I had been dreading like hell these few days, my com wasnt working very well.. my msn was fine, so was skype.. but the internet browser was like damn damn damn slow in loading that i felt like smashing my com.. i was quite down, no mood to reply mails, because replying 1 short mail will take me longer than a bath! i was so so so annoyed n worried.. i thought my com was hacked by some virus, n i quickly searched for an anti-virus program, which didnt turn out to be very quick cos my com was damn lag.. then i downloaded 3 different anti-virus program, one after another cos the previous one didnt work well.. n guess what? it took me more than a night to do such simple stuff!! ARGH! i was like so gonna cry, cos i had loads of work to do, which i cant without my com, and i had to reply urgent mails.. i was so so so annoyed n stressed that i slept n slept.. erm, those who know me well will know that i sleep when im stressed. Weird habit huh!Anyway, i brought my laptop to the computer center this morning, and they did scans, replaced my anti-virus programs with theirs, did scans n stuff for more than 5 hours! They deleted my google toolbar, nagged me for putting 'auto sign-in MSN & skype' saying that slows down my whole system.. And then, they returned me my laptop saying 'it shd be better now', but i didn't see how it was better.. loading was slower than ever! But born polite, i thanked them anyway.
i was so sad n worried.. i was forced to reply my emails in my com's turtle pace, took forever! n then i suddenly remembered my friend mentioned about firefox last night.. I decided to give it a try.. anyway, my com cant get any worse than this right?
N guess what?! IT WORKS!!! My browsing n loading speed increased ten folds, and i am so so so so RELIEVED!!!
Internet Explorer, GO AWAY! I'm so gonna uninstall it RIGHT NOW! Gave me such a big headache, put me in such stress, got me into so much trouble by bringing my huge laptop to the com center, wasted so much of my time n effort.. I am so gonna DELETE YOU!
Well, had to express my relief here.. So i blogged before i deleted the internet explorer.. Those who're still using IE, do switch over to Firefox before u stress ur head bald! THIS IS MY FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE!
Phew! had to do post all the above before i burst.. Uni life is still very much the same, work load piling up, lagging behind lectures, presentations creeping near, deadlines approaching.. oh what the heck! give me a rest will u?!
One good news though! I've got name cards!!
TADA!
And guess what i found?
The first ever KIM GARY in Singapore!! its green though.. KL branch's orange.. Yup yup yup, time to visit me right Xian?!
Oh, and before i forget, special thanks to wh, who helped me so much in downloading and scanning my com for virus yesterday.. u are an ANGEL=)
