三月九日/十日

The weekend ended again. When is someone going to change to a 5 day weekend and 2 day weekday ? Or maybe I will find something to do which I really will wake up every morning and enjoy doing every bit of it ? Being watching too much "World's Richest People" and "Europe's Richest People" though I missed today's repeat.

Went down Nissan for my 10K servicing on Saturday morning. Numerous scratches and dirt spot on the car, just felt like giving a new spray of color ! Anyway, cost me $66 coz the guy say use synthetic oil then next servicing will be 6 months later, gave him the benefit of the doubt. While waiting, headed to Rangoon Bak Kut Teh for lunch.

Yes, the famous one ! Open only 6 am to 2 pm. It was good, the soup was wonderful, savoury and peppery, the way I liked it. Though at $5.50, seems pricey. Comparable to the one at PSA but people might be more familiar at the one near Zouk. The PSA one is also peppery but abit less savoury. The other most notable difference is most of the time you have to get your own "加汤" while the PSA one have people going in pots/kettles to give you the "Drink till you peppered to death" soups.

Then was off to IT show which spilled over to 1st flr this time round, though not sure what really was on 1st floor, more like counters for people to collect stuff. 3rd flr was Starhub and Sony territories. 4th flr are all the major stuff while 6th are the accessories. Got a WD ext 500 GB HDD at $150. Wanted to get a 750 GB one but it was $100 more for WD, Seagate or Maxtor, so not really worth it.

Time to get my car and headed for Labyrinth for some pool. Then head to Al Jilani for dinner before heading home to watch Man U, Chelsea losing in the FA Cup. My bet on Newcastle to win was in vain, at odds of 8.75, was worth a punt.

PC still having the problem, due to the crap casing I got last time. Quite a miracle it even sustained till now. So went down today to get a decent one, after few rounds of KLKK, decided to get the Cooler Master Centurion 534, $79 !

The reinstall and rebuild took about 10 hours ! Still on-going as I write ... CM casing really not bad, tool-free installation and quite simple. Time to laze in bed and finish my Spurs vs West Ham game :)
