Watched, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, my first R21 (Rated for 21 years old and above) show. Show lasted quite long, I estimated about 2 hours and 45 minutes. The font part was a little bit draggy, but overall, the show was not bad, interesting storyline and the ending was like WTF.

Pre-ordered my collections edition of Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars from Software Boutique. Paid a $10 deposit and I didn’t even ask how much the game is because, I will buy it regardless of the price. I am a huge C&C fan and I collected almost all the C&C games. Hope C&C 3 will not be disappointing.

It is human’s nature, blame others rather than investigate what causes the problem and solve the problem.

As you all know Thailand’s relationship with Singapore has reached the all time low especially due to Shin Corp issues, Thaksin came to Singapore and of course Thailand defeat to Singapore (1-2) in yesterday soccer’s match.

To make matter worst Mahathir add oil to the already started fire. Anyway, I never like him in the first place. He is about 80, going to “up lorry soon” and still as usual being such a busybody.

These few days, Singapore’s weather has been so cooling and windy, I simply love it. I do not even feel the heat.

OMG, I just realized that I can get Microsoft Vista Business Edition from my school for FREE, I am downloading it now, too bad it comes in 5 CDs instead of 1 DVD, but it is better than nothing. I am still deciding to install it on my home computer or my laptop.

So far I am very satisfied with Dreamhost customer support. Filed in 3 support tickets within the week and fastest reply I got back was like within 15 minutes, slowest was within 24 hours (to me it is fast).

Site was down this evening, it took them 45 minutes to detect it and get it back up which to me is also considered fast.

They support custom DNS which I use it on WordPress Singapore to allow user to have the name http://YOUR_NAME.wordpress.sg.

I am getting the hang of the ability to host multiple websites =D

Thumbs up for Dreamhost.

After a little more than a month worth of holidays, semester 2 of academic year 2006/2007 finally started today. Must work extra hard this semester, hopefully can pull up my crappy GPA of 3.18 to maybe about 3.2 or 3.3. Bit by bit, before I graduate hopefully my GPA can be above 3.5. All of my modules this semester are mostly theory based, unlike last semester where I spent so much time on CS11o2 and I only get B+. That sucks.

Caught One Last Dance, 茶舞 at GV Marina and that show sucks. It is too artistic for a normal movie goer. That was the first movie I watched in 2007 and it sucks.

Posted my dream PC specifications a while back in August 2006, and some of the specs seems a little bit unrealistic.

Have been doing some research recently. The Intel Core 2 Quad which will goes into main stream sometime this years is called Kentsfield (Core 2 Quad). According to Wikipedia, the 2 main models are Q6600 (2.4GHz) and Q6400 (2.13GHz). Kentsfield is not really a true quad core processor, it is just basically two separate Conroe (Core 2 Duo) cores in one socket, and there will be a bottleneck in terms of bandwidth.

On the other hand Yorkfield (the successor to Core 2 Quad) is a true Quad Core processor and it will support DDR3 memory (1333 MHz DDR) and PCI Express 2.0. According to VR-Zone. the extreme version of have a clock speed of 3.46GHz-3.74GHz.

Here is the more realistic specifications of my dream PC in 2008.

» Intel Yorkfield (3.2GHz)
» PC10600 DDR3 1333 (2 x 1GB)
» 1TB SATA III HDD (2 x 500GB)
» ATI/NVIDIA Graphics Card With 1GB Memory Supporting PCI Express 2

I don’t think I need a dedicated sound card anyway, the integrated sound chip by RealTek should work just fine. And I think getting a single good graphics card is better than getting 2 average graphics card. The future of ATI CrossFire and Nvidia SLi doesn’t look that good.
