Sigh. I'm in a bad mood right now. And it's mainly because my computer just screwed up on me again. Yup, the bad luck with technology strikes once more. :\
This time my CMOS-dunno-what-fan that cools my chips has stopped functioning. According to Goat, computers can usually function without that fan for quite some time, but i can't seem to get past the stage after my computer detects hard-drives - even after clearing my CMOS ram - and i cannot go into my BIOS to "ignore" my fan problem.
What all this means is that there could be some kind of permanent chip damage. Which means that i'll have to change my motherboard. This is where my 3 year motherboard warranty comes to the rescue, but sadly, my receipt from Fuwell has been missing for the past 2 years or so. :(
Sigh...Goat recommends that i get a whole new computer, keeping the graphic card, disk drives, and peripheral stuff, if i want to. But if you've read my previous posts, you should know how much i ABHOR spending lots of cash (i.e. >$200-500, depending on the item) to repair or replace stuff which shouldn't have gotten broken or missing in the first place. I also don't like having to go to some faraway place and wait there the whole afternoon just to replace stuff using a warranty. Although i kinda wish that i HAD that option right now.
Anyway, i was so very unproductive on friday at work, spent friday evening doing nothing of note, and besides going for a short run, i don't think i did anything productive today as well. Wasted 2 whole days, in my opinion - and now this happens - and i'm feeling the pinch right now during today's final hour; so i'm rather depressed at the moment. And when i get depressed, the introvert in me makes me want to just have some time on my own doing something distracting...hopefully with a coke or something at the side.
And now Nicholas and Maryann (from my JC class) has just called me and asked me to go down to a pub like RIGHT NOW to celebrate Meixian's birthday, but i've never been a last-minute outing guy, and as things stand i'm completely not in the mood at the moment. Should i go or not...:|
...I've decided not to. Haiz. Just gonna end up spoiling the mood anyway.
