the lead-up and a new thing to buy...

Ok so CNY was pretty okay. Not as noisy as the previous years', but still fun nevertheless.

Now on to the current. As you all know, i have a new laptop. A company laptop. Well, it's made me realize something. It's better than the one i currently have at home.

Now on to the CONSUMERISM part.

I want a new laptop. I want one. A new one. Something that i can at least play some DECENT games on, like F.E.A.R or something that has 3D graphics in it. Im sick of plain ol' NOTHING to play on my laptop bcos my HDD is already full. All 80GB of it. And in case you dont know, 80GB is NOTHING in today's world.

I'm targetting a 17" LCD screen laptop, with 4GB RAM, a Core2Duo processor greater than 2.0GHz, with a fucking dedicated graphics card and 320GB HDD space. And all this... for LESS than SGD2000.

Possible?

I'll give you a moment to think about that and come back to it later.

Today's tennis was the most exciting shit i have played in a long time. To be honest, i was off-form and LK was ON-FORM, this equals EPIC upset in the making.

But no, he didnt beat me. But he made me look really STUPID at times, which is the highest compliment i will ever give to someone.

I still won. but it was CLOSE. 6-4. I need to play more.

BUT... that won't happen AGAIN. Bcos the Sixeff gathering's been pushed FORWARD to this sunday... which means... haiz... no tennis... AGAIN... gawddamnit... why does shit always happen?

Also, last week was awesome, almost ALL the bosses were on leave... and this spells MAJOR and BlATANT slackerage from the entire department, which is always cool and shit. I actually saw one of my engineer bring a pillow to the office and lay it on the table and slept right there after lunch. Oh well, nothing to do i guess. That's great.

Now, back to the laptop.

YES, it is possible. In fact, I just randomly surfed Dell's website again just to put it together... and YES... it will cost SGD1938. Whoopee-fucking-doo. Let's do it!

song of the day is "A Little Too Not Over You" by David Archuleta...
