The short one week holiday is coming to a close. Would it even to be right to call it a holiday? per say maybe. The only difference during the so called holidays was that I was able to sleep later and wake up later. But I still set my alarm clock daily. It would have been awesome to say the holidays passed without incident, But it wasn't the case. My beloved PC, that was built from scratch officially kicked the bucket on Tuesday. Taking along with it all the myriad of files and documents and photo's which I had accumulated over the past 3 years. Now I'm more less the kind of person that takes things in stride. So was I unhappy about it? Honestly yeah. An hour later was I still upset about it? Not really I was more worried about how I was to complete my homework as I have 6 assignments and 2 presentations due the following week. I'm usually a pretty laid back person. But with all of this due, It sent my mind and sadly my stress level past hyper drive mode. I'll be brutally honest to the extent that before last year I hadn't the slightest inclination of what stress was like. And this year has been a year of learning to deal with stress and finding peace in the most dire consequences. Dire is a pretty strong word, But you get my drift. I've always been the type of person who wouldn't dwell much on the present but look forward to what the future held. Or as an optimist would quote, To look past my current level but to visualize my potential maximised. So what did I do from there? I went out and bought myself a laptop. Bought a small nifty but power packed machine. Pleasant on the eyes yet awe inspiringly powerful to boot. Am I happy with it? Well I'm contented with it as it does it's job and helps me get my presentations and assignments done in time. Some people my say I splurged more then I should have for the laptop, But I'm a firm believer that if you want something that will last and serve you faithfully for years you better be prepared to invest some cash. It wasn't too expensive at RM4.1K. A 13" screen with a 2MB auto face recognition camera built in, Intel T7300 2.0GHz 800MHz bus Duo core processor, 160GB 7200rpm HDD, Nvidia 8400MS Graphics Card, 4GB Ram, Biometric thumb reader for security and a touch screen pad with neon lights for my hot keys. I am thankful for getting it, And God's awesome for allowing me to get one.
I do hope that I can recover all the photo's from my old hard drive, They have high sentimental value to me. To lose those photo's would be as to lose part of my life. I have already lost every single photo of my childhood and have lost every single family photo we had. So to lose the last photos of my dad while on our trip to Thailand and my 21st Birthday when my Mum was down would grieve me to no end. I do hope they'll be fine . I'd go as far as to pay top buck to some lab for the recovery of it. You cant place a price on sentimental value. Regardless, At the end of the day I'll bless the Lord with all my soul and all that is within me.
