The Last Bath

I’ve been really busy the past couple of days. Good thing almost everything is done, except for my final year project though. That will take another 5 months to complete. 5 hellish months. But no complaining, I just have to get it done one way or the other. I hope I did well enough this semester, each and every credit point this year would be taken into account for my degree award. This year is no time to be slacking. But I still am >.<

Anyway, this was my motherboard, and still is albeit a not working one.

A few days ago, I did something to it most people wouldn’t.

Yup. I bathed it. It has served for quite some time. 4 years and 1+ month to be exact. I thought it’d be kind of sad if I let it die in such a dusty state. So I gave it its last bath. Oh, and the first too. I must admit it looks sparkly like brand new after the bath. Except it’s not a very conventional way of cleaning motherboards. Not for any electronic devices, for that matter. But I’ll actually try to start it up again later. It might miraculously work ^.^

Last night I went out with a few friends to watch Next. The movie itself didn’t get many good reviews from critics. But I kind of liked it. Don’t worry - no spoilers here. I like the story’s concept and how things unfolded in the movie. The storyline doesn’t unfold as chronologically linear as most movie, but hey, you can expect no less from a guy who can see the future! I must admit that the ending felt a bit rushed, and rather unsatisfying, but overall it’s a unique action movie that departs from run-of-the-mill action movie concept of entertaining audience with the standard stuff like mega-explosions and karate-chops. Go watch it :)

  7. Why in the world would I want to do that?!

    Unfortunately after the bath, the poor guy refused to even boot. I guess he’s dead for good :(
