Evite: Free Online Invitations
This site is pretty cool. Free online invitations, trax your invitees' reponses, keeps records, and more. Now, I just wish some of my friends checked e-mail and are online more. Come to think of it, haven't been to a get together in a while. A long while. Hmm. Maybe I should throw my own party. :p Too bad, I don't have moolah, don't have time to plan & setup, and don't have my own place. I only have enough right now to eat out once. And that's if I only need to pay for myself... Doh, don't have enough even for a drink and dessert. pooh. Geh, I hate having to be all miserly, cuz I know I'm naturally a very generous person. Bah humbuggies...

Elitegroup Computer Systems Co., Ltd.
This site is for the motherboard thing. Arg. Sometimes I wish people would just lay off stuff they don't understand. Especially when the stuff includes electronics, mechanics, and politics. heh, yeah politics. Aaahnold, your past isn't exactly a clean slate. As a movie star, it's ok, but as a politician... Well, you gotta be wary of your past, present and future actions. Plus you're a what? Republican? Pretty sure Californians are mostly democrats as there are a lot of diversity and environmentalists in that area. I could be wrong though. Don't take my word for it, just assumed considering how California is into rewarding drivers of hybrid cars, recycling, and preserving wildlife. Where did all the hippies originate anyway? Anyhoo, I had that computer working and so and so are blaming me cuz they don't know how to setup the software. Boo. Why me? Oh, yes, now that I'm home from school it's always either my fault or my brother's fault. No wonder teenagers like to use phrases like "The heck?", "umm ok, ___", "What the..__?"... Bafflement. My favorite one (got this from mom) is Ngaw guh (My in Cantonese) Goodness *insert eye roll here*. Laterz.

How to Build a Socket A Athlon Computer
So I was helping out to build a computer for my dad this labor day weekend. Cuz I'm an EE major, I'm suppose to be the know it all. :P Hey, it's really not too hard to build one. You just gotta be wary of wiring and place in one part at a time. Anyway, the first time my brother built it (I just supervised...kinda), we thought the power supply was dead... Then when we brought it back to the store, they found it was not.. Hmmm. Ok, so the next day, I built it all up and tested it with each component. Until it was finally done! Ok, now my dad is trying to fiddle around with installing software... For some reason so far we can only intall Win NT4.0, doh! I'm thinking we need to flash the bios and try intalling Win98 with boot disks and all. But, after I built the working computer dad and brother all want a chance to prove their worth. hahahahah. j/k BTW, we bought a bunch of parts and electronics at the big grand opening sale Fry's Electronics had. A big warehouse of stuffs that has been a big retailer in CA, but recently has moved nearby. Great place, but sometimes if you shop around online enough you can find better pricing. Also, this weekend we went to Canada and I drove most of the way back... @_@ I don't need thriller movies or roller coasters, driving gives me an adrenaline rush cuz I'm totally paranoid that crazy drivers are going to eat me alive. O.o Oh, and lately family is in hi stress cuz brother is starting senior year in HS. Aaah the memories. I think he'll have a blast at college, especially since he has a similar attitude as I did in HS. Basically it sucked. 3% of what I learned in HS I can apply. I wish I just skipped middle and HS, they were a waste IMHO. Nevertheless, I still act immature sometimes. I swore sometime ago I'd never ever forget what it is like to be a kid. Although my childhood is kinda conservative to what kids do nowadays. But that story is for another time. Peace. ^_^ V.
