Shopping & New PC

It’s spelled, F-I-N-A-L-L-Y!

Yes! We finally bought a new PC before the stupid GST hike (hates it).

Went out with Jia Ying and Yan Ting on Sunday for a shopping trip at Bugis Street but obviously it did not turned out very well. -.-’ Cos before I even reached Bugis Street, $48 ‘flew’ from my pocket. Not exactly ‘flew’ but was spent on the ink cartridges for my personal printer. Shitty. That left me with only about $70 to shop on.

I met Jia Ying first and we started walking around Bugis Street. We walked aimlessly and came to the sex toys shop (Is that what you call it?) but of course we did not enter (DUB! It states 23 and above, LOL). We just stood outside, looking at their displayed items. Jia Ying finds it very disgusting but I find it pretty alright cos if they can display it outside, it should be pretty okay. Haha.

I think I had been influenced too badly by my dear cousin, Esther. Haha. She had already influenced my poor and innocent mind with all these stuffs and of course many other friends and cousins who talked to me about everything. Lol. So, now I am open to such topics but only for close friends and my relatives. Hehe.

Okay, back to the shopping part. I bought a pair of sunglasses (don’t know for what), a tube top and a vest with a white top. Total damage done, $40. Actually I need bottoms as well but I just have no idea what to get at Bugis Street. What they have are mostly jeans or denim material bottoms. Those that are of a different or better material are either not appropriate or not within my budget constraints. Lol.

After which, I received an sms from my dad asking me if I want to meet him at Sim Lim Square to buy our new PC so I bid goodbye to the girls and ran off to meet my dad. When I reached, all I did is to choose the PC casing. -.-’ That is because my brother had already decided on all the PC hardwares and system and all I need to do is look at the casing since it will be mine (half). Haha.

Yes, half of it will be mine together with my laptop. Hohoho. So greedy lucky. =P I will be sharing the PC with my younger brother and I predict I won’t be using it too often since I am so used to my laptop now. Unless of course if my laptop decided to abandon me, which I still have the warranty covered, I will go back to the PC. Hehe.

Oh, did I mentioned about what my new PC has? Haha. I am not too sure either. =P I think we have about 2.512GB of RAM, 240GB/320GB of storage memory, a super good graphic card which has ‘GS’ behind, a pretty good sound card (external one on top of the internal) and some other stuffs. We bought a Prolink speaker (2.1) and a keyboard with a mouse were given free.

Luckily for the free keyboard if not we will not be able to use the new PC as the cable of our old keyboard is getting rusty and the new PC cannot sense its presence. Same for the cable of the shared printer. We replaced the keyboard and leave the mouse as it is because our mouse is so much better than the mouse that was given free. I think it is even better than my brother’s mouse. After all, it costs me a freaking $59.90 to get that to replace the old mouse which happened to go bonkers after my younger brother used it. The old mouse was bought by my brother, who I didn’t know only bought it at $39.90. My younger brother, fearing that my brother would go mad when he found his mouse spoiled after coming home from camp, pleaded me to get a new mouse.

Stupidly, I tried to find a similar one but did not realise that the older one is not for gaming and bought a gaming mouse in the end. At first, my brother did not notice the different but I told him honestly and he told me that the old mouse is not even a gaming mouse. -.-’ Lol.

The new PC had been connected to all the hardwares by my father and younger brother while my brother worked on his own computer. He bought a new and better graphic card (better than the new PC) for $490. =.= I did all the installation, from the system to the softwares. I think I am getting better at computers. Haha.

Oh yes, I always thought graphic card is only a small card about the size of a SD card but who knows that it is so freaking HUGE! Lol.

RIP, Ham Ham!

Ham Ham (March 2005 – 21st June 2007)

My beloved baobei, Ham Ham, left us today. 21st June 2007. We only knew that she left for the other world at 1.10am. Her body was cold when we found her. She will always be missed and loved regardless of where she is.

Ham Ham, I pray that you will no longer suffer in the other world and I am sorry for not being able to be with you when you are breathing your last breath. When I use the ice cream container to keep your body and close the lid, I was not only crying because of losing you but also that you are finally given the freedom to live in another world without anymore pain.

Ham Ham, I love you!

Cut off from the outside world

I remember the last time I felt that I was being cut off from the outside world is during my SIP cause there is no internet connection and all I can do is to email to my friends using the super slow responding internal email or send a few sms or make a few calls while I take small breaks from work.

Today I was really cut off from the outside world excluding my handphone and the door to the outside world. Lol. My internet connection and residential phone line was cut off early in the morning. Erm… no, we paid our phone bills promptly so it is not due to unpaid bills. Haha. It was cut off for other reasons.

We signed up mio plan recently and in order for the mio package to work, they have to cut off our connection and we have to wait patiently for the serviceman to come and connect everything again. Waited only for a few hours before the man came to set up our internet. Now everything is back to normal except I cannot stand the super slow internet connection that I am experiencing now. I just upgraded/downgraded (whichever you think is the case) to wireless and the connection now can only be described as ‘as slow as a tortoise’.

Another thing is now only one of the phone can work while the other 2 cannot be use. Gotta wait for my brother to come home tonight to take a look at the internet connection and my father to connect the phone lines. Lol.I am super ignorant about all these. Haha.

Now a little updates on my baobeis. Hehe. Ham Ham is now 2 years and 2 months old. That is like the maximum age of a hamster so I am expecting her to leave us anytime soon. She is still striving to live on. Sometimes when I see her, I feel like putting her to sleep. It is not because I don’t like her anymore but she is suffering too much. She is blinded since long ago and has a lump (tumour/cancer?) on her body. But she still receive lots of love from us. I can’t bear to take her life away when she is still being loved and striving to live. She should be given the chance to live.

Mini is growing sideways and ironically after that holiday trip not long ago, she became very active, quick and all. She learned a lot of funny postures and love to hit her bottle against the walls. Haha. She is very alert. As long as I go near, she will immediately sense my presence and look for me. So cute. =P

Nesie is growing sideways as well. She hasn’t been exercising like her sister and all she does is eat. Haha. I always caught her eating whenever I walked past her cage. -.- Lol.

Regarding Noby, she already moved to my uncle’s place a few months before. I did not get to see her but I heard a lot about her. She is enjoying her new home and she seems to be the ‘landlord’ instead of the ‘tenant’. Don’t understand why I said so? Haha. She is allowed to go to any spots at home and she is so self-centered that she actually locked the door to her cage when she goes back to her cage and open the cage as and when she likes. -.-’ Lol.

Most importantly, she knew what belongs to her and if you steal her vegetables she will glare at you and refuse to go anywhere near to you. Lol.
