This morning, I'm all alone at home. We have send back our youngest son back to college after spending a week at home for his semester break.
My third son, Izhar has started working at Heitech Padu Sdn Bhd. Today, he is reporting duty at Menara Heitech Village. We went to check out where this is last Saturday.
Perhaps later today, we will know where he will be stationed in (many branch offices). He had to decline a previous offer becaue Heitech offered a better pay and perhaps not so odd hours of working time (see here). My eldest seems to be happy with his work as a QC officer in a glass factory in Senawang but he has to work for 12 hours Monday to Saturday. A little problem for him is Friday prayers where the break time is pretty short. My second son is of course in JB.
My other half is doing her locum to help with the income. That leaves me alone with our cats.
Several days before, I could not get to use my laptop since its system files get corrupted. I was tweaking something before this because it was already causing problems before (to the point I had to uninstall my personal Mathematica software). Not sure if it is because of the tweaking or my cat had accidentally altered something while I was not in the room. I was fearing the worse particularly with all my work in there. Also, I can't afford to buy a new computer (barely surviving for this month). Luckily I had my third son helped me to back up my working files and reinstall Windows using a different hard disk which has bigger capacity.
Some hiccups after the reinstallation is that my working files now stored as an external hard disk (brought out from the old laptop) kept asking for a recovery key since it was locked by BitLocker. Again my third son came to the rescue and made some adjustments (tried to do it myself with advices online, but it requires more sophisticated adjustment).
So lets hope this laptop will last for a few more years. I'll be more careful this time.
