I think it is either due to the rain or some unexplained forces that is the reason behind the recent malfunction of electrical appliances at home.
First, my television keeps changing channels by itself. No, it is not spooked nor is someone using a universal remote control like the one Adam Sandler had in the movie 'Click.' Hopefully the repairman who is coming later in the evening can resolve the problem on the spot.
So, no television, I can live with that for now. However, my computer is now starting to act up. It seems that some of the application extensions have either been corrupted or altered such that my icons are not showing any pictures at all on numerous Window applications. As I am blogging now, I am concurrently downloading the Windows XP Service Pack 2 to help rectify the fault. I really hope that the faults can be rectified! I have quite a lot of stuff in my computer and I really hope it does not get wiped out or else I am pretty much doomed. [Memo to myself: Get a portable storage drive soon!]
What an interesting prelude to Christmas which personally I don't know whether am I looking forward to or not. Somehow, being at the receiving end of Christmas gifts from my paternal family ain't such an inviting thought actually. Perhaps, it is the lingering past that is still speaking to me after all these years.
