Woah i better blog today if not it will be at least a week since i last blog. Well did not really blog this week due to some emotional reasons. Loads of things happened last week and some of them are really not worth mentioning at all. Wanted to blog on Thursday, but after reading someone's post, it made me change my mind totally about it.

So last week. Went to Sim Lim Square with Jade! We went there to get her hard disk which she needed to replace the spoilt one in her laptop. We got a 80gb one and it costed her $93. I could not believe the price, it is almost a dollar to a gb now for laptop hard drives. Perhaps it is time for me to upgrade my laptop's hard drive to something that will last me long. Perhaps i will wait for the price of 120gb hard drive to drop to around $1 a gb. Then thats around the right time for me. So got Jade's laptop fixed and actually managed to retrieve her lost data in her spoilt hard drive. Im such a kind person la. Do all these for her. She wanted to treat me to something but i was like "NO~~~". How can a guy be treated by a girl? So totally wrong! Then we negotiated and stuff. But end result was still no. haha!

I got my PI back. It really is so stupid. I did not know that i must define difficult words in the PI and i did not really know that "attenuation" is a difficult word. Is "attenuation" really a difficult word? So any way, my PI needs to be improved on but i have totally no idea of how to.

OH OH! I got my gigantic battery charged already! But both me and my father gave up the idea of using our circuit to charge cause it was too much a hassle. He brought home a laboratory power supply from his office and we used it to charge that big big battery. We used constant current to charge it at 2 ampere. Took like erm 20+ hours to get it fully charged. And the 20 hours is because we could not take it anymore to wait for it to be charged so we increased the current to 2.5amps. Now i got a super big capacity 12V car battery and hmm whats in my mind? A amplifier running from it? Not likely cause 12V is seriously not enough to provide enough voltage swings for loud music levels. Preamp running off battery? Possible but i don't need a preamp. CD player runnign off battery? Most likely!

Next week and the week after is the full of test week. Total crap. Taking a break now from all that reading to blog. Okay, i better get back to mugging.
