update on myself.
being busy with karate and work and studies( which is not very much i only do my assignments on the day i need to hand it in .. T_T)
i'm still alive and well.
My last time in doing an impulse buy was when i wanted a new computer to play Rose Online. even though i had a intel p3 then it wasn't enough.
so i went to the computer fair that was held in some school halls every weekend and bought my AMD 64 3000.
it has come a long way since then. in its final days of serving me, i had it OC'ed to 2300 Mhz instead of the 2k mhz which one was it i can't really remember.
i needed them to play those HD animes. but it wasn't sufficient. even though my AGP card was quite good. X1950 ATi. which i think costed me 150-170£ ..*gulps*
which helped me when i was playing wow.. i previously had another Ati or nvidia which the fan stopped working that's why everytime i played wow it hung..
okok enough about the old one.
ahh those were the good old days.
Sunday, i was itchy. i've been eyeing on a new build since january but i held off as i had prior commitments.
as i calculate and consoled myself .. etc..
it's too heavy to bring on the plane. it's cheaper to buy in msia. etc etc..
then finally i gave up. i calculated. i said wth.. and bought my new build.
i bought a lian li casing - which is pretty amazing i think ( my first proper casing after so many years.) pc8B,
here are the other list of stuffs i bought.
q9650
MSI P45D3 Platinum
4GB ( 2X 2GB dual channel DDR3 OCZ 1066 )
His IceQ 4 4850 Turbo.
which brings the total damage to about £710.
i must say it's pretty sweet. let see how long this setup will last me..
next thing on my list is a QoS router.

news of recent collective redundancy about to affect me has changed my perspective on whether i want to continue staying in england.
i'm not sure yet if i will be made redundant yet. but with that note, i've put my cv up to monster, jobserve and i forgot where else.
i think last time what i did to get the job was to apply directly. because job agents cost a bomb. which reminds me i should go to reed to check.
if all else fails, i really really want to try out working/living in japan.
but alot of ppl will say it will be a waste if i just go since i still have 2 and half years to go get my PR. if they don't change the rules again that is.
so i'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.
i tried to apply for the jobs in japan before about 2 years back but then i withdrew my application because i was scared.
okies.
1. i want to go japan. scared i too old to go there and work later.
2. i'm currently having a new thing sorted out for me if i don't go to this new thing, then i can start apply for japan job if i get made redundant la.
3. if i don't get made redundant, i get offer from another one in london, i go.
4. if i gon't get redundant, i don't get the visa covered by the one in london,i can still stay on until something happens.
5. i'm quite bored with life in london now. why ? - because there's no change.
6. extremities thats why. i need an extreme change. gradual change at the moment does nothing for me.
7. so what will it be. 2.5 years more for something i don't think i really need if id on't intend to stay.
8. or apply now for japan trip and then if i get it, leave in 6-9 months ? is that ok ?
9. if i don't get it, stay put until something happens ?
10. besides, i'm still taking my open uni course.
11. all this hinges that i'm good enough to be selected to be working in japan.
12. i got a msian house loan i need to kaotim. apala..
13. msian car loan kao tim end this may.
bah humbugs. !!!
