Happy =)

This is a good weekend for me. Last night, I had gotten another new mouse, the razer salmosa (asian gaming edition) from sls, and then headed over to Pierside restaurant to have my sumptuous dinner at Fullerton.

Man, the Cod Fish was just heavenly! I have never tasted such nice fish before lol. It was just this good. And the other dish was the kurokawa pork, which I believe is the black pig I heard from one of my friends before. That was nice too, but I still preferred my cod fish haha. After the dinner, comes the Guanaja cake from Rive Gauche. It was a nice chocolate cake, with melted chocolate on top, and a biscuit (mcvities?) as the base. The best chocolate cake I have ever tasted =)

Next stop is Equinox! We went to the City Space, a nice cosy bar whereby we got to enjoy cocktails and mocktails, and also admire the beautiful landscape that sunny singapore has. Saw LY and MY there, so we sat together. And chatted till 2 am! Gosh, I was dead tired by then haha.

I tried out the new mini salmosa I got, and loved it. It's small, light, smooth, and just simply pleasant to use. Gonna sell away my A4Tech mouse, since it doesn't really suit my hands.

I had just come back from christina 21st birthday party at SMU Settler's. It was my first time walking through SMU concourse. This concourse links all the schools in SMU I believe, and is fully air-conditioned. How I wish NTU was like that lol. There were still significant number of people around campus, either studying or doing projects. Geee.

All in all, just wanted to say the weekend was just perfect for me =)

Carbonara!!!

Wheee, I cooked carbonara today for wood, clarisse, and alvin.. Bought spaghetti, mushrooms, bacon, 3 cans of sauce, broccoli, eggs, and added in the hams that were available in the fridge.

I started cooking at 515pm, and took around 2 hours! ZzZZzz, that was long lol. But the end result was pretty good! Tasted not bad! Haha! So happy with myself =))

Maybe I shall cook some at home for my family one day too ;P

IT Show 09

I had went to the IT Show at Suntec on Thursday 12pm, because I wanted to get that DLink DIR-655 router star-buy at 1pm at $139. It is really a good router from the reviews I read online, and am determined to get it. When I reached at 11.50am, there were already some people waiting outside to go in at 12pm haha. In the end, I managed to get it after queuing for 1 hour.

Then I walked around the show. Bought a 8gb sandisk cruzer micro thumbdrive and small laser mouse for my bro, Toshiba XD-E500KA dvd player for dad, and a WD MyBook Essential 1TB for my own backup and storage. I also got a small mini keyboard as a replacement for my current one.

Reached home, setup router and all, and realized that I can fully utilize my newly recontracted 8mbps singnet broadband in torrenting! The previous router I owned limited me to only 150 connections in torrents, which scaled back the full download speed my plan was capable of reaching. Now, I could open 2000 connections in torrent, and download at full speed! So many files were downloaded in just under 1 hour hehe.

I went to the show again on saturday with my family, and we bought a microwave oven cos our house did not have 1, and a 22" LCD tv for my bro's room. I also got a A4Tech X-718BK mouse to replace my Krait. In the end, we spent about $1k in this show.

The DVD player upscaled standard dvds and applied advanced algorithms to enhance the picture quality, which was quite visible. I wasn't very happy with the A4Tech mouse, as it now seems abit too heavy to use haiz. I got a new mousepad from cyberactive to match it, but it still felt heavy >.<

Now, I'm busy with eca, project, and finding jobs! Sian, can't find job yet. Cannot forget my driving too! haha..

Till then!

relaxation time!

Finally, the fyp is done. Finally, the draft report has also been done. Been rushing my fyp for the past 2 months. Even came back to hall on CNY day 1 to do it. After I completed the bulk of the project, on and off, I would head back and edit and make some enhancements to it. Other than the compulsory requirement of Google Maps, I added in a Chat Room and Forum to my Web Based Property Search System.

Come term break, and it was all assignments. After rushing through 2 assignments, I rushed through the draft report for the past 1 week. Did till 2, 3 am before I went to bed. So tired for this period. My prof had also asked me to go teach his DIP students on how to program Google Map, after seeing my work. Haha! I met up with them last Friday, and gave a 'lecture' to a group of around 15 people. All were from China. They really had not read up much beforehand I guess, and what I said did not make sense to them. I wonder if they would still have enough time to complete their DIP, as the prof is going back during the summer holidays, which explains why they are doing it so early.

Now that my draft is completed, I feel so relaxed. A heavy burden off my shoulders. But, still gotta find job!!!!!
