Hightech

A few days ago, this old toy was passed down to me. "get familiar with it dS!"

GPS III+


Like rusa masuk kampung, I stared at this thinggymajig for a few seconds. *poke poke* Ok, so it doesn't bite. *press press* Acquiring satelites? Damn! Had to lepak at the balcony to receive GPS signal.

*Two hours later*

dColl : dS, lets roll.

dS : where to?

dColl : N03°00.874' E101°21.955'

dS : #@$@%#&^&%#% i know u got google earth, dun lcly ok.

dColl : heh! port klang la.

*One hour later*

dColl : ok, i'll hold the antenna here. u go to the other building, get your antenna aligned to this 1. i'll check the signal strength here.

dS : 1 sec, let me take my bearings here. dude, i think u have to climb up there. *points to tip of roof* line of sight too obscure here.

dColl : try here first lur. deng!

dS : woteva that turns u on. laterz.

*9.54km later*

dS : ok, whats the signal strength?

dColl : not getting any. are u sure u aligned urself to me?

dS : well, the GPS shows that i am. not sure which building are u though. too many.

dColl : wait, i'll walk around with the antenna. anything? (this went on for about 2 hours under a bloody hot sun)

dS : nope. go higher man, i'm sure my direction is correct.

dColl : sure ah? wats the distance between us?

dS : 9.54km. the antenna's spec is 16km within line of sight right?

dColl : yup. no reason we cant c each other. sure u on the right wing?

dS : dudeeeeee... GPSIII+ cant be wrong.

dColl : dang it, i need confirmation. waits. ok, can u c me?

dS : u think u wearing reflective panties ah? err wait, wats that? is that u? are u playing around with a mirror?

dColl : yeah, so how? correct direction? know which building now?

dS : yup, its aiming straight at u. biatch, u r on the furthest building man.

dColl : wait wait, i'm getting signal from you. no wonder, signal strength quite low, no wonder no ping reply. below 700 oni. cheh! ok, lets go. abort mission.

dS : #$@#%^#$%& get GPS unit, ended up having to use mirror to confirm. buang karen wei.
