The Computer and Me

My interest in computers has been there since the day when I was in primary school. It all started when there was a free period in school and the teacher has nothing else to teach us, so he led us to the computer room to fiddle with the computers. I was amazed on how sophisticated this machine I saw in the computer room is. It was an Apple computer.

Then I got home, went all excited and told my parents about the computer. Ever since that day, my daily ramblings was about computers. Till my dad brought me to a computer shop and had me enrolled to computer lessons. I learned the computer language Basic. After the classes, I would then be given a full box of games to choose from and to play. I remember my favorite games were Alley Cat and Load Runner

Then after much persuasion telling my dad how good the computer is and how much I can learn from it, he decided to buy one for me. My first computer I got was a PC XT with Turbo settings to 8Mhz! LoL (well the normal settings was like 4.5MHz, was a button on the pc to set it to TURBO) with 16 color monitor! (well at least it was better than the green screen monitor).

So very much I played with the computer I had to wear spectacles at the young age of 8 or was it 9..

Jumping into the time today, my computer is now a Intel 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo, Asus 9600GT 512MB DDR3 Graphic Card, 2GB DDR2 667 Ram, 200GB HDD SATA2 with a Samsung 19" LCD Monitor. I love how technology has improved, and how my favorite tool has evolved itself.

Yea, I'm a computer nerd/geek. Not much life outside besides the computer. I do business with my computer, I found my girlfriend online, I play games online, I chat/ramble/gossip online chats. I pretty much do EVERYTHING online, so much which it frightens me sometimes, how dependant I am towards the computer.

Sorry to bore you with my computer story here, I've got no pictures to show at the moment cause the only camera I could use is with my girlfriend who is still in vacation in Sabah helping her family with shifting houses and at the mean time, getting off-time from me! I do hope she's doing alright there. She doesn't even know I have a blog haha... well.. not just yet. Oh yeah, she just got a new DSLR camera so I could use it when she's back to show you more interesting things. Oh and don't even bother asking why I didn't use my camera phone to take pictures. Well to makes things short and simple, my phone is VERY ANCIENT, I only use it to make and receive calls and sms.

Kinda bored watching Euro 2008 Quarter Finals, Turkey Vs Croatia. Both teams are just plain lousy. haha.. Well I support Holland to win, we'll see how it goes...

First Blog of my Life

I would like to say, its way about time I made myself a blog. With all the hype and news about how blog could relate to many things in life at the present time. Of course, this is by influence from my girlfriend, friends, and the many blogs which I do read everyday.

Not really sure what this blog is going to turn out to be, but nevertheless, a commitment to start is a good step.

What I would include in my blog would mainly be about the many games/experiences we do encounter in life and how people live up to it.

And with this, I shall cut the ribbon for my blog :) hurray! *snip*snip*
