And yet i did not cuss, unusual leh....

It was a horrijible night. First, someone's car alarm went off just as i hit the sack at 1am plus. I've no idea why the stupid owner did not deactivate it. It was left blaring in the middle of the night forever.....gwehh, gwehh, gwehh, gwehh, gwehh, teetoo, teetoo, gwehh, gwehh, gwehh, gwehh, gwehh, teetoo, teetoo....

Hubby woke up at about 6am and turned on the pc to do his data updating. Turned on the room light and woke me up in the process. Seeing me stirring in bed, started asking me questions as to why the computer this, why the computer that, why the page wont load, why the computer so laggy, blah, blah, blah...

Me, for a change, did not give him a black face nor cuss him. Instead, i helped him out. Then, we went out for breakfast. Came back and went back to bed at about 8am. The loud din woke me up from my sleep again at about 10am. This time it's my nextdoor loud-mouthed neighbour ranting in her kitchen. She's complaining to just anyone who would listen that one of her daughters is trying to con her of her house, blah, blah, blah... sian.

What to do?? Wake up lorr......

My pc is constipating badly. Firefox takes like 3 whole minutes just to launch a page, and longer for subsequent pages. Why like that ah? The entire system was screwed up badly. I cant seem to do anything much like that. So, i began to uninstall programmes and games which i'll never ever use. Gawd, so many.. i dont know why those stupid techs cant seem to take simple instructions when i bought my pc.

I specifically instructed them not to install anything except for the operating system and MS office and yet, i get like about 20 extra unnecessary programs which took up lots of harddisk space....sigh. So much for good customer service, hoh.

I even uninstalled Firefox. Finished downloading all my TVB drama series. Transferred all my files to a different drive, scanned my entire pc for viruses, spyware and god knows what else and started the defragmenting process which took hours. Finally, at about 12am, my pc's finally detoxed and is working at top speed again.

I dont know much about pc maintenance or IT stuff. But these are the steps i take to revive a constipated pc before i decide to reformat it as a final resort. Well, it's fine now and i now have Firefox 1.5 installed. Anyone using this version? What's the difference hah?

I've a lot of data to update. Have to catch up on a lost day's work. Catch up with you guys later, k.

always wondered why people even bother getting alarms. Leave the house and switch on the house alarm. when it goes off in your absense, no one will bother abt it. this does not scare the buglars. why bother buying.
