I have a lot of things to blog about but I’ll try to write them this weekend. First of all, I wanna blog about yesterday.

Yesterday was interesting. I had class in the morning, then a shoot after that with Alison and her bf.. which went okay except that all of us got bitten like mad by mosquitoes. I felt bad they had to be tortured like that so I treated them McD. Then came back to college for meeting. The graduation meeting is starting to feel like the old student leader meeting, where there’d have unexpected meeting one day and only inform everyone the night before which would ruin whatever plan you have on that day. Urgh. But…! I got my result! YAY!

Research Methodology –  A
Short Film Workshop –  A-
Video Editing –  A
Video Production 2 –  C+
Media Studies –  A

GPA: 3.61

—————————————-

OMG. I’m so fricken happy that my GPA is still above 3.5. The stupid Video Production 2 ruins it, but then again I’m quite surprised it was C+ considering everything was extremely fucked for that subject, all the problems with documentary and an embarrassing final presentation so C+ is acceptable. I got scared that I might get low because one guy has to resit for that subject and his final project was good. I thought I might get D or something. So far, no D ever in my subjects.

I’m also surprised at the rest. Ok, Research… It was a quite a tough subject. Then one of the guest assessor said my report was incomplete (and said that to everyone too) and would not give good marks for it.. then video editing.. well, it was an easy subject.. except the final presentation day where my group was late to present, my external HDD died so we couldn’t present normally like the rest of the groups. I thought the fuckups would affect the grade. Media Studies – wow.. it was a tough subject. The last presentation was nerve wrecking. The assignments were hard.

But overall I’m satisfied with my result. So I’m happy.

After the meeting I went to Low Yatt to survey DSi prices. If I just want the console, the cheapest I found was RM670 (USD$193) and the highest was around RM750 (USD$216) I think. If I want together with package.. where this is hard since each store is different, the cheapest is RM750, and the highest was like RM850 or almost RM900 (USD300). Still fricken expensive. BUT, this one store let me test it, and I played some games on it… omg, now I so badly want it.

You see, I thought DSi had just minor upgrade. But once you hold it, you can totally feel the difference. The surface is of course no longer smooth. The matte black has rough surface, and the white feel a bit smoother. I’m starting to think it’s good, because the DS lite tends to slide off my hands quite a number of times before. It’s thinner and a bit bigger, buttons feel different now, not protruding like DS Lite. And the screen.. argh, it felt so different. I thought o.25 inc bigger is not much of a deal but you can really feel the difference. Contra looked so good on it. Camera was eh… so-so. It’s the quality of a webcam but still quite ok. Ugly colors though. I still love metallic rose on DS Lite, but I could still live with a black DSi. White looks good too but it will get dirty. Blue – yuck. Pink hurts my eyes.

They offer either R4i, R4i Gold or R4i Pocket. I want Acekard 2i but I have to add Rm20 – Rm40 extra, wtf. If I buy online it’s only like Rm40-ish after converting currency. I think I’m gonna buy it anyway and then buy Acekard 2i online. Hopefully I can get it next week.  I still need to survey Sungei Wang and Imbi Plaza first. Oh! PS2 slim is cheap nowadays.. I think I’m gonna get it after this semester is done. It’s around RM470 (USD$135) now. When I bought it, it was RM1500 (USD$432) for a modified bulky PS2. So I’m gonna wait a bit until I can go back to Ipoh and sell the old bulky non-working PS2. I miss playing PS2 games.. at least I can play it for a while until I can get money for Nintendo Wii.. the fricken awesome black Wii! Oh half modified PSP 3000 is cheaper than Dsi, lol. It’s like RM 600-ish.

After that I had an interesting situation with scammers. FUCKING SCAMMERS. I’ll write about it later in a new post. Oh yeah, in need of a tuxedo vest? Formaltux.com is having discounts now, so if you need a tux for occasions, now it’s the best time.
