Devastation to Delight!

.
I was completely devastated when something went wrong with my files when Mingyen reformatted my computer last week. I was horrified when he said he couldn't recover the data from the external hard disk!

I was like "WHAT??" My entire life is in there!! (Okay, I'm exagerating, but yes, alot of my precious data are in that hard disk. No kidding!) He accidentally left the cable of the external hard disk plugged onto my USB when he reformatted the laptop, causing the data to all disappear! BoohOooOoO!

But oh well, thank GOD he managed to recover the "lost" data!!! So, I managed to get back:
  • all my mp3's (they mean alot to me, as they were from *him*. He copied his whole entire list for me, when I got the laptop).
  • all my pictures!! (the MOST MOST important thing in my laptop. Not some secret password to a multi-million Swiss bank account, but my precious photos! The memories of time... )
  • my CV & other important documents!
  • my videos. (yes, some of them mean alot to me!) and some that I shall not share with the world. Hahahaha.
  • and other miscellaneous stuff.... like MSN histories, ICQ histories, and other stuff (I do keep some special ones). =)

All in all, I'm just really glad that nothing's lost! *except for some blardee virus. Haha*

Here are some of the pictures, which mean alot to me... *yay!! completely recovered*

Little snippets of 2004


Some memories of 2005

Unforgetable moments of my summer holidays back in Asia :)

Phew!!! What a relief!!! *glee*

But that doesn't mean I don't hate computers now. I still do! They're such a pain!

I can't live without mine... so remember to whisper some sweet-nothings once in a while... it helps 'cos I've been told that computers can be like women...hehe

i don't know if i'm able to face the situation when i'm in one... .hmm don't want to think about it yet ><

Mei said...

Kelly: Yeah, I was soooo relieved when he told me that he managed to retrieve the stuff :)

And as for her, yeah... well, that's the least I could do for her, since I cant bring her baby back. A pair of listening ears wouldn't hurt. Hehe.
