I AM BACK! Kinda :)

No updates for more than 1 month(fucking hell). I was really busy but that is the past. I am back in working out and running(short distances) since the beginning of October. Lots of things happening over the last couple of weeks. First off, remember my toy?

Hori Real Arcade Pro 3 :D (Stock)

I wanted it to be more responsive because the stock buttons were not sensitive enough. I have been hearing from forums and even my buddy Kian wei about Sanwa buttons. He has changed his HRAP3 to sanwa buttons. I got mine from here. I only changed the ball top to white and buttons to Sanwa. The joystick is already from Sanwa so I only changed the ball top to match the colors of the buttons :D

First, remove the screws at the bottom of the HRAP3 and this is the inside


Close up view of the joystick. This is SANWA joystick.


Close up view of the STOCK buttons...lousy (T.T)


Completely modified to Sanwa buttons! (except for the select and start buttons)


MMmmmmmm white


The white ball top :)

Apart from that, whenever I play Street Fighter 4 without the air con turned on, my pc would freeze up sometimes. After checking my computer's temperature, the GPU( Graphics Processing Unit...basically your graphic card laaaa) showed a whopping 72 Degrees! Fucking hot!

After investigating, here is the culprit of the heat.

Yea, I know. You must be going wtf is that? How long have I not clean my pc? To tell the truth, I haven't cleaned it ever since the day I bought it. My cooler master case have some front grill sponge mesh to stop most of the dust which was effective but of course, nothing is perfect.

I got home after work, with a small brush(which was actually meant for painting but watever) and vacuum cleaner, I got down to work :) It is now nice and clean for the most part and the GPU temperature was 55 degrees! Fucking awesome huh? I saved some $$ on a new cooler :P

Another upgrade which I've done is my gf's pc. It's not too bad, Pentium 4 er...forgot how many Ghz. Running on 40GB HDD space and only 256MB DDR 333 of RAM. Yes. 256 MB. Dua Ratus Lima Puluh Enam. Running Windows XP fucking slow but surviving. To speed things up, I've been searching high and low for the type of RAM which her motherboard uses and finally, I found them WITHOUT going all the way to Low Yat Plaza :). I bought it from HERE.

2 X 512MB DDR3 Kingston RAM


The good stuff

HUGE difference(well DOH) after installing these baby. I removed the 256MB stick and install these 2. Checked her PC with CPU-Z and it was showing 0.98GB of RAM so it was all good. Even without checking, the time of loading Windows XP + programs was good enough to verify it because it was fucking obvious. Imagine you were driving a Kancil previously....and now you're driving a Honda City. So there you have it LOL lame ass metaphor.

OK LA...I know you guys have been waiting for this ...

FOOD!

Me and my sayang tried out DÔME Café afew weeks back. The food was just average. I ordered some chicken grilled with mash potato and salad while my gf had Mushroom Pasta or something...Can't remember the names. We also tried out their mushroom soup. Here are my thoughts on the meal.

First up, the grilled chicken, mash potato and salad.

Looks good?

It does look good but definitely below standard. First off the gravy is not exactly black pepper and its way too salty. The mash potato was cold. WTF was it suppose to be that way? I probably should have complained about it.

The mushroom pasta. This was enjoyable but they cut the small mushroom to even smaller pieces. I know its business but seriously wtf?

Mmmmmmmmm cheesey

Their mushroom soup. THIS is nice.

It came with a piece of garlic bread, really fragrant. Nice.

Blergh, enough of outside food. This was one of my breakfast recently :D I fried 2 eggs, surprisingly didnt break when I was flipping it over :D So I decided to cook it gently to maintain its perfect round shape :)

Once done, I fried the garlic and onions and later on, the beef. I placed a slice of cheese on the egg and then I poured the beef and stuff on to it. And.............

Breakfast is served :)

Did some window shopping last week with my gf, her aunt and cousin. I treated them to a nice dinner at Delicious @ 1 Utama. Sadly, I didnt take 1 of the pasta with seafood dish. But anyway, they were all delicious :D

Green Curry with rice


Very fragrant....the amount of chicken was not too bad.


The weird "salad" which consists of Pamelo fruit and cherry tomato,..some shallots...weird taste.


Carbonara but we switched the beef bacon with chicken. This was my gf's order.



Mmmmmmm more cheese


Tomato Spaghetti for my gf's aunt. She was vegetarian for that day.

The bill came out pretty expensive but I guess the meal was satisfying. Food portion was good too..loads of spaghetti and cheese given. On the side note, remember to add salt and pepper to your liking because the carbonara came was abit tasteless...without any salt or pepper.

I'm currently staying at my gf's place till this coming Wednessday as her parents are away at Korea. Decided to cook something nice for her on Monday. Spaghetti with Alfredo sauce , some broccoli, chicken breast seasoned with olive oil, light soy sauce and pepper and also 4 hard boiled eggs. I cooked more because I thought we could have some for breakfast and some for lunch.

I took this picture after she had finished packing her breakfast and lunch. Not much left LOL

Hope to do some running today.....argh its Tuesday! Gonna end abruptly again. BYE!
