Frequent urination

Polar_012 — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 03:34:30 +0800

For these few months i have been going to the toilet frequently. In roughly 1 hour i would go to the toilet couple of times.

I am only 17 and each time i pee i do not have any pains nor difficulty to urine. As far as I'm sure of, I'm perfectly normal except the fact that i urine frequently. I tried drinking less amount of water but it feels that i do need to urine still but with less output of urine.

Today in the morning my mom intends to bring me for a checkup from the doctor. There's a BP Lab around my area but my mom say it's useless to go there without consulting a doctor 1st? Would it be suggested to go to the lab or attend a general practitioner at a local clinic?

Degree

Polar_012 — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 01:47:27 +0800

Recently few friends of my particularly those taken ADFP and SAM has finish their courses and started applying for courses and scholarships out of Malaysia.

I had taken up form 6 and STPM is about to finish. Is an STPM cert accepted by public universities in countries out of Malaysia? The prefered choices would be those in Asia particularly Singapore, Korea and Japan.

What about the private sector? Are STPM certs approved for private scholarships in those 3 countries?

Polar_012 — Sat, 20 Oct 2007 05:47:21 +0800

I'm gonna work soon. So i'm getting a car sometime soon as i need it to drive to my work location. The problem now is that time i would only be a fresh graduate with roughly maybe RM2000 salary.

Car down payment would be paid by my parents. What suitable car can i get new with a monthly installment of roughly RM1000?

Thanks.

SA

Is it still possible to enroll in either 1 of those for 2007 intake at this moment?

Which would best serve me?

Polar_012 — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 20:50:38 +0800

Okay i have this 3 choices of compact cameras. Canon Ixus 950 IS, Fuji F50fd and the Panasonic Lumix FX100. Which would be best for indoor shoots and maybe some outdoors shoot? Capable of taking great low lighting shots would be a plus. The lumix isn't really my choice and panasonic tends to have unsatisfactory reviews on their compacts.

Or if the 3 aren't good which would be suggested with a budget of +-RM1500?

Overclocking issues

Polar_012 — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 01:20:11 +0800

I'm new to overclocking and gone tru guides and I got few questions/problems on my overclock and probably more to come.

What is the purpose of tightening ram's timing? Before raising the FSB, I loosen the timings by increasing the value, usually 5-5-5-12. Why is that so and why must we tighten it back later on.

Let's say i set the FSB:RAM ratio 1:1. I raise the FSB to 400. Is the ram's exact speed 200MHz and doubles it to 400Mhz(dual data rate) or does it has a speed of 400Mhz and runs at 800Mhz due to DDR?

Before raising the FSB must i lower the RAM's frequency to the lowest? Let's say if i didn't lower it and i'm using a PC6400 ram with 800Mhz with 400Mhz exact speed. With an E4400 with a stock FSB of 200Mhz i raise it to 365. Would my ram speed raise 165 to 565(1130)?

I have gone tru many guides but seldom there is any mention of overclocking the nb or the sb. Does raising the FSB affects the nb or sb?

A C2D E4400 has a multiplier of 10x while a C2D E6320 has a multiplier of 7x. Does that mean E4400 would have a higher OC?

Can someone explain to me why a 457(FSB) x 7(multiplier) = 3.2GHz performs better than a 320(FSB) x 10(multi) = 3.2Ghz?

Thank you.

Compact camera recommendation

Polar_012 — Sun, 05 Aug 2007 19:04:14 +0800

Can someone recommend me a compact camera with a price tag of around RM1500? No specific purpose. Mainly normal daily usage, preferably with good image quality.

Inaccurate readings

Polar_012 — Sun, 05 Aug 2007 00:59:15 +0800

Okay i get a reading of 22 degrees on my cores and abnormal readings in other temps and also the 12V railings. I was using Gigabyte 965p-ds3 and C2D e6320. I updated to the latest bios and the readings are the same.

Then i used a Gigabyte P35-DS3 and a C2D E4400 and i get almost the same reading. And why is that so? Everything else is the same but the processor and the motherboard.

Burning bootable CD-ROM

Polar_012 — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 01:01:38 +0800

How can i burn an ISO image into a bootable CD-rom?

Thanks.

Receipt

Polar_012 — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 21:22:28 +0800

I bought a processor and motherboard from Viewnet. Both items are listed in the same receipt. If i intend to sell 1 of the items how can i separate my receipt?

I mean if i give the receipt to the buyer what if i need the receipt for my other item.

Thanks.

Trade-in for another item

Polar_012 — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 18:56:28 +0800

I bought a Gigabyte 965P-DS3 from Viewnet roughly a month ago. Till now it has not been removed from the anti-static bag. Obviously it has not been used either, therefore it's a perfectly new board. The question now is if i were to bring it back to Viewnet at Lowyat Plaza would i be eligible to trade-in and top-up some amount of cash for a new Gigabyte P35-DS3 board?

E&E Engineering

Polar_012 — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 02:00:45 +0800

I intend to do E&E engineering. Is taking the degree in UTAR adviseable? How is the environment there?

There are some that said UTAR certs are not recognise by goverment. What does that mean?

How much would the fees for the whole 4 year degree roughly be?

Head got hit

Polar_012 — Sat, 23 Jun 2007 20:06:32 +0800

Okay this is what happened to me today. In the early morning i sit in a Kancil owned by a driving school to send me to a school location and the driver is so irresponsible. He doesn't slow down before he hits a bump.

Okay straight to the point. I was sleepy because left at 7am and slept in the car leaning against the window and when he hits a bump my head bounce up and hit the window frame. I was sleepy so i continue sleeping and tru the whole journey my head was hit against the frame few times maybe 5 or so. It wasn't that pain as that time.

Now when i came back home it feels pain when i touch it and i think it's swollen abit.

Am i going to be alright? Is my head alright because the flesh and skin there is soaring since afternoon?

Will it induce scalp cancer? I mean long term usage.

What is the effect towards the hair then?

Amway supplementary diet pills

Polar_012 — Sun, 17 Jun 2007 01:57:56 +0800

For sometime now my mom has been following this diet by Amway. It consist of taking multiple pills for breakfast. My mom grinds the pills together with fruits and drink it. The problem is everyday she grinds like 10-15 pills and drink it one shot. The drink is very thick with grinded pills. It is reccomended by Amway, but i ain't very sure of it's usage and it's safety. The pills are protein, fibre, calcium, B complex and many more. I don't really trust them especially being a MLM company.

CPU Core Speed

Polar_012 — Sat, 16 Jun 2007 22:03:21 +0800

My CPU core speed is running higher than it used to be. It was running at 1.8GHz but currently it's running at 3GHz. It's a Dell notebook. This happened when i got my hard disk replaced with a new one.
