Just remembered that there was some stuff I wanted to blog about ..
I just started 2 new bank accounts, I'll rip the info shamelessly from another site:
Citibank Online Cash Manager
- 5.25% pa interest, calculated daily
- No minimum balance
- No account-keeping or minimum balance fees
- Withdrawals: 2 free withdrawals per month. Additional ones are $2 each.
- Debit card available
HSBC Online Savings Account
- 4.5% pa interest, calculated daily (or 0.5% pa for balances under $2000)
- No minimum balance. Require $2000 to open account
- No account-keeping or minimum balance fees
- No apparent withdrawal fees
- Debit card available: unlimited transactions from HSBC ATMs, 5 free transactions per month at any other ATM
- Cheque book option available
They're pretty good because the interest is alot higher than the account I have now (Bankwest student account), and apparently I will have to pay for the student account after I graduate. So it'll be nice to have free accounts while I can find a job to make some money :p It took me awhile to fill out the forms though, so boring :(
I still want to get an iPod, but .... should I wait for the next generation?? Damn ... I'll hold on to my money for now ... this one will have a colour screen >_< I bet it will cost heaps of money ... but for now my plan is to get a 3rd generation iPod and some Senheisser headphones .. or maybe some in ear ones (forgot the brand, but I don't have money for Etymotic ones yet..)
These clothes are pretty cool, but would you wear them .. ?
My favourite album of the moment! Love L'Arc lately, and this album is soooo good :D
I was really impressed by the Butterfly Effect - walked in expecting it to be crap, but then it was really good !! Alot of people agree with me too ... just watch it, it's quite 'fun' :) One of the best movies I can remember seeing!
There was something else I wanted to write .. but I forgot ...

Back From The Dead
Haven't written in a long time, and Ray has been bugging me to, so here I am! :P Just going to write something quick before I finish work.
My harddrive at home died... just as Ray thought it would. :P
Do not buy a hardrive with these specs: Western Digital 80GB, 8MB cache, 7200RPM
Ray's died in less than a week. Mine died in around three months. I think that's enough statistical evidence that's it a shit house harddrive? Ray might have more links on the 'net from other people complaining too. :P
It cost me $45 just to ship it to Singapore. The warranty thing said it requires a tracking number... so I had to choose super-special (and exp) mailing method. That's like one third the original cost of the harddrive already. :( Ah well... I'll probably just get another of the same model harddrive back, but I am going to buy new 80GB and then link them together on RAID for super backup/durability/speed goodness. :P Linux Volume Management rocks!
I lost:
* Pictures I coloured. I still have the original drawings in my drawing books though, so guess I can always atleast re-scan.
* Passwords (yeah, I'm a bit lame and pointless for writing out my passwords on text files... oh well :P). Most of them I can easily retrieve again, anyway - just a bit of a nuisance. LUCKILY the important ones are safely in my brain. :D
Things I had backed up
* All my stupid programs I made (they were stored on my wicked Subversion repository.
* All my music
I would of prefered losing all 4GB of my music and those programs than the stuff I really did lose. :(
Oh well... clean slate now. :D

so tired ... uni time :p
Haven't posted on here for so long ... not that I forgot or anything, but just didn't know what to write :) Been really lazy lately, oh well.
Didn't do much, but I can see that the last post I wrote was when I finished work ?? That was a long time ago ... had a bbq that night O_o It was alright ... I think there are some pics on my photos website :P Hehe :)
I can't really remember what I did between then ... I'll try trace it back.
Weekend just past was Luke's 21st birthday party ... one of our friend from highschool. Was quite fun, we drank quite abit ... then we went to Music Space, where apparently we drank the rest of Kim's Chivas - I can't really remember this part, but it was fun (I think :) Yesterday had abit of hangover the whole day .. went to Ads' house to watch movies ... they were ok I guess :P
What have I been doing lately ... played quite abit of o2jam, it's a music game kindof like Beatmania - abit bored of it lately though, it's either too easy or insanely hard -_- But it passes the time :P
Hrmm .. what else did we do ... we went to Mandurah 2 weeks ago, 11 of us ... here are some photos - it was fun :) The weekend after that, went to Mandurah again ... I think I've had enough of Mandurah for a while :P What did we do there ? Umm ... drinking I guess ... caught some crabs the first time, I cooked up some steaks ... something different from Music Space 24/7 :)
A few of us went to Julian's place and watched Infernal Affairs 3 last weekend, hmm ... I didn't really like it >_< Maybe because I forgot what happened in Infernal Affairs 1, I didn't watch number 2, and was abit hungover ... also I was sleepy :) But that was kindof fun.
My uni is already looking sucks ... my unit with 3 lectures has clashes for the first 2 - I don't want to do this unit, so I'm kindof leaning more towards the CS units to go to lectures ... I think this unit is the hardest though :\ I hate EE department ... bleh >_<
Oh !! Just remembered from the photos that I took that night, a few weekends ago we went to Music Space - had so much alcohol that it was scary. The worst offender was the bottle of Bacardi 151 that they bought - it's 75% alcohol ... just thinking about it makes me feel sick x_x I didn't get that sick that night, but ... hrmm .... I think the happenings of that night are not really for public consumption :P Anyway, if you were there, then you prob know what happened. Lately there is alot of dramas happening ... but come to think of it, dramas always happen :) I guess that we are just troublemakers.
