Sometimes..

I find it exceedingly infuriating whenever I hear people who tell me that : Help! My PC spoiling "liao"

Anyway, apple is going to release new iPods in a few hours' time. FInally I can ditch that 2 week old shuffle and 6 months old ZEN for a spanking slim/sexy nano.

Fu*k you, creative.

really stoked. really.

in less than 3 weeks i've already dropped my laptop twice.

damn those drops made me lose a few Rating points for the Vista's rating system..Nevertheless still impressive though..
(all out of 5; possible to entend beyond 5)

Processor(AMD Turion X2 RM-70): 4.8
Memory(4GB RAM): 5.9
Graphics: 5.6
Gaming Graphics(Nvidia GeForce 9k series): 4.4
Primary Harddisk(WD 320GB): 5.6

A powerful computer indeed. But too bad Vista fails me. Am longing for a XP 64bit version.

The harddisk rating fell from 5.9 to 5.6

I know I sound really technical here, but my heart aches whenever I hear the harddrive making random clicking sounds.....looks like a harddisk failure is imminent.

untitled..

I've noticed (together with others) for a long time that I have a certain flair when it comes to tech related stuffs. It somehow makes me feel sad a glorious at the same time when some people make me sound like a "geek".

Not trying to be arrogant, but most of the time I feel I can replace the school's network administrator anytime. Today I got so fed-up with the virtually 100% downtime school Wifi that I actually ran up to him to demand an answer...

Surprisingly he didn't have that typical "administrator's temper", instead he sounded kind. I pitied him. WHen asked about the downtime, he told me that:

Oh, the school network is down currently. I did something to the network and it cannot work now. GIve me a few days.


I wouldn't take such a non-technical answer, so I questioned him further. He feebly replied a "err" and set off to point the wifi antennae towards my laptop.

Wtf?

I can also confidently say that I can take on all the technical helplines (you know those DELL/ACER/HP helplines?). Most of them are sad. As in they are most of the time so pathetic that they read answers from a premade solution sheet. I know that because all the solutions are so generic, and hence only applicable to "lesser" users of the computer.

after wiping off the dust from my blogger dashboard, I can only describe myself as being happy. The main reason being the impossibly neat new layout of it.

Life in school has become exceedingly overwhelming...especially when you factor in procastination. My situation has now become so bad that I started giving no regard to any tests (for today
s econs test, I actually slept at 10pm the day before - with zero remorse.)

Barely a month left to the promotional exams and I'm still struggling with procastination. Is indolence the originating cause here? Or is it a consequence of procastination? I desperately need help, or I shall be doomed.

I'm worried that I will flip once I see my exam results.

4weeks. It's going to be my last.

Live.Everyday.As.If.It's.Your.Last (It's going to work wonders, I'm sure)


Maybe I should start by imposing draconian rules on myself, or maybe convince my mother in a subtle way so that she would usurp all my remaining rights to works of technology.

shucks.

I think my torrent-ting habit is going to make me an internet amputee very soon..almost all my bandwidth is now dedicated to that alone..leaving me with a less-than-acceptable 10kbps surfing speed.

Am I trying to show off? Hardly. I'm just trying to say that I will stop once all the ongoing DLs are finished.


Oh yes, with regards to Singapore's performance in the olympic games...I just feel mighty ashamed..especially with ronald susilo, the one who Straits Times said would punish World No.2 today.

Oh well, my heart goes out to China's synchronised divers Guo Jingjing and the other person.


For those who are still harbouring hopes of Singapore (finally) getting some olympic medals, my advice to you is: Stop and avoid disappointment.

871

recently I've written tons and tons of reviews for softwares and games...well it's not that much. But I suddenly found a direction in life! Aha! Next time I shall laugh at those around me who would slog their guts out in office cubicles.

Moved up by yet another 3 million in rankings. How is that not an achievement?
