fast recovery!

well sorta. my laptop is back! real fast man... they changed the motherboard and it's done. first thing i woke up this morning to this lady on the phone informing me that it's repaired and i can come collect it. so much for sleeping later. lol... so i headed down to their service center over at changi near the singapore expo hall where the changi business park 1 is (the place i went yesterday) to collect it. oh well it's working fine now. just that i'll have to sort out the security chip somemore. these ibm laptops come with an embedded security chip that i can put a password on. but since they changed the motherboard, the security chip was changed as well so it kind of screws things up a little. i'll have to tweak somemore... =_=" not being too successful. i'm in the right mind to reinstall everything another time. it seems fun! and it'll wipe everything clean + i'll get norton antivirus on my system for another 3months. xD lame la i tell you... and to think i was dumb enough to ask the tech support over the counter "why did my security chip get disabled" because obviously changed mobo = changed security chip! >_<" the guy who served me was still treating me like a typical user... :( sad.

then after collecting my lappy i looked for lunch with my girl! rare leh... then makan liao go home lor. and tweak my computers... and i managed to run again. hrmm, surprising hor. hehe... but not too good today. i ran about the same timing as yesterday. might be due to the sour cream+ onion potato chips my mum passed me (to which i finished easily) before i ran.

there was a thunderstorm in the late afternoon. real huge lightning/thunder strikes. despite the *new* $380 upgrade my parents got to avoid the situation, lightning struck our house again! so we had power outage because the breaker flipped. and because the thunderstorm was so ... frequent(?) that my parents decided to leave the power supply cut until they deem it safer to turn the power back on again. =\ but the guy that installed this said to call him if it does happens.

so why have i been running? i got reminded of the terrible thing called IPPT by my dear classmates on sunday. i'll have to pass to avoid unnecessary problems. and to pass i need to train. better to train now while i can and get it over with. i'll need more training apparently. let's aim to cut down 2 minutes more first. then another 2 minutes if possible. =
*boing boing!!!!!!*
