Homecoming

2011-01-09T11:58:00.001+08:00

After the flight delay for 2 hours, constant turbulence in the flight for 8 hours, and waiting for luggage for 45 minutes, the 11 hour ordeal is finally over. The day of the flight, fearing that I might oversleep, I set up alarms in my clock, watch and 6 alarms in my phone. Fortunately I was awake before the alarm sounded even when I don't have enough sleep. Gotta enjoy all the foods and the

Holiday times.. For a 22 year old without life

2010-12-21T15:17:00.000+08:00

It has been awhile since my last post. Had been playing tons of games since I got acquainted with Steam recently. I started to use Steam since I discovered that my Alienware comes with a special offer where it gets Portal for free. Since then I start buying games from Steam and now I have about 10 games in it. Note that I started my steam account only 3 months ago. Games I like and played the

Final Fantasy XIV Collector's Edition

I bought my Final Fantasy XIV Collector Edition for PC from www.game.com.au and it arrives today afternoon. Here are some photos of the contents included in the package. The box of FF XIV with an illustration, strangely familiar, could be related to some FF character in the past but I am not sure of it. The side of the box, stating the contents included in the package, including a map of

Alienware M17x captured!

2010-09-03T13:46:00.000+08:00

My Alienware M17x has arrived this 2 hours ago and I snapped photos of the unboxing. I ordered a 17 inch laptop bag and an external monitor too. It was a hassle to get all 3 boxes to my dorm as the box containing the laptop is heavy enough by itself. I spent about 20 minutes just to take all three boxes to my dorm. 3 large boxes, containing my Dell Monitor, Alienware M17x, and Alienware laptop

Alien(ware) is coming for me!! I will be the one doing the probing though.

2010-08-27T21:40:00.002+08:00

After my previous post about Final Fantasy XIV, I realized that my 3 year old laptop is not going to do well in future gaming, hence I ordered an Alienware M17x with the latest i7 processor and CrossFire graphic cards. 6 more days of anticipation! Hope that Dell does not delay its arrival. Also hoping that my Alienware would not be defective. It is kind of worrying as there are many cases about

The graphics of this game is supremely amazing and the character customization are quite versatile, similar to Dragon Age: Origins though. The movement are quite similar with Dragon Age too, WASD normally, and when you hold your right mouse button, you can navigate with it, same as Dragon

Explanation of PD (Pupillary Distance) and the use of it, Sponsored by ZenniOpticals

2010-08-14T23:15:00.003+08:00

Firstly I will explain the meaning of Pupillary distance (PD). PD is the distance between the centers of the pupils. The PD is used to align the lenses to eliminate the excessive misalignment since there are different choices of frames, which will affect the focus of the lens. Higher prescription will have more effect on the unwanted horizontal prism. The information used was cited from:Aitken, S

I have been living for a week in Australia independently. Had not missed any of the important orientation lectures, and there is not problem about food. I found myself addicted to cheesy foods though. Got my student ID, but there are some problems with the timetables. The first week in Australia is quite tedious.

High temperature on laptop!

2010-06-21T21:45:00.000+08:00

For the past month, my laptop (Dell Inspiron 1520) is experiencing high temperature. Idle temperature of the lap top would be more than 60°C. When gaming, high CPU/graphic application were used, the temperature easily passes through the 90°C mark and causes high lag issues and heat issues. I then decided to clean up the lap top this week and start searching forums for instructions. Initial steps

Razer Diamondback 3G revival!

2010-05-07T19:37:00.000+08:00

I bought my Razer Diamondback 3G mouse back in February 2009, and the constant gaming and daily use of the mouse had caused it rubber layer of the mouse to be worn out, exposing the annoying sticky layer of the mouse. That sticky layer attracts dust and fibers, causing it to look like crap. Had been searching for ways to solve the problem of the constant stickiness. And I had chosen to use

Pagerank 2!!!

I changed my blog URL several months ago, and that causes my pagerank to plummet as the URL is new. After I neglected my blog for 3 months, it appears that the pagerank had updated and now I have a pagerank of 2. This could be the source of motivation I need to continue my blog.

WiFi error follow up

2010-02-01T22:28:00.001+08:00

Following up from the incident stated in Post 1 and Post 2, this is the latest news on this incident. To summarize Post 1, after a storm, the wifi in my house does not work in my computer. And I found out that the wifi only works when the laptop is very close to the modem. I deemed that this problem arises when the storm somehow damaged my wifi card as my brother's laptop could work in his room.

After the storm, I switched on my laptop and the wireless modem but I could not connect to the internet.

2009-12-04T16:15:00.004+08:00

I just changed my blog color template to a brighter one. I used to think that a dark colored template would have a better effect as it does not strain the eyes as much as a bright colored template. I have been hearing suggestions from people that I should use a brighter template. Hence I retain the same template, but I altered the color codes to change those dark colors to a brighter ones. Any
