MY LAPTOP CRASH!

First time.
This is his first time.
There had been times when i can feel it coming but never came.
But just 3 days ago...it crashed.

It appears to be normal all the while.
I was still watching youtube...and perform the usual various task such as listening to music...blogging, and msn-ing...everything seems too normal...no symtoms...

Then I shut down the normal ways...

Yet, 2 hours later when i try to start up....

I realise how hell look like for me for that moment. It flashes and reboot on and off...but couldn't start up....then it hits the blue screen and declare DEAD.

I was pulling my hair off...and felt like crying...

But there is no tears...

3.30am.

I mass SMS a few friends for SOS...it felt as if it was my baby running a high fever and i would have knock on someone's door crying for help in the middle of the night if i knew anyone can cure him. Someone save my baby pleaseeeee...

The first to reply was my brother at 4am.

I was touched. He left me 2 numbers to call for technical assistance as he is leaving singapore the next morning to CHINA.

Another was LQ. I am well aware that she can't help my baby...but her concern...HELPS ME. that is 4.20am already.

There are just people you can call at 4am. Those are people dearest to you most of the time. The last time I did that was when there was a rat in my room in Glasgow...I called my Bro.

2 other friends reply my sms the next morning..special thanks to them, SY and YH.

Next day, CQ was kind enough to ask me to bring my baby along to meet him and try fix it while we are at KTV. But it din work. Thanks anyway.

As I was already tight on my deadline, Ah guan offer his desktop at home for me to do my work...it was the only solution then as anyway his sis, my best friend was at home too...

The best part came unexpectedly when Kiat, ah guan's brother in the end SAVE MY BABY! I ask him to take a look and see if he can save it...worse come to worst reformat it so that at least i can start working on it....while fixing...I was served yummy supper of kaya toast and scramble eggs by guan...which I want to thank him by the way...

With the help on KY who sent me a link online to try out...Kiat finally manage to start up my computer on save mode...and fix up the problem...and even help me do a clean up...until 4 am at night...I really am more than grateful...THANK YOU SO MUCH!

In the end...MY BABY SURVIVED!

And not only that....this event also makes me realise yet again that life is beautiful and so are people around you....

So beautiful...

Thank you.
