Revise of the poem
All feel so nice,so sweet
Until you broken my heart
I need to suffer the pain myself
I need to be a good pretender
To lessen your worry
I already give you a special gift
That is my heart
With your name etch on it
I don't need to own you to be happy
But please don't seal your heart
I will always be the one by your side,supporting you
My shoulder will always be ready for you
That all i am asking for
I finally understand the term:Love Is Blind
And it is really blind
All blinded by you
To my lover,chassandra
Can i be the person stand by your side,supporting you??

A poem
Here is my poem,hope you like it:
My heart is melted by you
All feel so nice,so sweet
Until you broken my heart 3
I don't need to own you to be happy
But please,don't close your heart
And i will forever be the stranger
I will always be there for you when you need me
I will be the person who stand by your side,listen to your rant,making you happy
Even through i am sad and my heart is broken
Please,open your heart and let me walk into it
That all i am asking for
Yes,i know love is blind
And finally i understand it
Please,open your heart and let me walk in
To my lover,chassandra.
My heart is broken now and i don't think it will heal so fast.Please,enjoy the privilege you have.Sorry for the crappy poem as my writing is bad.Thanks.

Overclocking
Shall we start now?
What is overclocking?
Overclocking is making your computer run faster then stock speed.The higher speed you run,the more heat it is going to produce so there are various way of cooling.
Why to overclock?
There are a variety of reason to overclock,some is too poor to buy higher end hardware,gaming is laggy,benchmarking,get more value for money.......
Benchmarking
Overclocking often involve benchmarking.Benchmarking is some program that allow 2 computer performance to be compare and we ofter race in benchmarking.
Why i overclock?
I overclock for benchmarking and daily usage/get more value for money and currently,i am starting to go hardcore in overclocking.
Type of benchmarking
There are several type of benchmarking.The longest benchmark around and my favorite benchmarking is Super PI,it is simple but fun and very sensitive to increase in cpu speed.Then,there are wprime,cinebench,pifast,mpi for 2d benchmarking.Then there are 3dmark for 3d benchmark.There are 3dmark 01se,3dmark03,3dmark05,3dmark06 and 3dmark vantage soon with aquamark as well.
Does overclock have sense?
In my opinion,there are no sense in hardcore overclocking,everyone just keep racing benchmark and spend ton and ton of $$$ for benchmark/overclocking purpose hardware/cooling.
This is it,part 1 of overclocking article.

The Unhealthy Reality Love
The Story of Terence and Amanda
When I first got to know of Terence, he was at the peak of his life. Soon to be the heir of a very large public listed company in Malaysia, he had his life cut out for him.
Whether he was going to work or not, he was going to live a comfortable life.
He drove the flashiest BMWs, frequented the VIP areas of the coolest clubs and being a guy, spent money on every gadget his heart desired. Terence knew how to enjoy money.Guys like that appear on the radar quite quickly for some of the hottest girls in the night life circuit.
One girl took notice, her name was Amanda and she was by any means one of the hottest girls that any guy would ever lay their eyes on.
She could walk from the South Court to the North Court of MidValley and at least 10 guys to turn their heads and look at her... she was as hot as this.
Amanda was ambitious.
She knew exactly what she wanted in life and it wasn't a flourishing career up the corporate ladder, it was security... financial security to be exact and she saw that in Terence.
Terence wasn't perfect and as a person had his own set of flaws like any other man, but it didn't matter... the bank account that his family came with was enough to make up for it and to be fair... there's no cry no foul for Amanda liking that part of him.
Donald Trump's beautiful wife was one asked if she would have fallen for Donald Trump if he wasn't rich.
She replied
"Do you think Donald would fall for me if I weren't beautiful?"Which hit the point exactly.
Amanda whether with her beauty or charm or personality managed to eventually hook Terence.
Months into the relationship, Amanda got pregnant.
Terence's high profile family struggled to deal with the problem.
They at one point considered having an abortion but Amanda would refuse anything less than a marriage so that the baby had a proper home to stay with.
Tied with Terence's mistake, Terence decided to go ahead with the marriage and eventually got the support of his parents. Some people wonder whether it was Amanda's plan all along to get Terence to marry her to tie him down.... but that is a question nobody but Amanda will know how to answer.
A few years later into the marriage, a crisis hit Terence's family business.... the 1997 financial crisis to be exact. Just before 1997, many Malaysian companies were on an expansion path with the KLSE being one of the highest traded markets in the world in terms of volume.
To expand, you need money and when you're a huge public listed company, getting banks to lend you money isn't too much of a problem.Now once you've decided that you want to borrow money to grow your business, the next question lies on the Cost of Borrowing or simply... the interest rate.
The interest rate in Malaysia is relatively higher than the interest rate from the many developed countries overseas so many local companies borrowed in USD from overseas banks, Terence's family business was no different.
When the financial crisis hit, the ringgit depreciated from RM2.5 to USD1.00 to something like RM5-6 to USD1.00.
That means if you borrowed RM100,000,000 before the crisis, that figure inflated to RM200,000,000 after the crisis. Terence's family business tanked overnight and his father was declared a bankrupt.Terence's life was quick to change. He no longer spent as much as he did and he went out to find a job. Amanda too had to find one.
Fortunately for Terence, he was smart and he went to a good university so finding a job wasn't too much of a problem for him. Amanda too had graduated with a degree but working wasn't really quite her thing, she found herself in a bit of a fix.
Just two years later, Terence caught Amanda cheating on him with an older man. He was dumbfounded and depressed.
What the hell was going on that this woman he had a baby boy with had to be cheating on him with an older man.
Some say... it was because of the financial security that wealthier older man had... some say... love is blind.
They eventually filed for divorce. Terence kept the only child they had and Amanda went on to marry the older man to live the life of a socialite.
The story of Terence and Amanda got me thinking about one thing... about the ups and downs of life.
It is inevitable that in anyone's life, especially where business is involved, there will be ups, there will be downs. Richard Branson's successful Virgin Atlantic airlines had almost failed once but today stands tall with a fleet of aircraft and a brand name to die for.
Closer to home, I have met many rich businessmen with wealth in the millions. Many of which have told me how they had succeeded, then failed... then picked themselves up to succeed again.
People will always have their ups and downs (and don't get me wrong.. ups and downs need not be measured simply with dollar signs).
I feel that right now I may perhaps on a small scale be experiencing my 'UP' or at least on the way "UP". One day... I may very well face my down. Things can and will go wrong.
Hence, the girl I will eventually end up with need not be really pretty.
She need not be cute. She need not be hot. She need not be sexy.
The one thing she needs to be though is strong and committed.
Strong enough to give me her strength when I am down... and committed enough to sit with me through the storm.
http://timothytiah.blogspot.com/2008/03/story-of-terence-and-amanda.html
I agree on that.A good relationship partner need to be presistant,strong and committed.That what that matter and i still haven't found such a person yet.Hope me luck.

Social Dominant
This will be one hell long of article so please bear with me and drop a comment.This might not be the best article for this subject because my understanding of ladder theory is rather rough.
What is Social Dominant?
Social Dominant is pretty much the perfect guy to girl.This only apply to male and to those who go for pretty girl.
What make you and what don't
To be a social dominant person you need to be:
a.)Reasonable attractive in term of physical appearance
b.)You are top person in your field.(CEO,successful doctor and lawyer,top student.....)
c.)You are a smart person and you give intelligence response
d.)You know how to handle your problem
e.)You are not a slave for girl
What don't make you a social dominant person:
a.)You are unattractive
b.)You don't have social dominant personality
c.)You are the bottom of your field
d.)Most important,you are daft and you won't give intelligent respone
e.)You are a slave for girl
As you can see,you are pretty much perfect when you are social dominant person and you can go after any chicks in the world(Angela Jolie and all the A list).
Real Life Example(Just a scene):
There are a boy,name his A and there are a girl,well name her as B.
A is a huge boy,his force is enough to make you dead by pushing alone.He have the anger of a social dominant person.But he only give nonsense response and he is
the last place in class with an average of 30%!That is rock bottom.
B is a reasonable attractive girl.She is friendly and she have a lot of people around her.She could make you fall for her and drive you crazy.
One fine day,A is taking B stuff and show off to people!
Imagine,someone who is male and taking girl stuff while girl is doing nothing!Like Jeremy Clarkson taking his spouse bag and his spouse is doing nothing.Funny is it?
Case study
A already make a lot of mistake.That make him a slave for girl.And he is brainless so he is a very non social dominant person.He probably stuck in friend ladder and definitely won't be the potential partner of b,even if male extinct in the world.
What about non social dominant person?
Will a non social dominant person have a gf/spouse?Yes but have to settle for less.
Thanks for taking your precious time to read my long winding article.Enjoy reading and be a social dominant person.Leave a comment ya.

My PC Fair experience and Point Of View
Saturday
Vincent meet me up at Low Yat at 6pm or so.Then we go to eat nasi lemak at oldtown.Then we proceed our journey to this pc fair.After a 20minutes walk,finally there.The crowd is not a lot,quite a pleasure consider what am i use to at pc fair.So,go to pc fair Saturday,the crowd is lesser when compare to Sunday.And to my surprise,team KOC is there to do demo at Abit and Gecube booth!So i walk up and greet my friend,coolice then ask him some detail about what is him testing.He is testing Abit AX78,X2 5000+ BE,his Team Xtreem OPB,Gecube Radeon 3870X2.He only get 13k 3dmark06 and 135k aquamark thanks to AMD platform which bottleneck the graphic card.And all this on chill water!!Then i continue to walk around pc fair.Due to time constraint we only manage to walk g floor.And i buy Tuniq TX2 and a headphone with mic for RM20+RM20,not bad.We proceed to walk back to Low Yat Plaza at 9:30PM.
Sunday
Today,Vincent meet me at Low Yat Plaza at 4pm or so.Then we proceed our way to pc fair.After a quick walk we are there.I am there mostly to see Team KOC doing their showcase.The crowd is a lot as usual for Sunday pc fair.Sadly,me and Bryan put each other plane so we don't meet up at there.After a while,time to go to 3rd floor.I visit Olympus booth and try E3 + 14-35 F2,fantastic combo but i won't get 14-35 F2 due to the rather short range.And i bump into mhfahfur from pm and we both chit chat for a while.We leave at 6:50PM or so.
Point Of View
PC Fair is a nice place to walk around and see.If you want to buy rig or laptop there,do enough of homework before hand or else sure will be con.If you are buying small item,it is nice and will be cheap.If you want to buy anything big,go to Low Yat Plaza,it will be a lot more convince,espically during PC Fair period.All the crowd is at pc fair so you can shop without hassle and you know who sell you the item.It is also a lot easier to carry all the item back.PC Fair is a huge hassle when you buy something costly and big.Will i attend PC Fair in future,yes but i won't buy anything big.This pc fair is quite disappointed,there are no any good hardware to show other than what Team KOC show but AMD is bottlenecking ATI Radeon 3870X2.

Gaming PC Buying Guide Part 1 and 14k 3dmark
Have you even wondering what part to get when build a PC?Here an article i write at school since i am bored as hell.Sorry for poor english,my grammar suck.This is what i can come out with.
A guide to get the most value for gaming rig
Before we start,here is some guideline:
1st,Don't upgrade base on your existing rig if it is outdated(S939,P4).You will end up getting less for your money and experience a processor bottleneck when couple with current gen high end graphic card.
2nd,Don't go for prebuild system,go to DIY route.It is easy to assemble a rig nowadays.
3rd,Do more homework before buying.There are a lot of forum around,just google it.
4th,Buy highly overclockable core component.
5th,Recycle your existing non core component will save some money as well(Case,PSU,HDD,Optical Drive).
6th,In some case scenario,go 1 generation back is good.Old high end video card can be had for today mid end card.Explain more in Video Card section.
Let us start now:
1.)Processor
Processor is the core of every computer so it is important to pick a good one.
Depend on your budget,i find the latest Core 2 Duo E8400/Xeon E3110(45nm,gigantic 6MB cache,3ghz,333FSBx9,~RM800) is the most value for money for a gaming rig.They are highly overclockable(~4.2ghz 24/7 on air) and consume less power when compare to thier 65nm counterpart.
For video/photo editing rig,go for Q6600 or Q8450.Q6600 is easier to oc due to 9x multi when compare to 8xmulti of Q9450 but have a higher heat output.Q6600 can be had for rock bottom price now,RM850 or so.Q9450 haven't hit the shelve but should be RM1200 or so.It is basically 2xE8200 on one die.
For budget rig,go for Pentium Dual Core E2160.Basically a water down version of 65nm conroe core,it come with less cache(1MB) and lower bus(200).But these chip is fun to play with!Get it to 3.384ghz before from stock 1.8ghz!!This chip usually hit 3ghz without huge HSF.Higher multiplier don't mean better overclock for some reason so E2160 is the best buy at RM220.
Motherboard
For motherboard,go for those with P35 chipset for now,don't bother with 650i/750i.The good nvidia chipset is 790i but it use DDR3 and the price is uber expensive.For SLI board,go for EVGA A1 revision 680SLI/780SLI,nothing less.
For P35 board,low end have some serious contender,these little board can go 500FSB and cost is ~RM350.These board are Abit IP35E and DFI Blood Iron P35-T2RL.
For midrange market,there are some awesome board with good overclockablity and good layout.These board are Abit IP35 Pro/Foxconn Mars/DFI LP DK P35-T2RS.
For high end CF board,go for DFI LP UT X48-T2R/Asus Rampage Formula,these are seriously the king of the hill when come to performance and have pretty good overclocking reputation.
Ram
For ram,go for value ram if you are really tight on budget.Team Value is good from my knowledge.
For mid level market,Team Elite DDR 2 800 2GB kit is good,those can do DDR 2 1200,5-5-5-15,2.2V!Pretty good for RM195 ram but newer one is bad.
For high end/overclocker market,go for Team Xtreem DDR 2 800 C4 2GB Kit(RM270!!) or Crucial Ballistix DDR 2 800C4 2GB Kit but it is a mixed bag,some are good some are bad,my Tracer DDR 2 800C4 pair is not very good,only can do 564mhz,5-4-4-12@2.35V.
For 4GB Kit,go for Crucial Ballistix 4GB DDR 2 800 Kit,i have seen 570mhz or so,5-5-5-15 before and best of all,it only cost RM375!!
And,don't bother with Corsair/OCZ DDR 2 800 2GB Kit,these are value ram with heatspreader slap on it.
Video Card
For video card,this is like the turbocharger for gaming rig,there are several type avalible on market.Don't go for those model with more memory but slower speed(GDDR2).Go for those with less but faster memory(GDDR3).256MB DDR3 can eat 1GB DDR 2 due to more bandwidth.Sometime,go for used high end card instead of brand new mid end card.These card is more powerful and have the wow factor.
For entry level market,don't go for 8600GT/2600XT,go for used Radeon X1800/19X0 or Nvidia Geforce 7800/79x0,these are better card for the same price.
For mid end market,don't go for 9600GT.Go for used 8800GTS G80 A3 revision,these are some serious card.These card can overclock from stock 500core/1400shader to 700core/1800shader.This card can eat 9600GT and keep up with 8800GT at about the same speed with latest driver.
For higher mid end market,8800GT/3870 is still a good buy.Galaxy 8800GT 512MB@RM725 is the best deal,it is pre vmod from factory and come with dual slot cooler.clawhammer of LYN have done 15k with dual core(E8200@4ghz),all on air!
For highest end market,i think HD3870X2 is the best buy but i like Nvidia 9800GX2 more through.Can't go wrong with one of the card,both is seriously powerful card.
I heard red camp is coming out with HD3850X2,should be an attractive option if the price is right.
Thanks for your time to read this article.That it for now until i have mood and time to complete this article.Cooling solution,Casing and PSU for the next part.
Thanks.Please leave a comment after reading it.
And yeh,
Just get 14115 3dmark06.
Configuration:
Intel E8400@446x9(4014,hz),Abit IP35 Pro,Xigmatek SHDT1283 with 180cfm NMB 12cm fan(Thanks Bryan),Crucial Ballistix Tracer 2Gb DDR 2 800 Kit@446mhz,4-4-4-8-2T,PNY 8800GT 512MB@720core/1782shader,975memory,Sony SATA DVD-RW,Segate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB HDD,In Win 350W Chicken Brand PSU,Lian Li OEM PC7A plus II with side panel,using 174.74 driver with some optimization.

Hi
Now,let me introduce myself,my name is Brian,known as OC4/3,Kid Shotter by various forum.Currently i am 14,study in second grade@SM(K) Taman Eshan,located at Kepong.This blog will mainly keep track of all my overclocking journey and stuff and my new hardware and my daily life.Hope all of you will like it.
I am a passion driven,persistent,friendly person,that how i will describe myself.
Some self Potrait:
