Avid readers of this site (and my close friends) know that despite the fact that I graduated with a Computer Science and Engineering degree, my computer at home just hates me. In the latest twist of episode, it just exploded on me tripping the fuse box of my very home – two counts. As I disseminated this unfortunate yet scary events to my friends, the common reactions from the guys were to discuss the “why” question (Mark messaged me with a question: Did you take a photo?). Girls were more empathetic. It was after all a scary event especially when I was home alone.
I sent my PC for repair the very next day and spent S$200 (S$30 for service fee) to replace my defunct Power Supply Unit with a top of line component. Fortunately, the expensive stuffs inside the PC are all safe and sound. The technician did warn me about what may happen … that stuffs inside may be fried.
