The rewang interpretation in Malay Language - I promise to translate this later.

Crashed and Burnt

Finally, the dreaded things happened to my trusted (not anymore!) nx6110 laptop. Exactly 11:35am, July 10th an abnormal behavior was detected while trying to open a Word document. It took longer than long for that simple PQP (Project Quality Plan updates I've been working on for the last week or so) pages to load from C: - I thought nothing out of it and leave the laptop as it is because I had to attend another appointment outside. On my way out, someone upstairs growled because a print job was sent to her PhotoSmart printer, and my unfinished draft PQP was neatly printed on a glossy photo quality paper!

I didn't think much of it later on but only upon my resumption of works in the evening, there was this feeling of detachment with my laptop. And as I was about to logoff for the day, the laptop sort of giving me a glimpse of final goodbye - a faint transparent warning window without any text, just a symbol of red X and OK box. After the last click of the mouse, it suddenly dawn on me that I won't be seeing the similar feature on the screen again forever. True enough, as I restarted the, the Local User Profiles was no longer valid or corrupted and with it went along my access to most of my personal files (and the PQP too).

As I write these sentences, I am reminiscing the time when me and my laptop started together. To the 'system7' Local User Profile config file, wherever you are - Thank You.
