Of headaches and problems

To start off a new post after a few weeks without any updates at all, I finally find the purpose of my SteelSeries 5Hv2.

Well, it is quite big, but what the heck =D

I still love my rig. Cleaned it, and still happy with it =D

Still love to eat the Sang Mee that my mom’s friend cooks.

Friendship is great 8D

Went to Michelangel O’s Pizza. Great pizza they have! Cooked by a furnace or something, by pure firewood and brick-made oven!

Make sure my mom doesn’t know =X

Addicted to ice-cream + corn flakes =D

Well as for gaming… I did play a few other games.

Star Wars : Force Unleashed

Yeah, old game but still nice =D

The effects in the game is just too damn nice!

Look at Vader =D

Again with the games!

Yeah, racing game. Somehow when I played DiRT 2, I find it more enjoyable than playing GRID or Forza Motorsport. It seems that I enjoy the bumps and the sliding maneuver. On a circuit. it’s really quite boring though, but on rally… the crests and troughs really gets you going.

Turning 1. At Rawang, Malaysia.

Turning 2. Again at Rawang. This is a hairpin actually =D

Then again to show off DiRT 2’s uber effect!

DiRT 2 – first game running on DX11.

Though all of the pictures are from DX10.

I even played games like Red Faction : Guerrilla out of boredom. The game is okay, but it gets really boring when you played for a few areas.

Malice? Break some walls!

Break more things!

Mission – reduce this building to rubble!

Boring? How about blowing something up for fun?

Everybody loves explosions.

How about some freakishly good technology to reduce anything to particles?

A crate was reduced to particles.

Close shot of the effect of the game.

The game is good, but somehow just not what I expected.

Well… not really gonna end this post yet…

Here comes Modern Warfare 2!

The game had been famous for its variation in missions. I loved it too. A blizzard is covering your sight, but your gun is with a heartbeat sensor.

Then again, the variation within the game is really good.

Even the landscape is nice!

Somewhere. I forgot the name of the place >_>

Defending at some burger restaurant.

This is Rio de Janeiro! =D

Rig cleaning – last time for 2009 =D

Yeah, 2009 is about to end in just about nine hours! This time though, I cleaned with a completely different method this time.

Instead of washing the whole fan by drowning it in water, I used a cotton buds, tissues and also lot of cups of water. Trust me, you’ll be needing that 8D

Firstly, some updates 8D

Removed all ODD bay plates.

Well for this time I cleaned the rig without taking much pictures. Much likely because I’m already having a headache about the big cleaning thing.

I actually stripped the HAF 932 to bare metal

Doesn’t look pretty at all =|

When I looked back into the casing… Dusts… raping over my components.

First off is the my Sunbeam CCF. Clogged!

Places least expected to be dominated with dusts – raped!

Even the little air vents for the HDD at the side panel is with dust!

Removed my HAF 932’s top I/O panel too.

Wires – like tentacles!

Well even the fans are dominated! Cleaning wasn’t easy this time.

Prepared as how I said just now – a cup of water (often renewed), tissues, lots of cotton buds and also a lot of patience and effort.

I took this during my short break =|

Wiping unreachable yet big pile of dusts with cotton bud was easy. The reason for the cup of water is to dip one side of the bud in the water and use the tissue to absorb excess water, then wipe the dust and finally dipping the side of the bud with dust into the water again and shaking the dust off.

Eventually you’ll use a lot of buds since the cotton just go soft, and swim along with the dust =|

Another picture taken during my break =|

Okay, enough with the random photos. To start off… I sleeved all the small little wires connecting to the top I/O panel.

And I can’t believe that the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS15 can take such good images with clearly visible DoF.

Sleeved!

As for my CCF…

First wipe. Imagine how I wanna clean the whole thing.

Please don’t ask how those mosquitoes and flies came in.

Random picture I took while I was cleaning the CCF.

I just can’t get enough of the macro zoom mode.

By cleaning using this method, it’s really clean but the time taken is really long. Well since I have nothing to do, why not? 8D

I just love this picture.

Well after taking REALLY long to finish up this cleaning process, it’s finished and my casing is now still dirtier when I first bought it! 8D But cleaner than most of the time when I started using it.

Epic cleaning process – Done.

Merry Christmas!

It’s Christmas everyone!

Merry Christmas!

Here’s a wallpaper I made, as always, for the festival itself =D

No watermark, no resizing specially on this one!

Merry Christmas!

December… Burrrr…

Yeah, haven’t updated for some time now. Well first off I visited a shed. Not just any shed, a shed that makes biscuits from dough.

Might look very old, but never judge by its look!

Inside… Is actually a very small place. Well I’ll get on with the procedure of making the biscuits.

Firstly mixed something and roll it into a round shape.

Then rolled it flat.

Then some little things (I don’t know what’s it called) was added on top of the dough.

I managed to take a lot of photos from here, thanks to Ooi Jin for letting me to use his DSLR and also my mom’s uncle for letting me take so many photos =D Well, as we proceed…

Furnace was cooled down by sprinkling water in it.

The dough was then attached on the wall of the furnace.

Then covered the furnace with holes. Wait until the biscuits are roasted to this color.

The biscuits were then removed from the furnace. And now you may enjoy you meal.

Some random photo to make you hungry XD

Well it’s edible already. After that…

Biscuits were packed and sent out for sale!

Well as something interesting, it is actually the same biscuits that Yee Hup sells. I never knew =D
