ARGH!!!
Formatting C:\ was a big mistake. Lost all my bookmarks, history, settings(especially equaliser) and lots of stuff.
At least now i know its a hardware error and nothing to do with the driver.
FUCK!!!
At least now i know its a hardware error and nothing to do with the driver.
FUCK!!!
An Entry... For Now.
AHHHHHHHH!!!
Firstly, Your enlistment date is on 16-Jun-2009 BMTC1, 1PM.
THEY FREAKING CHANGED MY ENLISTMENT DATE!!!
Secondly, went for supper. Drove to WR's house, then to KY's house. Turned out to geylang lorong 22 and to geylang road, wanting to enter the pie via sims way to upper thomson road. There was a hell of a jam there. Note to self: Never go by geylang again, fucking nightmare. Then it happened...
About 300m from the junction of sims road in the middle lane, a sudden decompression of some kind occured. A small pop sound followed by huge amounts of white steam/smoke was seen from the left side/port of my car... First thing i did was check the temperature gauge, which i hoped was working. It said that the engine temperature was normal. That ruled out any possibilty of an engine fire. Next thing that occured to me was that the brakes were on fire.
WR lit the hazard lights while i turned off the engine and opened the door to check for any form of fire, none was found. Restarted the engine and proceeded slowly to the shell petrol kiosk which was approximately 250m away. While changing lane, a fucking inconsiderate van was trying to turn out from a small/minor road although i was in the right of way. Fuck him.
Reached shell and stopped. Did a more thorough check and found still found nothing. Phoned my dad and asked for advice. He didn't sound kan cheong and asked if the engine temperature was ok. I told him yes then he was like oh ok, so should be ok la. If u want u can drive back, and take your time. LOL admire him for being able to talk liddat in such a situation =/.
While driving back, i felt that the air con wasn't cold and concluded that the air con coolent may have been the cause and the white mist/smoke is the coolent escaping from the pipe.
CHIONGED back home and parked at lot 248. Took a silver kia cab to 246 upper thomson road. Damage: approx 10 bucks.
2 chio boos boarded the cab we took, damn lor, let the uncle zhuan dao...
Walked cross the road to ICE3 Upper Thomson. Had some food there.
Pics:
When there were lesser people at the prata place, we went there. I had a chicken brayni and teh ping. Too emo/sian to take pics.

Damned indian taxi driver driving a wish for trans cab took us for a ride to ky house... After that we gave distinct directions to him. Feel the kia's 0-60 speed is more zai than the wish's. Either that or the wish cab driver nvr pia gas...
Anyway, i have ran out of ideas for my laptop. Even as i blog, the screen is blacking out every now and then. My graphics is lagging also. For example when i move a window it will be very jerky.
So i have decided to format it later today. Wish me luck. If it fails I may not be able to blog for quite a while and will need to get a new desktop =/. Preperations are all done. Its now all up to my 3-4 year old laptop.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh BITCH
Today...
Went to play bowlin, with chun ming, kenneth, zhifong, bob and dexter, was quite enjoyable. Saved $1.20 by bringing my own shoes. Played ok, its hard to play with house ball once u get ur own... My fingers are small therefore i need to use light balls cus they have smaller holes. The balls with smaller holes have a small span, hence making it difficult to hook. Lighter balls also have a lower hitting power. Everytime i hit the right pocket (Therotically the right hander/rightie pocket), i get a 7-10 split. Hit cross and i have pins remaining =/
Headed to katong to play lan after that. We went to the east side fc lanshop first and saw this china woman sleeping on the job. Our presence kinda woke her up and we asked for the price. It was abit more expensive than the home of pool where we usually played. So we headed to home of pool where this ginna with his ah lian girlfriend greeted us, 'kiao kah' with a "No outside food and drinks allowed". Then some of our group did not have a home of pool membership and we unwilling to pay $1 for it or sth like that... wasn't too sure.
Seeing the crappy attitude he gave us, we walked out and back to the china woman where the service was considerably better. Played there for 3 hours. 1 game of versus l4d and 1 game of dota where we were winning (I was owning) and got disconnected cus time up =/.
Gaming there just made me feel the feeling of a new com. It was truly an orgasmic experience. The coms there were using a cooler master centurion 5 casing with a geforce 8800gt AND A 22" WIDESCREEN MONITOR didn't take notes of the cpu tho, but still damn swee lor.
Afterowning my friends that, we headed to ken jia to ma jiang. won 30 cents... When i was heading home, MY EZ LINK CARD FUCKING SPOILED... THE FUCKING SENSOR CANNOT DETECT IT... ARGH I HATE EZ LINK!!!!!!!!! Moreover, the DAMNED tiong driver told me from parkway to eunos mrt is A FREAKING $1.50 I WAS LIKE WTF?!
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH then ask him again and again, and he said $1. Nevermind. PAY LIAO THEN TELL ME THE FUCKING TICKET MACHINE SPOIL. KNN
I got tionged.

The Next Post
Disclaimer: If ure not a geek/nerd/computer freak or wadever, you are advised not to read this post. Thanks =)
Reasons that have been holding me back from buying a new com:
USB 3.0 to be out next year. Big problem is that a new 8 wire connector would be used, which would mean most likely that a different connector is used.
Sata3 aka SATA 6gb/s, which would mean current sata2 hdds would be old stock and the problem comes when the connectors change or are not backward compatiable.
Change of pins of the cpu for intel. If i get a future proof processor, which is the i7, the whole rig would add up to approximately 3k. Older processors like the core 2 duo or core 2 quad are using socket 775 which is about to be obsolete VERY soon.
DDR3 ram will become a norm soon. If ddr2 gets obsolete, the prices would go up and an upgrade of ram would be very costly.
Anyway, if i were to get a new rig, these and the most probable specs:

Been sick lately. Started last friday. Went to see doctor on monday. Apparently singapore is having its own kind of flu.
Went to eat fc2 cai png for brunch in school with joel because we were craving for it for the past few days, HAHA. On the train there, there were alot of people coughing and or having running nose. After eating we went to walk around and saw that a subway had opened in foodcourt 5 sellin their bread $1 cheaper than outside =S. Summore they were hiring!!! sian.
Anyway my computer's sick also... Or maybe i feel he is =/ Its quite jialat... worse than virus. If its virus still ok, cus i have my trusty kaspersky anti virus =D
Those flashes of black screen are occuring even when im like surfing the net and watching shows... I also realised i cant play any games besides flash ones and mayb l4d which i havent tried after patching to .13...
I have come to conclude that the cause of the black screen may be due to one or more of these reasons:
Disassemble laptop, clean and inspect everything
Pros: Fan can be cleaned, inside of laptop can be cleaned.
Cons: Very complicated process, may cause more problems if reassembled wrongly.
Moreover, if the fault lies in the gfx chip, it may go undetected
Format C:/
Pros: Highest possibility of solving current state.
Cons: Whole day wasted if current state remains unchanged. Will be using friendly version instead of non friendly.
Get a new com
Pros: ALOT
Cons: Cost (Which will be approx. 1.5k including monitor)
Might not be able to last for various reasons, these include windows 7, usb 3.0, sata 6++.
More will be said on the possible specs the next post.

- Gfx chip not functioning properly (May be pins shorted by dust/Heat issues/Due to aging)
- Driver corrupted (I have uninstalled and reinstalled countless times)
- Some other program that games/engines run on (e.g .NET Framework/C++ 2008) being corrupt

Updateee!!!
Worked at OCC on Wednesday (29th April 2009)
Worked withe ken and dexter...The event was damn big la... At first saw May Day Dinner... tot is organized by the country club so small event... In the end all the big shot got go like lhl, wks+++ and they actually call each other brother...
I was quite surprised tho, that 90% of the servers there are aunties in their 50s+++. They only know how to speak hokkien and abit of chinese =S. Then there was this drink server aunty, prolly my table the drink server, who was on hearing aid on both ears, and she couldn't speak properly summore. Quite pity her... Altho was abit dulan that my table and my partner the aunty table no drink server, dono is her fault anot... Then she was like super kan cheong... starting keep asking me to put the napkin on the guests... Then was like damn protective of her round tray, like only she can use it =/
Employing peasants to work for elites...
Overall i felt that my partner aunty and I did quite a good job, hahaha. She also first time working at OCC then i ask her thing she also dono... Then slowly get used to it lor.
Also chatted quite a bit with this girl that was the half deaf aunty's partner.. she was doing this type of f&b service line job for the 1st time so abit blur, then the aunty keep scolding her =/
I also dono y i nvr ask her number =S
Anyway when it was over we waited till 11pm zhun (Cus of the manager who kept us in until 11pm) then faster sign out and chiong for the shuttle bus... The girl and her friens nvr follow us... =( then in the end we took the last train to marina bay and changed to ew line =)
Overall i feel its more slack than wedding... Summore they screw up sia... At 1 point of time, ask us stop service then after awhile tell us go... then say stop again... then i was clearing the bowls ma, not very nice to clear abit then stop so i continued clearing then got this in charge pull me tell me stop... Then the next thing i know the half deaf aunty crash onto me... then make me drop 1 bowl... Heng the floor is carpeted... so nvr break :D
ok, thats all ba. Later today got kt birthday at eunos kopitiam =S
