went to sitex today with edmund, hanmeng and leslie.. met at bedok int, leslie late sia! somemore he stay bedok.. tsk tsk tsk.. anyway, had lunch at the bedok int de hawker ctr. i ate cutlet chicken rice wif mayonnaise sauce.. quite good, i mus say.. and affordable @ 3.20 oni.. but can see, wif all these rising prices, food prices oso nt spared.. hais.. made our way down to expo on bus 38. damn long sia... shud haf taken mrt -.-"
quite alot of ppl at sitex there.. guess everyone is looking for that cheap bargain. hahaz.. went arnd and scouted for our respective "target". hm and his gps, edmund and his thumbdrive, leslie and his mp3 player + hdd and my own ram + hdd..
ok la, in the end, bought my 160gb hdd at 75.. quite cheap i mus say.. rewards for holding out for 1yr? last yr the price was like 1gb 1 dollar... 160gb wud set me back upwards of 150 dollars.. now, only half the price.. cud be partly due to the emergence of larger capacity drives (cue 1TB drive -> OMMMMMMMMMMGG!!!!). settled for the 75 hitachi drive over maxtor's 79 and 89 models.. figured tat i didnt nid something fancy (auto backup, one button power up thingy?), jus basic drive to store my stuff and backup important info (y do u nid to backup ur backup aniway? wanna backup ur backup's backup too? -.-").. and hitachi aint a shabby brand aniways.. ^_^
my ram was a more straight forward buy, not many shops were offering ram, i guess.. only those "main" computer shops.. jus went to this shop wif a big kingston logo (always trust the best ;) ) and bought mine lor.. 18 bucks for 1 1gb DDR2 533mhz ram.. same for the other mhz but my motherboard can oni support 533, so buy higher oso no use.. bought 2.. so now i got 2gb ram! wooohooo! can game abit more liao :) the installation was abit hard tho... cos my graphic card was blocking the ram's release hatch.. zzzz... and i was too lazy to remove the graphics card.. (not to mention the possibility of it not working if i put it back wrongly).. took me arnd 20min.............................. urgh.. ok la.. now its up and running.. happy! dota anione ? =P
