~~new graphics card~~

woh00.. bought a new graphics card on monday.. sapphire radeon x800xtpe.. the BEST fastest card available in the retail channel right now.. other places selling for 1000plus, but i found this shop in sls at fifth floor.. 'DAT'.. selling only 915.. actually going there to buy only inno3d geforce 6800gt selling for 705 only.. then in the end decided that the radeon x800xtpe is much value for money as it's betta and offers 2year warranty compared to inno3d 1 year.. then i bargained abit and got the price down to 903.. hehez.. shiok.. paid liao go home install and its working great! got a great boost in my 3dmark03 and 3dmark05 scores.. more than double than my previous sapphire radeon 9800pro flashed to xt.. tried doom3 and i having much betta framerates now.. able to run smoothly at 1280*1024 at ultra high quality and 4*aa 8*af.. hehez.. damn happy.. just that i wanna overclock it more but think betta not cos i neber install a good aftermarket cooler.. think when get new com when ord then at the same time buy new cooler and fix on it and then overclock, since now overclock also not much improvement cos there is a bottleneck on my cpu as it's only 3.0c.. wanna overclock but sianz, intel to me is lousy overclock also no use so dun waste time and money and effort to install betta cooler to overclock ba..
been reading reading reading up lots lots lots stuff on a64 sc939 overclocking and the components to buy like aftermarket coolers and rams.. really excited at overclocking.. my newfound interest now.. will wait til ord then buy, assemble pc altogether by myself, then overclock it to high speeds.. including my graphics card.. now becoming more and more knowledgeable about overclocking pc and the impt stuffs to buy to put inside.. ;)
told my dad bout buying new com, assembling it altogether, and overclocking it and he din say much.. just said good learn to assemble can help ppl do and earn money like those ppl in sls.. then told him today, he discouraged me from buying and we quarreled.. haiz.. really hate quarreling with him.. he said he just say *nicely* ask me not to buy but i raised my voice at him.. to me, it might be the case, but i think i remembered his tone was very unkind as well.. that's why i raised my voice.. i din ask him for money for my 800 monitor, 600 speaker, 100mouse, 409 graphics card, and this present 903 graphics card.. and yet he.. forgot wad he said already.. just said sthg i disliked.. then say i so much money can pay for the broadband and hp bills myself liaoz.. i was damn angry at him, i guess if i dun start paying myself, he will use this as a 'ba bing', and always raise this up whenever we quarrel in future.. so might as well i pay, dun owe him anything.. then he cannot say anything at wad i buy liaoz.. my mum dun say anything he always kpkb.. hate that.. next time when i become father liaoz and my sons or daughters is 20yo liaoz will let them have their way.. i will talk nicely and just use a soft approach if i wanna tell them anything, unlike my dad.. so rude!!.. can't stand him.. anyway i dun feel like talking to him liaoz.. anyway i dun NEED at all to talk to him.. we have nthg to talk.. talking with my mum is much betta.. hmmph~@@!!!
tmr got bbq jc friend gathering.. wonder how things work out.. maybe they will be staying over at my place.. see how goes..^^

hmm.. sun.. i remembered i burnt the xp sp2 cd for weiteck and met him at khatib mrt and passed it to him.. he brought his last year christmas present for his friend.. hahaz.. some handiwork which i find quite nice.. and he told me this year christmas she cannot spend the time with him cos she going out with her friends.. poor weiteck.. i helped him carry his stuff to his friend void deck and then went home cos i go his friend house also of no help.. might as well dun go..
4got wad i did on mon liaoz.. just slacking ard.. but tues i was busy with uninstalling my norton systemworks 2004 cos last day of subscription to the antivirus updates.. i remembered last year when i uninstall and reinstall again the subscription period renewed.. so i decided to try the same thing.. but this time round it din work.. haiz.. so i went to d/l install avg antivirus, but could not update and was bery slow, so i uninstall and tried antivir.. but got some cockup also.. in the end i kept reading reviews bout various antiviruses software, and tried avg again.. this time it was fast and could update.. i guess cos earlier on my internet connection went out so cannot update ba.. i also wasted a lot of time doing a lot of stuff on my com like trying out crapcleaner, and reinstalling norton systemworks w/o the antivirus cos i like the windoctor and diskdoctor and diskdefragmenter.. and i also in the evening read up alot on pc parts cos i going with my cousins to help them choose a new pc.. then i also talked crap with june a long while before resuming my searching of pc parts.. slept quite late, ard 3am..
woke up and went to yishun to meet june and ate the yishun nice hokkien mee with her for lunch.. took bus to queensway cos she shopping for a bag.. then we walk walk walk walk walk walk and in the end she bought a red adidas bag while i bought 2 shoes for 100bucks.. then we went to ikea which was nearby cos she said she wanted to buy some photoframes.. in the end we jus walked ard the whole of ikea.. legs so tired.. she neber really wanted to buy photoframe.. bluffme.. then was contemplating whether wanna still go town at taka to look at betta stuff to buy as christmas presents when we decided to just go have dinner.. walk to some hawker centre eat dinner then go home liaoz..
met my cousins at 11am at bugis mrt.. we went to the bugis hawker centre and ate sthg first before going sls.. then we went to fuwell and i acutally wanted to help them choose the athlon64 3200+sc939 processor, but too bad, all the combo for sc939 or 754 no stock.. either got mobo no processor, or got processor no mobo.. finally decided on the p4 3.0e.. haiz.. and after choosing the case and making payment, we walk walk looking at many lcd.. finally went back fuwell bought the philips 170c5bs.. i also bought one cos my bro wanted to buy one and my mum paying for it.. i also bought the altec lansing atp3 from fuwell for only 63.. hahaz.. after buying everything, we went down and ate sthg before taking a taxi back to their home in jurong.. then i did a full format of their hdd, and installed the os, and installed the hardware bundled software, and my own burnt cd of good, essential software.. they bought for me dinner cos i was doing till bery late.. then finally completed everything and they insisted on paying for my taxi fare cos it was 1145 already.. reach home and helped my bro install his lcd also.. dunno why so sleepy and tired liaoz still slept late; at about 3.. surfed net on more hardware stuff..
hmm.. my bro woke me up at 12.. quite a long time since he actually woke me up; usually is me wake him up 1.. hahaz.. really shag.. then surfed net a while and went with him to chong pang and collected our contact lens, then went to ssc and collected our preordered christmas food from giant.. took a cab home.. now really sianz.. later going down for a run, then maybe sleep.. still sleepy.. ~~~~~~~

~..!....

hmm.. uneventful thurs.. din do much.. but fri afternoon went back camp actually to sign the confinement thingy that we have to sign when we got confined but last week we din sign, so i was told gotta sign by tues morning.. then weiteck was going back to clear his cupboard cos he ord on sun, coming back on mon to get his pink ic.. and he jus had an operation on mon to cure his sweaty palms whereby the surgeon pierced a hole thru his lungs~vomits~.. then cannot carry heavy stuff so i might as well go back help him take and then sign my thingy.. then later was told that i din need go back sign anymore cos wan teck helped me sign already.. but i went back weiteck nonetheless cos he accompanying me to go to stefanie autograph session at heeren later.. i went to have my lunch at the canteen while he went back bunk to pack first.. saw zhibin and ken at the canteen playing some coin games.. hahaz..

anyway, after weiteck packed finish his stuff, we took a cab to his home and put down his duffel bag then we went to sembawang sun plaza but there was no more stefanie new cd album liao for weiteck to buy for her to sign.. no choice we headed down to heeren where it was raining and i went to queue up first while he went to buy the cd..
hmm this time stefanie turned up only a little late, not like half and hour or one hour late.. so good :) and i realised that they let those who bought the cd from HMV queue up first to get the autograph by means of giving out coupons to them.. i feel that its really unfair.. those who bought the cd on long ago are really more loyal supporters than those who bought in HMV on that day and could get the autograph first.. haiz.. wad to do.. stupid marketing deal by HMV and stefanie company definitely.. sianz.. but in the end i got her autograph though i could not see her sing; only heard her sing cos my queueing place was blocked.. cannot see her.. then when she turned up her head to thank everyone who got her signature, wow.. i really wanted badly to capture that moment.. she was really beautiful.. budden, haiz.. cannot.. they say must let the ppl queueing at the back sign..
hmm after the event went with weiteck to far east and had dinner.. some hong kong eating place in a corner of far east.. proceeded to his friend's house who needed a bit of hardware pc help..
but i could not help much cos she wanted to install a dvdrom and dvdwriter.. in the end i just look at weiteck install.. din do anything.. then after that we went drink some tea and the 24hr kopitiam and went hm..
hmm.. dunno why cannot sleep when i soooo tired.. haiz.. thinking bout many things.. stomach upset as well.. then finally managed to sleep half consciously at 3am, but woke up at 5am to go do big business.. then think 7 am again got 1 more.. haiz.. whole day could not sleep.. woke up at 10.30 and changed my fish tank water.. my pearl arowana and 5minus1=4 oscars.. haiz.. 1 small one died recently.. then surfed net a while and then tried to catch a wink but could not get to sleep.. then went to buy lunch.. came home and played game for a while.. then evening went out with mum to buy lens for my bro.. i also ordered 3 pairs of coloured lens cos got this offer of 3 pair for $50.. then we bought fish bee hoon for my bro dinner and we bought $10 of durians home for our dinner.. i had this craving cos looong time no eat liaoz.. eat finish then now nthg to do.. haiz.. tmr maybe help out with weiteck friend pc though i'm of no help.. and also maybe meet jf return him his money.. sianz.. next week dunno whether my job application with june will be granted anot.. else a bit boring..
