Computer Crisis!!!

Its been a long time since I last surf the internet with peace. My Toshiba laptop was giving me a lot of problems last friday. I deleted my old virus scan software so as to install a more powerful virus protector software. But I didn't manage to uninstall the old virus scan completely, so I wasn't able to install the new virus protector software. In other words, I'M STUCK WITHOUT ANY VIRUS PROTECTION!!! At night, I was updating this blog when suddenly my computer screen turn into blue. ITS THE BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH!!! OH HO!!! My computer was invaded by Spyware. And I'm not the kind of people who watches porn on the net like Johnny, so I don't deserve such retribution.

Thursday:
So I went to school the next day to repair my computer. Unfortunately, the service centre closed when I reached the entrance. Then, I went to Maxwell's house to fix it. He's a computer pro! But the virus is so strong that Maxwell had to format all the data in my com to kill it. So be it. All my poor music data gone... =(

Friday:
The next day, I went to school again to install Windows XP at the service centre. This time, I managed to reach the entrance before they closes. They agreed to help me install the Windows XP but I could only collect it 3 days later, which is the 1st day of my attachment. Shit! I need a laptop to do my attachment and also I can't go to school to collect it on that day since I have attachment. What to do? I called Zhi Wei to collect it for me.

Saturday:
The next day, I went to IMM with my parents to get a new laptop. I can't stand my Toshiba laptop anymore, it keeps failling on me. I have 2 choices of laptop in mind. Sony Vaio or Fujitsu. I decided to get Sony since its cheaper and its Windows XP, however, the salesman told me they are made from China. So I go for the Fujitsu laptops, but they have no stock. Same goes for the other electronic shops. Then, one salesman recommand me Compaq. He said Compaq is now under HP, so their laptops will hardly crash. However, almost all the new laptops there are selling in Windows Vista version, and I prefer Windows XP because Vista is too new. It will sure encounter problems at this point of time if I am to use Vista. Sian... I bought that Compaq Presario V3000 laptop anyway, though its also running in Vista. No more time to choose, attachment is 2 days later. Then, I went over to Maxwell that night to install some cool softwares and to gain info about my new laptop from him.



Monday:
During the 1st day of attachment, Kah Leong told me that Kok Leong, who is my music lao shi aka the director of the company I went to, is having an unlucky aura. He also said its contagious and call me to beware. Haha! True enough, my new laptop can't install the music studio softwares that I need to install to do my work. LOL! Maybe because its Vista? So the whole day there I can't do anything but to play the keybaord, compose new song, and sing karaoke there. That night, Zhi Wei passed me back my old laptop and I have to pay him $21 for the computer service fee. After having another karaoke session at party world, I went to Maxwell's house to change my new laptop into Windows XP. It was like midnight then. Taking cab is super expensive but I had no choice. Unfortunately again, the wireless network is all lock at that time and Maxwell and I can't surf the internet to download the neccesary drivers for the process. So we can't do anything...

Tuesday:
The next day, I started recording some songs during work using my old laptop. Halfway through my work, my old laptop got virus again... But its under quarantine. Lucky... That night, Mawell came to my house to complete the installation of Windows XP my new laptop. Unfortunately again, Vista is so powerful that it disable the installation of Windows XP even when Maxwell have the Windows XP disc! Even worse, when I opened up my old laptop, I got another virus attack, and this time, IT FAIL TO QUARANTINE!!! AND THE VIRUS KEEPS MULTIPLYING!!! We faced 2 MAJOR PROBLEMS that night and we are about to give up facing 2 problems that we can't solve. The virus in my old laptop is so strong that after formatting, it still surviving. I heard from Maxwell its a Malware, much more FATAL than Spyware. Its the lastest version of virus, and I'm the 1st few customers probably... Damn unlucky. We spent the whole night to solve the problems but we still fail. And when Maxwell went home at 6am, I started to feel feverish. I myself also got infected by virus. Lol!

Wednesday:
I didn't went for work. Kah Leong misses me. Haha! Probably he's along there. I went to see the doctor and then rushed down to school with Maxwell for the service centre. We sent my old laptop for formatting again and went to another service centre in school for some Vista help. That new service centre we went to is more equiped with Vista knowledge as we heard that the new intake of students in Ngee Ann Poly have to use laptops that runs in Vista. And so, the computer guy there insisted that I continue using Vista and he managed to install the software which I have to use for my work. Then, I went back to the old service centre to collect my old laptop, and this time there's no more virus!!! YAY!!!!!!! FINALLY!!! MY LUCK IS BACK!!! Probably because I didn't went to work to face my lao shi that day. LOL! So I went home and passed my old laptop to my small brother and I'm using my new laptop now to write this blog.

Alrite, got to go to sleep. Don't wanna be late for my work later. Cya!

Atrium will be back...

Atrium is gone...

Yesterday is the last day of Atrium's life. I woke up in the afternoon as usual, let Atrium play with all his toys for the last time and told him that I enjoy taking care of him. Now I know that it is so painful to know someone important to you is going to die in a few hours time and its what you are planning for it to happen. Its cruel, but you have no choice...

As usual, I brought him to the vet again, this time already prepared to let him leave this world. I think the nurse there is getting very farmiliar with my face. She was like "consultation for your hamster?" before I can even say anything. Lol! This time, I finally saw people bringing hamsters to the vet, I always thought I was the only one.

Ok, its my turn, I went into the consultation room and the vet says: "You have 2 choices - put him to sleep or try another medication." I said "Atrium is getting sick and tired of taking medications and suffering, what's your advise?" The vet supported my decision and asked me to sign a form.

I went over to the counter and filled in the form. I filled in Atrium's particulars and chose cremation and have his ash placed in an urn and send it back to me. A male nurse brought me to a small room. He took Atrium from his cage and hold him still at his hand. I stroke Atrium's head for the last time. Then he poke the needle into Atrium's body and inject a blue liquid in. The sight of Atrium struggling from the pain of the needle really hurts. By the way, this process is painless, its only that the poking of the needle is painful.

Atrium ly on the table, staring at me and gasping for air. I told the nurse to get me a plastic bag for putting the cage in. While he was away to search for a plastic bag, I went over and used my finger to gently stroke Atrium's body as he was gasping for more air. Then, his breathing stops and he ly there motionless with his eye wide open. I feel so guilty and evil. Its like taking his only precious life away from him... But I have no choice, this is the kindest way I can do for him... And so I left the place and don't feel like doing anything else but to go home. Perpheps I will compose a song for him...

Lastly, I wanna thank Wendy for giving me this little creature for my birthday. Its the best gift I have ever had.

Rest in peace my dear Atrium... I will miss you =(

Atrium will be back...

Updates!!! Updates!!! Updates!!! Read all about it!!!

I think I'm getting lazy updating my post. So I will be posting once in 2 weeks.

1st update, I went to LSCT graduating night in a Hotel in Orchard last tuesday for a performance. The food there is great! And the stage is super pretty, with those flashing lights and smoke machine! As me and my other SCC performers (Wei Ming, Wendy, Mandy, Jiamin and Maxwell), the LSCT students there are expecting for Tiffany and Johnny. Seems like Tiffany and Johnny is pretty famous in LSCT! Anyway, I went up to stage for sound check, and then one of the lecturers there praised me! I was so happy! LOL! I didn't hear good comments for so long liao. Hee hee... Before our performance we are treated with the buffet there. THE FOOD IS SO DELICIOUS AND TEMPTING!!! All the vocalists like me have to make sure we don't eat too much, no deserts too, or else it will effect our performance. Lucky Maxwell, he can eat all he like because he's just playing the guitar. It was performance time and I went the stage to perform "Shi Jie Wei Yi De Ni' by Cao Ge, "Tian Tian" by Tao Zhe, "On The Way Down" by Ryan Cabrera and "Searching" by me. I was quite satisfied with my performances although I know its not perfect yet...

2nd update! Same thing, about my dear hamster Atrium again. I brought him to the vet last monday and was thinking whether to end Atrium's suffering by putting him to an eternal sleep painlessly through an injection there because he was not showing any signs of improvement... When I was there, I saw a family there bringing a dog to the vet. The dog seems to be in great pain. He kept moaning in pain, and staggers around the ground. And he has a diaper on his butt too. Probably also because of diarreo? And so the owner decides to put her to an eternal sleep and plans for his funneral. I was looking and the dog and realised that Atrium is not as unfortunately after all. So I decided to give him one more try. I told the vet that about putting him to sleep but the vet refuse to do so. So ok, one more try lor.

Oh ya! I also found out something. Last time all my hamsters die of the intestine coming out from the anus after a serious of diarrea was because the vet last time gave me the anti-diarrea medication, which will harmfully clog up hamsters' intestine!!! Bloody idiot vet... So no experience... Luckily the vet this time know what she's doing.
So now, after days of medication, and cleaning of his infected wound, there's still no sign of improvement. I think I will most probably put him to sleep this coming monday through the vet.

This is the picture of his wound, after a month of diarrea (It may look disgusting to you but not for me) :


See his anus? That's the wound. So painful... =(
