Hand carry liquor , duty free shop

linkinawe — Wed, 06 Mar 2019 08:12:47 +0800

Hi all, this is my first time buying liquor, either a 700ml or 1000ml bottle, helping a friend actually. I will be travelling to Taiwan soon.
My friend asked me to buy liquor at Taiwan airport duty free shop, during my way back to Malaysia.
But I am not sure whether it is allowed to hand carry it after I bought it at Taiwan duty free shop at airport.
I've thought of checking it in, safer bet.... but on my way back to Malaysia, I would have checked in my luggage, before I can visit
duty free shop, which mean I only can hand-carry it after bought it.

Any people got experience buying duty free liquor from oversea before ?

Longines watch

linkinawe — Fri, 01 Mar 2019 14:06:08 +0800

I want to buy Longines Hydroconquest 2018. Last Sunday I went to One Utama watatime. Price is Rm6120 so I asked how much discount can be given.
The male sale promoter said :"If you REALLY want to buy, then only I discuss with you"
So lansi and arrogant ! I was wearing Seiko SBDC003 that time, probably look me down .
I didn't even want reply and went out of the shop straight away.

Who bought Longines before ? Is it better I buy from Longines Boutique in Pavillion? Or go to other retailers ? Boutique or retailers, which one can give discount ?

One plus 3 or Honor8?

linkinawe — Tue, 06 Sep 2016 22:46:48 +0800

I need to replace my nexus 5 because the battery starting to get kong. I have budget around Rm1.8k .
Initially I was thinking mate 8 , but after i tried it , it feel too big for me. I prefer 5.0~ 5.5 inch phone.

Then I found out One plus 3 and Honor8 meet my requirements.

Here is what I think about them. One plus 3 hardware is good but the stock OS has many problem , but flashing custom ROM eg: CM13 will solve the problem. I know how to flash rom but I dont intend to do it very often, need to be as much hassle free as possible. If I find the rom is stable then maybe i wont flash a new one.

Huawei EMUI , hmm, considered so~so for me. But if I am using huawei then i wont need to flash a 3rd party rom since I can bear with EMUI, so even hassle free for me.

My requirement for phone just play some light games(eg:pokemon go), need to have longer battery life and stable rom. I think I wont be changing a new phone within 4 years since I dont gaming too much, so currents spec will last me a while unless hardware failure. I dont know anything about one plus , but my impression on huawei is they have a better built quality on hardware.

Any opinions ?

mobo failure, change mobo or change new system?

linkinawe — Sat, 03 Sep 2016 13:22:41 +0800

Here is my rig specification

Core i5 2500k Sandy Bridge
noctua nh-d14 heatsink
ASRock Z68 Extreme4
MUSHKIN 4GB DDR3 ---> just upgraded to 4GBx8 DDR3 Kingston hyper X fury 2 months ago.
Seasonic Silence PRo 750W

3.5" HDD x3

My rigs currently 5 years old. In the first year, ASrock z68 gave me problem occasionally, which I returned for RMA. Then this year my computer reboot randomly but not a big deal , occur like once or two in a month.

2 days ago, it get very sick.
- I turn on the power then it turn on itself and get into infinite loop
- Sometime it pass through beep, sometimes it can boot until windows but reboot or shutdown itself again.

I have already done following:
1. Reset CMOS to default
2. Changed a new CMOS battery
3. Re-seating ram , tested with a working ram , tested with single slot ram
4. Disconnect unnecessary hardware, only one RAM , one HDD , one keyboard , mouse and monitor
5. processor reseating
6. Tested with a working PSU

Problem still there, so i guess I can kiss my mobo goodbye.

Question 1:
My problem is, is it worth for me to get a old gen mobo since I still have working processor, ram and heatsink ?
[If u suggest old mobo, please recommend me one, thanks]

If getting new rig, then I only aim for processor , mobo , and maybe DDR4 ram(if new gen mobo cant support DDR3). I dont have high requirement on pc, as long i can do documents and some multimedia. So i5 would be sufficient and no need GPU at all.
[If u suggest new mobo, please recommend me necessary needed hardware as mentioned, thanks]

Question 2:
Can new mobo noctua nh-d14 ?

Question 3:
Planning to get Samsung evo 850 120GB? Is it good ?Last time i heard it is a good quality SSD at affordable price .

Thanks for all sifus advice.

[WTA] Android Phone within 1.5k

linkinawe — Thu, 04 Aug 2016 10:38:16 +0800

Its time to replace my 4 years old phone because it has only 3G band.

My main usage is just calling customer , check stocks, some social networking apps such as Whatapps, FB. Not playing games.

My requirement:
1. Must be support Celcom 4G LTE band
2. Longer battery life than average
3. Hassle free UI - Prefer simpler UI than UI which claim to offer too much "convenient apps" that cause UI to laggy.

Any suggestion ? thanks

Protein Powder recommendation

linkinawe — Sun, 10 Jan 2016 00:55:29 +0800

I just started to do workout at home about 1 year ago when I found out I was bit fat, 85KG.
Now my weight is 62KG, height 173CM.

I do workout like HIIT , some weight training like pull up, dumbbell etc at home, for an hour, 5 days a week.
During free time I will do badminton, running and swimming quite often.

FYI, I have good diet as in, I only eat what my body needs, mainly vegetables, fruit, protein and necessary carbs, I dont skip food or reduce food intake.
Oily food, junks food and soft drinks I seldom eat at all. Yes, I watch my calories intake.

My problem is, I keep getting thinner, that is what my friends and family keep telling me.

Because I work until 6pm, dinner at 7~8pm, rest for 3 hours, then only I do workout at 11pm until 12am.
After that I cant really cook and eat because I'm too tired , bath and sleep directly.

Is protein powder something that I should consider ? My ideal body shape is swimmer body, lean muscle.
If yes, which protein powder I should consider to maintain my fitness and prevent my muscles "shrinking"?
Obviously it is lack of protein now, I think.
I hope I can get 3 4KG of lean muscles, which is 65~66KG body weight.
I am not looking for super bulk up by the way.

Any suggestions ? thanks a lots.

Maxis postpaid

linkinawe — Thu, 05 Sep 2013 01:30:34 +0800

I am going to dump my hotlink prepaid and register Maxis postpaid. I dont like the current hotlink number at all. Currently thinking about SurfMore50 , if I register postpaid, if there any chance that I am able to choose the number ? They will give me some choices for me to choose or they will simply give me a number ?

Garmin vs smartphone app(Waze, google map)

linkinawe — Sun, 04 Aug 2013 18:28:20 +0800

As title, which one is better ? FYI I've been studied in oversea for 5 yrs, after I am back to Malaysia , I just started to drive recently, that why I need to get a GPS. I need a GPS that has good accuracy in navigation, mainly in Selangor and wilayah persekutuan(KL). So which one is better ?

I used Waze and Google map before , but in term of accuracy , they are just fine .. In term of accuracy, should I get a dedicated GPS like Garmin ??

[WTA] Razer Deathadder alternative

linkinawe — Sun, 17 Mar 2013 01:07:26 +0800

I have a Razer Deathadder 3500 which I bought 2 years ago, it started to have double click issue. I cleaned the dust inside, but the problem still remains. I dont do much gaming, I bought this mouse in the first place because simply I like the comfortable GRIP feel it gave me. I use pc long hours so I really need a comfortable grip mouse. Budget is Rm200 , I can get a Razer Deathadder replacement again, but due to its built quality, famous double click issue,I stepped away. So any other alternative mouse that offers similar size and grip as Deathadder ? Thanks

RMA or just throw away Samsung hdd ?

linkinawe — Sat, 02 Feb 2013 13:57:12 +0800

very disappointing with Samsung/Seagate HDD. I have a Samsung 500GB working as primary drive which bought at 2011, within these 2 years, I have RMA it 3 times, each time wont last 5 months, each RMA takes 1 month. DAFUQ. Dont get me wrong, I have a Samsung HDD working in my living as BT purpose, no problem in 3 years. I've 2 more WD HDD working as secondary drive, also no problem even 3 4 years. Just not satisfy with the RMA service under Seagate, because Seagate owns Samsung hdd now. I have contact lingloong for rma, he said Seagate will change Seagate hdd instead of Samsung hdd for this one. It is almost 2 years now, so I think it will be the last time I can RMA ? warranty is 2 yrs right ? Should I RMA it again ? Very frustrated within these 2 years.

<WTA> AC/AC power adapter

linkinawe — Wed, 09 Jan 2013 01:07:00 +0800

I need a power adapter for my amp.

Input: 230VAC or 120~230VAC
output: max 15VAC or adjustable VAC

I have tried a few places, but all of them are selling AC to DC, but cannot find AC to AC

Any idea where I can get these ?

Please recommend a laptop to me

linkinawe — Thu, 09 Aug 2012 23:25:32 +0800

Budget is around 2k~2.3k.
Requirement
Processor: high , since I will be running rendering software which need higher processing speed
(The latest one is IVY bridge? Prefer ivy bridge if it is faster than sandy bridge)
GPU: Low ,i am not a gamer guy, prefer to have noob GPU with better CPU (or without gpu, using processor own GPU also ok)
RAM:at least 4GB, not willing to spend for 8GB, unless come for free upgrade
HDD storage:No comments, since i have external hdd
Sata: prefer to have at least one or two Sata 3, since my external hdd is sata 3
screen size: 14" only
and DOS , without windows if possible

prefer Asus because it comes with 2 years warranty by default, no need top up money for extending warranty. But not sure about Lenovo and Dell though. I know Dell has 1 year only, but last time I had real bad experience with Dell,quality problem, so Dell is my least priority brand in the list.

Thanks
