Lately, I’ve been listening to their songs a lot. I like their fast paced rock. Here’s a few youtube videos for your enjoyment.

I was watching a few Sex MachineGuns youtube videos on my second PC when my whole room blacked out. I thought there was a power trip somewhere in the house but when I opened the door to my living room, the lights were on and everything was normal.

After some troubleshooting, I found out that the cause was my main PC and it refused to boot up after. I panicked a little. I was afraid of losing the data on my RAID harddisks if the motherboard was dead.

Next day, Singtel’s line-fault technician came to my house to check the lines. Everything seemed fine with him. He trimmed the wires for me and tidied up the wires outside my house a little. The problem didn’t go away still.

When he left, I rushed down to Corbell’s office at AMK techplace to get my Antec PSU replaced.

Since they don’t have anymore PSUs of my model, I was offered a choice to upgrade to their newer models with an extra $30. But the 3 year warranty will continue from when I bought my previous PSU. I have 2 months left. >_>

Went home, installed it, my PC booted up with no problems and everything was intact. *phew*

Later that day, I went to meet a friend at SimLim Square to buy my digital camera. A Canon Ixus 800 IS. SGD$629, free digital camera kit (mini tripod, some cleaning stuff, a bag), free 512MB SD card and a 1GB SD card, free case. And the best surprise freebie: a calculator.

That was when things start to get worse.

I had my PSP with me. I carried it in my waistpouch together with my earphones. At one point while waiting for the bus, I was leaning against a wall on the waistpouch when I felt a little crack sound. Checking my PSP, I found this….

Sucks… ( T-T)

Update:

I’ve sent in my PSP to Sony for repairs. It costs $178.50 to replace the LCD and a few parts. A brand new PSP costs around $330 but I don’t want to have 2 PSPs at home. 1 for playing, 1 for smashing cockroaches.

A firmware upgrade is a must. They will be upgrading the firmware to 2.82 for me. Sucks because I can’t play homebrew. I’ll have to hope someone manages to come up with an easy way to downgrade the firmware. 

Another user offered me $120 to replace my LCD using parts from his PSP which he bricked. I think it was a good offer but it came too late as I’ve already sent it in and said to go ahead with the repairs. 

I had a very pleasant dream and I can recall a few things about it. It felt like it was how life after death would be.

I bought a pastry for $6.20. It was delicious. As I chewed, I had my eyes closed and it felt I was falling down in a dark place slowly. When I finished, I told the French Patissier "It’s good! I’ll be back for more." to which he replied "pleasure" (can’t remember clearly).

Then I met my pet dog who passed away many years ago. He grew a little larger and had grown very beautiful fur. In my dream I recalled the places I used to talk him for a walk to (I’m quite sure it was along Kovan Road).

He had a child too, and looks very beautiful.

Lastly, I found myself in a place where I suppose games(not electronic games) were played and there were a lot of bite-sized foods placed for people to eat freely. It was like a huge roman-style palace. I looked down could see many huge golden bowls very far away below. It was a magnificent sight. People were relaxing and watching the games below. 

Then I woke up to my alarm clock ringing. I sat down and tried to recall everything, replaying what I saw in my dream, picking up bits and pieces along the way before I forget them and started writing this entry.
