update + new computer

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.

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
