save me

April 2, 2009 at 11:43 pm (i only thinking, just another day lor, my own stuff)

PC repair – $270

configuration / Backup data – $45

plan to go cheap

buy a new external portable hard disk 160gb $74

plugged in both hard disk…planning to let it slowly drop over to the new disc and eat my fish soup…

drag and drop…HOW HARD?

while drooooooooping the massive huge file…decided to abort action cuz it MAY kill either of them, wanna just do bit bit AND THEN…

DA DA DAAAAAH!!!

files disappear, gone, kaaaaaaputted!

quickly call A-Star the pc repair shop

*ring*ring*

me: hello

A*:hello

Me: i have a problem

A*: …

m: blah blah (i relate my story with almost sobs in between) so what happened? can you save it?

A*: need to scan first

Me: all i did was…(repeated my story)

A*: need to scan first

me: what’s the chance of getting back the files?

A*:need to scan first

Me: oh…so need to scan first?

A*: need to scan first

this guy is so calm that i feel so hopeless already. then quickly i pack up and then before i go i call again

me: hello…i just called

A*:…

Me: so i just bring the hard disk? need to bring the wires?

A*: sigh…no need no need

i know he prob CAN be the hero for me today but talk like that…ok ok nehmind, you are the winner, let you be rude…so i quickly pack them up and off we went to Sim Lim Sq…the A&E.

pray pray pray

went straight to the shop…the man behind the phone was a young, skinny, pale looking boy. i repeated my story and GUESS his reponse…no prize hor…

MUST SCAN FIRST…i almost burst out laughing…laughing in my sorrows…

so there we have it…to save $45, i bought a $74 hard disc and kena must pay ’scanning’ fee $32.10 and god knows how much to retreive my files. now the hard disc in the hand of mr ’scan first’...back in office, fish soup’s luke warm, rice is cold, coke’s condensation evapourated…appetite gone.

how important are the files you ask?

its my office stuff…EVERYTHING…

somebody’s gonna get real hurt

*shiver*
