Ahh, music.

What man can live without?

The recent tragedy that had befallen upon my PC - virus infection which caused my System Restore to be locked away from access, thus, the major concern of unable to return my computer files and settings to a time when it is usable, not to mention the trouble you'll avoid having data destroyed.

This has led me to the conclusion of having to purchase an original Windows XP Home Ed. to clarify that the problem existed due to piracy (RM300 DOWN THE DRAIN WTF!). Well, even so that the cash isn't from my own pocket, I felt the pain of having the cash leaving from my dad's wallet ...

Well, I thought a complete reformatting would be a good idea to clear the already infected files and configurations, yes, it did clear all the kinky little errors, but with it, all my important configurations have been messed up, or gone. Getting the drivers back for my graphic was not a problem, nor was the virus protection utility. Well, the sound card seems to be aghast with problems and I hear no sound coming from my computer.

The thing is, the incompatible signed drivers for Windows XP are there, but I do not want to risk another malfunction. After getting help from a good friend of mine, the problem still persist - I COULD NOT FRIGGIN INSTALL THE SOUND CARD DRIVERS.

That is when the real problem persist - NO SOUNDS! All I can hear from that wretched piece of technology is 'TIT' 'TIT' 'TIT' whenever a Windows generated window for errors or plain messages appears. THAT SOUND IS GOD DARN ANNOYING.

Due to this reason, I have been restricted from playing games such as o2jam. I mean, gee golly, o2jam is like the bomb as it is a musically inclined game (no swashbuckling nonsense and etc.). I thought, 'Fine, I can deal without games, but NOT MUSIC'. No sound = no music = no life. NO SOUNDS, NO MUSIC, NO LIFE!

It really sucks when there are no music playing at the backdrop of your reality. Many people tend to forget the importance of sound in whatever they are doing. Like, when you are down in the dumps with your work, assignment or whatever that burdens you, there's always that media player comforting you by your side, playing those sweet tunes which works better than any soothing tea you can probably find in this world.

Now, my life is empty without the music that once brighten my life. Oh, not to mention, the ipod nano my sis dropped for my dad, who knows NOTHING of such on how it works won't let me use it.

Fine, I'll rot in my world of silence.
