This week started out rather unlucky for me.
Monday
Supposedly meeting up with Samuel, Malik, Wen Hau and Edmund at Bugis. On the journey there, the train I took had some faults and was delayed at Dover. Eventually, the crowd was asked to clear the train and wait for another train. After the next train came, I was furthered delay due to the earlier train not proceeding on normally. The delay lasted until Queenstown and from there, the trip was smooth. After meeting up, we had lunch at Pastamania before making our way down to the shop which sells the parts we needed for the armature. We walked in the rain to the shop and back to Bugis. Made our way back to school for lesson. The most unlucky thing was that my laptop was having problems starting up. Eventually, from that day on, I tried ways to get my computer working again. Called Apple a few times hoping for a solution.
Tuesday
Went down to Yuhua to coach for the last time before they stop for holiday. After that, Jun Ming sent me to the Shell station outside Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School. Had IS lessons as normal. Then went down for S & W. Initially, it was still a light drizzle so we were not sure whether lesson was as per normal at the court or not. Fortunately, we got to do shooting and lay-ups for S & W today. Then went down to Wheelock Place where the Apple shop was. Bought a firewire which cost $34, hoping this wire can help me in the backing up of my files before I can reformat my Mac.
Wednesday
Had lesson as per normal today. For the whole VID lesson, I was spending my time trying to transfer files from my laptop to the iMacs there through the instructions of the Apple people. My phone had problems as halfway through the call, it suddenly rebooted. By the end of VID lesson, I was still unable to solve it even with the help of Zhi Chao and the other TSO. During PP2, with help from my classmates, I eventually managed to solve it by reformatting my Windows partition into Mac. Managed to complete my SSS research at around 6.30pm.
I must really thank a few people for helping me.
Firstly, to the Year 3 senior, Eda (I think that's her name), she help me by asking around her friends for Oran's number, who had solve a similar problem as mine and also help me contact Zhi Chao to get his help.
Secondly to Zhi Chao who despite his busy schedule, still tried to help me out and finding another TSO to assist in fixing my computer.
Thirdly to Kang Wei who help me by suggesting that reformatting my Windows partition to Mac so at least I can backup my files from the original Mac partition to the newly reformatted partition which eventually got my computer back on working, though now it is loading very slow.
Lastly to Samuel, who willingly lended me his HDD to use as a temporary backup storage for my files.
