Burial.
My comp died today because of some virus a friend passed on. I spent the whole afternoon restarting and having illegal operations happen to almost everything I opened. I was extremely frustrated and was feeling regretful that I didn't update my virus definitions regularly. I reformatted my harddisk and I lost most of what was precious to me. The songs, emails and the conversations. Now I don't even have Microsoft Office and I can't even view the pictures I took just now. Have to get the driver. I feel so sian. What is the siannest part is that my D drive wasn't formatted at all and I could have put the important stuff in my C drive to the D drive to prevent everything from being wiped out. Oh well. It was meant to be.
This computer has been with me for about three years plus now. I knew it was about time to do a proper clean up but I didn't expect it to be today. I also didn't want to wait even though WW offered to help. "Three days.. just three days", he said. I decided not to. It was on the spur of the moment that I decided to reformat everything. With it came a sense of loss and relief. I also don't really know what to fully make out of it. There were so many deleted files, so many memories that I had never wanted to let go of even if it was only physically. I told WW that I'm quite hard-hearted. He laughed.
Hope everything will soon revert to normal. Will write about today's outing later. Still sad.
Updated: Don't go to this forwarded joke url. You will not laugh when your comp dies like mine.
