You think it can be done? An Intel Core 2 Duo for under $500? Well throughout the next few weeks I will be trying to build this computer. I am actually selling my only computer I have here for $400 to get some money to build it! Some requirements will be....

-Must have at least LCD 17" monitor dsub or dvi connectors.

-Must have 3gb/s SATA 80GB or greater hard disk.

-Must be a micro atx.

-Graphics card should be able to play most newer games, so nvidia 7 series or more.

-Must not use ATI or AMD products.

-Case must have good airflow and not attract lots of internal dust

-Must have 1 pci*16 slot and 1 pci*1 slot

-Doesn't require AGP

-Must be able to write all dvd and cd's and read them all.

This computer will be tested thoroughly probably by the next time you see me back here. So keep posted! Then maybe you can build your own Core 2 Duo Machine for under $500 USD!

I haven't been this angry since the last time my mum comes.
After all these years, I have never improved in my brain, I still have stupid conflicts with my mum.
She is selfishly want to shape me into something she wants, which is "Good for me".
I'm not going to be her bitch and let her drove my life!
I can't tell her anything, for example, I said something about doing bad on this bio test1, she start asking me questions, which is ok. Then she ask questions about how other people did in my class, which is also ok. After she noticed there is someone getting 45 points higher than me(use your logic.. that means I failed the test), she uses the most annoying weapon of all time--"Nagging" and give me "Statements" and doing "5 year plans" like a communist.
She force me to gain the power to fly, without noticing I'm a fish.

Only friends can betray, only people you care can hurt you.

I'm hurting my mum by not blindly follow the command she thinks comes from GOD, like mandate of haven. She is hurting me with all the means she can find, from clean my room and throw everything she don't like to force me eat the food I don't like2.

Pet, that's what I am to her, a untamed pet waiting for her to vet3 and bet.

Remember when I was 10, the time where my birth mum give me to the mum I'm having now, she told me that my mum now don't know how to be a parent.

I understood it months after the arrival in Australia, and I insist I was smart to know that, although I wasn't, I should know it the 1st day.

She works as a dictator with a totalitarian government that feeds the population and waiting for gold in return. Do you know that I make more money than my mum right now?

Obviously, my head worth a price
when the stake is high enough,
She would trade.

Life, a gift!
Why does a parent have to pay their debt to their young by nourish them?
Life, a gift.
A gift that cost so much to both receiver and deliver.
Life, a gift?
No, it's a debt.
It's not a giving, but a taking.
A bliss of ignorance no longer shines after birth.
A curse of sense cycle though each breath.

The chains you give me,
I will break free,
by driving my own Mercedes.

Now my mum is using her "nagging" power5 turn my dad against me and I don't think I can touch the computer anytime soon because she told my dad not to let me have "fun".

1. 1. a test made just to make most of the class fail so "Chao could finally go to test correction". You know what... I'm still not going...
2. 2. this one is not a big deal... just to put it here so it rhymes
3. 3. examine carefully
4. 4. inaccurate... my body isn't just these stuff, there is other kind of tissues
5. 5. level 50(MAX)

This is a sponsored review of whogets.com, so I can get enough money to pay for my hosting bill.
WhoGets™ is just like other game shows on TV, give out items for free. But instead of winning items with your enormous amount of knowledge, you get items by getting votes from WhoGets™ members.
I signed up and soon entered 2 contests:
1. A palm pilot
2. A green ipod shuffle
7 of the all the people who enters the contest will be randomly chosen to the semi-final, where the voting starts. Each time a person enters a contest, he/she can write a statement of why he/she should be the one getting the freebie.
For example, one of the reasons for me to get the ipod is:
I don't want to listen to propaganda pornographic radio anymore.
Well that's a joke but you get what I mean, lead people to vote for you.
Why would WhoGets™ send people free stuff? Sponsors want to push their publicity and donates the item WhoGets™, WhoGets™ conveniently reward people in a simple and fun method.

Check it out, I thought I wouldn't find anything interesting but seems like I'm wrong because the thing I long for (Palm pilot!) take part of the juicy free goodness.

Since when does AP bio become a weapon.

I heard that US experiences 0% growth rate, but what about those illegal aliens?

Sand people.

Walmart out run government and became the most powerful abiotic factor for poor homo sapiens.

I'm still searching for the meaning of the expression "you are my bitch now". Going to use that to people soon.

Swim with sharks is very safe, no one dare to attack you when there is a shark around.

I think Newton first believes gravity when he found that larger breasts have more attraction. P=MV... M=mass, V=velocity, P = momentum, wow... Physics is perfect.

Without pirating, Shakespeare might not be able to harm our brain everyday.

Propaganda pornos in China is the only thing that still convincing people(mostly unmarried males) that communist is good.

Squirrels kills people.

Talk Haiku must be really annoying, that's why all Haikuers died.

In my house, I can curse 10 times per day, after that, it's 1 penny fine. If I don't get fined for a week, I get free 10 curse word. On Christmas, you get to curse whenever you want, it's Christmas spirit.
