Caught 17 Again last Friday with HS and EK at Causeway, after an impromptu visit to HS’ place to fix his computer problem. Although audience was made up of primarily young people, I saw quite a few old people watching the show as well. All in all, a funny show, albeit a little bit too short – Zac Efron’s movie contract must be expensive. Speaking of which, he’s slated to star in the Full Metal Panic movie, and I hope its not a botched up job. The DVD and Blu-Ray release had English dubbed audio which totally does not portray the characters’ emotions well enough, in comparison to the Japanese track. Hopefully its not carried over to the movie, if the movie is ever made.
Went out on Saturday to pick up this hard disk drive at Sim Lim Square after a lunch buffet in Marina Square with my ex-colleagues. The food was so-so (and so is the service), but it is cheap, provided you don’t order too much drinks, as the drink is quite expensive. This hard drive is to replace my old 750GB Seagate Barracuda ES external hard drive which I got off eBay. Although its enterprise-grade, I have no idea why the write speeds are atrociously low, even compared to other hard drives of the same generation. Thus, backing up data is a painfully slow process, and I decided to get a new one, and use my existing 1TB hard drive as the backup and using this as the secondary drive in my computer. Next step would be to clear out my cupboard of all my old CDs and DVDs that I have accumulated in the past 10 years or so, and consolidate all the data to a hard drive, as I’ve realized that most of my cupboard space is taken up by them.
