Ipad 2 to ios9?

tinsze — Tue, 05 Jan 2016 14:23:49 +0800

Hey all,

Would like to get fellow Ipad2 users opinions on this matter. I am still at ios7, but noticed that more apps are removing support for ios7 and there are some new productivity apps that I would like to get my hands on (Liquid text particularly). I only use my Ipad for productivity purpose: typing, reading ibooks, reading ALOT of pdf articles and drawing.

I get conflicting reviews by net searching on whether or not to update, and it seems like majority of users are against updating from ios7 to ios9 but without really stating what would be the real damage. Any opinions?

Thanks a lot

Perhentian kecil-accomodation suggestion

tinsze — Thu, 02 Jul 2015 15:55:20 +0800

Hi all,

Any recommendation for budget but good accomodation in Perhentian kecil, Long Beach? I am looking for maybe less than RM 200 per night for two person but I don't really know what to expect there.

I am looking for somewhere with a little party scene as I am travelling with an Italian friend that really like that sort of thing. I checked trip advisors but from the reviews it seems like most accomodations has problem with electricity supply and bugs. I noted two that seems particularly loved: Ewans place and Mari Mari.

I also read that Bubu resort is really good but the price seems to be too out of range, but any ideas are welcomed.

Any comments or suggestions? Thanks a million!!

Paypal and CIMB

tinsze — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 13:52:29 +0800

Hi i am new to this whole paypal thing. From what I checked online it seems all the information are outdated as all those info said Paypal allow topup from alot of local banks, but from what I last checked paypal had stopped allowing funds topup from other local banks , only RHB banks are allowed now, right?

I am currently using the service of two banks which is bank islam and CIMB, and i have just converted my CIMB ATM card into a debit card.Also from what I have read, CIMB debit card can only be used to activate the paypal account but are unable to add funds into Paypal. right? I asked the staff at CIMB bank but they don't even know what paypal is hence is unable to provide me any information.

Can anyone please help to clear my confusion regarding the following matter?
1. can i use CIMB debit card to activate my paypal account?
2. can i use my CIMB debit card to add funds into my paypal account?
3. If i dont want to get a credit card, is creating a RHB bank account the only choice i have if i want to use paypal? If yes, any idea how much i would need to pay to create the account? i know the annual fees for RHB acocunt is RM 12. right?

thanks alot.

This method is amazing when it comes to memorising stuff. But then i realise, its only good when its used for short term purpose. How do i extend it to long term meomory? Anyone has any idea?

i'm really interested to know.. whether the physical appearance is really important in girls and guys eyes...? i mean when they couple up..? or the attraction towards the opposite sex...? no matter how good the personality of the individual is.. the appearance still matters ?
