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.

brussel sprouts are in season i think. they are going for 1 pack for 52p. it used to be like 1/4 of the pack for £1. but now seems to be cheaper. oh yeah. it seems to be siu pak choi. but it just didnt opened. anyways, that nite i went to morrisons, to buy more food. but when i walked halfway i found out that i didnt bring my wallet.. ^$£"%$£^%$ but lucky i had coins in my pocket. all i had was 96p. how sad.. lol . i went to the store to look for nga choi. er.. whta they call them here.. i think some sort of beans.. they usually sell them for 45p. i wanted it cos i cooked chicken rice mah. but then they didnt have it. and they have mixed stir fried thingy which was £1.29. poor ole me didnt buy it cos i didnt have enough lol so i hunted for cheap stir fry vege, the sprouts looked like a cheaper alternative. well.. i bought it. cooked it ate it with chicken rice. next thing i knew.. i was down with a bloody cough. ugh.. lotsa phlegm. not sure how i got it.. but that aside, i've ...
