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.

of brussels sprouts and racial features.

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 ...

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...
