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.
