Skin Irritation at Private Part

padi — Sat, 01 Oct 2016 16:42:53 +0800

Hi, just need some opinions from you guys..

l've some skin irritation at my penile shaft just right under the corona part. It looks like blisters at first and the part looks reddish without any pain or itchiness.. And no, it not STD because i've done the blood test.. I've been to the doctor (Normal GP) for consultation and been prescribed with antibiotics.

However, i do not see that the problem lessen but became more and more bigger. Should i go to consult a dermatologist? Could anyone suggest one to me as most of them which i googled only focus on acne/skin aesthetic. Thanks!

[WTA]- Is My SSD Faulty?

padi — Thu, 19 Nov 2015 14:52:41 +0800

Just to ask for opinion from you guys. I owned an Asus S56CM ultrabook for about 2 years when lately my laptop starts to behave weirdly. It can't shut down properly. The screen went black/blank as it was shutting down but the LED lights/cooling fan still running and will run till the battery exhausted or i push the power button for 3 seconds (force shutdown). Moreover, all the USB port cannot be used unless i insert the USB drive/external HD right before i switch on the laptop.

I received error message from windows "Windows detected a hard disk problem. The following hard disks are reporting failure: SanDisk SSD i1200 24GB" which when i tried to access in the device manager will just made the explorer/windows not responding. From what i read, the SSD is not for storage but rather some speed-up technology/express cache or something like that for faster boot and shutdown.

Is the SSD failure is the root of all my problems? Is there any chance for it to be fixed as i am aware the SSD was not manufactured anymore. Thank in advance.

P1 Wimax - Need Help Here

padi — Fri, 20 Sep 2013 00:02:58 +0800

Hey guys,

Long ago during my student years back in 2007@2008, me with my housemates subscribed for P1 Wimax using my name.. Contract for two years. Service quite ok, and because we lived in a newly developed area during the time, we had to suffer to its bad quality service/slow connection.

1 year later, i moved out from the house but the account was still be used by my housemate (also my classmate, so no problem because i see them everyday and they pay the bill every month) also cannot terminate because still have contract. They changed my phone number for the account with one of their phone number, only left using my name for the account but im still the one who received the bill via email. Only Until after i graduated in 2010, one by one of my friends also graduated, they decided to terminate the account. Here, the two years contract period already lapsed.

One of them went to P1 HQ at templer/PJ, paid the outstanding bill they had and ask to terminate the account. According to him, the counter rep there already taken the request for the termination and said it will be processed in 2-3 days. However, i still received the bill next month. I remember personally called P1 and asked then what it is all about. I've terminated the account but still received the bill. The person said hat the the bill is computer generated and i will keep receiving it in time though i already terminated the account. He also said do not worry. So i just ignored the bill. In time, i abandoned the email, switch to another. Didn't know whats happening.

and today, i received a call from my banker which im applying for house loan that i have been blacklisted by CTOS for almost RM2700 not being paid to P1. frustrated, i called them and the first thing the asked to key in my account number. I keyed in the previous account number and surprised, i can get through. The account is terminated anyway when i checked for it status.

Does anyone had similar experience? To whom should i make complaints? I need to clear up the CTOS for my house loan. Demmit P1!!

[WTA]Is Asus laptops Bad?

padi — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 16:51:21 +0800

Hi to all sifus out there,

I'm a proud owner of Dell XPS M1530 since 2007. Bought it for RM4+++ and been using it since until last month, the GC starts to fail. At first, BSOD popped out stating my display adaptor got problem, then after a few weeks the screen will flicker after a 2-3 hours use and then blacked out.. happen a few times, but manage to restart after the laptop cooled down. But last week, it blacked out and for good..

As i really in need a computer for my job, i started searching for a decent new laptop. Im using laptop for some 3D program, autocad, tiny bit of gaming, lots of torrenting.. i caught upon Asus S56CM-XX140H.. come by with I5-3317 4GB 500+24GB SSD Cache, NVIDIA GeForce GT635M with 2GB DDR3 .

Went to LY Plaza yesterday and a guy offered me additional 6GB (total 8GB) ram for the same Rm2499 price. But after reading through the forum, ASUS kinda sucks from everyone opinions. Bad warranty services + bad quality and it gives me shivers.

Do Asus laptops are really bad? im seriously planning on buying the S56CM, but the comments made me think twice. I want to buy dell, i really love the XPS series but the XPS z series are somehow looks ridiculous to me and the XPS 14 doesn't have 2g gc. haha..

im willing to spent a bit more for dell XPS 14 (3rd generation Intel® Core™ i7-3517U processor (4M cache, up to 3.0 GHz , TPM, 8GB DDR3 1600MHz (8GBx1, 500GB 5400RPM Hard Drive with 128GB mSATA, NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 630M with 1GB GDDR5 VRAM) but is it worth the buy?

Please help sifu, your kind opinion in this matter is highly appreciated.hehe
