island tales #58

well, i'm back. anybody missed me??

*deafening silence* :p

haha. anyway, it's been a long weekend. if this weekend was a dish, it would be a sweet and sour chicken. erm. right after i posted that friday post, things at work rapidly went downhill, and that one day pretty much ended my 4 month run of enjoying going to work. im actually dreading going back now, and feeling pretty sien about everything. sigh.

gah.... sucks... sucks... hope things get better.

but.... every cloud has a silver lining! and im pretty sure i've never been a good enough christian for most of the last 21 years, but sometimes i just gotta admit that He has a pretty good knack for cheering me up when i'm down. in this case, my new computer is finally back! :) and it cost RM80 to repair, which means it was a cheaper lesson than i had dreaded. very glad the nightmare is finally over, too.

this was taken a month ago, when i first set it up. a very trying time.

and this is it! a 3 gig processor, PCIe, SATA, dvd rom, DDR RAM (finally), and USB 2.0. sighhh... thank God everything turned out ok.. :) it's as fast as i expected, though it's also as hot as i expected.. and when running SpeedFan (which measures the temperature), the cpu temperature sometimes leaps to 80 degrees (!!!) for brief periods of time. i hope it's an anomaly! everything runs fine so far, so fingers crossed and keep on praying. :P

oh yea, and of course, we had a visitor this weekend. brought her around penang, and we had this HUGE meal at the food court near Northam Towers. (is it called Northam Towers? something like that, anyway). it's right next to the straits of malacca, which is pretty cool. wanted to take pics of the food, but i never brought my camera, so no pics. use your own imagination. ;)

watched 2 movies too: the american version of dark water (the japanese version was a whole lot creepier, but this one's pretty scary too) and a dvd of final fantasy 7: advent children, complete with crappy subtitles. note to self: watch everything again with subtitles that make sense.

* * * * *

it's gonna be a busy week, and im not looking forward to going back to work right now. sigh... i've also got a car service due next week. oh well.. that's it for now.
