Attempted Scam

pleasuresaurus — Wed, 05 Dec 2018 15:21:27 +0800

Forumer you are complaining against: Some one pretending to be a user named TamashiiHeroes

Item being sold/bought: No purchase as yet

Original thread link: https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=3875003&hl=

Date of transaction: n/a

Details of the complaint :

Yesterday 04/12/18, I posted an inquiry on a thread by TamashiiHeroes selling PS4 games, requesting best price for a PS game CD.

I immediately received a whatsapp message from a person claiming to be TamashiiHeroes, stating he is willing to sell the game for a discounted price included postage. I was urged to pay immediately so he can post the Cd out for me.

This scammers details as follows:

Phone number: 017 666 1562
Maybank : 162013018011
Name of Acc Holder : Wan Mohamed Shafie

I was surprised that I got a direct whatsapp instead of a pm thru LYN itself, so I checked and found that the number this guy was using is different than the one used by the actual seller. Also, it seems he may have looked up my number online. After asking him for verification by replying to my LYN pm he went quiet. I had also pm the original poster TamashiiHeroes, but have not received any reply as yet.

Just wanted to share with everyone to be aware of this.

[WTA] Piezo electric pickups

pleasuresaurus — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 10:53:25 +0800

Hi guys,
would like to ask for advice from all sifus regarding piezo electric pickups. I'm currently considering adding this option of using piezo pickups in my electric guitar live rig. I'm currently considering Fishman or L.R. Baggs piezo pickups. Thing is, I'm not sure which would be the better solution:

1. Installing tune-o-matic style pickup on my LP; OR

2. Buying a guitar that comes with piezo pickups already

My concern with the first is setup - aside from changing the bridge, I'm not too sure what a tune-o-matic based pickup installation would do to my guitar. Have to drill new holes for the knobs/wires etc? Also, I'm based in Penang so am wondering if there's anyone here with the expertise to do the installation.

With the second - which guitars would be reasonable for this purpose? Have read good things about the Schecter C1EA semi-hollow and the Fender Nashville Deluxe Power Tele, and the pricing seems reasonable enough for me to want to experiment with either one.

What do you guys think, which would be the better option? Appreciate the help.

Biotech Research Groups/Academics

pleasuresaurus — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 00:32:06 +0800

Hi guys, I'm in need of some help.

I'm considering a Ph.D. in Biotechnology (applied areas such as Industrial, Biomedical, Enzymology) in a university in M'sia. Currently looking at universities based in the Central region (Klang Valley area) such as IMU,UPM, UKM, UM, etc. I'm currently based in the northern region but would like to relocate to Central, hence my interest in these unis. Otherwise I'd join USM in a heartbeat .

To make my decision, I'd be grateful for some input from current students or PhD grads about their research groups. Among the things I'm looking at to decide where to go/approach is:

- how are the principal investigators/academicians like? genial/helpful/territorial/petty/approachable/aloof etc.
- working environment
- research funding
- accessibility to equipment/resources/training
- presence/absence of internal politics
- productivity of research group

Looking forward to some input from you all. Cheers!

Pleasuresaurus workout journal

pleasuresaurus — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 02:56:32 +0800

Hello everyone, the pleasuresaurus here. This is my 1st attempt at a workout journal post. I’ve been doing weights for a year, but only now wanna start post hehehe .

I’m 172cm tall, when I began my program I was 115kg. After 6 months of working out I lost 20kg, and now weigh 95 kg. I’ve been stuck at this plateau ever since, which is one of the reasons why I wanna start documenting my workout. I need to assess my progress, and hopefully get some advice from fellow forumers on how to punch through. Plateaus are pretty depressing.

In the beginning I started out with swimming everyday. I have a weak back so I avoid high impact stuff like running, jogging etc. My left arm is noticeably weaker than my right, so I make it a point to choose workouts that rely on both arms independently such as dumbbells instead of barbells.

When I first started gyming, this was what my routine looked like:

I made a lot of progress in the first few months but after awhile I got stuck, this got me really depressed. I understand that plateauing is just a bodily adaptation to the workload it is given, and all I need to overcome it is to change, but I’ve been having trouble with that for quite a while.

It wasn’t until I had a body scan that I realized that my current workout regime was practically useless already. The scan assesses bodily fat and muscle percentage by individual parts, like arms, legs, torso etc. What POed me was that despite a year of working out, my muscle percentage was generally only within the “normal” range. I made no gains at all. This prompted me to study and change my workout regime. I decided that I needed to get back to basics, less is more. So after doing some research, I came up with this:

I’ve been on this new workout for 2 weeks now, the exhaustion and soreness reminds me of when I first started, so I guess it must be doing its job. Stiff legged deadlifts gives me debilitatingly sore hamstrings…I intend to post a log on the weights I’ve lifted soon. Comments and critiques very much welcome.
