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.

got my japanese visa.

1 year multiple entries. each entry 90 days. nice ! anyways, i think i did mention that japanese efficiency was also seen in the embassy ???!!?? alright, please scratch that. the time i went was early in the morning and i was one of the first person there so service was fast. i found the service to be comparable to other embassies where they are not really that quick.. well.. can't blame them just that it was my bad luck that my visa wasn't printed. 1. i went in the morning at 10 at stated on the paper. 2. she tried to find it.. couldn't find my passport. and then she said it's not ready yet.. please come back in the afternoon. T_T. (i shouldn't have woken up so early) 3. i went back to the embassy after lunch. took warren st to green park. it was stated severe delays but when i went on it.. it was quite quick. 4. i was the second in line to collect visa. not ready.. T_T.... he said.. 5 mins.. they are gonna print it now... 5. i waited.... 5 mins.... 10 mins.... 15 ...

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...

rain rain rain ...

i went to thomas global exchange on sunday. there was a long queue just to change money. so indeed my recommendation of the place was correct. it was in a quiet place. but it looked alright. there were lotsa ppl. and ppl who were walking past were very intrigue by this long line in front of a money changer. that's about it. i still need to change a little bit more. so i'll wait for my next round b4 i go there again. it was pissing rain outside. i thought i'd have to wait till it settled down. but as it is with london's rain, it just is not like the torrential downpour back in msia. lighting and thunder. yippee.. i used to hide whenever i hear thunder and see the lightning. and then i grew out of being scared of it. now i'm scared of a different kind of thing. that aside, nothing else is special. i brought food to work today. from the baguette i bought from somerfield on sunday. it was 62p for 4 wholemeal ones. i stuffed it with corned beef i bought from sainsbury. a...
