wow.... what a day....

First off err... i think i need to apologise to juns for tagging her blog here >.<>.> next i need to apologise to every1 who msg me this past few days and i didn't reply on IM... last i wanna apologise on the comments i made about my dad, well i guess we both did what we did and nobody is right or wrong hehz.

Woke up today only to rush to the Sony Ericsson service centre to repair my phone... they said they only give me back on tuesday so fingers cross... i then made my way down sim lim to get a new graphics card.. at first the card looks fishy, but i just bought it, since i saw the sapphire tag...
but then to my horror, i reached home and i surfed the net i couldn't find one sapphire card built like mine and i can only find a similar one made by powercolor...

Felt cheated i tried assembling the card to my com, oopzz.... realise it was motherboard error and that my old graphics card was working.... i tried solving the error, even went around Jurong Point asking for old socket A boards.... thank goodness i took out the battery of the motherboard, to all computer idiots, the BIOs memory is powered by a battery and when u take it out it resets the BIOs...

Well i managed to find a socket A board and the guy told me to bring my PC over, I came home gave the motherboard one last shot, put back the battery on the power, viola! it worked >.> my PC was down for two months due to BIOs error >.> what sorta computer assembler am i.... Well after that it was back to the graphics card... I went in installed it, and wtf! the clock and temperature sensor were not working, it confirmed my suspicions that it was a fake.... well as it was already 8 p.m. and i had to wait for tml to bang some tables, i went surf the net for my model graphic card and found out that the same model but later production had the temperature sensors taken out to save cost >.> that explains the crappy fan they installed on my card...

so i did buy an original sapphire 9600XT just that it is not as good as those reviews.... This probably be mine one and only sapphire card..
