Mega Updates

Sorry my dear faithful readers. Was busy with many stuff recently. Work, games and dramas. =| Recently there are a lot of new game releases you see. Plus with a new harddisk, I starting to resume my Japanese drama watching again. Will try to come up with some reviews of some of them if possible.

Since usually my morning period is very unproductive, and I don't really feel like starting on the task I have in hand now, so I thought it might be a good time I update here a bit.

Let's see... my last post was November, and now already pass mid-Dec. What have I did in during this period. Nothing really special. But I definitely overspent for this month. Let me list down what I've bought this month and their agar agar damages.

Oven - $83
Mixer - $37
Mp3 player - $130
1TB Harddisk - $186
2x 1GB RAM - $34
GTA4 - $45

Ouch! =\

And yes.. I finally bought my oven. Then I started to play around with cupcakes. The mixer I got it during my 2nd trial.

If you notice why all no icing or cream on top. Well.... I couldn't get it right yet, so ya.. They were all bald. Will try again whipping cream perhaps tonight. Hahaha.. And that was the reason I bought the mixer. But seriously, mixing is really easier if you have a mixer. =D)


Now, let's talk about my new MP3 player. I bought this MP3 player from a Mass Order in a forum. This guy ordered from China and brought them in. It was like a plunge and see how this unknown brand and product will fare. Not bad, it's pretty decent enough.

The main selling point of this player is that it can play RMVB videos! But then... I always lazy to convert my videos. Then all those videos that I had resolution was kinda high, so it's really taxing on the processing power of the player. I really ought to reduce them before loading to the player.

It has a camera but seriously, it sucks like hell (as you can see from above). It's more like webcam quality, or worse. =\

But this thing has pretty good battery life. Playing MP3s, full to flat, maybe can last around 8hrs? Or more? No idea. Never really tested that. And this thing is really light. Very light, in fact.

Next month maybe should be getting a nice earphone for it. I hate those plug into ears one. My ear holes very small, plug those stuff in hurt my ear a lot. Need to get either those noise cancelling buds kind or those clip-on kind. Will look into it next month.


Next thing to talk about, MY GEEKY STUFF! I LOVE BEING OTAKU! Harddisk and RAM. Basically I upgraded my GFX card last month liao. All these were just for 1 game, GTA4. But bloody hell, this game really kan xiong on the requirement. Now the chokepoint is my processor. I have no plan of upgrading just yet. So forget it, I'll endure the jerkings in the game. =\

And now with 1TB HDD, I'm back to Japanese dramas again. Since then, I've watched 3 sets of drama liao. Woot~ I still got another 4-5 sets more to finish watch. OTAKU MAX~

Even though I spent quite a considerable amount of time at home doing all my otaku and girly stuff, I still got spend time with friends one okay! I still got go out with friends every now and then for dinner and stuff. It's just recently lah. Ever since I started playing GTA4, I tend to stay at home more. =D)


From now till the end of my finance month, I still got a few more stuff that I need to spend money on. Got 3x gift exchange coming up. Dinner here and there. =| Might be entering deficit this month liao. Never mind lah ah. Next year I'll start to save up more!! Next year.. next year... ... ... ... ...

Maybe I should really get a decent camera too. =X
