Someone just told me that my voice sounds rough and un-girly. And when I say "hello" I sound very fierce. REALLY MEH?! :(

Another week came and went. My life has been pretty packed. I finished the 800 words and now my job search has come to a standstill. I've been neglecting a lot of things recently - my video watching, my Kpop news, my newspaper reading. My colleague has tendered. I am still very sian about my hard disk. I went for the Shrek Forever After premiere - not as good as the previous few installments IMO. I went for this Singapore Arts Festival concert - they played The Carnival of Animals & Peter and the Wolf . I remember both pieces were taught to us in the first 2 weeks of MEP! And I want to watch Sex and the City. I had yummy Turkish food.

Very incoherent summary of my week. End of rambles. Shall try and sleep early.

I've been living without my computer for the past 7 days and today, finally, my computer came back to life!!! Got a friend who is well versed in techie stuff to help out and my computer was diagnosed with a dead hard disk. :(

So now I've got an almost spankin' brand new computer, or at least it feels that way. I've replaced the entire hard disk and loaded in the newest Windows 7. My computer is now totally devoid of data and programmes. I have to re-download all my programmes and mourn the loss of all my photos and files in my old hard disk. Very pek cek man. I DIDN'T BACK UP MY FILES!!!! Lesson learnt. Everyone, please go and back up your files NOW!!! (I lost Cambodia photos, Gassy photos, Ichee photos, sob sob!~ :( If I happen to send you photos pls send them to me? Else I'll just have to get the low res photos from Facebook...)

I really hope a miracle happens and some tech guru can recover some of the files in my old hard disk. :(

The stupid computer crash added to the pretty bad week. I'm fretting over this 800-word article that I have yet to write. I'm stuck in the middle of two people - and I have to travel to China to them. There are issues to deal with. I hope next week will be better.

We're already approaching mid-May. Gosh. It's like April flew by and 1/3 of the year flew by. I'm still at my boring old job even after going for a few interviews. Meanwhile it seems like a lot of things has happened but yet nothing much has happened.

My computer CRASHED on Sunday! Super sian. I tried to reboot it the whole day but failed. Now I'm faced with the prospect of possibly losing all my data. :( SIGH! I never learn my lesson. Which is to always backup my data! RAWRRR!!! My office computer is slow and laggy and now my home computer is dead to the world. Well done.

I was playing mahjong on Saturday and I was waiting to game with this SUPERB COMBI that is probably worth a gazillion points. Imagine: Pong pong hu + half colour - and my half colour is made up of 白板, 红中, 东风 and another wind tile. BUT I DIDN'T WIN coz I was waiting for my winning tile of 红中 OR 东风 and before it came, someone else won. -________-" BAH!!!! If not that would have won me $30++!

Also I'm going to Shanghai and Beijing in June! It was a very last-minute, impromptu decision. Initially I had no travel plans at all for this year, but because colleague's going for an event for work and also because SIA had a promotion, we decided to go and booked our tickets within 1 weekend. I'm really looking forward to it :) in spite of a possible brewing conflict between my 2 travelling partners. Shanghai Expo! Great Wall of China! Forbidden Palace! We only have 3 days in Beijing and I think we really don't have enough time to visit all the places that we want to go! Really wasted la. Could have taken one more day of leave and then extended our holiday by another 3 days.

The past few weeks also have been pretty much a whirlwind of stuff and I have been kept pretty occupied with this thing called Life. I don't even have time to check on my Kpop news nowadays! :( 10 May also marked a pretty important day for me as I made an important (and impulsive) decision. At first I was confused. Then I stopped being confused. I straightened out my thinking. But then I threw caution to the wind. I got sick of being rational and logical. Heck it, I thought. -___- I know. I don't know if I even made the right decision? Was it stupid? Foolish? Blindly optimistic? But I've decided to plunge straight in and even if I escape bloody and hurt, I would just treat it as a milestone in my life and a valuable and precious learning experience. 我要学会有勇气去尝试和体验.

Meanwhile... I'm keeping my fingers crossed for my internal job applications. :x Wish me luck.
