Memory's lost

My handset's alarm was set quite early today for I wouldn't want to miss class on the first day I came back from holiday. It took me a few hours of snoozing until I finally woke up. After a refreshing shower, I was really in the mood for class. Packed my laptop, some blank papers for taking notes, a calculator my mp3 player and I'm off to class.

Went through 5 levels of stairs, 2 hostel blocks then to the main campus. I looked around, saw some posters showing some activities that had been done and yet to be done. Then, i came across 1 that promotes some Valentine's Day stuff. The date was from 2-13 February operating daily from 10am - 4pm if i remember correctly. The venue is Central Plaza which I will get through shortly.

As I was getting close to Central Plaza, i notice how few people i saw in campus. In fact, I saw no one in Central Plaza, around XR lecture halls, 1 or 2 people in front of the library. Now, where is that valentine's booth? "What? Everyone's in class?" I thought. I continued on my route to class on the 2nd floor of FIT building.

It never occur to me how strangely few people i saw. My class was scheduled 11am and the time was 11 just as I arrive in the FIT building. I started worrying about being late, even though at most I'll be late 3-5 minutes. Not that it matters that much to me but last week, my friend was saying she got kicked out of class for being 5 minutes late! The lecturer said "NO EXCUSES!" and asked her to leave the class. I was afraid that I'll be having more of that type of lecturer this trimester.

Just as I'm about to arrive at my class's room, my father called.

Bapak: Adi, baruk bangun kah?

Adi: Sik pak, baruk mok sampe kelas.

Bapak: Kitak ada call kah?

Adi: Call? Sekda lah.

Bapak: Aih? Apa ada miss call?

Adi: Aih? Mena kah? Sekda bah Adi tipon.

Bapak: Oh. Sik hal lah. Bait2lah sinun.

*call ended*

Perhaps I pressed the call button in my sleep? No? Anyway, I had arrived in front of my class and the door's locked! What the hell?

Then I started thinking back. Class canceled? No. There's no announcement about that that I know of. What if... it's a holiday... Then the thought came back to me, all the clues that how few people was in campus and all. Today IS a public holiday!

OO MA GOD!!!! All those hype and worrying and walking to class thinking what to study just to find locked lecture rooms.

Feeling ashamed of myself for not to know this holiday, I walked back to my hostel, calling some of my friends on the way to ease the shame. Bak kata urang Serawak, kede ngan dirik mpun.

So, I got the whole day to rest. So I decide to reorganize things in my laptop. I was thinking of reinstalling Vista back. So, I move all my data to the D drive partition and start the formatting process. First, I must install the Dell's Media Direct before installing vista as it says on the CD "Use this before installing your OS". So, after making sure every data i want to keep had safely been moved to D partition, I start booting my laptop using CD.

Then, 3 options appear on screen:

1. Use all memory in C:... bla bla bla...
2. State how much memory in C: the rest will be in D:
3. Exit

So, I choose 1. There's a beep and a warning message:

Warning! Doing this will erase all data on your HARD DISK DRIVE.
Y: yes
N: no
R: return previous screen

Thinking that it only appears to effect the C: partition I currently have, i pressed Y.

Shortly afterward:

Operation Completed. Remove Media Direct CD and install your OS. Boot your OS then, insert the Media Direct CD to complete the installation.

Okay, simple enough. I inserted my Vista installation CD, select some options until it came to the partition select screen.

Partition 1: 229GB Free: 229GB Primary
Partition 2: 3GB Free: 3GB Logical
Partition 3: 299GB Free: 50GB Primary

At first i thought, okay, there's 3 partitions, so one must be C drive, D drive and the logical must be for the Media Direct. Then I saw how much memory in each partition. What? 229GB? I remembered my C drive only had 90 plus GB.

O MA GOD!!!!!!! All my data got erased!!!! Why oooo why didn't I see the HARD DISK DRIVE in the warning message.

Now I lost all my mp3s, pictures, videos, games, mangas and some other good stuff. T_T
