(ANNOUNCER’S/HOST’S VOICE)

Hello and good day to you, for those of you at home who just join us, let me introduced myself; I’m Greg Deegy Broadbent, and you are tuning in to ‘MODEM SURVIVOR’, meet our chosen contestant, he hails from Kuching, Sarawak, his name is Norman, he is unconvinced that DiGi is the better service provider,
(Audience: OOooh)
(Continues)
Yes, yes…but not only is DiGi the better service provider but also provides fast efficiency for your internet surfing needs. Norman, tell us about yourself, please.

Norman: Well, I have a very interesting job, I…
Greg Deegy:
Right, thanks for the info Norm, now moving on, we here at MODEM SURVIVOR will not in any way or anyhow will be responsible for the actions and the consequences that may lead to any form of injuries or death of the contestant or would be liable for any legal action that would or could be given to the show itself, in short, Norman, enter at your own risk.
Norman:
Did you just say death?
Greg:
Don’t worry, I won’t feel a thing.
Norman:
But…
Greg:
If you win, aside from the DiGi Broadband, you could get a Macbook or HP Mini laptop.
Norman:
I’M IN!
Greg:
Good, now the rules of the game is like this, you would be placed on undisclosed remote island away from civilization, just like how you are now, just less sad.
Norman:
Heey!
Greg:
As I was saying, before I was rudely interrupted by Mr. Norman here…
(Glares at Norman)
You will be placed on a remote island, with a bland branded modem with a less than desirable Internet service provider for 5 days and if you don’t starve to death or deteriorate into thin air by the lack of any form of interaction by the end of your punishment, I meant stay. You will be given an interview on your thoughts on DiGi’s Broadband and if you’re lucky, you’ll get a laptop and modem in the process.
Norman:
Wait, what? Did you say starve to death? Ahn…and I haven’t even tested DiGi yet, how would I know?
(Greg flips out his laptop and showed him 24 simultaneous downloads of movies on high speed with more than 100 plus Kbps per download he bought from iTunes)
Greg:
You happy?
Norman:
Disturbingly yes.
Greg:
Then on with the show, see you later Norman. Grab your laptop, you will need it.
(Dramatic Intro music for sound effect)

Day 1
I’m pretty stoked, I just received the newest Brand X modem, I opened the unadorned packaging, lo and behold the Brand X broadband, in the box it includes from what experts told me, miles upon miles of wiring, an adapter that doesn’t seem to fit into the electrical socket, a manual that seems to be written in a lost ancient language or written by some poor Asian smuck who barely understands what “hello” means and a rope, still don’t know what the rope is for but maybe it’s for me to build my hammock?
3 hours later

Finally gotten the modem set up to my laptop, the configuration is disturbingly hard, a pop up screen keep telling me to give up my soul and my bank account to brand X. It’s a hard decision so I decided to reboot my computer. In which, upon loading the boot screen, I was hit with the “blue screen of death”.

2 hours later
Okay, finally after reformatting my laptop and having an arduous time calling Microsoft to activate my activation key, I’m ready for some internet surfing; songs downloading, Facebook updating fun time.
7 hours later
I’ve been keeping myself busy while waiting for Google to finish loading. My stomach is rumbling, it’s been 12 hours since my last meal and the last thing I ate was the stale peanuts on the flight over to this ‘’undisclosed’’ island. Hmm, I feel so alone right now, was that a coyote I hear?

Day 2
It’s been more than 24 hours since I last check my email, owh no, my Facebook notifications. Would anyone realize that I’m gone? I feel the Internet Withdrawal syndrome building up. I haven’t even emailed my mom, I promised her I would email her my progression and now she’s going to think I have abandoned her. I need some form of communication; I turned on Microsoft Speech program and listened to Microsoft Sam vocalizing robotically whatever I type on the speech box.
My stomach is rumbling even worse than last night and the rock I slept on was not helping me curb my hunger. I salvage the seaweed that washed up to shore and had a very salty salad…needs some ketchup.
The internet speed is best described as an obese man crawling in a 2KM running marathon but I still got hope.

Google is still loading but I kept my hopes up that I would be able to search for something…I eat more seaweed. Someone once told me that it’s bad to drink salty sea water but it goes very well with seaweed, OOooh, look Fairies from Never-land came to visit me.
I made a friend to kill the time, no, he’s not a coconut. It’s Fred. Fred Kowalski from New Hampshire, he’s here on holiday, I’m going to be his best man for his wedding with Miss Seaweed. Soon after that, I feel asleep on the sand, listening to the sweet ambience of the night breeze and the symphony of the prevailing waves hitting the shore floors. A small wave woke me up with more seaweed in my mouth.

Day 3
Woke up feeling woozy, everything seems so different right now, the pigmentation on my visuals is slightly messed up, I feel like puking, I did. I have to find that someone who told me that sea water is bad and tell him that it’s true. I think I just saw a unicorn.
3 hours of extra sleep
I woke up again feeling dejected, I peek towards the general direction of my laptop when I heard the familiar sound of my Live Messenger going off, I was instantly awake. I ran towards my laptop and check my email. I got some messages, some from my ex girlfriends telling me they hope I get stranded on an island with no food and no communication…how did they know I was on the show?
My mom send me hate mail and also a very detailed scolding about me not contacting her and how I’m now removed from her will and how the dog is getting my share of the money. I ignored the email. I got some from my friends, the ones that wanted to borrow money but mostly spam but right now, spam is my best friend. Ooooh, Viagra and penile enlargement, 50% off.

Around evening time, I decided to email my mom back apologizing, maybe I can go back up to her good graces. I tried to send, my connection failed. My computer restarted and now the boot loading screen is stuck while playing ‘’the ketchup song’’ on loop. I cried myself to sleep.
Day 4
I woke up late in the afternoon and decided to do something more productive; I chase some crabs around the island but got bitten by what looked like to be a very angry squirrel, I know I sounded delusional and I somewhat blame the huge gash on head due to the tree that I knocked into trying to chase the crabs but don’t worry I am fineeeeeeee*^%&*@#%^^wjak;a;lkdasfasfgasg…
I woke up I believe 2 hours later, I feel much better now. The connection was suddenly okay again so I decided to log in to my facebook, I waited another 2 hours. While waiting I made a Haiku.
I have internet, it is slow, i tell myself I know.
I know this is going to sound strange but I just figured the meaning to life, I quickly try to unscramble my brain so that I can remember word for word because this would single handedly be the most important thing in your life for you to ever read, it is what make champions, champions and winners, winners. Ooooh, I got superpoke by a female stranger.

3 hours later
I just finished sending the female stranger (that’s her name) a message on facebook, it took me a while but I hope the message isn’t too much for her. There’s something important I wanted to say just now but I just can’t seem to remember.
The internet connection got better around 11pm, I was ecstatic, however I fell asleep.
Day 5
It’s the last day, but I think I couldn’t care less anymore. I will be picked up very soon and I just feel indifferent about it. Hell, they don’t even need to pick me up and I will be perfectly fine
I have developed a new sense of contentment; I think it’s the lack of online communication and interaction. Who needs the internet? I have all I ever wanted ever on this peaceful island like my seaweed collection, my tent, my salt water and my laptop. I mean if we really think about it, there is no society hierarchy or society’s pressures here and I think I just found nirvana. I am one with the island, I am one with the crappy internet connection, I am one with the….WAIT, IS THAT A HELICOPTER? OWH GOD, YES, YES, HELP, GET ME OUT OF HERE, QUICK, I NEED MY CONNECTION, I NEED MY FACEBOOK PROFILE, I NEED MY MSN, I NEED TO CHAT ONLINE, HEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPP ME!
