Yes this is part 2 of my crappy week! Its alittle late for this post since its already a new week but I just have to put it down. I just pray it does not rollover into this week...pretty pls!!

A few weeks running, I noticed that when I run multiple applications and alt+tab between these programs, my screen will freeze for a few secs. Usually I will attribute it to overloading the CPU or the RAM with too many startup programs or programs running in the background. Started to see deterioration in my Fifa 2007 experience as well. I did nothing for a few weeks. Playing C&C3 demo is also very demoralising, the graphics lags even in very low settings and I just attributed the whole thing to an outdated system. Fast forward to last week when the ITshow is on, went down a total of 3 out of 4 days. Bought a 19" LCD monitor from LG only to find out I was not given an analogue D-cable to connect to my monitor. Sway! Nevermind decided to go down the next day to get it from them...4am later I spilled Rose Syrup on my carpet! I placed the cup on the table and while in the dark I accidentally swept my hand against the cup after turning on my CRT Monitor...was wiping my carpet dry/cleaning off stains at 4am in the morning!!!

Got alittle break from the swayness on Saturday. Met the gang for dinner/movie/chillout. Watched 300 and it was incredible. You guys should watch it for the action, cinematography, effects and the nipply women. Reached home and then installed my new LCD monitor with the cable that I got. Somehow the buggy graphics problem got stuck in my mind all night. Decided to check my graphics card after church on Sunday. FWAH LAN EH!!! The freaking fan on the card is not working!!! It causes the card to overheat causing the problems! Wanted to fix the loud "electrical humming" as well so I rushed down to ITshow for the 3rd time to buy a new graphics card and CPU fan. The card I wanted is out of stock so I got another but was unable to get the CPU fan...damn pissed, ended up walking from Suntec to funan only to find all the shops closed. Suddenly realise that Suntec had a shop that might have sold. Aiyah cannot think properly already.

Went to SLS today to get the CPU fan. Shaun accompanied me but physically he was there, mentally he was somewhere else. Got my stuff and rushed home to be faced with an initial problem of installing the new CPU fan and using the thermal compound. Manage to install it only to realise that the "Electrical Humming" is not from the CPU fan but from my old Hard Disk...haiz!!! Wasted money on the CPU fan...and the worse thing is that the "noisy" Hard Disk holds my C: which means I would have to go through the trouble of buying a new Hard Disk and installing it and then installing all windows and all the programs in all over again!!!

I hope and pray this week is much better than the previous...
