Wow this is the longest time that I have not updated by blog. There have been a lot of things happening around me. The worst is the accident that I had.

It happened on the 17th Jan. That was my first day of work after the long night shift of the previous week. I looked after the computers in the office, and one of my college complained about noise coming from hic computer. I knew that could be cause by the accumulation of dusts in the cooling system. OK lets blow them out. Took the computer to the shop floor, blow out the dust and clean the computer. Return to office to place it back, never sees the pile of papers by the table, slipped and fell with the computer. Last finger, left hand was hit by the computer as I fell down. Rushed to the company doctor, xrayed and referred to the hospital,, got 9 stiches and stayed home for 5 days of rest.

Good to be at home to continue blogging? NO! Computer broke down and thats the last contact I had with the outside world. No internet connection Duh!! The PC just goes on BEEP . . . BEEP . . . . BEEP with the harddisk light on with no further activity. It happened once few days ago but this time its terminal.

Managed to sell off my car for scrap. Its only 4years old from new. No one wants the car. Put up for sale @ $35k and no one wanted it. A new car similar to my car now cost only $40K. Hows that to lose money fast. However, I really missed the car cause I had a lot of good memories with it.

I send the computer for repair and it came back a day later. The fault is due to the RAM only. Phew!! that was lucky. The cost for the replacement - S$70 - Aargh. . . . The irony of this blog entry is that I did it at work - thats about 2months of IDLE.
