Infections and Improvements

You know those times when you wake up on a lazy morning, and wish that everything was right in the world, sighing sleepily and staring out dreamily at the ceiling....


then *SMACK*

reality hits you back at the face and you realize you have a freaking long and tedious day ahead of you..

well, yesterday was one of those days...
and, it was one of my rare OFF days that I was forced to take... heh heh...

sigh..

My computer got infected with a superwurm, akin to the VBS.SOLOW wurm, which infects hard drives, except this worm is galaxies apart more powerful... it systematically infects a majority of your startup .dll files, then proceeds to copy itself into all your other hard drives.
Relaying itself as a harmless autorun virus, the moment your antivirus software targets it, it retreats into "Windows system restore", and lodges itself into a permanent, immovable "restore point".

Whoever said restore points were harmless?

Anyway, once it occupies the immortal throne, it proceeds to become malignant. It infects any hard disk that comes in contact with it and makes replicas of itself in the thousands of .dll files on the system32 folder.

Even hard disks with no system options are infected...

Thats why when I reformatted my computer, it was to no effect at all.. I was just toying with a time bomb that was waiting to explode on the slightest touch...

... now all my documents are gone...



... i really don't wanna dwell on it.

I still think that this whole virus thing is a pet project of antivirus companies all over the world to force us to purchase their product and cause us to live under the fist of fear...



... on a lighter note,

I've finally broke through my bench presses, I can now do a minimum of 43 pounds a side, to a maximum of 60+ pounds a side...

Was doing my reps yesterday and realized that curious discovery... usually I'd just like go around my usual static routine... But i accidentally (in my semi-depressed state), switched the two 10 kg plates with two 15 kg plates.

... I barely even noticed *(yes. I was that.... deep in thought).

I'm also starting to switch from my bicep isolation routine to tricep extension routine to compensate for lack of strength from my upper arm flexors, coz I'm having trouble increasing stacks for my seated rows.
(The triceps are the stabilizers for seated rows).

and... I can't add anymore weight to the leg lift machines. I'm like lifting at 200 pounds and the machine won't let me add anymore...
so I'm increasing reps instead of adding weights.
The funny thing is that my quads never seem to add on more mass. I think its because I run too much or I'm doing in wrongly...

But then again, how wrong can you get doing leg lifting?

so there ends my anaerobic routine.


on my aerobic routine... well, I'm running at a consistent 9:58-10:15 for 2.4 km, and having no trouble with 7-10 km running.
I still can't get over the dizziness after running more then 12 km, so I think I'll stick with 10 km only..
On another note, I've been reading an increasing number of articles condemning long-distant running... and they're quite credible.... so I think I'd stick with short distant sprinting instead.

there're like two 2Lts who run with my every Mon, Wed and Fri, and they're freaking zhai lah... I thought I was not bad when I ran 9:58, but those 2 were like sprinting in front of me all the way lah..
And the worse part? They were waiting for me, even had the energy and breath to talk to me and goade me to reach the finishing.

heh. Nice guys.




oh well... my computer repairs is going to bankrupt me for the rest of the month... with a mere service fee of $120, excluding having to buy new hard drives...


arrgh.

and oh. I got that virus thanks to my mum.

yes. my MUM. When I was helping her wash the dishes.

no. I'm kidding. I got it when I was helping her type out her haphazard hospital schedule, which originated from her hospital computer.



how ironic. the hospital cures viruses, but can't cure their own computer viruses.




heh.
