Sharpion's Dream

Spore is coming!!! Yes should be later today!! Bad point is...I got no PC to play it on!! My notebook...my all powerful Asus G2 notebook costing me $4k comes installed with Vista and recently, its been giving me A LOT of problems. I can't even surf with Firefox 3!! Always blue screen of death etc...its REALLY annoying... Hai...think i'm going to install windows XP on it but it seems like its going to be a lot a lot of work. So perhaps, i'll just upgrade the PC in my room...should cost about $800 for a powerful one...PLUS maybe another $450 for a 22inch samsung...yes, that is next on my buy list. Oh, have you tried google chrome yet? its really fast..you should try it! Strangely, it was my increasingly tech saavy dad that recommended it to me!

The Car Thing It all started with my car audio going a bit nuts...so I went on the net and researched some good car audio ppl. Here is my shortlisted 3: AUDIOEDGE 48 Toh Guan Road East #01-112 Enterprise Hub Opening hours: 10am - 7pm (closed on Tuesdays) Tel: +65 67639442 Fax: +65 64657889 CHUAN SING 202 Ang Mo Kio Ave 3 #01-1670 Singapore 560202 Tel/Hp : 64521371,64527316,64591181 23 Serangoon Gdn Way Singapore 555935 Tel/Hp : 62802822,62836656 29 Sin Ming Drive #01-229/231 Singapore 575703 Tel/Hp : 64570279 NEW GEN 53 Ubi Ave 1 #01-44 Singapore 408934 Tel/Hp : 63486220 Fax : 68422267 Telephone: 62802822 The Headphone Thing I didn't visit all of them, I just went to Chuan Sing first and after examining my car etc, the guy, to my surprise, actually told me not to do anything! He said that it was really no point for me to upgrade. I was pretty impressed with the service and would definitely go back again to these guys. On another note, I was afraid my constant playing of my PS3 at h...

Finally managed to learn how to do this silly cube thing...it seems to be the fad now with the younger kids. My little cousins can all do it and thats wat inspired me to as well. So I went to get one (really cheap) and studied some tutorials on the net. So after about 3 hours (yes im a bit slow), I managed to get it :) Its pretty much memorizing some algorithms and using your own common sense. I'm trying to make all algorithms common sense but think i'm going to take a bit of a break from that first.

Mantis Mask Full face mask for diving. Really cool, tried it on my latest trip (thanks Eric!). Allows you to breathe through your nose underwater. Saves quite a lot of air, better for equalization and sinuses too. Only big downside is the flexibility loss on the surface. Not to mention all kinds of people being attracted to it. Roomba 530 Finally bought this baby...have been deliberating for months due to its excessively high price. Tried buying it from overseas but there was lack of support. Warranty and ease of mind were the 2 biggest tipping factors as well too. Hopefully this baby will take out a lot of our housework...not to mention, ain't it cool to have a robot!

Our Lady Peace - We Are All Innocent My favourite parts are: "And while he wishes he could escape this But it all seems so contagious Not to be yourself and faceless And a song that has no soul I remember feeling low I remember losing hope And I remember all the feelings and the day they stopped" More comments later, I'm outta time!

Recently I have been wondering a lot on whether there is a logical basis for why people like/dislike certain things. Like, is there are certain flavour that ALL humans like? A certain colour? Melody? etc. Can it be that we are hardwired somehow internally to like/dislike certain things? I mean, in nature, RED is used as a warning sign etc. and certain smells are automatically terrible for all species. Is 'Best' just a vote and the majority wins? Thanks to everyone who have shared their experiences with me. In the end, I'll go with this one: My good professor friend (who specializes in culture) has shared her thoughts with me. She believes its a vote and the majority wins HOWEVER, there are very established patterns that are hard to dispute and are formed along cultural lines; cultural determinism. So there...

Yes I have finally bought it! It is really awesome and fantastic and I'm just wondering why I waited so long to get it. One point to note is that you HAVE to get a HDMI cable (assuming you have a HD TV la) coz the system didn't come with it. Those things range from $20 - $500 (no kidding!) so choose wisely. I can't really enjoy the FULL FULL HD experience coz I'm only on like HD Ready and not TRUE HD but its already like 100 times better. I guess I won't be able to really tell the difference so nevermind la! Still waiting for my blu-ray discs to come from Amazon so till then, can only see the HD power through the games. The 2 games you MUST get are: - Metal Gear Solid 4: The most fantastic game I've played in a long long time. The graphics are jaw dropping (of course you need HD) - Grand Theft Auto 4: Pretty much the same thing as the previous 3 but just better done. Still a must have. - Wish List: Ratchet and Clank, Final Fantasy 13
