a little of swordfish and some old computer overclocking.

1. i cooked a little for chinese new year dinner. of course . where would be dinner without fish. ya know..
so i tried this swordfish i bought from sainsbury. thought i'd try out.. wah piang eh..
150gram of it.. cos about £3.27. T_T.
anywyas, fish is fish. i thought what can be so different from other type of fish.
i chose to make it a japanese marinated grilled thingy ..
and cooked it under the grill for about 20 mins. after it was cooked.
OMG... when u eat the fish.. it literally MELTED in my mouth. hum.. okies.. i've never been a fan of fish because of the bones.
so that's one reason i don't eat fish.
no no.. it did melt. other fish u can still chew a little bit.. but this one..... it MELTED .. anywyas, it was nice to eat la.
i had other stuffs as well, fried noodles, curry, some stir-fried greens, some eggs, some crabmeat ( those processed ones la.. )
and some icing cupcakes. too full.

2. i overclocked my old amd64 3000+. i had to do that because i was about to spend £600 for a new set. but lucky i thought of OC-ing before i did go to the shop and buy the components.
result, after 5 hours of tweaking and testings with the settings, i managed to get it to run it stable.
amd64 3000+@2.375Ghz.
the temp never went above 50. usually hovering around 45-48
the voltage was set to 1.65v. and i reduced the htt multiplier from 4 to 3, and my cpu clock went up to 250.
it was unstable when it was at 235 at 1.5v.. so i increased it.
i did ram as well.. not sure how i'm gonna fry my chip.. set it at 2-2-2-6 i think.
it did have some problems ocasionally freezing my world of warcraft game. but heck it's worth it.
my frame rate b4 OC-ing was about 8-23 in shattrath city. now i get about 20-40. varying depending on where i look.
and i managed to hit a high of 60++ in Arathi basin.
well worth it.. it gave my old amd a few more months of playtime. and saved myself some money in the process.
i googled for information on how to oc my amd. so it helped alot.

3. i've been to almost all the library in islington i think.
but somehow the reservation system is a little weird.. couldn't find out when my books are gonna come.

4. i scolded my colleague when he was trying to talk to me during lunch today. i dunno why la.. i wasn't in a mood to talk to anybody today.
(must be the male pms) anyways, *shrug* told him not to talk to me.
*it happens everytime i don't get enough sleep. T_T.
blame it on david eddings and his tales of the elenium and Sir Sparhawk.

oh did i say tesco at the end of bus 253 route sold pringles for 49p each can ? it was the 230g ones. i bought 8. BWAHAHHAHA
which would explain why i am having sore throat and ulcer in my mouth - not drinking enough water.

met a old lady who was asking me to give some of my croissant to the pigeons cos the pigeon lost a leg.
anyways, she told me she loved camden cos she was from there. ( she asked where i was from . rather she asked if i was from china. i replied msia. )
lol anywyas, i finished my croissant and then said my farewells. her name was patricia i think.
and the last time she went to paris was in 77.
nothing significant, but well.. it's one human interaction a year. completed my quota for this year.

Mr. Kipling's Battenberg Cake. looks nice..

hmmm been so busy on friday forgot to update. will post 2 post to console myself today. to the cake. cake looks cute. but tastes horrible. maybe it was because i bought it cheap from sainsbury . it's original price was £1.29. but i bought it for 49p. cheap as i was. maybe that's the reason the cake tasted bad.. but the expiry wasnt till anohter 2 days time. :P anyways, it tasted like smelled like cough syrup. u know those red coloured ones. tasted okays. the outer layer is just icing erm or rather sugar.. no ideas waht that was but it was SWEET. then inside, just like the normal sponge cake. all in all.. i wouldnt buy it ever again. :P here are the pics.

my boring weekend

i went to camden on sat and almost got rammed by a stupid green car on the way back. anyways, i was bored. and it was a nice day. don't know anything bout tour de france, or wimbledon. took my bike out. and cycled down towards camden. it was a change from cycling to work. i spent £7 in sainsburys cos they were having a half price sale on john west's tuna in cans. the usual price is about £3.19. bought some stuffs.. ( coulnd't buy a lot cos i don't wanna ride home on a punctured bike) but i bought too many as well. i bought jaffa biscuit for 69p. for 24 pieces. finished it b4 sat was over. took some photos on the way. went into o2 to see if i could get any nice phones for free. turned out that i couldn't because i havent paid any phone bills since last year. looks like i'm gonna hvae to switch my sim card to a pay as you go thingy. then i went to the outdoor emporium to take a look at the karrimor travelpack. i dunno why .. that one seems to call out to me other
