I have to admit that I was never a fan of xmas, actually it's my saddest day after Valentines' Day. It's always such days which make one think more about loneliness and stuff like that. The days before christmas are quite enjoyable with gatherings and outings but every year on xmas eve, I'm more or less 'alone'.
This year there's a gathering at my place for my relatives to celebrate xmas. Nice food with turkey, cake, hams and knuckles but I was rather anti-social last night. Lingered in the living room to watch TV and eat for a while and then retreated back to my room. Later in the night played dota with my fellow no-life loser friends together with other losers out there and was still in a game when the clock strike 12. Xmas, so what...
As much as I dun like Xmas, Santa doesn't seem to like me either. This year, there's one more reason for me to hate xmas. My portable harddisk broke down. Songs and movies lost can be downloaded again but what I really felt sad about was the photos. At least 4 years worth of photos are gone. All the good and bad memories, there's no way money can buy it. Tried all the methods I can think of: changing com, changing cable and even freezing the harddisk. All failed to work. Now looking for professional data recovery which is going to cost at least $100+ but if all the photos can be restored, I'm more than willing to pay that price.
All I want for xmas is my photos back
Sad as it may be, life still have to go on while waiting for quotes. Had good food with ZX and Wilson in an attempt to raise my spirit a bit, this time at Waruku. First time eating there and my experience is more or less similar to the reviews I read about the restaurant. The food was tasty and the portion was huge but the service is slightly lacking.
Huat 'slave' and 'peasant'
Lastly, this is the song I listen to again and again every christmas, since it's quite a good description of my feelings. Hope I need not listen to it again next year.
