Mango 1-0 Trojan Horse
I haven't been able to blog for the last few days thanks to this irritating trojan horse, spyware, malware or whatever it is. I think I'm really suay, fancy getting infected for the first time in years...yes years! Whats more, I got infected from an incredible source - blogs! I've always been a careful and wise user that is why my precious laptop have always been clean, but that morning I was rather impatient for some reason and clicked 'yes' to an unknown publisher. Ended up taking urgent leave for half a day to fix the problem.
Unsuccessful, gave up at noon, went to office. Worried sick the entire day, pissed with myself. Finally I resolved it yesterday night after 3 frustrating days - well I hope I'd really got rid of the virus and trojan for good because this kind of things, you just can't tell for sure. I can't afford to reformat either as there are too many valuable softwares and stuffs inside. Many people recommend reformatting but that have never entered my head. I was always confident I would be able to nurse it back to health without selecting that option.
Special thanks to Steven and people from the MINDEF forums for their little help and advice. My laptop is back and running healthy again!
And today I decided I would free some space in my ready-to-burst wardrobe. I figured out it would be good to clear the mess now and free up some space for my purchases from Bangkok and HongKong in the coming 2 months. I hate my wardrobe, it isn't that small but the way they design it is very inaccessible especially if I want to dig out clothes as there's only 1 door. Blame HDB for building big flats with small rooms! @!#$%^&*&^
A total mess and on the verge of bursting!
Soccer gear
I know u girls have more....!
This is what we call 'kiam cai'
My humble shirt collection
I did a silly headcount on which type of clothes I had the most and it was a no contest. Long sleeves shirts won hands down. 16 pieces of them and counting. That doesn't include afew which I've dumped after deciding I won't be wearing them anymore. I think I need more variety, 16 pieces is just too little. And I seem to have a habit of getting tired of t-shirts very easily, I dugged up a big amount (more than 16) and dump them all into another cupboard meant for casual wear. And after clearing off some shoes which are almost worn out, I'm left with 11 pairs. Time to splurge!
Looks slightly better after clearing and sorting out the mess!
