After some thinking, I wanted to get an AthlonXP 1800+ CPU to make 100% use of the resources available. Currently the bottleneck is the CPU. It runs at 100FSB but my ram can support 133FSB. The difference may be big. Thus, after work, I went down to SimLim Square but none of the shops carry the chip I was looking for anymore. [:(] Sigh…
For the rest of the evening, I went to Bugis Junction again. Roamed the area and visited the arcades.
They had a new soccer game that involved trading cards. The player lays them out on the board of the machine. Each card represents a football player that’ll be used in the game. Everyone is required to buy a $15 dollar starter deck. It has quite a few cards and a Manager card which stores your information of each game you’ve played. And if I’m not wrong, if you win a game, the machine will dispense a football player card.
Then I tried the new driving game, Outrun 2. It was easy to drift and control. It seems that looking at others play, they seem to be driving very fast. But when I played the game myself, it looks normal. Perhaps I’m just using automatic shift and the rest, manual. Manual has a max speed of 300km/h and auto, 288km/h.
I was unable to have dinner anywhere. All the fast food restaurants are crowded with people. Even if I manage to find a seat, I am unable to buy my dinner. If I go ahead and buy my dinner, someone will take my seat. [:(] . I ended up having a cup of chocolate milkshake from the shop just next to the escalator that leads down to the arcade. Surprisingly, for the rest of the night, I didn’t feel a bit hungry. I only had a heavy lunch.
