And all's plain sailing..

Been playing my games hard this past few days.

GTA 4 is a great time-filler. Hehe.. gotta start getting on with my Fallout 3 missions. Somehow, felt the urge to play PES 2009 again.

Yesterday, I was amazed how Singapore won the soccer match against Indonesia. 2-0 final score. A Bhaihakki Khaizan header and Shi Jiayi freekick, sealed the game. Good in defence for Singapore, but shitty in the attack. Heh! Let's just see how far in the tournament they can go...

Hari Raya Haji was just another day.. just went to my aunt's and.... that's all. I'm back in speaking terms with my girlfriend. Don't wanna make anymore silly mistakes.

Yesterday too, was a rather lucky day for me, as I got to head home earlier. Somehow, I got 'recruited' to help with the company's Suntec exhibition event. Left off from there at about 5.30pm.. earlier than my usual 6.30pm timing. Reached home... for the 1st time,.. at 7pm! Heh.. Anyways, the exhibition booth for the company, somehow, ain't as nice or interesting as I had anticipated when I came down. Pretty plain... toooooo bad the company is not able to overshoot their budget to get a nice looking and more spacious booth. BUT IT AIN'T CHEAP THESE SPACES AND BOOTHS.

By the way, those interested to know about Adobe CS4, I've managed to have Photoshop CS4, Illustrator CS4, Premier Pro CS4, After Effects CS4 and Sound Booth CS4. BUT, the crack doesn't work for now. Hehe.. found out.. you need to switch off the Adobe Updater. For now,.. I just need a new serial key.. switch off the Adobe Updater.. and everything else will work fine..

Not to worry.. though alot more icons and features this time around.. it still does not stray TOOOOOOoooooooo far from Adobe CS3. Hmm.. once everythings ok.. my girlfriend will try it too. She loves editing pictures.

Hmm... I'm starting to think of getting the new Intel Core i7 processor and the motherboard to support it. Its gonna be another worthwhile investment on my part........ again.. haizzz...

Money,.. I need you real bad!

Love ain't peachy

The worst parts of any relationships.. are when you fight between one another.

Nothing ever goes right when this happens.

Vent out my sadness, my frustration.. by jamming with my friends at the studio yesterday evening.. My emotions, love, anger, hate, obsession.. all went into my voice and the song I belted out. That's when I realised again.. how much I want to cherish my girlfriend..

I love her and I will always want to be part of her life, ever so often.. I just have to be a better man.

By the way,.. my friend's band, V, consisting of Alfredo, Dan, Deb, Mal and Raz.. made 2 new, record worthy singles. Too bad.. I wish I could load it up here.

Well..

Why does this always happen?

Why do I always make her angry..?

Why do I always do this to her..?

When will I stop this nonsense..?

How did it all come to this..?

Is my love-life gonna be like this all the time..?

Why is it me.. who always make things go wrong..?

WHY DO I ALWAYS SAY THE WRONG THINGS..?!!



Think before you say or act.. Now figure yourself a way to get her talking to you again..

Finally!!!!

I've finally,... after nearly about 6 ~ 7 months of speculations.. have my hands on the one game I've always wanted!!

Grand Theft Auto 4.

And its on PC!.. WOOHOOOO!!!!

(here's hoping, I don't have any lag heh..)

Hahaa.. enough said man.. you know I can't wait to play..

and.. I am hoping my girlfriend gets well real soon.

I miss her.

Alrighty then!

When I bought the MSI N280GTX Series Graphics Card last Friday, I thought I had prepared all the necessary things for it, like the power supply, the CPU space and some other smaller things.

Apparently not! I didn't do ample research on what IS required for the card!

1. I did not check for the PCI-E Power supply, whether there was an 8-pin connector plug in my Power Supply Unit.

2. I did not check that it requires a 6-pin and an 8-pin connector plugs to power the card.

3. I did not check and get any advice from my friend, who is well-verse in these matters.

When I brought the card home, I naturally started opening my CPU casing and started loosening the screws of my previous card, unplugged and took it out. Place my new card in and realised that there was a lack in space as my Hard Drive was in the way of the card (its really huge my Graphics Card.. nearly can't fit into the space). So I had to, naturally move the Hard Drive to a lower deck (as I have a few more decks on my Hard Drive compartment of my CPU casing). I unplugged a few cables and wires.. until I accidentally unplugged the wires which link the Front Panel console of my CPU Casing to my Motherboard. Then, everything couldn't start up at all! Haizzz.. so I waited 'til the next day.

I called my friend over to re-attach the wires, to at least just have the computer running. Then, my friend assessed the new Graphics Card and made some advice of what to get and where to go. And so we went to Sim Lim... only to realise that the necessary PCI-E Power Supply Connector 6-pin to 8-pin Adapter was not found! I just couldn't believe it! All the money I spent on had gone to waste, 'cause I couldn't use the Graphics Card! My friend suggested another alternative, we headed home and I tried it, but it did not work. Last resort,.. called the shop I bought the card from. They HAVE IT!.. and so,.. as they said.. the rest is history! Haha..

Frame Rates look better now. I can play at higher resolution and still not have as much lag as before. The best part is.. Heat is not an issue!

At normal, low power mode, the Graphics card produces an amazing 55 Degrees. And when, I begin my 3D gaming, it slowly rises to 78 ~ 80 Degrees. But rarely have I seen it go pass the 80 Degrees mark. And all these temperatures were generated with the usage of just the stock fan attachment of the Graphics Card.

So I tested all my current games on my computer and all are now playing at higher resolution.

Man, do I feel satisfied with this card! Hehe..

Just yesterday, I bought myself Fallout 3 PC and I'm addicted to it already. Nearly thought of just staying home today and play.. but.. well, responsiblities kicked in. Hahaha.. and I just can't wait for Wednesday! GTA4 is gonna be released for PC!! Finally the long wait is gonna be over soon, and I can enjoy the game now with great graphics! YAHOO!!!

Woohoo..

Finally,.. after a long 4 months wait..

I can finally get hold of a Nvidia GeForce GTX 280!

The Graphics Card of my current dream! Haha.. Getting it tonight after work. Haha..

All $685 to get it!

And a dinner date with my girlfriend at Pizza Hut. Somewhere in town,.. if I can find it. Haha..

By the way,.. I'm just pissed off yesterday, when I was told that my cousin's dad said to wait for the payment of the tablet. And the best part is the person I'm getting my new Tablet from is selling hers at a good price too... but limited time. Haizz.. I just don't understand, I'm selling at an already wonderful price (..making terrible losses here..) and still can't fork out only $100. Knowing the family,.. they have alot of cash in the bank. THAT'S WHATS PISSING ME OFF! Haizzz...

Oh well..

What happened suddenly?

I got so pissed when I headed to Sim Lim last Saturday. The prices of many computer items have gone up! Damnit!

My potential graphic card now, from $655, went up to $685!

I don't understand.. in just a space of 2 weeks. I'm getting my pay most likely this week and I'm gonna spend more. Shit! Thought I could save abit this month.. but its highly unlikely.

Another disappointment is that.. Need For Speed Undercover sucks! With an average score of about 5 ~ 6 on a scale of 10. How can this happen again? I have always supported EA's Need For Speed series, and ProStreet being the one I hated most. I urge you not to get Need For Speed Undercover, but instead, Midnight Club Los Angeles. EA's gonna suffer now!

Now, setting my sights on GTA4 PC. It's coming real soon.. heh..
