The house's monthly electrical bills evens out to be around the 200 dollars range.... even though it's only my mom and me living in this house and its not like she uses elecricity that much (other than the tv and fan and sweing machine.
So how?.... how can this be? this... 200 dollars figure on this slip of paper?
My mom doesnt knwo the naswer yet.. she think's its my aircon usage (6-12 hrs a day) but no.... it's not.... the answer?
Mein Bereich.
Yes... my area.. this... computer desk is a.... a powerhouse!
wires! plugs! lights! whirring fans and electricity surrounds my work area and yes... i believe that i'm slowly harming myself with all these potentially harmful electromagnetic fields.....
This entire week were days after days of great "Leaps of Improvement" (just another one of my passing phases....).... My computer has received soo many upgrades! I thought it was only this beautiful GF6600GT card which lights a cool blue onboard LED light whenever the comp is on (ah beng-ish, i know... but it's still cool) but NO... it NEVER stopped there...!
In fact, i tried my hands some more on overclocking.... my CPU.... graphics.... RAM... FSB and all that nonsense to get more POWER (and more heat... and more risks of frying my components) and tweaking Windows XP and the nVidia drivers and games and mnitor refresh rates that finally... yesterday.. i thought EVERYTHING was gonne be perfect for my comp. Things open and close like a well oiled.. umm.... rifle (here we go again...) ..... audio is so crisp and clean.... refresh rates are pleasing (85hz monitor overworked to 97hz on 1280x960 resolution!!) .. games are a s smooth as can be with all these new technology and high overclocking rates for this beautiful card... and wow.... plus the presense of two monitors infornt of my eyes... what else could be better? *and i also cleaned up all the dusts clogging up the cpu, psu and gpu fans, now i have a much cooler comp.
MORE could.. really...
I was bathing this morning and i was thinking about my area and how else it can be mproved (aside from dusting, cleaning up.... deco.. bla bla...) and YES..... in addition to the fact that my father is brining back a THIRD monitor from kuching TOMORROW (which i will be replacing this lousy lcd screen because the highest resolution it can give is 1024.768), i thought of maybe buying another monitor from someone i know.... who else?
WHO ELSE but SIR LATIFF, my one and only male NCC officer (sorry, i dont really recognise the rest.. except for Mr. Hiew... :) )
Beginning of this year, i transferred my comp to the NCC room in school with the reason that i needed to edit videos for the CCA open house in a "clean and quiet and condusive environment" (actually my mum had the habit of banging my door whenever it's locked and keeps claiming i'm surfing porn so i HAD to get away form her. She's more quiet now.... =p. I surf porn? hmmm)
So Sir graciously lent me his 19 inch CRT monitor to use during that period of about a months or so ( imagine... wearing that visitor's pass for month.... the clerks didnt even care if i took it home... i'd just be back again the next day...lolz... ) and i liked it a lot.... i can see more htings... games look much more... crispy... (i know i know! i the correct word is "crisp"!)
so anyways... Sir was nice.. i was actually preparing to expect a 200 to 300 payment for the montior if he agrees to sell it but guess what? SIr just sms-ed me and said,"you can carry it home for free".
WOOTZ... LOLZ.... so 'there! almost complete! my SURROUND GAMING set up... THREE CRT monitors! TWO videos cards, TWEALED video driver settings and a whole arsenal of gaming accessories like 3d Stereo glasses, headphones and a mike and a black cap to match (or a 1970 helmet if the situation calls for it.)
and to add a nice soothing touch to my area, my trusty tungsten IKEA light which acts as a nice soothing ambience lighting once shined against the wall. The stupid flourescent light hasnt been on for ages....
What's more... my router.. an old one... my father was nuts about wireless technology (which sucks...) when it came out so he transformed the house to a hotspot as a testbed for plans he's thinking for the hotel (as he usually does). uh.. okay.. extra info.. lolz... anyways that old faggot (the router) passed away... i went out of the room, told my mum about it.... in half an hour we were out to get a new router.
:)
and i fixed it up.. miraculously (since routers always have an attitude problem)... and now i'm enjoying FIVE times more my previous bandwidth with a nice name i put as my connection id; MeinBereich.
And there;s no password! come on everybody!! use my hotspot!! lolz
Superb.
And now... i'm tweaking my laptop.... clearing stuff up.. defragmenting... registry cleaning and all that plus graphics driver tweaking and stuff.... it seems to be running smoother now already. And i have another monitor in the corner.. could hook it up.. and there.. TWO gaming systems! oh and waht about the comp in my sister's room? and th eone in the study room? WHOO HOO.... FIVE gaming systems! -.-
okay maybe one hardcore gaming system, another gaming, one text/audio player machine and another for just browsing the net. :)
----------------------------------------------------------------
WAIT! i'm still not done with my technical talk!! (lolz.. my technical period is here...)
i've thought of my dream PC... and upgrade from this two year old Acer ASpire (the only thing original from the 2002 is the main board, cpu and cd drive.)... okay i'm gonna change my motherboard (mobo) to one with HYper Threading technology.. which means that i can add in TWO processors on one comp!! it's like.... i can add a 2.7ghz and 2.7ghz processor to get around 5.4ghz PC!! okay maybe the value is a bit lower in real practice but whatever... The main board costs around 160.... CHEAP....
THen i woould need another processor, yes? Sure.. what's the price?
GASP....
400 dollars?!?!?
so whatever... i still want that freaking mobo and cpu by ermm.... New Year... yes! that's it... NEW YEar!! my birthday's near there as well! Then i'll be turning 18.... and going for driving lessons....and smoking with Vis (lolz jk.. he's not smoking for now... i heard he's been changing his wholeself for the good of good) and maybe going to clubs to laugh at pseudo-drunk people.
560 dollars.... perfect...... that's about 2 months 2 weeks of my allowance...
---------------------------------------------------------------
Today was also another big day..... i FINALLY played with a SINGAPOREAN, the game, OPERATION FLASHPOINT....
and the first ever person goes to.... drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......... Jia Hui of Yio Chu Kang!! LOLZ.... Jia Hui of Yishun; Where The Beng's At.
Imagine.. i had to wait four years to play a local multiplayer server for htis game.
Superb.. this freaking game gets better and better as time goes by..... just play the freaking demo! endings are infinite! whatever! i'll post a video now (22.2 mbs)!
I sold Jia Hui my Geforce Mx440se card for about 35 dollars (a loss? sure... but whatever.. anything to make people happy.) plus lending him the entire Flashpoint package which i bought back when i was 13 years old plus the most recent patches and best mods around.
lolz fun.... I'm not really a multiplayer guy (anti_social, i_am) cos i jsut fear the superb thinking and control of an average person armed witha keyboard and mouse and a really good fps game but i must say that playing with a rela life person is very very very very exhilirating.
I hope to see more Flashpoint players as well. SO i heard Jason Zhang wants to play... hmm good... another pro gamer and Mac user.. lolz....
People handling Macs somehow have a different way of working than those with the ever troublesome Windows. We Windows user do love to multi task though..... a lot. and troubleshooting.. and upgrading... and money waving.
Flashpoint has an open source engine so you know what that means.... more adddons.. mods.... upragdes.. physics... AI.... technical data.. bla bla.... :) sweet.
In fact... i made a face texture of a picture and Javis ( one of the best people ive ever met to ever talk about serious matters ) and here it is.... :)
----------------------------------------------------------
Okay back to the ground.....
VIDEOs..... AH YES....
V I D E O S.
I'm literrally gasping for air with the amount of video requests i'm receiving from the crew and friends and family.
and i just found out that my 120gig hard drive is soon to be full. A simple pie chart shows me that the bulk of the vidoes (50gigs? whee) are related to the Savage Cravings project which is, by far, has the most comprehensive coverage from projects ve been in starting from its pre production stages to its productions stage (post production.. no have...)
so much material... so much content... and i'm squeezing it all into a nice 4.7 gb cd.....
I cant wait....
Then there's a video request from my father on his johor house... then there's that NVP1 project to run... then there's that superb-english action-suspense storyline Thena sent me yesterday night that got me thinking of how we little "amateur project crew" could shoot that and bla bla bla.... projects ....
--------------------------------------------------
and my timetable's out (since a very long time) ... and it seems like i'm having about 5 hrs at MOST in school... or is it 8? lolz....... back to secondary school hours... lolz...
But i think it wont be tat slack... with Studio Productions and all....
and sadly, i think the crew's not gonna be in the same class anymore.... well.... fark...
--------------------------------------------------
And tomorrow, i shall talk about how not having a bed... is the BIGGEST mistake anyone could make. (real life experince told first hand!)
and plus (!), the experience of a guy who never left his house for three weeks and finally meeting the real world in a fateful day!
So how?.... how can this be? this... 200 dollars figure on this slip of paper?
My mom doesnt knwo the naswer yet.. she think's its my aircon usage (6-12 hrs a day) but no.... it's not.... the answer?
