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!

New Hobby: Audio

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 high volumes may disturb others etc. So I decided on getting a pair of headphones. HEADphones not EARphones. So as usual, I went online to research local shops selling headphones...one really stood out and thats a shop called Jaben at the Adelphi. People were just saying, "go there and he'll take care of you." So i went.
The experience was really cool. The shop, though in a really ulu place, was packed with people. The guy (William I think-the boss) was really nice and let me try all the super expensive headphones (close to $1k types). He was really jovial and passionate about music etc. The people there were also really friendly, offering me all kinds of advice, teaching me a bit about ohms, drivers, mhz, closed, open etc. Wow, really learned a lot that day...even learned that i'm seriously not ready for this level of hardcore audio.
So in the end I went back and searched around to find more 'consumer ranged' varieties. My searching came back with these few, sub $100 types:
Actually my goal is to be able to completely hook up my PS3 to really high quality HD sound surround etc. Happened that i already have an amp at home so I just need to get the optical cable and hook it up. Found the optical cable selling at Courts but WOW, they cost like $50 for the Monster brand one...ya good quality i know..but im just no ready for this.
