Item(s) conditions:Protected in Case, Smart Cover and Screen Protector since day 1 so no major dings all around.

Problem with never removing the device from it case for all its life, dust particles managed to seep through between the case and back and, some rubbing/abrasion and discolouration on the back, making it look like the paint chipped off (You can refer to images attached). Because of this aesthetic flaw, selling it lower than average, thus the non-negotiable price. Put it into a case and it won't be noticed.

[WTS]Xiaomi Mi 3 New Basic Set(SOLD)

alvin_goh — Tue, 17 Jun 2014 18:11:29 +0800

Hand itchy ordered a Xiaomi Mi 3 this afternoon during the firesale. And have decide to let it go considering my Honor 3C still serving me admirably.

So at the risk of being labelled a scalper while making some money, I would like to sell my unit for RM819 (That's right.. a handsome profit RM50).

The interested party will have to part with a RM50 deposit to avoid untoward FFK instances. The unit will probably arrive next week.

Update: Unit has been reserved and deposit received.

[attachmentid=3899427]

Macbook Pro 2011, purchased around the 2nd quarter of 2011 from Machines, 13.3" 2.3GHz Core i5, 4GB DDR3, 320GB HDD, Well cared for, battery cycle count at 300+, no discernible dents or scratches.

[attachmentid=3899425]

BUT has one issue as show in the first pic, a green line that runs vertically down the right side of the screen. The line randomly appeared weeks after the warranty expired, and no amount of begging and pleas were entertained by the iron-fisted Apple technician. It's more of an annoyance than anything but I'd rather money not be spent just to fix what is otherwise a brilliantly-functioning screen.

SOLD

Anyone checked out Propertyplus yet?

alvin_goh — Fri, 31 May 2013 20:16:52 +0800

Couldn't help but notice a new banner in the forums. At first glance looks like a byproduct of what would happen if Groupon and a real estate website hooked up and went out on a date haha!

Would be extremely interested to see if they add more hot properties and pre-launch sales, but I think the idea is cool and exposes everyone to buying property in bulk - a privilege traditionally reserved for real estate agencies and investment clubs, IF it really manages to achieve 15% off market price. Though only four listings atm it looks promising as they seem to have hauled a few of the big developers aboard.

Will be keeping tabs on this website. What you guys think?

Searching for a Datsun 240z

alvin_goh — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 20:07:29 +0800

Planning to get a Datsun 240Z for a weekend project car for sometime now but to no avail...

Been leisurely following a few leads that pop up once in a while but turns out the car was a 260 or 280Z/ZX

Basically as long as its a 2 seater then it should be alright... don't want the 2+2

So if anyone had any info as to where i could locate one... would be more than grateful~

Cheers!

Targo (24/11/2009, 11:47PM): BRO MACAM MANE AH?

Me (24/11/2009, 11:48PM):1250 tak jadi ke?

Targo (24/11/2009, 11:50PM): LAST LA..1300

Me (24/11/2009, 11:57PM): Ok la, Bro kira confirm.. condisi chun lg ke? Leh tgk brg dulu? Kalo ngam terus angkat.. Lokasi mane?

Targo (25/11/2009, 12:09AM): haha.pandai ah..mari pandan indah la..mesti la cun..macam miss malaysia.

The next day:

Targo (25/11/2009, 02.37PM): boss. macam mane? X de balas msg pun..

Me (25/11/2009, 08:53PM): Hi sori bro... Esok leh jumpe waktu ptg... kalo kondisi mmg mcm miss msia i trus angkat wakaka!

Targo (25/11/2009, 09.13PM): Ya..ingat you dah x minat miss malaysia i..petang kat selayang ok ah?

Me (25/11/2009, 09:14PM): Orait... Lg best.. I pun kat area segambut esok... Agak pukul brp? Miss msia mesti mahuu wahahaha!

Targo (25/11/2009, 09.18PM): Lunch hour..oh best sekali... jumpa kat warta baru..situ ada bank rakyat.. belakang dia ada mamak. ok?

Me (25/11/2009, 09:33PM):Warta baru kat mane? Yg lame tau la.. Tepi jln kuching...

Targo (25/11/2009, 09:36PM): Same je bro..lama kat kanan, baru kat kiri.. tepi ada caltex..

Me (25/11/2009, 10:51PM): Ok la kalo x dpt cari i tanye org aje la haha

Targo (25/11/2009, 10.55PM): OK..senang..terus dari jln kuching..

So the Date n Time of transaction was to be 26/11/2009 @ 1PM Lunch hour.

The next day around noon, i get the following SMS:

Targo (26/11/2009, 12:33PM): Bro..sorry la.. x jadi la hari ini..abang nak angkat balik miss malaysia ni..huhu..minta maaf ya.

I was like WTF? So i replied:

Me (26/11/2009, 12:43PM): Hmm jadi bile hamba boleh jumpe ngan beliau

Targo (26/11/2009, 12:33PM): X dapat la..aii..you cari yg lain.

Me (26/11/2009, 12:57PM): Bro.. macam ni tak jadi jual ke tangguh ajer?

Not getting a response, i sent another msg. To no avail.

Me (26/11/2009, 12:43PM): Knape tertiba mcm ni.... Tak steady la. Duit sume dah ready. Last minute cancel plak?

Sorry for my attention to detail. But did not want to leave any detail out.

Turns out that his story of returning the laptop to his brother was a fake.

How did i find out? Coz it so happened, that the buyer(whose identity i chose not to disclose) of the laptop was supposed to buy my Lenovo T61 the same day! So in the end i was taken for a ride by both sides, simply because the other buyer offered RM50 higher than me @ RM1350.

Its a small world after all eh?

Anyway, thanks for:
1. Deliberately Lying
2. Deliberately lying on the Eve of Hari Raya Haji.
3. Being a cheapskate and sinning for the sake of an extra RM50.
4. Not covering your tracks properly and coming up with a cheap excuse.
5. Taking me for a damn ride. I really, really wanted that Z61T.

I hereby request that a Dispute tag be awarded to the forumer above.

Regards
Alvin

Opera 9.51 Build 10071 Beta

alvin_goh — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 23:38:54 +0800

Discover the new standard in Web browsing! Opera lets you surf the Internet in a safer, faster, and easier way. One of the most full-featured Internet power tools on the market, it includes pop-up blocking, tabbed browsing, integrated searches, and advanced functions like Opera's groundbreaking E-mail program, RSS Newsfeeds and IRC chat. You can customize the look and content of your browser with a few clicks of the mouse.

Opera started out as a research project in Norway's largest telecom company, Telenor, in 1994, and branched out into an independent development company named Opera Software ASA in 1995. Opera Software develops the Opera Web browser, a high-quality, multi-platform product for a wide range of platforms, operating systems and embedded Internet products.

Opera is known as the fastest and smallest full-featured browser, a first choice for people using older PCs and Windows 95 and a brilliant alternative to the default IE from Microsoft. Opera, first of all, is client World Wide Web, that is the program for extraction of the information from WWW as the documents created with help HyperText Markup Language (language of a marking of hypertext HTML).
Low requirements to resources of system. Opera will work even on 386 computer about 6 MB of operative memory. MDI the interface. You can open without special expenses of memory any quantity of windows inside one working window, having chosen thus a tabulared or cascade mode.

Explore our newest features
• Quick Find. Have you ever forgotten the page where you found that great article or that perfect gift? When using Opera the browser remembers not only the titles and addresses, but the actual content of the Web pages you visit.
• Opera Link. Access your favorite Web sites everywhere! Opera Link syncs your bookmarks and Speed Dial between your computers and mobile phone.
• New browser engine. We've made the fastest browser in the world even faster with superior support for Web standards. Opera 9.5 is quicker to start, faster at loading Web pages and better at running your favorite Web applications.
* More than 2x faster than Opera 9.2 in rendering JavaScript and HTML
* Faster handling of third party plug-ins
* Much faster start up time
* Superior support for Web standards

Simplify your life online
• Speed Dial. Typing addresses for sites you visit frequently is ineffective. Get your favorite Web page with just one click. Speed Dial is a set of visual bookmarks you see when you open a new tab, like a dashboard for your online life. To add a new page, simply click on an empty Speed Dial and Opera will make suggestions based on browsing history and bookmarks.
• Mouse Gestures. With Opera you can navigate the Web with your mouse. A mouse gesture is performed while clicking and holding the right mouse button and moving the mouse in an easy pattern. Perform movements with the mouse to access well-known features like «Back», «Forward» and «Open new tab». Like Opera's keyboard shortcuts, mouse gestures are fully customizable, so you can tailor them any way you want.
• Download Manager with BitTorrent. Download files quicker with Opera. Opera starts downloading as soon as you've saved the file, so there’s no wasted time. Pause and resume downloads with the push of a button, and choose multiple files to download simultaneously without any fuss. Opera also features built-in support for the social file distribution protocol, BitTorrent, which makes it easy to download Torrent files without the need for a separate application.

Master your information
• Tabs and Sessions. Opera is very light on your computer, so it’s possible to have many tabs open at once. Drag and drop tabs around to change their order, or get a preview pausing over them with your mouse. You can even save a session of tabs for later, making it easy to pick up where you left off.
• Content blocking. Block images, pop-ups, and plug-ins you don't want . Right-click and choose “Block content” to selectively disable annoying elements. To make Web pages load faster, or to avoid offensive content, temporarily turn off images by pressing the image button. In Opera, smart pop-up blocking is turned on by default.
• Zoom and Fit to width. Is it difficult to read the content on a page? Use Opera’s Zoom button in the lower right corner to resize Web pages. If the page is too wide for your screen, simply hit “Fit to Width” and Opera will resize the Web page so you avoid horizontal scrolling.
• Built-in e-mail and newsfeeds. Opera's built-in e-mail client features improved responsiveness. It also retrieves and searches your mail and news feeds even faster than before. In Opera, newsfeeds are stored on your computer so you can read them later, even when you're offline. Easily tag articles so you know which ones you want to read, which ones are important, which ones are funny, etc.

Personalize your browsing experience
• Customize your browser. Opera is easily customizable. Choose among hundreds of skins and setups, add or remove buttons, toolbars, or change the entire layout of the browser. It’s easy to do… or undo.
• Add a Widget to your life. Widgets are small Web applications (multimedia, newsfeeds, games and more) that make your desktop experience more fun and useful. Use the Widgets menu to discover new widgets and access your favorites. Visit widgets.opera.com to learn more.
• Quick and customizable Web search. Get quick access to Google, eBay, Amazon and more with the search field in the upper right corner. Or even quicker, search directly in the address bar using built-in and customizable keywords. For example, type "g Opera" in the address bar to search for “Opera” with Google. You can also create your own Web search from any search field on the Internet, simply by right clicking on a search field and choosing “Create Search”.

Make the Web a better place
• Stay safe with new Fraud Protection and EV. Not all Web pages are what they say they are. In Opera 9.5, Fraud Protection is enabled by default, automatically detecting and warning you about fraudulent Web sites. Fraud Protection is powered with phishing information from Netcraft and PhishTank, and Malware protection from Haute Secure. Malware is malicious software hidden throughout the Web. In addition Opera 9.5 support Extended Validation certificates (EV). This provides added assurance and trust for secure Web sites. Read more about Opera Security on: www.opera.com/security/
• Web developers: Meet Opera Dragonfly. Opera 9.5 includes a preview version of Opera Dragonfly, our upcoming developer tools. Opera Dragonfly makes web development using Opera easier than ever, both on your computer and mobile phone.

Changes in Opera 9.51 Build 10071 Beta:
# Fixed crash on Yahoo! Mail.
# Fixed a crash when clicking the feeds button.
# Fixed a crash when installing Shockwave Player 11.
# Fixed some issues with the search engines when upgrading from 9.2x: it is now possible again to edit the Google search.
