IT'S DEAD, AGAIN!!!!

I feel like killing people now. In the first place, why didn't my mother get me an HP just like I wanted instead of an IBM? Sure it lasts longer, but I have a miserable total space of 40 GB only!! and if that is not bad enough, the mouse-scrolling thing, I forgot it's name, cursor ball or something, is so worn out that it's as smooth as a shiny bald head.

My HDD was adds to another of my mother's mistakes-which-she-will-never-admit-to. Technology wise, I'm obviously 10 times, no make ita gazillion times better than her, but NO! She always insists on buying things without consulting me, especially if it's something of mine. Somehow, when it comes to my brother, she will do a thorough research before purchasing anything. In spite of that my brother's gadgets are always in a worse condition than mine. I wanted an HDD during last year's March PC fair, but my mother was at the back of my head and so I couldn't hunt for the best deal. And then, behind my back, she got this horrible China-made HDD which cost more than a Samsung HDD which was the most expensive during the PC fair. If I had knew, I would have just bought the Samsung. Needless to say, anything made in China, WILL NOT last, and has no quality at all. Within months, my HDD became brain dead. And now, after the warranty period was over, IT'S DEAD AGAIN!! I don't know what to do. I'm going to send it back for repair, but I'm also going to get myself a new one. This time, with my OWN money, so she will have no say in what I buy. That's why I like having financial independence. And so, if you're thinking of marrying me, don't even dare dream that I will become a housewife and sit at home waiting for you to put money into my wallet. I earn my own money and I don't explain my spending habits to anyone. They say easy come, easy go. Put it this way, at least there is something COMING for it to be GOING. Way better than no come no go, right? They should just revamp all the proverbs and sayings. Like practice makes perfect, in actual fact, practice only makes PERMANENT!

Any kind soul knows how I can save my data? I have so many movies inside. I'm going to scream at the stupid company. FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU!!! Because of China, I am ashamed to call myself a Chinese. I don't have that Chinese mentality. Imagine the Chinese people charge tourist for taking pictures with their kids. I won't be surprised if there is a pawn shop where they can pawn their children for some extra cash. The world is evolving, humans are becoming more SOPHISTICATED, CIVILIZED, but Chinese nationals are going the other way. I won't be surprised they'll start living on trees once again and eat raw meat, and by that I don't mean Sushi. Amnesty should boycott them, UN should boycott them, U.S. should boycott them, the whole world should boycott them! Fuck cheap labour, we can get that in Thailand too. Boycott China-made products and then the quality control, ethics and corporate governance will come in
