Let's get on with it

11 Aug 2009

After a rather UNenjoyed holiday weekend, I headed back to my workplace which I left my footsteps on 9th Aug 09, 1400hrs. The weekend was spent working... Hunting down tons pieces of files and papers... Till I dread the thinking to heading Toa Payoh this morning. And it turns out real hectic even today...

But during the busy hours, I still forked out sometime, reading online Straits Times. Feeling heart-ache for the massive destruction done on Taiwan, China and Japan. After catching clips of what happened to Taiwan over the weekend on TV news, I started following the status of the current natural disaster.


The fiery waves swept past the low-lying areas, the gust of wind, the bodies of innocents floating above the water mixed with soil... For once I thought I was looking at a new Natural Disaster Movie (e.g. Day after Tomorrow..) But stood in front is Reality.


It just seems to me that GOD is doing his population control of Mankind during this period. With additional factors like H1N1, the process seems discouraging for the surviving us.

Not only these, our well-known personels have also left us.

Crossing the half year mark of year 2009, with those news occuring, I really hope we should have lived happier.





Unfortunately, we can't.

Good to be back~

3rd Aug 09

Finally I'm back here.. Surfing the net effortlessly.. Without having to wait for my sista's laptop to boot up for 15minutes.

Finally decided to fix up my 1st DIY desktop after getting my bonus on July! Just wanna post this entry for recording purposes (just in case I lost my reciepts). So this is what I brought at Sim Lim Square, after my findings, research from the net and HardWareZone :

AMD PII X4 955 BE + Biostar TA790GXE 128M - $435
Team Elite DDR2 2X2GB - $80
Seagate 500GB SATA2 - $82
CoolerMaster 310 - $69
I managed to buy the last piece of SF4 promo pack :
Palit GTX260 896MB
SonicAerocool E85M 550W
SF4 game - Bundle price $399

Total price : $1065

Being such a miser, I ended up staring at my bank book of how easily my bonus got 'leaking' away. But with the process of research till the date where I really made my purchase, I thought I learnt quite a bit. Fixing up those hardwares, 'digging' further into ways to spruce up the performance of my Processor chip.

Sense of achievement~ Let you see some photos of my new 'buddy'

My graphics card

AMD X4 955 Processor chipset

My CoolerMaster big fan w/ Power supply

My MaMaBoard plus all internal organs of my CPU

I really found lots infos on HardwareZone forum. Not really that difficult to fix up a CPU, but difficult to boost the individual parts. (I feel~) Now I can play my Sims 2, thinking of buying Sims 3 soon~ *Woo~ Download m0vi3s... etc..
Finally achieving another target this year..


Speaking about Year 2009 Target.
Other than this CPU, I also did obtain some achievement in my career. Bearing some labour fruits finally. And that certainly give me another strong push to fight harder during this recession period.


Another target!! I finally strike 4D in Year 2009!!!
*This can be counted as a New Year Resolution right?


To hold on to dream, turning them into reality really take tons of efforts. It's never easy. I'm glad I did it~




P.S. Anyone interest to buy my Street Fighter 4 (PC Version)?
