Mechanical Engineering Specialization

Thumpy Ick — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 11:36:05 +0800

hello guys. i'm in form 5 right now and is considering what kind of career do i want to pursue in college. right now i'm kinda exploring the choices in mechanical engineering since my neighbor is one and i've heard good things about it from him.

the thing is, i'm not sure which field will be higher in demand for the next 5 years. i currently have my eyes set on environmental (energy) and robotics. could you guys tell me what you think of the two? i'm pretty certain i want to be in mechanical engineering, but still not sure what kind of specialization will i do. i know it's pretty darn early to think about it, but if you were down to these two choice which one would you choose? thanks guys

No. Unik ID for UPU

recently the radio news told me the tarikh tutup for UPU application is 31 December. i'm a SPM student, currently waiting for result. i have my no unik id with me, obtained from BSN.

i went to the MOHE site, fearing that i might exceed the closing date. so then i was in a page where it demands for my IC number and my No. UNIK ID.

everything seems okay until i saw the statement at Unik ID. it said " (6-8 alphanumeral)". i thought nothing of it at first, so i just typed in my ID. but then i got an error stating, Your ID no. is wrong. it must consist of numerals and alphabets.

mine was all numerals. so i'm wondering if anyone encounters this problem as well. do u have both numerals n alphabets or just numerals? and when's the closing date?

Problems with Seeing Korean Characters

Thumpy Ick — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 00:12:01 +0800

can anyone help me? i'm actually quite clueless on how to see korean or simplified chinese alphabets, so this is my first time trying. i use firefox and internet explorer.
one problem faced when using IE to view is that when the installation of korean language pack is in progress, suddenly it prompts me for a CD. and i dont have it.

any possible ways to do it with Firefox? there's the view->character coding, but it doesnt seem to work. or is there an alternative way to view the hangul characters????
