I have no friends. Is that normal?

404xfound — Fri, 15 May 2020 11:45:35 +0800

Since I was a kid I never had many friends. I was too quiet and introverted. After graduating I lost contact with most of my friends. It didn't bother me though because we weren't close anyway.

I do feel like I'm abnormal though. Everyone I know (coworkers, cousins, etc) has at least one friend no matter the situation.

What are your favourite drinks at home?

Anyone got fat staying at home?

404xfound — Tue, 12 May 2020 12:16:53 +0800

I promised myself to lose weight during MCO but gained 2kg instead. I think will get at least 1 more kg before June 9th lol.

Anyone dealing with OCD?

404xfound — Fri, 08 May 2020 23:21:58 +0800

I have symmetry ocd. It means that I have this strong urge to align and adjust things around me so that they appear perfectly straight and neat and "balanced".

I also have this weird gaming ocd where I try my best to play in a perfect way (for example getting detected even once in a stealth based game will prompt me to restart the checkpoint/mission or reload a save file).

It doesn't seriously affect my life but can be annoying sometimes. My friends/family like to tease me about it lol.

Do you have any ocd? Do they ever go away?

Streamyx high ping and major speed drop

404xfound — Wed, 15 Apr 2020 16:17:35 +0800

Anyone else getting high ping and inconsistent speed recently? I guess it's due to everyone staying at home. Can't even play online games properly without lagging and disconnecting.

Debit card suddenly invalid on PSN store

Was working fine a few days ago... Anyone else have the same issue or just me

Can employers deduct our salary or not? (Covid-19)

404xfound — Wed, 25 Mar 2020 13:39:14 +0800

Due to the covid-19 situation, I'm sure a lot of us have been asked to take unpaid leave. My boss asked me to take a whole month off. He indirectly dropped hints to us that our salary will be deducted accordingly.

Can he actually do that?

Worried about IC copy.

404xfound — Wed, 25 Mar 2020 02:35:46 +0800

Long story short, someone from TM called me via a handphone number to inform me that unifi is available in my area (finally!). She politely confirmed my information with me (ic number, address, phone number) and asked me if I'd like to upgrade my streamyx to unifi. I said yes and she told me they can send a technician to my home next month IF the covid-19 situation becomes better. I told her they can take their time because I understand the situation.

Here's the problem though, she asked me to send her a copy of my IC. I didn't think twice about it so I gave it to her like a careless idiot (snapped a photo for her). Not to mention she used a handphone number. Now that I think about it, I'm worried that she might be a agent or scammer.

Can she do anything fishy with my IC copy? I hope I'm just being paranoid.

TM staff called me from handphone. Scammer?

404xfound — Tue, 24 Mar 2020 23:13:03 +0800

So today someone from TM called me using a handphone number. She told me Unifi is finally available in my area (it's true though) and asked me if I'd like to upgrade my current package. Actually I wanted to upgrade directly at TM centre last month but I was too busy and when I was finally free, covid-19 became serious so I can't do that anymore.

She asked me for my IC photo and double confirmed everything with me (my address, ic number, phone number etc). Told me they'd upgrade my package once the virus calmed down a bit (hopefully). Can I trust her? She didn't try to push me like a salesman normally would though.

Anyone else's jaw make clicking sound?

404xfound — Sat, 14 Mar 2020 23:28:05 +0800

My jaw has been making clicking/cracking noise when I open my mouth too wide (or when I'm biting). It isn't painful though. Is this normal? I looked it up online and it's called tmj or something. Not sure if I should waste money and visit the doc

How to treat huge face pores / pimple scars?

404xfound — Mon, 02 Mar 2020 13:07:14 +0800

I used to have bad acne all over my face. Now that they are gone I'm left with some scars and big pores as souvenirs. My friends suggested me to go visit beauty centre but I'm a guy and have zero knowledge regarding face beauty. I don't want to get scammed because I know a lot of beauty treatment tak boleh pakai one.

Anyone have any advice? Thanks a lot!

Does Persona 5 Royal have English version?

404xfound — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 11:14:35 +0800

I only saw Chinese version in PSN store. Is English version coming soon? Does anyone know?

Debit card suddenly not valid.

404xfound — Fri, 31 Jan 2020 09:43:20 +0800

Anyone has the same problem? I was using the same card just fine the last couple days. It's 100% still valid so I'm not sure if this is a PSN problem or something else.

Anyone playing Modern Warfare?

404xfound — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 22:26:09 +0800

How's the ping? I'd like to buy the game but I'm not sure if the Asia server (if there is one) is laggy or not

Newbie epf question

404xfound — Wed, 14 Aug 2019 20:18:46 +0800

From what I understand, epf = employee 11%, employer 13%. So if my salary is RM1500, does that mean RM1500 + RM 195 (13%) = RM1695 ---> RM1695 - RM165 (11%, saved into epf account) = RM1530?

Thank you! Sorry, my math really sucks.

What is the recent unifi lite price drop about?

404xfound — Sat, 10 Aug 2019 09:55:24 +0800

Unifi isn't available in my area so the best I could get is just Streamyx 8mbps (which is RM140++/month, sucks). Recently I saw a lot of people talking about unifi lite RM69 something.. is that for unifi user only? Or do Streamyx users get to enjoy the price drop as well?

Thank you!

Question about EPF

404xfound — Tue, 09 Jul 2019 01:48:38 +0800

Can an employer see an employee's private EPF details (balance, previous employment, etc) through their EPF number (when they bank in the epf payment for us)? I don't have much working experience (still studying) and not all of my previous jobs offered me EPF payment so I'm curious how it works.

Please help. Is my modem dying?

404xfound — Sun, 02 Jun 2019 21:33:41 +0800

I've been using the default modem (2 years old now I think) that came with my Streamyx 8mbps package (no unifi here sadly). Recently my line won't stop dropping/disconnecting (happens on every devices:phone, pc, gaming console). Everything will freeze and become unresponsive for a few seconds and then become normal again and the cycle continues (sending online messages, using Google search, YouTube etc...). Oh also my modem DSL light has been OFF for a month or so (not sure what that means though because I can still access the internet)

Anyway, I tried calling 100 but the guy who answered me couldn't fix anything, only asked me to restart my devices which was not very helpful. My internet speed is fine and normal. Is my modem dying? Should I buy a new modem?

Modem no DSL light. What does that mean?

404xfound — Sat, 25 May 2019 21:38:05 +0800

I googled it and it said something about telephone line. I'm no tech savvy so I didn't really understand though. Anyway, I checked my wires and cables, everything was intact and my internet connection is working fine (the internet light is on) but the DSL light is off. Sometimes it blinks on for a few seconds before disappearing again.

Where to buy 100% original PS4 controller?

404xfound — Wed, 10 Apr 2019 23:11:16 +0800

Any trusted website or stores? Last time I bought one from a local game store (RM230+ or so) but it didn't seem very original (felt slightly weird and stiff compared to the real original one which came with the PS4 I bought years ago)

Should I buy it at Sony center?
