~* zhng my fan *~
my mobo chipset fan is almost reachin its end of life. kuku corbell (msi distributor) replaced my half-dead fan wif another half-dead fan from another user who rma for e same reason. wtf! they say e fan not in production liao. at that time, e replacement fan was slightly better den mine. so i agreed to change. if e fan stalls, jus gif it a tap n it'd spin back to life. until one day, my comp hang due to overheatin.
used-n-half-dead replacement fan
35mm, f/4, 1/180s, iso1600
made my way down to slt. so hard to find e correct dimension. i cant simply replace e whole thing unless i get one wif e exact dimensions cos if not it'll block e graphics card. after walkin into almost every shop, finally found one which sells 35mm fan.
new sunon fan
40mm, f/4, 1/180s, iso1600
but some work has to b done. had to cut off e fan housing n stick it directly to e heatsink cos it couldnt fit into e old fan holder. e new fan is slightly noisier cos it has a higher speed. which is good. more airflow to cool e rather hot chipset wif a pathetically small heatsink.
final product

~* shitex *~
went to shitex wif dear dear after her paper today. even though it was bloody far at expo n we're stil havin exams, i had to go down to get my stuf. cos i missed comex at suntec in sept. n y do i call it shitex? cos it's like shit. n i'm sure everybody agree wif me. can see from e crowd, or, e lack of it. even singtel wasnt there. maybe cos they had no business from comex most prob due to e odex saga. c'mon la. there was nthg attractive. e price was normal. some are even higher (cos e product is bundled wif "free" useless stuf, which is actually included in e price). n there were ppl promotin cars, car accessories, insurance, saving plans. wtf?! aniwaes, this is wat i got..
dell ultrasharp 2208wfp
y dell? cos samsung has panel issues wif 226bw, backlight bleedin issues wif 226cw, n i dun like e glossy screen of e 2232gw. so everybody is stayin away from samsung n recommendin lg l226wtq-bf. but i dun like its design. initially wanted to get dell ultrasharp 2407wfp which was super cheap. can pay interest-free installments of $70 some more. den i realise that my stupid citibank clear card has a credit limit of $500. -_-'" o well. e good thing abt dell is that e monitor will b delivered to my house instead of cash n carry n givin me a free flimsy trolley. it's $30 cheaper den e online price n it also comes wif 5yrs ext warranty instead of 3yrs. dear dear also likes e design. she said it's cute. like small man wif big head. -_-'"
epson stylus cx7300
damn sad la. my stylus photo rx510 died. i love e ccd scanner which could scan negs. e new cis scanner is ok ok la. but cant do film scannin. that xplains y it's height is kinda low profile. replacin ink is also much cheaper now. $50 instead of $100. comes wif a free trolley (yay?) n a swensen's complimentary meal voucher for dear dear (yay?).
razer proclick mobile notebook mouse
was considerin either this or e logitech v470 cordless laser mouse for notebooks. which is slightly more ex but it comes wif a tilt wheel n low batt indicator. but e fugly blue colour of e actual mouse is very different from e pic on their website. furthermore, this is a razer. how can i not resist its ah beng blue light. haha. comes in 4 colours. mine is called naughty black. jus like me. haha.
thanx to gerald who helped me make payment for e 2208wfp.
thanx to fabian who lent me his ink so that i could announce e time of death of my rx510.
thanx to dear dear who tolerated my bad shoppin skills, walkin up n down e hall like 10 times.
total damage: ard $1000.
there goes my 135L or 70-200L.
there goes my bintan trip wif dear dear.
another yr of savin up to do.
gimmie more money, britney bitch!
