Its now pass midnight and i’m still at office rushing work thats due in less then 12hours. Tomorrow still got loads to do… i need to… *sigh*… forget it… i’m getting back to work!

YEAH! i got my new PC finally. Now i don’t have to juggle with 100mb worth of empty hard disk space, neither do i need to wait for 10mins for my PC to startup.

Alot of people think i’m good at buying a PC, but believe me, i’m really a nitwit at buying PCs, here is how i do it.

1. Ask a shop to recommend me a PC by telling them what i need the PC for. (to find out the rough amount of money i need to part with)
2. Ask around for a similar specification and try to get a better price.
3. Go find the best looking casing and buy it.
4. Bring the best looking casing to the shop that offers a good price + have an okay reputation according to friends
5. Pay
6. Go home

The specs is as follows:

• Intel Pentium 4 2.8C 800Mhz
• Abit IS7-E I865PE w/SATA/Audio/GBLAN
• TWINMOS 1024MB 3200/400 DDR RAM (512MBx2)
• WD800JB 80GB 7200RPM HDD
• SONY 1.44MB FDD
• Leadtek A360LE FX5700LE 256MB w/TD/8XAGP
• SAMSUNG SW-252 52x32x52 CDRW (2MB)
• One sick looking white plasticky casing that i must have
• -SGD$1,298.00

I don’t know if its a good buy or not, but i know now i can work more efficiently = earn more money! yeah!

I’m fed up with my 4 years old PC and its time to buy a new one! I’ll be in PC upgrading mode, hence i might be out of touch for a few days… i’ll be back!

I have finally got myself another pair of Globe Shoes, this time its the Chet Thomas V as compared to my previous CT IV. I wanted the RMS4 at first, but after trying it, i think its not as beefy as the CTV + they did not have the colour i want. Anyway… I think its another SGD$149 well spent! YEAH!!! now i can wear my jeans again.

I feel in love with the Loewe Mimo 28 with its rack 2. All thanks to my friend who now works at Atlas Hi-Fi.
