Historical Events

Got myself a DVD writer a few weeks ago from SITEX at Expo.
I had to get a replacement for my CD writer ever since it became non-functional. Can't even detect a CD not to mention making duplicates out of them. I got myself a BENQ DVD writer after much browsing around and also considering at it's low price of $79 with an addition of 25 blank DVDRs.
I never regretted getting one of these.
The amount of data stored in a single DVDR is equivalent to at least 6 CDs in total.
Not only is it able to store data, it can also be used as a DVD player as well.
These are the 2 main reasons anyone should get a DVD writer.

The real reason would be that CD writer is becoming something of the past.
And for me to ask around about getting one, would be the same as labelling myself as an ignorant geek from another planet indirectly.

I got a keyboard and some books for Annabelle on the same day too.
The keyboard was bought from the same IT fair whereas the books were purchased at Kinokuniya in Bugis Junction. Brandon had followed me all the way there to get the books and then slacked with me till Annabelle finished work.

The entire of Dan Brown's collection.

I gave her a surprise after keeping her unawared for some time.
It was well worth it.

Her previous keyboard was giving me Hell since the spacebar was in a bad condition.
Everytime I pressed on it,
either it worked, or I had to press a few more times to succeed.
It seemed that the spring beneath was damaged and the recoil effect was like a one way fuck.
It simply pisses me off whenever I had to try my luck on having a space in whichever I wanted to type. I wondered how the spacebar did actually become like this in the first place.
It's not like she kept playing those Floppy Disk Old-School games on her computer that was needed to press on the spacebar countless times so as to fire weapons from the spaceship.

I have been using my same old keyboard for many years now.
Every key on it is still intact so far.
Just that it used to be white in color but not anymore.
With a combination of different particles which had fallen into the tiny spaces in between each key; thanks to the variety of foods I have eaten at the same time right in front of my computer,
and the long duration of usage,
it has turned into a color which I do not really want to describe.

Books are beneficial to anyone.
I like to buy books for Annabelle knowing she loves to read.
But that doesn't mean I feel that she needs to improve on her English. Even though sometimes she speaks a different kind of English word that doesn't exist in the dictionary today.

Maybe she is trying to communicate with someone from another dimension.
It just so happens that I am always right in front of her so I often misunderstand that she is talking to me.

Celebrated Brandon's birthday at KBox in Cineleisure last Saturday, 3rd of December.
His actual birth date is on the 7th and it happens to fall on a Wednesday. To be organizing on a weekend would be a better choice since more people would be able to make it.
Unfortunately in the end...
Not many turned up,
the cost was like $40+ per person,
and I swear to God I'm the most innocent victim among the rest.

I paid around 50 dollars just to eat some tidbits,
drink a few mugs of beer,
and worst of all,
hear a bunch of monkeys singing.

I aint any good either.
If I were to sing,
I would sound like someone when being banged down by a car.

But I might be the next Singapore Idol if I practiced abit harder though.

My birthday was the following Friday, 9th Dec.
Happy birthday to myself.
Lots of hugs and kisses.
YaY.

Annabelle ordered a cake and was delivered to my house.
So sweet of her.
As well as the cake.

Well...
I am still waiting for her present though.
She would be getting a PSP for me.
But that would be combining my birthday, Christmas, our 2 year's anniversary and Valentine's day.
Well,
one thing I am sure is that if I were to get a diamond ring for her,
I need not get anything else for Annabelle for the rest of my life.

Still looking around for a version 1.5 PSP.
Sad to say, it might not be available in the market anymore.
Which means that if I were to get a different model, I wouldn't be able to play any downloaded games unless I modified the program within, creating a risk of getting it damaged.
Probably I might not get one afterall.
I could always request for something else instead.

Maybe a limited edition Patek Philippe watch will do.

I got some PS2 games lately by some means.
Have been spending most of my free time playing since.

God of War
Metal Gear Solid 3
Prince of Persia : Warrior Within
Resident Evil 4
Jak 3
Shadow of Rome
Shadow of the Colossus
Ratchet : Deadlocked
Shining Force Neo
Dragon Quest VIII
Smackdown Vs Raw 2006
Devil May Cry 3
Burnout 3 : Takedown
Winning Eleven 8 -> Turns out to be in chinese nevermind,
some more seems to be corrupted in some way due to long loading time.

The games may be old but they are pretty good.

I completed God of War recently,
and felt that it's one of the best Action Adventure game of all time.
No PS2 gamer should ever miss it.























Give me a good reason Not to play this game.

Resident Evil 4 Is Quite Good Also. Only That It's Really Abit Short. More Interactive Now. Got Those Real-time Buttons Pressing.
Somemore Now Can Aim For Headshot, Handshot Or LegShot.
