in the IT fair it's $1699, $100 cheaper than SIM LIM SQUARE. But i upgraded the ram by 1 more GB ($70) and extended my warranty to 3 yrs (+199 same as outside prices), so in the end mine cost $1968. Took my bro and i only half an hour to go in and out of the fair at 12pm thurs. Just for that we entered suntec at 10am to get a good parking space (i drove!) and drank and read books to while away the 2 hrs.
Time to start working and find a job to pay back my mom and bro.
my advice to ivan who's also keen to get a Y400, get the extra 1GB ram. the graphics card sometimes requires a bit of ram from ur laptop when u are playing high graphics game.
Only thing here which i find irriating is that i'm still not used to the keypad yet. The backspace key is annoying close to the home button. But that's ok. This means i need to borrow the C&C 3 cd from edward to install it on my laptop.
of course now my bro and i are competing for the laptop usage time. Can't wait for him to get married and shift out.
Basically i have to be careful on my diet. Eat less proteins or i might have to have a kidney transplant in 20-30years time or go for dialysis. I have to stay healthy (no late nights). Hence the lack of participation in *ahem* clubbing or C&C 3 after 11pm since i'm usually asleep at 1130 and we all know most games lasts at least 40mins.
so ya i'm not going to destroy my kidney just to satisfy pple's desire to have a even no of players in multiplayer games. After all, (may this never happen) if i require dialysis or transplant, i'm the one having to folk out the $$$. and by that time, parents would have passed away or not working at the very least. Such stuff aren't cheap.
i can't eat/drink items/foodstuff with too much protein in it.
a) alcohol!
b) peanuts!! (bb wasabi coated peanuts)
c) beancurd, beans things with tou in them
d) liver/intestines etc
Things i have to do
a) sleep early
b) keep healthy
c) avoid overly crowded places especially during the flu season. It seems the FLU bug triggers a weakening of the kidneys.
Things abt IgA nephritis: It affects 20% of the chinese population. (sigh...suay lah). Chances of patient requires treatment is a may or may not situation.
So that's all with my life lately. A douse of massive bad news (IGA) which i'm taking it not that bad, i just say it as destiny or fate. After all i can't hide all the time, lightning might strike me, tree branch might fall and kill me, cars etc etc. so carpe diam! (that's live life to the fullest for those literature super ignorant friends of mine)
*groan* tomorrow's micheala's birthday and i haven't gotten her any gift yet. Tomorrow i will go to Bolders and get her a book. Tina said she likes books with princesses in it. Not sure if i have the strenght to look after her and luke at the same time *shudders*

I think I'm going to get that, since most laptops at abt $2000 are almost like that one or worse. Don't need speakers though. I'm getting used to headphones lol. But I'll still want to walk around and take a look at the rest.
You could have bought some DVD-R's there. Might have been cheaper there.
Job! Hmm... Relief teaching? Private tuition? Sex slave(wow I cannot imagine pedophilic aunties though :P)? Farm $$ in MMORPGS and sell online for cash!! EASY stuff! Then you can play + make $$ at the same time!
my advice to ivan who's also keen to get a Y400, get a richer girlfriend. The graphics card sometimes requires a bit more ram when u are playing high graphics 3D H-games or DVD-rip AV movies.
Only thing here which i find irriating is that i'm still not used to the irregular updates yet.
LOL u are now competing for usage time?! I've been doing that all my life LOL! But nowadays we have an agreement that everyday my bro books out on weekends and holidays, he can have the com from 3.30am all the way until he goes to bed(at 8pm). Very simple and no arguments. I get all the weekdays and weekend nights.
Or before he went for NS, it was half a day for each of us, with me usually getting the later half.
u dun need to get a cd. but i dun want to explain this here LOL!
Can't you sleep later once a week? :D
These days I sleep at 10pm except friday nights and nights preceding public holidays. I need to sleep more so that I won't sleep in the blardy 2 hour daily lectures.
Yea medical treatment is never cheap in sg. In fact it way cheaper to die here than to get seriously ill.
Funeral = Less than 10k
Heart surgery = 30k for certain surgeries excluding medicine, further checkups, ward, GST(?),etc
= Bankruptcy
= Jump in front of MRT
= Funeral
= Less than 10k after paying the 30k and etc
And do they fine you for suicides? LOL!
"No suicides - Fine : $5000"
And do they jail your corpse when you can't pay? I mean, they scrape whatever is left of the corpse(assuming I jump from a tall building) and put them in a pail and lock me up in a closet?
Carpe Diem! Not Carpe Diam. Seize the carp! LOL!
It means "seize the day" usually.
Or you can say "Carpe XL!" or "Carpe Celest!" or whatever.
Books with princesses, eh? Maybe the biography of Diana? Some book on European history? Or some book on Marie Antoinette(that would teach her something about life, or worse come to worse, at least she will know who said," If they have no bread, let them eat cake!")?
going there later is definitely a different experience compared to going on the first day.
first of all, certain hot stuff are sold out. like your Y300. that's the bad part.
second, they are lowering the prices of most of the other stuff. many laptops there are having their prices reduced by $100. that's the good part.
third, they added 1gb ram for me for 30 bucks. i think that's the better part.
fourth, i think the best part is:
Aspire 5585WXMI
Intel® Centrino® Duo processor Technology- Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T7200 (2.0Ghz 667MHz FSB 4MB L2 Cache)
- Win Vista (fuck vista though. lol i'd have been happier with a win xp)
- 2GB DDR2 RAM
- 160GB HDD
- Double-layer multiburner blahblahblah
- 14.1" WXGA CrystalBrite LCD
- nVidia® GeForce® GO 7300 up to 384 MB TurboCache™
- wireless lan, bluetooth
- 1 yr warranty
- weight is... i cant remember cos i dont care about weight..lol. but it's probably same as yours.
the price was 1998 with only 1GB ram. upgraded to 2gb for extra $30. just when i boarded the taxi, i suddenly realized that i could have upgraded to THREE GB RAM for a likely increase of $50! GAH!!!
o ya, theres also an integrated(fuckin hell cheap way to jack up the price!!!) webcam that i dont really care for. wanna see me blog nekkid?
and they threw in an optical mouse and headphone(el cheapo, baby!), a few bags, a 4gb flash drive (another cheap thing, but coincidentally i was looking for one :D) and a 250gb 3.5" ext hard disk.
all for ... $2028
mine isnt much better than yours. as u can see i m missing several things you have and vice versa.
im a fan of headphones and not speakers. so.. YAY!
and good thing u went that day or u wouldnt have got it. when i went to the lenovo booth they were recommending me the Y400 which isnt worth the price. all the rest of the lenovo laptops suck either in terms of specs or prices.
now that i have set up a secured wireless network, i jus need an expert from the gang to help me organise a LAN party :D
dammit! all of you go get a laptop please! then can play cnc on lan in someone's home. or in school.
and btw, im noob. whats a multicard reader for? dont understand all the SD MMC etc.
