Laptop is DEAD!

My laptop has died on me! F#%$! I was trying to restart it when the computer went into repairing mode and I tried shutting it down. Bad mistake! Tried a lot of step but the blue screen kept appearing. Safe mode, Repair mode, last configuration mode....all don't seem to work. It has a stop error code of 0x0000C1F5. Bugger, now Im going to be out of laptop use for the next 2.5 months!

Rested on Mon as my lower back pain still bothers me. Tue wanted to run, but being lazy and also wanted to give my back a rest for another day, I went for a ride to my aunt's house which is about 11km from here. Thought I drop by to visit since I got nothing much to do. Had to go throught the city road which was a little tough. There are just too many traffic lights to go through! On the way there, passed by Royal Park and Princes Park. Royal Park is where Melbourne Zoo is located. I didnt go in the zoo, only stopped outside for a while.

Reached my aunt's house not too long after that and met her mum-in-law. Huey, my cousin was at home too. Uncle Derhan will only be back a little later around 6pm after work. She asked me to stay for dinner. I have not been here since Jan 1998. That was the last time I was here in Melbourne. They've done a few extension to their house but stil left quite a huge compaound for her gardening. Will post the photos later. She has a very nice garden indeed.

Uncle Derham came back and we had dinner together. Had very Australian dinner and also a very good dessert. I can't remember what's it called though (the dessert). Had a cup of tea after that and chatted with my aunt for while before I headed back at around 8.30pm and went through the city roads again before reaching back home.

Last night, I went for a run with the Melbourne Marathon training group yet again. They did a 16km run and again I went with the medium group (around 5:00-5:15/km pace). I probably could have followed the faster group (which I think is going around 4:40-4:50/km pace), but Im just taking this as a long run, so am not in a hurry! Back seems fine during the run, but in the end my legs just felt a little jelly. I think I logged in around 22-23km last night.

Up till now, I still haven't reached a 30km as yet, not even a 25km. Will do one this Sun morning as I'm set to run with a few runners I met through forums. Gona try for 30-32km this Sun. If Im ok with that, I should be ok to finish a marathon. Cooler weather helps too. I don't think I can top my time in KL but still looking for a sub 4 hours finished would be good. I do wish I had my form in KL marathon right now but unfortunately I don't.

Still kind of sad right now that my laptop broke down, but can't do anything about it. Might ask my aunt to bring it back to KL if I can't get it fix here. Today it's just been raining since 2pm, so guess won't run for today.
