Been feeling abit tad mellow these days, ya know… like nonchalant towards things and people around me. Nothing seems to excite me nowadays, or perhaps my life is just tad dull and boring. And my parents and sis are leaving for their Australia vacation in just about two weeks time, her O’s just ended I think. And considering nowadays its the school holidays, it doesn’t help much with the crowd outside either. Almost everyday, everywhere is so crowded. Oh my, do I sound like anti-social now? *grins*

Anyway it’s pretty official, I’m staying here and not going for the Australia trip. What’s the reason you might ask? Been a tour group trip, I don’t like to stick around with tourist guides around, restricting where I can go and explore. And been inside a tour group, it would probably mean there are uncles and aunties whom I can’t stand. So I told my Mum sometime ago I guess I will give this vacation a miss. Anyway in my current state, I pretty much needed a vacation, but not now. Still got some stuffs on my piority list, like finding a nice job temp and building my new PC, as well as going for my singing and japanese classes. Things will get pretty much hectic for me for the coming next few weeks so I hope I can handle it without affecting my original plan and schedule.

Anyway, if there’s anything worth happy about, it would be I’m finally getting myself a new DIY system soon. My last upgrade I had for my PC was sometime back in 2001, and been out of touch on the DIY scene for 3 yrs, I sure got alot of catching up to do. Been reading up alot these days and I roughly have an idea what system I would want and settle for, pretty much one of those latest P4s I guess, I’m pretty done with Athlon XPs for now, the heat issue is gonna be a long-term problem to solve and I don’t wanna mess with those again with all that unnecessary fans and noises buzzing in my room at night. The time is wholly right too, who would have thought that Valve has finally released their long-awaited game, Half-life 2? It’s a really brilliant game, and with the rave reviews churned out so far, I’m pretty much damn sure this game won’t fail my expectations. And not to forget I finally got my copy of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater yesterday from Mega Multimedia which was released locally here on Sunday. It’s really been a long wait and to be honest it really didn’t failed my expectations for it. From the introduction presentation, the story-plot to the characters dialogues and the humour inside the game, of course thanks to the brilliant and wacky game producer Hideo Kojima, everything is a master-piece. 3 years is a long wait, and I can be definitely sure that the Game of the Year contenders for this year will definitely include this work of master-piece from Konami as well as Valve’s Half-life 2 that’s for sure. Good luck gentle-men, you hear me, Snake & Gordan Freeman? *laughs*

Ok I should go, it’s already 3AM in the morning and I was supposed to go to bed early today, go figure. Good night minna-san monsieur aaron out.
