notes to be photocopied, assignment to be submitted(since Mira and me were quite same). Not to mention the soft copy of notes that lecturers always asked us to take at the end of the class. In the room, sometimes Mira helped a lot. And the scooter's key, Erli and Mira always reminded me almost every time i got off from my red Ego. Dalila also who's always been the planner of every semester's schedule. Yeah, I never did give a damn of the schedule and the sections. All these while, I've been following them. It's always been them.
Starting this semester(insyAllah), there will be no 'them'. I have to do it alone. Yes, together with me will be Dalilah but things are not gonna be the same anymore. After this, if I ever needed any help, when I turned back, they will not be there anymore. I know that we share the same buildings but trust me, it's gonna be different this time.
Not that i regret the fact that I choose this path, and I am gonna be alone. NO. It's not that. That matter, i can handle pretty well. It's just, I depended on them too much. I am sure they hate my guts(haha~), but I really LOVE them..
Okay, back to reality with me and my laptop skin. I did everything according to the step given at the back of the cover.
1. Clean and wipe the surface dry with a piece of cloth.
Where the hell should i grab that cloth..aha,my t shirt. Don't worry. it's a new tshirt okay.
Measure and cut the laptop skin accordingly to fit your laptop.
Done!(even though it wasn't me doing that)
2. Peel one corner of backing off stickers and cut it.
Okay, I am nerv-(high-pitched)-ous. I peeled and then realized, i don't have any scisors. Aha, I tear it off with my bare hand (tak agak2 pon, maen koyak je)
3.Placed the exposed corner on the cover. Slowly paste the laptop skin on the laptop cover.
I stopped, I'm lost. It's okay, proceed bravefully. I pasted and once again I realized I did it upside down.(terbalik ghupe nye). I peel it off and try again.
4. Peel off other backing sticker, slowly and run your finger through to eliminate air bubbles.
Shuutt!! To many bubbles. Take the skin off again and paste it. Same jeh.. Peel, and run finger. Okay, bubbles' decreasing. Again,peel it off a bit and run 5 fingers thoroughly..and yeah.. Two bubbles left but I stopped. Stupid stubborn bubbles. I swear that you will live the rest of your lives trapped between my laptop and her skin.. huahuahua(evil laugh~)
Then, tadaa.....
Presenting my Dell with her new skin!!!
Still couldn't figure out how to do the edge part of the laptop.. Ah, never mind. I'll ask Mira or erli later on.
