Replies for my open call for help...

Last Monday when my computer was in coma...

I sent out sms to fellow friends...
To ask for help if not pour my woes...

And I got creative replys like..

"Let your laptop rest in peace.."

or

'Buy a new one lah.."

The most interesting answer was however...

"why you tell me?'

Maybe I was too self-centred to realise that the crash of my laptop is none of their business.


Meanwhile, I would like to thank people who made an effort to solve my problems (Thanks Koyak!) or offer to borrow their laptop ( Thanks wendy!).

Glad that my laptop is back now.

:)

Since last monday....

My heart crashed slightly when my laptop crashed last monday.

Only slightly.

Afterall, this is not the first time.

Indeed, each laptop crash is like a heartbreak.
It not only makes you a stronger person.
It also makes you smarter.

I have long learn the importance of backing up.
Though I did not do a thorough job backing up every single file, but it is good enough to keep all my neccessary files intact and leave all my "not so important and can do without junks" in the deep blue sea of unknown when my computer is being reformat. May all my junk files rest in peace.I am sure I will not miss them because I couldn't remember what they are anyway.

Meanwhile, I would like to share my tormenting experience of not having my computer with me for a week.

A VERY VERY LONG WEEK.


Just a few weeks ago, I was blogging about my friend XN in one of my old posting, "how am i gg to live without my pc for 1 week..." , who sent her computer for service for a week...and I offered her suggestion to kill her time without her PC...

This time run, it is my turn to face the exact same situation.
This is what I would call RETRIBUTION.
I took the idea too lightly.
I was being cool about the whole idea of not having my laptop around for a week,
though I did mention that I WILL SULK.

I DID.

FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK.

I was experiencing COLD TURKISH sensation like a drug addict, for my case, a computer addiction, and was making me cranky and grouchy all week.
It was simply unbearable and my depression come back.

I tried all the mention activities I suggested to XN..

This is when my retribution came...

There is so much I can do, but nothing is done joyfully without my computer.

I tried to pack up my room...I did in fact.
IN silence.
Because I would usually play music while I am housekeeping...
But without my window media player...
It felt like eating tasteless cereal without milk.

I watch TV, and after watching that usual Hongkong Drama..
I would be reminded that I can watch the rest of the episode online...
YET I CAN'T.

I sit around to sing a song...
And reminds me of so many others songs in my window media player...

I tried to read a book...and fall asleep.

I took pictures with my new camera...
But can't upload the images without my laptop...

I wanted to contact RS in Fance to pour my woes of not having a computer..
But she is unreachable without my msn...

I had multiple urge to go swimming...
But I was too lazy...and the weather dun look good enough...

In the end, manage to do some housekeeping and packing and unpacking of my stuff...
watch Tv on and off without paying attention...call up friends to catch up...
read some books without registering what i am reading...

Finally, end up sulking most of the time since last monday.

Just as I have suspected.

Thank You.

PheW!

Yes...my laptop survive.

ONCE AGAIN.

Thanks to Kiat, this is the second time he manage to revive my laptop.
And this time...it took a week instead of a day.

A VERY VERY LONG AND TORTURING WEEK....

Hence this posting is especially to thank Kiat for his help, and apology for bugging him to fix my laptop over the weekends.

Thanks...thanks again.
