Friday Nite

Surprising at home and not cheongin??
Typical "uncle" day..
Charging my digi camera batteries to prepare for my weekend stay at Changi.
Hopefully I can get some nice shots, especially sunset at the Changi Broadwalk.

My pc is upz and running, does not give me much problem now.
The bad sector 20G harddisk has been assigned as a scratch disk..
Not bad, consider the pc has about 17G of good sectors to slowly scratch..

Betta go and bath now, follow by packing of my clothing and accesories for
tomorrow stay..

Wait for the pics..

TBIW

Oh, its already Wed before I knew it.
One of the long serving colleague is leaving the company, and I
felt slightly sadden by the news. Its was broadcast on the radio
how one work in a company - putting a false mask at work.
This is very true and relates to some I know at work.
Not sure I can do that in a thousand year, hence my popularity rating
5 - tolerably but an eyesore, haha...

Looking forward to the weekend retreat at one of the hotel near the beach.
Planned a few activities but most probably will be doing some tanning n
"hoot" xbox gaming in the hotel room.

tonite still have to hit the gym, hopefully not overdo it this time.
Will be staying awake tomorrow early morning to catch som Champion League soccer.

Monday Blue..

yeah.. Man Utd score a hard fought win against Newcastle.
My fav Rooney scored a screamer ... .woah hoo...
Going to record that onto my player when the EPL highlights is shown.

Sunday n at D-day Gym

Study Room
Woke up at 9am though I slept about 3am. Went to the local community center, signed in to get ready for my June exams preparation. Two young gals were gossiping soft in the background (in the study room) while I was trying to concentrate on my revision.

Kinda of getting on my nerves. The gals were joined by another chumpy (most probably horny)guy, think it, I mean he, was about nearing 1.8m, sonsidering me abt 1.73m. Man, triple impact.. I have asked huge strangers to move aside or make room (when they get too near my wife) on the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT), I was wondering to make myself heard in the room. I was not one to hold my peace when I got something to add..

Reveal the beastly me (to the threesome).. anyway I was off creatine (not sure if they do "enhanced" the excess energy). Slowly I disappearing into my "complex" computations and the surrounding seem to fade off as I concentrate...

D-day at Gym
Anyway the rain has stopped in the late afternoon, and I can reach my car without getting all wet(n wild). I decide to hit the gym with my wife after my studies. Surprising after one week off the gym I was hitting the weighs with "ease" today. I decided to add another 20% (pitiful comparing to the huge regulars) load to my usual. After about 30-40mins I found myself panting and grasping for breast, I mean breath..

My worried wife came up to me and asked me why I looked pale. I told her I should have stick to my usual workout rather than push it. It took me another 20-30mins to recover to my normal self. After refreshen up myself, I don't look good and decide since my inlaw is not cooking this weekend, we will only go back next week.

At Home
Now I am at home restoring all the good stuffs onto my trusty PDA - Dell Axim5. While at it I came out with some pretty good backup procedure to follow. Not going to fall into the trap of losing all my precious data....

Oh yes, at 11pm I have my favourite Man Utd against Newcastle.. Most probably I will be dozing afair bit during my Monday night class, well.. if you are a fan...

The day my harddisk crashed

Just happened to chance upon the blog site and registered myself.
Trying to restore my pc after one of my *IBM* harddisk crashed.

There's pretty slim chance of me retrieving my data from the
harddisk. All my precious lecture audios as well as trip pictures
are gone with the wind.

Worst is my data backup on my portable harddisk seem to be
giving me the problem. Can't recognise by my pc, and was shown
as a unformatted harddisk partition. Dread the time I have to
press the key to format the portable harddisk, in case one fine
time it data just happened to appear.

Another ultimate thing is that I called the support center at IBM/Hitachi
they allows only return at Changi during weekday. How am I suppose to
bring the harddisk down for a replacement? Most probably I have to get
a courier company to do the sending for me.
