That’s what Sarah did. After Jumaat prayers today, I came home to check on my torrents and continue watching Kino’s Journey[a very wonderful anime which I will write a review when I'm done with it]. I didn’t realize that it was drizzling outside.

After a few minutes, it starts to pour. I especially love it when it rains. So I immediately got up a boiled some water for hot drinks to enjoy in the rain.

“Fuwah, hujan rezeki ni”

Rezeki punya rezeki. As I was leaning back while enjoying the show, from the rear panel of Sarah’s CPU burst a bright crackling spark! I was shocked and somewhat startled for a few seconds.

“Shit shit, WTF was that?”

Sarah, surprisingly was still running with no problems, until I noticed a baloon on my system tray:

Eh? That’s odd. I felt worried as heck so I rebooted Sarah, the network switch, and the DSL modem. To my horror, the LED for ports 1&2 [DSL modem and Sarah, respectively] didn’t light up. So I tried exchanging ports and tried pinging the modem from my mom’s crap PC. I discovered 2 things:
- Ports 1&2 got damaged, and can’t work
- Sarah’s on-board LAN port got fried

Damn. So called up Fairuz and asked if he can take me to the nearest PC shop.

“Camni la. Aku nak gi Mines tukar game aku yang rosak tu. Nak ikut?”

Oh joy. At times like these I really REALLY love my buddies. So we went to Mines, got myself a PCI network card for RM18, and just had a walk around Mines. Sampled the oh-so-hyped aiskrim goreng, which turned out sucky, and we went for a few rounds of good old Daytona [guess what, I got owned, again!]

Came home, and replaced the 56k modem [haha, its not like I was gona use it anyway] with the LAN card and voila, Sarah is back online.

So much for the story of the day.
