New Year, New PC

By On February 12, 2008 · 2 Comments · In Gadgets

I bought a new PC on Sunday. Wanted to upgrade, but ended up buying all new components. Don’t ask me how much I spent. :(

Specs:

  • Intel X38 Chipset
  • Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz
  • Nvidia 8800GT 1GB
  • 2GB RAM (Wanted to buy 2 x 2GB, but they were out of stock. Now running 2 x 1GB)
  • 500GB 32MB HDD (Storage is so cheap man)

Have you seen a 1GB video card before? This is the first time I’m seeing one. It looks really nice, gold gold bling bling.

Ok la, now I should be able to play some uber games on it. :)

P.S. Image quality is bad cos I used my handphone cam and I don’t have any image editor on this PC to edit contrast.

Vintage Effect on Left and Top Right Image

The vintage effect looks very convincing especially since my mirror is a little dirty. Hahaha.

I bought a red dress to wear for CNY this year. I bought red undies as well, but didn’t wear them. :x Maybe that’s why I’ve been losing at mahjong for the first two days of CNY. Hahaha. But I won at 通宵麻将 last night! :)

Photoshop Vintage Effect

I got the link to this tutorial from Cessy’s blog, then I started going crazy with the effect. LOL. I saved it as an action and applied it to some of my pictures. :) I think the graduation photos will look very nice printed out. :)

My cousins will be coming over to my place later, so my mom was busy preparing today’s food in the kitchen last night. Look at how bored Oreo O looked.

I started taking random pictures around the flat and found that my dad actually has a very nice collection of figurines. I took some pics of them. The nice ones are uploaded on my flickr.

Ah bit was looking bored too. Like flat on the bottom of his cage bored (refer to Oreo O’s pic above), but he looked up when I went to take a photo of him. Haha.

g33k-girl.net

By On February 5, 2008 · Leave a Comment · In General

This domain is an impulse purchase. I wanted felicitous.net, but it was being parked, so I started thinking of random names that people know me by off the top of my head. Some ideas I had:

  • Zulfang
  • Ellisha
  • Estrellalala (because both estrella.com and estrella.net are taken)
  • geekgirl/geekgurl/g33kgirl/g33kgurl (all taken)

Didn’t end up using any of my in game nicks because not a lot of people (meaning only my gaming friends) know me by those nicknames. Even though I’ve never used the nick geek girl, or any variant of it, a lot of my friends know me as a geeky girl. Plus, CS and MZ used to call me geek girl in the office, and g33k-girl.net wasn’t parked, so wa-la! I bought it.

I’m going to live with downloaded themes for a period of time, while I figure out how to create wordpress themes. :)
