Patience Tested
Today is by no means a very pleasant day for me. I have had 2 bad things happen today..and they have yet to be solved....
I was in church this morning and I turned on my laptop....well..it turned on...but my screen was a total blackout...windows couldnt load.....i'm now using my old laptop (thank God for it...)
i couldnt believe it....my heart just sank when i saw that black screen in front of me..so many thoughts running around in my head...many important stuff inside the laptop that i just cant afford to lose because i've spent so much time and effort in doing those work....you're talking about 4 months of hard work (since i've been using that new laptop for that period of time)...and of coz...i need not mention all the important information that i had stored inside there...frankly speaking, it's emotional torture....if you think i'm making a big fuss over it and cant understand why i am feeling what i am feeling....it's just because you're not in my shoes....so show some compassion will ya??
the 2nd bad thing that happened was when i discovered my car's right rear door is spoilt..the door cant be opened from the inside....i think i was pretty amazed that i didnt scream out in frustration when sam found that out for me...what timing....laptop spoilt..and now car door is spoilt...and given that this week is going to be VERY VERY BUSY BEYOND MY IMAGINATION (phd research + exam marking), i cant imagine taking out time from work just to go to toyota service to have the door fixed....please please...let the door be under warranty......
putting that car issue aside, i think i'm really blessed to have people in church to help me with my laptop.....wai keung spent almost 5 -6 hours trying to retrieve MOST of my hardisk data (which he did) and recovering the system (in which he had partial success). he was apologetic that he couldnt reach a complete resolution but i'm already grateful to the so much things he has done...
my laptop is now with Calvin in ER....he's trying to help recover the missing 190GB of hardisk space due to the incompetency of the HP recovery system disc....thanks bro for helping in the midst of ur exams....thank you so much =) you've been a reliable bro in my every time of need....
and of coz...if all else fails..dhany has offered to help me with it on tues night....he's the most experienced anywayz...since he's working in this field.. =)
so....although i dont deny that my heart is in a little turmoil, here's a verse i'm holding on tightly to my heart "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to GOd and the peace of God that transcends all understanding will guard your heart.."
and of coz....i shall be glad and rejoice =) singing releases joy, and i'm a overcomer in Christ!
thank you wai keung
thank you calvin (and thanks for identifying with my pain about the car too...=) )
thank you dhany
