Finally, my pc got fixed this morning. I thought I can do without a computer & Internet access for a few days (afterall, I survived through 5 days of complete cut-off from computers & Internet while I was at Krabi & Phuket. But it's different afterall. It was a damn holiday & the past few days were not), but I almost died not being able to surf the net from Friday night all the way till Sunday morning.
My PC offically died out on Wednesday night. After a few attempts, it got resurrected & I did my best to back-up all data I have. Fighting back the urge to sleep, I managed to back-up 80% of my data at freaking 4am. Thinking the PC's working fine, I went to bed feeling relieved, yet skeptical. First thing I did on Thursday morning before heading to work is to on my PC. Damn! The PC just refuses to boot up! I gave up & called the servicing centre. To my dismay, they're only able to come by late Friday afternoon. Because I have to work & because my Mum know nuts about computers (the technician can come by as long as someone's at home), I had to re-arrange the house visit to Monday morning instead. Thank god I was working on Sunday. (i.e. time spent at home is reduced to just 5% & I can use the comp & surf the net in office to satisfy deprived me.)
The killer was Saturday evening & 10.30pm onwards, when I've finished watching a DVD movie & a Japanese drama & more TV will just make my eyeballs pop. Having nothing to do, I cleaned up my room & read the whole week's worth of TODAY in total silence. The only sound that's filling the still air's the buzzing of my fan & the occasional barking of dogs through my windows. It's like back to nature & simplicity. Just like what I used to do all the time in the past. Somehow, it feels fulfilling & surprisingly engaging.
So here I am, back on writing again. But feeling less jaded now.
