[Insert Appropriate Title Here (cuz i can't think of one) ]

A lot of things happened since my last post. Most importantly is the return to life of my beloved PC! *hugs casing* All thanks to the great power supply unit that is the Silverstone Strider ST50F 500W. I got it for a bargain RM255 and I even uploaded a video of me unboxing it (I know I'm nerdy).

Unboxing The PSU
PS: Read what's written on the shirt.


Anyway, getting the PSU to work wasnt easy and after finally fixing it and the stupid RAM I could finally run my PC. What makes this fix so great? After entah how many months I can finally listen to my Sonic Gear Evo 7 2.1 speakers! Its amazing how 'bright' my room is at night and I wanted you guys to see how it looks so I uploaded another video =) There are some still pictures too during the day.

I would recommend this link so you can read my comments on each picture but...
If your PC is slow you can use this link.

My PC At Night


Look at this picture:
PC Area

Why am I telling you to look at it? Because some people think I have spoon fed all my stuff and from looking at the picture you are rich...but neither would be true. Here is what everything costs:

1.TV & PS2(cannot be seen in pic)-
This 'set' set me back only RM550.Why? Because it was part of a bet. I asked my mum if I could get a PS2. Not surprisingly, she said no. But she made me a challenge, if I could come up with half the amount(RM400, PS2 price is RM800) in 1 year she would pay the remaining. She thought that it would be almost impossible because she gives me 'just enough' money for recess so im left with about RM1 per day to save. How wrong she was...I came up with the money in 2 months! I had already saved some money and by starving for a few weeks I came up with the money. I traded in an old TV and got this TV for roughly RM150.

2. Monitor-
FREE! Was clearing old stock at office so I grabbed one.

3.TV Rack Thingy, Side Table, Cupboard-
ALL FREE! My grandma's old stuff that she gave me when she moved.

4.Speakers-
One of the few things I had to play for. RM139 together with some headphones which I gave my family.

5. Mouse and Keyboard-
Combined-Cost me RM35.

6.Chair-
Who would actually pay for that? Obviously free. Including the pillow case =)

7.Computer System-
Definitely NOT FREE! RM1600! Had to save up for quite a few years to get this baby...

9.Everything else-
FREE!

Now what looked like a pricey room would almost be FREE without the PC and PS2. Not forgetting the fact that I bought the PS2 in Form 2! Total cost of my room: RM2500(roughly, too lazy to calculate). And I'm proud to say I worked my ASS off to get all those stuff.

PS: All the pictures were taken by my beloved K800i (paid for by working to the Ice Queen at B.U.M)!
