New Computer

I haven’t been writing as of late, and frankly I don’t have anything I want to talk about or discuss. I did assemble myself a new computer. I’m overwhelmingly satisfied with it, considering that the whole set-up only cost me (my dad) S$747 and is a good 3-5 times faster than my previous one. 2GB [...]
