I Decided To Get A Portable Hard Disk...

My old Toshiba notebook is running slower nowadays, unlike the earlier day when my sister passed me. It used to run pretty fast. But not now...So, I have brought it to see my friend in S2 that knows how to fix up the notebook. I thought he would be telling me that my PC was too old and needed to be replaced. Then I could have a good excuse to replace my notebook. But no, that's not what he told me. Instead he told me the notebook was ok, only thing that the storage was not. Almost 90% of the capacity (miserably 60G) had been used up, therefore there was not much resources for the PC to run.

So, instead of getting a new notebook for myself. I got myself a 500G portable hardisk, that is a cheaper solution. I had planned to transfer all my working files into the new hardisk as those files were the ones that took up most of the spaces.

After buying the new hardisk, I started with the file transfer. While I was doing that, I found so many old photos that I had almost forgotten about their existence. There were some videos too especially those that had been taken while the kids were much younger. I was like going back into time, all the old memories started to resurface after so long...Things were no longer in my normal storage, suddenly appear out of nowhere. No wonder we need to take photos and videos cause it is really the best way of keeping the progress of one's life. At the same time, all the emotions embedded with the memories started to get agitated too. There are sweet, bitter and neutral feeling behind each photo and video. But when I take a new look at it now, I noticed I could be at ease with the emotional roller coaster that I once in...

I think it's a good practice to revisit the old photos once in a while, then we had a chance to do some reflection. I do not know for others, at least for me I think it's a good way to consolidate all the loose thoughts in my mind through refreshing of the old memories. At the end of the day, I became more settled....

Side note:
This blog is supposed to be published earlier. But I have overdone my file transfer so much so that I have accidently removed some of the system files, so my notebook got too upset and refused to run at all...Now, it's in the hand of my friend. I don't know when I am going to get it back but I hope it will not be too long cause I missed it so much...
