UWC IPO

~Curious~ — Thu, 20 Jun 2019 11:11:22 +0800

Hi,
Im new to stock trading so I tot I'd start with buying IPOs.One that caught my eye is UWC
However,I searched d forum and no one is talking about it.Is that good or bad? Hahaha

https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/uwc-...main-market-ipo

I watched a youtube video that mentioned that 33% of the revenue from sales of its IPO will go towards paying its debt? i am unable to verify this tho.

1)How does this impact its performance on listing on Bursa?

2) From what I understand, this company is pretty aggressive in growth. Does that translate to lesser dividends per share?

less than 1 year old HP Pavillion performance slow

~Curious~ — Wed, 19 Apr 2017 11:36:12 +0800

Hi guys, so I bought a HP Pavilion 15-ak032TX last year around August if not mistaken..
- I don't intend to use it for heavy gaming, just need a capable noteboook so I can run some VMs to learn coding hehe..
- I've resetted the notebook a few times when I first bought it (to get rid of the bloatwares) and performance after I resetted was the same as before reset.

My problem now is:
- performance has slowed down considerably since then, n I didn't reset in between.
- takes like 10s to boot up
- from login, takes another 5s to show the desktop

Additional info?:
- From the box, it is running on Windows 10
- have not installed any virtualization software as I was procrastinating and now the slowness is putting me off
- I haven't installed the NVidia GeForce driver thingy
- No antivirus installed.
- I've got 12gb RAM on this machine

- So I did another reset hoping to rid myself of this slowness,Still did not get rid of it. I suspect it is the Windows updates that make it slow.
Plz advise me on how to fix this..

Need recommendations

~Curious~ — Thu, 25 Aug 2016 11:36:32 +0800

Hi sifus,
Im looking to buy a new laptop..I'm kinda not so good at technical aspects, not yet anyway, so any recommendation is much appreciated.

1. I want a notebook that has zippy performance, especially when multitasking,so I guess 1 with at least 16GB RAM and SSD should be what I'm looking for.

2. I don't really game alot,just I need to run code editors and similar software alot,i'm learning how to do software programming.

3. My budget is arnd RM4k...cheaper better but pay peanuts and get monkeys rite =P

4. A big screen and at least 1920x1080 resolution wud be nice, but I can always extend the display to an external monitor

5. I need the occasional portability but will mostly use it as a desktop.

6. Since Im quite careless and rough,, I'd prefer a notebook that can take a few bumps lol without breaking or going cuckoo.

7. I intend to keep this arnd for a long long time, so the parts should be easily swapped.

TIA for all your precious inputs.

NuSkin Galvanic Spa hacks

~Curious~ — Thu, 30 Oct 2014 23:37:06 +0800

Bought the spa set ady. Find it quite good, extracts the dirt jn my pores quite effectively.
hoping it will help with my enlarged pores and also oil seeds
anyway running low on the facial gels while waiting for nuskin to have another promo on them, and they r quite pricey.

so one of the recommended alternatives is Rankine's Remedies,can be bought from http://www.rankines.com/usa_world_store/usa_world_store.html. But has anyone used it before? issit as effective as the ageLOC gels??

any other alternatives to recommend?

beetroot juice

~Curious~ — Fri, 07 Mar 2014 11:05:44 +0800

Hi all,
been consuming beetroot + burdock juice daily for the past few weeks.Initially poo n pee normal coloured la,but a week or two later poo n pee started was beetroot red.stopped immediately oonce that happened.
.I googled and the incidence of passing out the beetroot colour is common to most ppl who drink beetroot juice.but i was wondering izzit normal to poo normally then few weeks later only got red poo?i mean if ur stomach cant digest the colourant then it would have shown up in a few days rather than a week later right?
