Can't use debit card for Google Play purchases

Tim_88DN — Sat, 08 Aug 2015 11:46:12 +0800

Early this year i recently exchanged my soon-to-disintegrate CIMB bankcard of 7 years to the debit card. i tried using the card's function to purchase online, that is, to do in-app purchases at Google Play. after for quite sometime, suddenly i cannot do any transactions in which after calling CIMB CS, they said that Google Wallet, that handles Google Play's payment has been blocked due to suspicion of fraud.

so now im stuck of not able to do any purchases on Google Play. I wonder if CIMB is the only one blocking Google Wallet. Are other banks blocking it too as i'm trying to see if other banks can be used for online purchases via debit card.

Please enlighten me on this thing.

Cory Monteith, who played an upbeat and outgoing young student and singing coach on the hit Fox musical comedy series “Glee,” but who battled substance abuse, was found dead in a hotel room in Vancouver, British Columbia, on Saturday. He was 31.

2 jokes from me.....read on...

I've got 2 jokes for you.....got it from email.....

1. Snoring

These four friends went on vacation together. To save money, they
decided to sleep two to a room. No one wanted to room with Daryl because
he snored so badly. They decided it wasn't fair to make one of them stay
with him the whole time, so they voted to take turns.

The first guy slept with Daryl and comes to breakfast the next morning
with his hair a mess and his eyes all bloodshot. They said, "Man, what
happened to you?" He said, "Daryl snored so loudly, I just sat up and
watched him all night."

The next night it was a different guy's turn. In the morning, same thing
-- hair all standing up, eyes all blood-shot. They said, "Man, what
happened to you? You look awful!" He said, "Man, that Daryl shakes the
roof. I just watched him all night."

The third night was Frank's turn. Frank was a big burly ex-football
player; a man's man. The next morning he came to breakfast bright eyed
and bushy tailed. "Good morning," He said.

They couldn't believe it! They said, "Man, what happened?" He said,
"Well, we got ready for bed. I went and tucked Daryl into bed and kissed
him good night. He sat up and watched me all night.

3.7 reasons not to mess with children

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible. The little girl said, 'When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah'. The teacher asked, 'What if Jonah went to hell?' The little girl replied, 'Then you ask him'.

A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work. As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. The girl replied, 'I'm drawing God.' The teacher paused and said, 'But no one knows what God looks like.' Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, 'They will in a minute.'

A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to 'honor' thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, 'Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?' Without missing a beat one little boy (the oldest of a family) answered, 'Thou shall not kill.'

One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head.She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, 'Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?' Her mother replied, 'Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white.' The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, 'Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?'

The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. 'Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor.' A small voice at the back of the room rang out, 'And there's the teacher, she's dead.'

A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, 'Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face.' 'Yes,' the class said. 'Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into y feet?' A little fellow shouted, 'Cause your feet ain't empty.'

The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples the nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray: 'Take only ONE. God is watching.'Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. A child had written a note, 'Take all you want. God is watching the apples.'

I wonder if anyone has tried this modem...

Tim_88DN — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 22:23:56 +0800

Heya everyone,

I just recently found out by accident that there is a USB modem branded as Blue Cube...and no...I'm not talking about the Huawei E220 and not a rebranded one....it looks something like this...

If anyone knows about it...do tell me more about it...If any traders happen to sell this...do tell me more about it....

This is the Blue Cube 3G/3.5G USB Modem...so if anyone has used this modem....do share your experiences with it.

Thanks and hope for swift replies...

Tim_88DN — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 19:14:32 +0800

First of all I'm a newbie in here.....I questions to ask to cure my curiosity:

Recently I stumbled into the ads on Izzi Net in Star and purportedly to be a "4G" wireless internet.It offers quite a good package....but i'm skeptical about their service so I want to ask everyone......

1.how's their service?

2.is their service reliable?

3.Is it better than streamyx(for real)?

4.Is it better than any other ISPs?

5.Is there any ISPs that are good and reliable and worth my money?

I'm asking this because i'm currently looking for a wireless internet service which is reliable,good and worth my money.I'm a college student in Masterskill College in Cheras,Selangor.

Thanks for your time and have a nice day.
