Morn began with the notebook failure. Switching on the power, the dreaded "Invalid System Disk" message flashed the screen. Threw me into a flurry state at 2am. Apprehension told me that the hard disk had met with a grave mishap. Kept my optimism brewing and slotted in the Rescue CD. Ah. I had to reformat the entire disk and reinstall everything over again. At least the hard disk didn't spoil. In the midst of reformatting, I dozed off with my glasses on.

The knocking on my door woke me up at 6am. Dad wanted his CD player back. Checked the notebook and realised it'd ran out of battery. Luckily the reformatting and reinstallation had completed. Too lazy to connect it back to the AC source. Dizzy spells drove me back to sleep.

Woke up at 11am when Mom and Sis were about to leave. Installed Dungeon Keeper II successfully. Grin disappeared just as the starting screen reverted back to the windows screen. Tried launching the game again, same result. I guess I'm not fated with a lot of games. Last time it was Star Wars Racer, which needed a 3D Accelerator which I don't possess. Now I don't even know where the problem lies. Brought it to the notebook and tried. Same thing. ARGH.

I swear I'll never play games anymore.

Off to improve my writing. Nice to know you, Dennis. :)

I Am Gone

Will life go on as usual
in this place I call my home?

Will you grace my funeral
and shower upon my tomb?

Will you flip through the journal
secretly tucked in my room?

Will you ever remember
the things we always assume?

The things we deem are best
The things we live for
The things we do with zest
The things which make us soar

Now that I'm gone
There's no need to mourn

Treat me as a passing wind
Cascades down your skin

For I am gone
