  • updates

    ahhhh monday. another week of slaving. promotion seems closer now; it’s silhouette floating just beyond my view. and yet, i am unable to reach out to it, just to touch it even seems hard. sigh sigh sigh. well, to start of the day, i’ve been updating some stuff on friendster. adding friends, updating my…

  • bloody mcds

    ordered 2 bubur ayam. arrived late. with most of the gravy spilled to the bottom of the plastic bag. seems pretty obvious that the mcds delivery team lacks a certain level of commitment to do things right. all the other established delivery services from Dominos and Pizza Huts have somewhat adequate quality control to…

  • kids and managers

    what’s with kids and leaving the bathroom lights on? almost every other time i’d find the light on in the morning. makes me wonder if they have some sort of green invisible pet living there. it’s not like it’s hard to get up and turn it off. and feigning ignorance won’t work; my sister’s…

  • errors down south

    susah susah. my pc has been crashing relentlessly lately. i may have pushed it too far. my graphics RAM now runs properly at a lower clock rate, and prime95 has been giving lotsa errors too. checking back my documentation, i guess i set the timings too tight. so my graphics card is broken, and…

  • away from work. not.

    today begins a week of training in Bangi. this time, we’re to be taught how to prepare and deliver proper presentations. 5-days of topics covering ‘basic’ skills. on friday, a final presentation to determine whether we’re fit to teach (and get the teaching allowance! :D). not as relaxing as i thought it’d be. even…

  • finger safety

    last night i almost ripped my right index fingernail off when it got caught in my cpu fan. was investigating a rattling noise (which originated from my northbridge fan) and thought i could stop the fan by sticking a finger in. smart, eh? well, looks like i won’t need to change my cpu casing…

  • asyik-asyik overclock

    back at 3.6 GHz again. no point spending hours testing the system after each 1 MHz FSB increment. instead, tightened the ram timings, minimizing memory latency and increasing bandwidth. something else i might try is to up the frequency divider of the memory to make it run at the same ratio as the overclocked…

  • 6-feet from the edge

    actually, more like 5 MHz from my overclocking limit. seems that my bro played BF2 today with the [FSB] at 250 MHz, i.e. CPU running at 3.75 GHz. crashed twice. returned home from work, ran torture tests via [Prime95], and errors popped up. i think the problem here is that the current [motherboard] i’m…

  • the trip and more

    so…. we left home very late last friday, at about 9pm. there was so much of cleaning up to do, that very little attention was paid to packing. my mom cared to remind my younger siblings, and left me as i should. problem is my mind was rather preoccupied with something which i can’t…

  • back north

    i’m back. relatives in singapore nice. 😀 won’t say much now. got lotsa things to do: – read ptolemy’s gate, 3rd and final volume of the bartimaeus trilogy. – watch all of Mai-HiME. – finish playing Doom 3. – start playing F.E.A.R. 😀 😀
