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.

i hate my kindle

- reason being i can't put it down when i start a book. and it doesn't make it any better that i can put so many books in there.. OMG.. i can just continue reading.. so far i've used the kindle for like 2 weeks ? or maybe a week.. since i hate it.. i'll say only the bad things i can find about it.. 1. erm.. when eating do not read. - makes it hard to wipe the oil stains off. nothing a cloth wouldn't wipe away. or maybe the hem of your shirt. 2. to jump flip the pages is a little hard. it's made for sequential reading. 3. dictionary is a little hard to use.. it doesn't let you highlight the word and checks it in the dictionary. 4. collections.. i have a few books which i loaded on it. but to actually navigate through them takes some time as i can't seem to organise my books via any book management tool. meaning they can't group the books by folder. kindle just shows everything in one big list. 5. it looks so cool that most of the time when i am readin...

living on a budget

£4 per weekday and £10 for groceries for the week. that's it's gonna be till sept. hopefully.. until i start to try shopping again .. -_- so far for the last few days has been okays. spent like £8 for groceries for this week. some beef, some chicken wings( which i completely finished during the weekend) which included half a kg of fruit and nut cadbury. today was 2 for £2 sausage rolls from tescos. nothing else happened. my friend's father died of lung cancer. i wish them condolences. it was so sudden apparently. but i have had no contact with them since i left KL/miri. i heard it from another friend who was in miri who msged me asking me about my blood pressure as he said he was scared now. i asked. scared of dying ? lol. anyways, it's best to be preventing than trying to cure it when it comes.. so i really have to switch back to no salt diet.. T_T kk that's it. season 6 of 24 was like erm... okays... it was basically a repeat of the plots.. hope that's the la...
