Taman Zenia (Kajang)

Dry Pillow — Sun, 30 Mar 2014 10:26:40 +0800

Hi everyone,

Anyone here bought a house in Taman Zenia, Kajang?

Would like to ask is it true that MKH plans to build a crossover from these Nadayu/Tropicana/Taman Harmoni/Taman Zenia area to be connected to Seksyen 5 Bandar Baru Bangi? If its true then that solves a lot with their current entrance (tunnel under KTM line) which is a downer.

Another thing does anyone know if the developer plans to create another entrance to Taman Zenia? Currently the only entrance is via Taman Harmoni. Very inconvenient.

Other than that, look forward to open conversation about the Taman Zenia.

Thanks all.

iTunes store charge RM3.46

Dry Pillow — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 07:36:17 +0800

Hello all,

I made two purchases in iTunes so far. Each time right few seconds after purchase, iTunes charged RM3.46 to my debit card, regardless the price of the apps. Only several days later it will charge again the true price of apps purchased.

My concern is that why am I being charged RM3.46 first every time made purchase? It looks like it has some kind of entry fee or service charge before proceed to process my payment.

Anyone has any useful helpful info regarding this?

Thanks a lot

Cheers,
Dry Pillow

ACA [ICAEW]

Dry Pillow — Sun, 21 Oct 2012 23:38:35 +0800

Hello everyone,

I open up this thread as platform for ACA students, grads, and anyone who aspire to enroll into the programme to discuss everything about it e.g. exams, fees, approved training providers, job prospect, etc.

As we know ACA [ICAEW] is one of several accounting qualifications recognised in Malaysia. The others being the ACCA, CPA Australia, MICPA/ICAA, and maybe some others which I might do not know. ACA stands for Associate Chartered Accountant and administered by ICAEW (Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales). More info available from their own website and wikipedia.

If you are doing ACA currently, please do share with us how is your progress like which paper you are currently taking. Let us know how hard (or how easy - though this would be highly unlikely ) the papers you took.

Hopefully this is not a redundant thread - there are several other threads already discussing ACA but they are not dedicated to the subject and more into comparing ACA with other qualification, or why so few are taking it. So this thread is solely about ACA on its own. But of course we can discuss nevertheless of comparison of ACA with other alternatives.

I myself just started few weeks ago and have sat for and passed the first paper - AS [Assurance]. More tougher papers to face with in future definitely. I can share some tips if you ask.

Looking forward to know other fellow ACA students and grads.

Hope this thread would be beneficial for everyone

Chartered Accountant Salary at Petronas

Dry Pillow — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 16:23:20 +0800

Long story short, I've been offered sponsorship by Petronas to do chartered accountancy in any of the Big 4 before joining Petronas after 3-4 years. Does anyone how much one can earn as chartered accountant at Petronas? I'm calculating the cost and benefit whether to take up this offer as everyone know doing audit job with low pay and taking chartered accountancy at the same time is quite tough for some of us.

Is there anything wrong with my specs?

Dry Pillow — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 15:51:16 +0800

Yesterday when I turned on my PC, it didn't on.

The shop technician which I sent my PC to said that my spec in underpowered. PSU not powerful enough.

I know some PSU deliver only 80% of power stated, but even that I still have 560 watt to power up my PC. And I don't even crossfire my graphic card.

My spec is like this

Processor: Intel i5 760
RAM: Kingston DDR3 2GBX2
Motherboard: Gigabyte P55A UD3L
Graphic Card: Gigabyte HD6870
Power Supply Unit: Gigabyte 700W Odin Plus
Hard-disk: Western Digital 1TB
Casing: Cooler Master USP 100
Optical Drive: Lite On 24X

Is there anything wrong with my spec? Is the wrong mobo or the wrong PSU? Or the whole spec is wrong?

I would love to hear anyone's advice here.

EPF Deduction for Freelancer

Dry Pillow — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 10:56:07 +0800

Hello everyone

What I mean by freelance is that the firm is only pay the person in full cash and doesn't make employers contribution. There is no contractual agreement how long the person must working together with the firm. The payment to the person is on monthly basis, as long as the person still providing service to the firm.

Does freelance agent/contractor have to make EPF payment? Is it compulsory and how much?
