down memory lane.

last week, my dad's computer was invaded by two darn 'huge' viruses. one worm another one dont-know-what-name-but-i-know-its-suppose-to-be-very-'powerful'. -.- my dad told me that the whole hard disk had to be reformatted and we would lost EVERY file in the computer.

i felt the prick in the chest. the first thing that came into my mind was all my photos! my heart sank at the idea i'll never be able to get those memories back. i dont even have a hard copy of any photo in the computer. i almost melt into tears. =S i regretted not developing them the week before when my dad offered to take me there. now.. everything is gone =( every photo since primary until today.

i've started to find links and everything which will enable me to retrace all the photos. some friends told me i should have saved my pictures in my USB drive. but the problem is, I DONT HAVE SUCH A BIG USB DRIVE! D: that's why i shifted it all to desktop! i was quite upset when i got to know that i dont have pictures from my previous trip to Bali. was down for a few days too. =/

yesterday, my dad called me into his room. and on the computer screen, i saw the name of my folder!!!! =DDDDD my eyes went *blink blink blink!!* a bit like when you hit the jack pot! xD i was so overwhelmed and grateful that i didnt lose any photo. =) counted, a total 1000+ photos inside ALL UNDEVELOPED! i swear i'll get them developed the first chance i got! ><

my moral of the story, ALWAYS SAVE ANOTHER COPY// BACKUP OF EVERY FILE! never regret it when one day *CHOI!* the computer was intruded again *CHOI!* xp

* * *

it feels good to get back all those wonderful memories. =) just browsing through them makes me feel good! =D i will always cherish//remember those moments =]
