College (Third Semester) -3rd year in Taylors-
God... it's been 2 years at Taylors... Time moves so fast... (and truth be told) it's been a roller coaster ride. I would have never imagined myself being where I am now doing the things I do and well... I just never thought I'd change so much in a mere 24 months... Since I left home, i've stayed out later (i used to have curfew at 6p.m!), I now drive a car (hahaha a dream come true... no more fucking public tansport! KTM especially!), I've gone clubbing (something I thought i'd never do until Uni XD), Found and lost love (AGAIN...), become more hardworking towards my studies and a bit more mature in thinking and action... I've changed my hair colour a lot too XD gosh, red, purple, blond, (pink!? WTH!), black ash... Huh! A lot of things...
Even gotten myself into such a thing as cosplay and 2 years ago I could only have dreamt of doing such a thing but to say that i'm up there with the more experienced cosplayers is a feat. (Thanks a lot guys for your support and help! Couldn't have done it without ya!) Sigh... well... there have been some bitter moments in my life since I joined college. There was that time when my grandparents split... ha... ha... dark moments... but things worked out in the end. They always do right? Somehow... I can't believe I even passed ICPU (i didn't graduate because i'm taking extra subjects but I could've~).
Mmm... I just have moments of great Nostalgia... unlike most people who just miss their highschool friends, I've got it 3 times as worse. Not only do I miss my highschool friends, I miss my A levels mates and my ICPU friends who've already graduated... Most have moved on to bigger better things... and I'll be leaving my cosplay gang as well once I leave for the UK this coming September... Gah... memories are sweet but sometimes the void it creates can bring more pain that joy. *shakes head then snickers* Enjoying the moment right? It's all about the moment... I think that's why I always look up... and wonder... Am I truly content with my life? Or am I just caught up in the moment, content with what I have right there and then...
Anyways, enough of my aimless ramblings. I figured you guys would want something to read after so long =P so yeah, pick my brain a lil more if you'd like. Post some comments up! See ya next time ;)

New Year, New Things, New Faces.... NEW LAP TOP!
So yeah, I think everyone's got access to a computer these days. Internet line may not be as fast as you'd like (or as reliable for that matter...fucking streamyx!) but yeah, its better than 56k dial-up we used to have to deal with right?
Anyways, I have a lap top. M-life brand. Never heard of it? Yeah, see... I was kind of on a budget before and I just picked something that seemed alright and affordable.
http://bestari.net/shop/product_info.php?products_id=66
BAD MOVE... it was the shittiest piece of crap i've ever had. It was slow, prone to virus, the XP Operating System was unregistered and it got infected by spyware so bad that most sites with flash and other nice effects would lagg it up (face book and Potter's blog are an example). So yeah, dealt with it for a year...
God... I really wish I hadn't knocked my first lap top over and damaged the screen... it wasn't the best out there but at least it was reliable *squints* but since the 30th as of last year, I NO LONGER NEED TO DEAL WITH LAGG ANYMOARRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!! With the dawn of the new year behold!!!! My new baby!
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the Dell XPS M1530
Ho yeah!!! This baby comes packing alright! Although it isn't the lightest in its class weighing at 2.9kgs, it has a few tricks up its sleeve. 3Gig ram, 300Gig Hard Disk Drive, Intel Centrino 2 Dual Core Processor, 15' LCD screen with HDMI out and the best speakers i've heard on any laptop so far (they're not as loud as my SONY Hi-Fi In my room, it shakes the room by the way...) it's loud enough to have me listen to some conversations in a game whilst my friend play Devil May Cry 4 out in the living room with the tv's volume at 50 XD
Owh and did I mention this thing is thinner than most laptops. Look at the photo above and you'll see why. If you look close enough, you'll notice a slit where the discs are inserted. Thats right, no button on the side to eject discs which makes it a tad slimmer (or at least it seems to be). It's got bluetooth too, an 8 in 1 memory card reader, and surprisingly a finger print reader too for added security or if you happen to forget that awfully long password you set lols!
The screen is wicked clear and the graphics card is top notch too. Nvidia G-force 8600 if i'm not mistaken... i'm not too good with the inner parts of a com so much but based on what this thing can push out from my games, I can tell its decent. Call Of Duty 5 at high settings with no lag =3 I'm gonna test out Left 4 Dead later to see if I can get similar results there as these games eat a lot of ram and require really good graphics cards. Any suggestions on what to try out next? I tried Crysis as well... decent, but me thinks the graphics card isn't good enough to run it at maximum. High was fine but anything more and it'd be a tad choppy.
When I was looking for the lap top I was looking for 3 things, Weight, Slim Design, and specs that were for users who liked their PCs to be all rounder (work and play).
Well I found the XPS M1330 when I went to low yat. It was much lighter at 1.9Kgs and met my needs but the specs were a little off and the screen was smaller at 13'... So i figured i'd get the slightly more expensive model since my grandpa was paying XD and that was that. Now if only the budget was raised higher and I could get this baby
http://www1.ap.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/xpsnb_m1730?c=my&cs=mydhs1&l=en&s=dhs
Then again... the extra weight defeats the purpose of portability... might as well get a desktop right? XD I take that back, I love you XPS *kisses* thanks grandpa for the wonderful Xmas/Good Exams Result gift =) Best thing i got since the psp and PS3
