Tech Savvy I'm Not...

will you just look at that...wires everywhere! Spent good half of my day cleaning up my room specifically my dust-laden computer. Oh gosh..I just remember I need to change my bedsheets after all this cleaning and it's like 2ish in the morning...grrrreat.

Painstakingly unplugged the various components and gave them a good wipe and it's when I discover the Law of Gravity doesnt apply to Dust. Dust collects everywhere! Even on the underside of wires and my glass table. Anyways back to the dirt cleaning, my Creative speakers have a maze of wires, they're like tentacles sprawled all over and it's no joke sorting them out. And then there was my block of a scanner, something we exchanged for through accumulation of reward points. It's the thickness of two textbooks atop each other and did I mention so many wires! I was lazy to label the wires to the respective sockets thinking I'm real cool about which hole to plug into correctly..

You guessed it, I dim-wittedly ran my high powered Creative adaptor into the scanner and with everything else in place, I flick the switch on.."Beep! Beep! Beep!!" in retrospect I believe that the beeping was in fact Morse Code for "I'm gonna die!!!". It happened fast, 'Pop', I killed the power and white smoke with some plasticky smell followed.

Believe me, I've never felt smarter. Couldnt get my PC to respond after that, could turn it on but my monitor couldnt detect any signals, not to mention the beeping continued persistently. To cut it short, my brother came to the rescue (thank God for brothers! No thank God for tech-savvy brothers). He couldnt pin the problem but he swapped the memory card into a different slot and it worked!

Life oozed back into my virtual gadget and I cant begin describing how happy to be baack clicking my mousey and drumming my keyboard! Ahhh..internet is my other source of life, my connection to the world...ok sounding drama..I'm happily blogging again and I've downloaded my favourite Huang Yi Da track - 'Xi Huan Ni, Xi Huan Wo' playing it on Repeat for what seemed eternity. This has gotta be Cherandy's track of
the year.
