There was a recent article on a local Chinese tabloid rumouring Fiona Xie to have depression. The repeated commercials on TV by Institute of Mental Health clearly reveal that 99.9% of local peasants do not have a clue on what depression is all about. Depression to them=see pychiatrist=siao/mad/mentally something wrong/shen jing bing.

I honestly cannot comprehend on why seeing a pychiatrist will label someone as what is described above. Are they simply plain ignorant or something else? It is sad to see teenagers commiting suicide when all these can be avoided IF their parents bother to properly think what is wrong with their children. Why their erratic behaviour etc. But as most parents are, they are afraid or even shameful to even consider that their children might need to seek consultation from a pychiarist. Oh wait, most Singaporeans do not like to watch documentories but like rowdy shows like Xi Ling Men. Thus the ignorance?

Finally got myself an Antec Smartpower 350W PSU(power supply unit) for my PC. I was reading in a forums with users all advising users to get a decent power supply for their PCs. Most will think that PSU are not important. Well it is definitely one of the most important components inside! The function of the PSU obviously is to supply power to the innards of ur PC. If a person uses a lousy PSU, the current going through will be irregular and will cause system unstability, freezeups etc.

One fine day the PSU decides to end its working life,if it goes quietly it is still oke. But there are times when it will take away some of ur important components too, such as ur harddisk. Imagine ur months of hardwork,ur gigabytes of mp3s,movies,photos all fried cos the PSU decided to snap. Well a HDD nowadays is cheap but what abt the info inside? If you have a $800+ high end 3D card and it got fried by a lousy PSU,if your nice TDK DVD16X writer got fried...how will u feel when all these can be prevented by spending ABIT more on a decent PSU.

Oke so i got my PSU, when I got home. I realised something was not right. My old cheapo icute PSU has 2 plug in it, one is from the main socket and the other is to power the monitor. THEN I also realised I did not get the warranty card stamped! So I made a trip down to the shop this afternoon. Came back fixed up everything, saw that there was no current going thru my PC, I dismantled the side panel again and checked. On power, no bootup..................guess what? before I fixed the PSU, I actually pluck out the 3 pin plug which connects to from the main socket to the PC. -_-II

I also bought another box of TDK DVD+R today. Its going really cheap! $17 for 10pcs. Abt 44GB of writable data. HHAHA. Usual price is $38, then went down to $25 (ytd), today $17.

Last evening I accompanied my ex-classmate/friend to simlim to get his ear plug phones as well as my PSU. FCUK, it was crowded. Later he brought me to NAFA new campus which look like a factory building. There was a mino exhibition in it before we went off. Before we went to Nafa, we actually took a look at our excoursemate's exhibition at The Scupltor Square. I was expecting something but all I saw was flickering lights and multimedia wall projections. Honestly I do not understand what he was trying to convey and I especially loathed one part where there were some naked men. It has a very strong sense of homosexuality element in it and to me, gays are worst than scum of the earth. they shld be skinned, disemboweled, chopped off their limbs, pry open their skulls, remove their eyeballs. Even if they r fed to the dogs, the dogs will find them too disgusting to eat.

Oke, so we walked to Plaza Singapura, where my friend realised his earphone cable was too short haha. There was this shop which sells fancy clocks and wall decorations, I was very tempted to get a nice rotating magnifying ball which u can rotate to show the clock or a photo. It is $49. there used to be a very nice metallic clock which shows the time with raised and depressed metallic rods. $200++ I remember..... -_- so exp.

I wanna get a men's analogue watch. Anyone knows of a good and reputable watch store?
