A few days ago, my laptop had a major breakdown!!! Ralph and I could not identify what the fault was. We went to Digital Mall, and it was diagnosed as motherboard defect. I could feel cold sweat came down on my forehead even though I was in a fully air-conditioned mall. Well, Ralph said that this fault would cost us both a bomb. We had to leave my lappie for a day or two. Then, I was a bit sad because I had a lot of blogging things to be done. The guy came back to us both and told us what the problem was but the price for repairing was too expensive to be mentioned here. Ralph and I did not give up and we asked for second opinion. We were lucky because one guy told us that we had to take it to KL if we want it cheaper and faster. So, we went to KL to get it fixed on Tuesday.
It was a fifty-fifty situation as mentioned by the technician. We took the option. While waiting for it to be fixed, Ralph and I wanted to go to the next building. We walked around the building and took an elevator down. But, we could not find our exit due to no exit signs available. We both tried to recall how we came in earlier on. The building was terribly old and I guess it was poorly maintained. Not only the EXIT SIGNS were unavailable but some of the lights were blinking as if I was in a disco or something. Ralph and I were a little nervous because we could not get out of the place and the worst part was all of the shops on that floor of old building closed. We were like lost into the Twilight Zone. Eerie I would say. Finally, we went up to the shop where we sent our lappie and asked for the direction. The technician told us that we should take an elevator with the sign Basement on it. Oh dear. It was a really confusing day for both of us. Ralph was a little upset because they should consider putting up Exit Sign as a guide for people. There are stores selling Exit Sign out there with tremendous options available and the best thing is self-luminous and photo-luminescent models can be found too. Perhaps the management of that building should consider this option very seriously.
Finally, we got back my lappie and here I am. Blogging again. Woo-hoo! Shall I say...
I’ll be BACK!!!

Wow! Cannot find your way out of the building! Like Twilight Zone? LOL! Must hve felt panicky! Last time, I could not find my way out of 1Utama, can you believe it? It was like about 1am, I and a friend was at the One World Hotel but my car was parked in 1Utama new wing.
Firstly, could not cross from hotel to 1Utama cos they had locked the doors! So after getting a guard to open the connecting door for us, we walked into 1Utama and realised many parts were not accessible as they had pulled down the metal doors and sealed part of passageway. We tried a few floors all in the semi darkness and always came to a dead end! Like a horror maze or something. Haha!
Finally, a guard helped us and we managed to walked to my car in the parking lot near Parkson through a hidden lift. Haha! Now I know how to get out of 1Utama even if it's 3am! Haha.

woo-hoo! cheers to that monica! it can surely drive us crazy when our laptops or desktop comps crash down on us. it's difficult to find a great technician ... not to mention the expensive cost of repair.
well well... good to know that you've got your lappie back. hugs! :)

oh no Monica what an awful experience!! >:o >:o >:o >:o
You are very lucky to have gotten it fixed. over here if it's a lap top they usually make sure the cost to repair is more expensive than buying a new one!!
oh my and the building sounds really creepy!! I would have been frightened also!! ;)
I hope you have a good weekend. Walter is grilling out for us tonight. We have a movie to watch. Then tomorrow he is taking our for a drive to get some photo shots done.
It's been really difficult for me to get new photos since my back flared up!! he has our yard all claened up and looking so nice. I am trying to get drops done early today, make my post for tomorrow, so I can sit outside today and enjoy the cooler weather that moved in!!
hugs!! :* :* :* :*
Gosh that is very frustrating. Computers are so very expensive to fix but they become so much part of the family that they are almost impossible to part with :)
Good thing you managed this time :)
