whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, its time to pause and reflect.

Not able to update my posts for the past 4 days, not due to my excessive work at the office or have I been too tired to update,  but due to the fact that my laptop was not functioning ~ I panicked when the screen turned all black and I couldn’t even access in safe mode. I was devastated at that particular moment ~ I was suddenly having this headache ~ if my HDD is completely corrupted…all my assignments, paperworks, photos etc gone?? I called a friend to help, I also texted Jay, our IT guy so they can help me to figure out what the darnit problem is. Next morning, packed everything; charger, drivers etc and gave it to Jay and prayed hard he could fix it… and he did!! I was estatic! My laptop had a lot of Malware which causes a lot of Bad sectors to my C drive (still have no idea what that is).  But he gave me a long lecture and good pointers of how I should at least take proper care of my laptop from now onwards. Yes Sirr!:

1. Don’t let the battery charger run when you are not using it. (my battery memang hangkang sudah.. I need to plug in the battery charger to switch on my laptop).

2. I have a small RAM – merely 512MB but I have few software installed which are way too heavy for this. His suggestion was to add the RAM if I need to continue using all these software installed. (I blamed it on my brother as he installed most of them)

3. Please do regular updates for your Anti Virus. This is no small issue. Since you log in to the Internet every single day, there are many ways that a Virus can acess your contents and caused major damages.

4. Important files? Back up everything. Burn them into a CD. Make copies if possible so even if your computer crashes, at least you won’t sulk for the rest of your life.

5. Last thing, back up your files. (he mentioned this twice, thats why the repetition. LOL).

Could not stop thanking him for his awesome kindness! Rock on babe.
