There's always a first time~
Silly as it sounds, I am relearning the ways of computing!
After much hem-haw, Jess bought me a new rig: Good news (or bad news) is, it's an iMac instead of a regular PC. It had all I wanted: Duo-core, 2 Gig of DDR RAM (we had to pay 305$ to upgrade it, some expensive) Paid another couple of hundred dollars to have a MS Office (what an irony). But all in all it's a comprehensive purchase. Builtin Webcam, Firewire, Speakers, Microphone, CPU and Monitor all into a slim (but heavy!) 17" LCD thingy!
New rig's really nice, however internet-banking is causing the system to hang. I had my browser hang on me a couple of times.
So far so good, haven't gone to 40 man raids with this baby. If there's anything to buy a Mac for, it's the sheer neatness. I only have 1 powercable from my monitor/cpu to power the whole rig. Really neat and tidy.
Anyway my new rig's really powerful..... the scary thought of development in technology. I gave up all my PC games (BAWL) and P* stuff lor.... But really an ease of mind with the lesser virus and security issues to worry about. Now I am stuck with pacman....
Ok, I will change my blog skin soon, but before that need to fix up printer!
Past few days.....
Jess took 2 days leave to have fun with me lol. Well, we certainly did. She bought me a nice 17" iMac which we lugged home by train. Truly amazed by it. :D We even had a walk around Sim Lim Square to source for alternative upgrade for my rig. We also bought nice mooncake which we ate greedily - the yam fried ones with yolk!
We sun-tanned a little on Rooftop on Thursday and had a nice tan. Now we know why my sister likes to come over and tan! It's really shoik!
Friday go and buy iMac lor. Then call up my mom and told her I am giving her my PC. Sobs.... 1.5g RAM and new 80g HDD. GOODBYE AND FAREWELL! It took like hours to transfer some 50g of data over. Also remembered to del my p*rn lah! We also queued up like 1 hour for our beloved mooncake. East Ocean is totally sold out (the brand we usually buy) so bobian lor. We actually went SLS->Eat laksa etc at OG there->take bus to Taka->Buy mooncake->Go apple shop at Wheelock-> Buy Japanese Nuggets from Isetan-> Take train home. I was in dismal seeing the sealed underpass to Wisma!
Wa, my arm almost broke lor..... so heavy. P/S Mum's really happy about the gift.
Saturday: Mum called up said she would come over and pick up the comp..... and cook dinner for us... I stared at my seasoned grouper in horror as I had wanted to prepare steam fish for dinner. Oh well. Her pickup was delayed due to over-indulgence in alcohol for her afternoon wedding lunch at Ah Yat Abalone Restaurant. Oh well, ended up we ate the grouper for lunch. Thank goodness dinner wasn't the same steamed fish. Mum also had roast pork meat as well as soupy Niang Doufu, she had cooked Black Mullet for us. Parents picked us up, went back my old house, packed shitload of clothes home. Found my iPod Nano. Yum. Picked up the trough of alcohol too. 2 bottles of whiskey ley!
Sunday: is_the_day_where_all_good_times_come_to_an_end
That thing came lor.. cramp like fuck. So annoyed and moody. Waited 1 hour for MC and it isn't starting. Went to bed but cramps keep going on and on. In the end dragged myself out of bed to go buy Dog food for the 2 darlings. So took train down to Bugis, did quite abit of shopping. Jess is still in the mood for buying a glass worktable to match the iMac.. GASP!
Finally purchased Helen the fox DVD, SQ21 and bought a feel-good book about dogs. Browsed at Kinokuniya cookbooks but didn't purchase any. Jess was in housewife mood and bought fake colored flowers for the vase that disguised our unsightly wiring at TV area. Adjourned to Sakae to eat but sashimi somewhat not so satisfying. Surprisingly she had Asahi Beer and good me had yucky artifical lemonade. Hahahha
Came back home and watched Grey's Anatomy Season 3 Episode 1 which in horror, was a recap of the past 2 seasons... :/ That was after feeding our dogs 1 dozen of quail eggs, which ended up mush on the bedroom floor twice. We suspect the separate contribution was from each dog. [sigh]
