OK, OK. Lets change the topic to something more happy and joyful ok, shall we? We’ll start with my romance. Don’t be shocked, this is normal for teenagers to fall in love and like the opposite sex. First, it happened on Saturday when I finally took up the courage to call Pei Wen when my dad went to the market to buy groceries. Unfortunately, the call lasted only about 15 minutes as my dad had returned not long after the call. We didn’t get to chat much. The second time was during Wednesday when my dad went fishing. I broke my record of chatting with her via telephone when I chatted with her for almost 1 hour. This time I felt that I have treated her badly for I have never called her before because of shyness and fear of the price of the telephone bill yet she had called me about 4 to 5 times to chat with me last year. I never had the courage to ask her out on a date too last year. Briefly speaking, I seldom had a good long chat with her before. During the recent exam, I didn’t chat with her at all because I did not want to disturb her studies. She was really angry with me since that onwards and told my friend that she would not like me again if we split up one day. Well, to be honest, I was really afraid and nervous when my friend told me that. So, I think I should do whatever I can to redeem whatever mistakes that I have done to hurt her. During this recent holiday, I didn’t have the chance to ask her out because of a few reasons. First was the fact that one of our teachers in the tuition centre had to take her diploma and would be absent for 10 days. So, Jian Shi and I were ordered to replace her for 10 days. The second factor was the fact that there was a book fair at the KL Conventional Centre which I did not know until she told me about it. Besides that was the fact that the book fair mostly contained Chinese books and that’s another disadvantage for me who do not know Chinese. The third was the fact that I do not where to ask her out to since there weren’t many movies to be seen now. I’m afraid that she would be bored of places such as Times Square again. I also haven’t told her about the present that I bought for her. I still hesitate on when, where and how to give her the present. I’m still wary about whether she would like the present or not. I intend to give the present to her during her birthday which is on the 18th of June. I think I really like her this time and I do hope that she would be my girlfriend and I could hold hands with her soon.
Apart from romance, there was another thing that made me happy. It was the time when I bought my first MP3 at last Thursday at Low Yat. I have been aspiring for an MP3 player since last year since it would come in handy to remedy my boredom if I go to somewhere. So, I went to Low Yat with Durian and Goat to buy Yu-Gi-Oh cards and an MP3 at the same time. Well, first we went to the Esquire Kitchen to have our lunch. It was my first experience of eating there since the foods were expensive. One bowl of Braised Pork Noodles cost me around RM8 including the service charge and the government tax. Before that, I thought that Esquire Kitchen was a Korean restaurant. Later we went to the card shop. Just as we entered, our eyes stick on the board stating that one packet of cards containing 5 cards that were wrapped in a transparent plastic cost only RM3. At first, we thought that those were lousy cards that people have no interest in and couldn’t be sold out. Later, we discovered that some of them are actually cards in English versions that are damn useful. Some of the cards that I bought which were useful were as follows:
a.)Legendary Sea Ocean
b.)Gagagigo
c.)Sakuretsu Armour
d.)Wave Motion Cannon
e.)Winged Minion
f.)Minor Goblin Official
g.)Twin Swords of Flashing Light
h.)Arsenal Bug
i.)Dark Dust Spirit
j.)Legendary Fisherman (bought from Liew Hui)
These are the cards that I bought.
On the left is Neo Daidaros which is my pirated version, you can determine by looking at the sticker below the lower right of the card while on the right is my Legendary Fisherman.
I was also amazed and astonished by the beauty of my strongest monster card in my water-type deck, “Sea Dragon King-Neo Daidaros”: Ultimate Rare, selling at RM20. If only I brought a little more money!!! After admiring the beauty of the genuine Neo Daidaros and comparing it with my pirated version of Neo Daidaros, I have set my next target of shopping which will be a whole new genuine water-type deck selling at stores at RM70 which will include all sorts of rare water cards such as Levia-Dragon-Daedalus, Sea Dragon King-Neo Daidaros, Mobius The Frost Monarch, Torrential Tribute and many more. Next, we went to buy some games and software. I bought a new Mcafee Security disc which includes every latest security software that Mcafee offer and Hitman Blood Money. The antivirus ran smoothly on my PC but the stupid Hitman Blood Money can’t be read by my DVD rom. How am I going to go Sungai Wang to exchange a new one? After that, we went to our last spot of the day, Low Yat. We strolled for an hour at that place just to find an MP3 player which was good but cheap. Most of the good ones were which was around RM230 slightly higher than my budget of RM200 while the China branded types were only RM100+ even for a 512MB. If only I brought a little more money, I could have bought a nicer one such as Samsung or Creative TX FM instead of the plain and dull-looking 256 MB Creative Muvo Slim which comes only in silver colour which I bought for RM180.
vs 
Indisputably, the graphic performance that the PC platform currently features is far more better than the conventional video game platforms such as PS2, X Box, Game Cube and Game Boy. Those astounding graphics were actually generated by one of the hardware in the platforms which is normally known as graphic cards. The latest video game platforms were powered by graphic cards from two competitive companies. Sony Playstation 3 will be powered by the latest Nvidia Geforce 7900 from Nvidia while Microsoft X Box 360 is powered by ATI X-1900 from ATI. Both offer the most powerful engine to generate the most demanding and realistic 3-D graphics for enthusiastic gamers. Currently in the PC platform, the most powerful graphic cards were the 7 series from Nvidia and the X-1000 series from ATI. These amazing products are highly-priced that anyone who wishes to own one of these monstrous products must have at least an expense of RM600 or above. Anyone who has these products on their machines are damn rich and lucky bastards such as my friend, Goat. During form 2, he owns a Nvidia Geforce FX5500 which was a good graphic card back then. Later on, I counter back when I bought my super powerful Asashi PC, powered by an ATI Radeon 9600SE which was the lousiest card in the 9600 family but slightly better than his Geforce FX5500 when tested using the 3-D Benchmark 2005. I got a score of 480 while his only got 200. After I installed the latest driver a year later, my scored boosted to a score of 980. He envied my Asashi and bought a new high-end Nvidia Geforce 6600 a year later which scored 1400. This year, he changed into a more powerful Nvidia Geforce 7600GT. You can say that the card is 10 times more powerful than my old ATI Radeon 9600SE. His 7600GT supports the latest pixel shader 3.0 while mine supports the predecessor pixel shader 2.0. It’s the core speed of 400+ mhz and a memory clock speed of 1000+ mhz while mine only has a core speed of 324 mhz and a memory clock speed of 179 mhz. How can this be? My Asashi was defeated by an unbranded rojak PC. Never mind, because I shall avenge my Asashi buy upgrading it to an unbeatable state even by those rotten Dell, Acer, and HP.
