computer and shoes...

well, life is funny. i told my mom a while back that i would get a new computer after my mcat test, so she said it's ok. so she said gave me 500. and i was sweet. well, i knew it's going to be tight. so i look around for more funds. and the next place is my aunt. well, i've been hell of helpful to her so many times, i decide to bug her a bit. so finally after a while, she also agreed to another 500... now i'm a thousand up and i haven't even planned out what i want. since last term i was about 700 up on my account... well, i knew by the time i purchase the computer i wouldn't have the 700 to spend cause i don't have a job...

so, not after some calculation... but spending my money cause i don't have a job. well, that's because i lost my workstudy and thus my job. so i decided to look for one after my mcat test. you know so i can concentrate... at least that was the plan. well let's say thing fell apart. so now by now i'm 200 down... and so i think, by the time i get my check from my new job... i might be another 100 down... so, i would have around 400 bucks from my own saving... that's make a grand total of 1400 :P

now under normal circumstances... i wouldn't be spending all my money... but then again, it's my computer... and now i need a new one, and i don't think i'm going to spare any expenses. btw, i got a job :P and a way to make more money... well, some of you know how :P

so anyway this is my list of parts i'm going to get. so, how is gonna get jealous :P

NZXT LEXA BlackLine Black Steel

ASUS P5N-D LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI ATX

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield 2.83GHz 12MB L2 Cache LGA 775 95W Quad-Core Processor

EVGA 896-P3-1267-AR GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked Edition 896MB 448-bit GDDR3

Thermaltake CL-P0257 Blue orb II CPU Cooler for LGA775 & K8

Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD6400AAKS 640GB

CORSAIR CMPSU-620HX 620W ATX12V v2.2

and there is also one more dvd burner that i would buy... and also.. well, my old hard drive and two more dvd and cd drive. so, as you can see, this is one wicked computer... well, look at the lighting. i don't really fancy red, but the blue version is more expensive. well at least it would be mix with blue. well, on the bright sight it will cost me about 1300 and you will never find a price this cheap with any prebuilt computer... only self build computer can be this cheap... well, anyway still need to check prices everywhere to see if i can get it any cheaper... btw, did i say i'm also going to get a 22 inch monitor to go with my 17 inch monitor... and thus making the setting a duo monitor :P jealous yet?

maybe not... but i've still an ace up my sleeve. my cousin has brought my brother a 400 bucks graphic card last year and when he as me what i want i decided nothing yet... so i'm hoping i would be able to convince him to get me an original 64bit windows vista and a sound card and that would be sweet.


So... let's make a transition to a second topic for me, shoes :P weird isn't it? i mean come on, i'm a guy... and so how can you expect me to talk about shoes.... so let's start. and you will understand. well, this is my shoes... and well, it's a shoes i brought from malaysia... i was thinking i'm probably the only one with that pair of shoes. design and all... why? there is two reasons

1. i mean it's usually the case where things you can just buy in malaysia, you can buy in US a while back already... this is at least what i thought.
2. and i've freaking hell traveled 20000 miles before wearing them!!
   
3. and also there is like a million design out there, with different color and everything.

Several days ago, i discover that i'm the only one with my shoes... i mean come on, it was the exact pair that i have!!! i mean it's impossible!!! at least in terms of the odds. so, i was walking down the street when i notice this guy wearing the exact same shoes as i am... i normallly would have walk at a quicker pace than most people. and would have been ahead of him... but today is one day, i stay back just to watch... and also took a picture :P

ain't i weird?

so, well, if you look close enough, you will see the it has green strips all over it. and well it's impossible fo rme to take that picture as you can see, just cause that guy is several steps ahead of me... well, i could have walk ahead and ask someone to take the picture for me... but i'm not that free. so here is pic of my shoes...



well, as you can see, it's the same. i mean it's seriously the same. well, anyway the whole point of this post i just to share the incredible odd that occur to me. so what do you think? did anybody else have this happen to them?
