Exams Exams Exams

I know I haven;t been active (again) these past few weeks but alot of things happened. Just to recap,
Last week, with my friends, we visited the noodle markets at Hyde Park. Together we venture out into a massive crowd having our dinners under the city night sky accompanied by entertainment. We eagerly satisfied our hunger with a multicultural mix of dumpings, satay sticks, roti, curry, pancakes and also visited the Ferrero Rocher cart to received two free chocolates =).

And over the weekend, my bf bought me a new harddrive for my computer, giving me 808.8GB extra space. Yes, it is a weird number. The harddrive is a Western Digital Green Caviar which indeed does prove to be energy efficient, consuming half the power of other harddrives, eco- friendly, and silent.

My harddrive came at a convenient time since I had some trojan troubles with my computer. Whilst innocently typing away my "study notes" for the upcoming exam, my computer has suddenly shut down on me. I thought "Not to worry, next time I open up Word doc, it will still be there saying I didn't save it, etc etc". However I was wrong. I was now stuck in a viscious cycle in which my computer kept rebooting itself during startup with a blue screen saying an error had occured. I started to panic thinking back to when I started to just save word documents in my documents without backing them up so that I could print them off in one go, etc etc and a couple of weeks ago I was just pain lazy to make a duplicate of my important files. As usual, alot of people will lose the most important things they have saved onto their computers during these cases: precious photos, their entire music collection, important documents, etc etc and of course as a student, a final paper, report, essay of some sort.
This was however, after researching a bit on how to fix everything, was resolved by repairing windows through the OS CD and I was happily back on track and immediately backed up EVERYTHING in case it was to happen again and ran a deep scan of my computer with an anti-virus/spyware program.

This and next month will be my exam period and will not be blogging as much during this time. Of course, I will be back to blog about my summer holidays afterwards!
