Well, exams are over, and, as expected, I barely scrapped through as always, but despite my inner kiasu, I’m content for the fact that the marks are proportional (or even slightly inflated) for the effort I put in, so there’s no complaining there.<\/p>\n

I was saving a few things to do after my exam, and now I’ve the time to do them. These include, but aren’t limited to;
\n– Watching Muthi
\n– Watching Baasha
\n– Set Up New Rig
\n– Spend days tweaking and overclocking New Rig
\n– Fry New Chip<\/p>\n

Yesterday, MOST<\/strong> of my new hardware has arrived. DHL and I were fighting a constant battle of F5(refresh) of the browser with the Russian customs continuously delaying my shipment due to a backlog of parcels in their office thanks to the recent long holiday we had (orthordox christmas, new year, etc etc).<\/p>\n

\"Parcel<\/p>\n

Before I get all excited and move on towards building my new rig, I figured it was only right if I gave my previous rig her proper tribute, before I move on to my younger, much slender baby.<\/p>\n

Hopefully my Artic Silver 5(Thermal Grease) will arrive in the next few days, I’m awaiting for the stupid parcel slip from the post office so that I may go collect it. Alas, God knows how long it may actually take.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, I plan to put up everything that arrived with DHL yesterday, so stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
