Before buying/importing a light gun...

eleongo — Sun, 25 Jan 2026 23:21:36 +0800

As title mentions, the one Im considering is this for home use arcade emulation
The big question is what are the odds of successfully passing courier clearance? I heard that any individual is not allowed to import any realistic gun shaped and colored unless you issue a permit.
Is this true?

The company is from Canada but its manufacturer is based in China.

Local travel with vr headset through airport

As title mentioned, is vr headset allowed to be carried in plane?

Local travel with vr headset through klia

eleongo — Thu, 24 Apr 2025 22:14:57 +0800

As title mentioned, I'm curious whether air travel with vr headset is allowed.
If it's allowed, does its built-in battery considered as powerbank (I doubt it is but wanted to ask just in case)?

Kena MBPJ summon for parking, how to pay online?

eleongo — Thu, 15 Nov 2018 21:33:24 +0800

1) I want to confirm me as a driver but not an owner of the car whether I can do so at Maybank2u website or not?
2) I think I have to choose "DBKL Kompaun Online" as payee, right?
3) As related to (1), do I need to have NRIC of a person that is tied to the car? I'm curious about it because it said so if I were to do it via ATM. --> https://www.maybank2u.com.my/WebBank/PDRMSu...FAQs_131113.pdf
4) After transaction, how long does the system usually take to update the status?

EDIT: Another thing I wan to ask is official website stated RM30 where the original price is RM100, but from what I heard is I can only get the discount when pay at office, is that true?

[DONE]High GPU temp even after changing video card

eleongo — Sun, 16 Apr 2017 16:16:35 +0800

As title mentions, I used to have GTX560 and recently got frequent stop responding (screen blacked out but PC still run as usual, I can confirm it when Youtube video still plays fine when black out) so I reinstalled (latest) driver and checked temperature and realised my GPU temp is very high which is around 100°C even idle. So I thought the 560 starts to malfunction as I noticed the GPU fans do not rock back and forth as there is no "magnetic" feel.

And then, I changed back to my old video card (but fully functional) GT630 and as usual reinstall driver (and restart) and check temp. Although no more black out but my GPU temp still 100°C as attached below. So right now I'm not sure where is the problem now. And yes, I've already cleaned the whole casing.

EDIT: Turns out bitcoin was disguised as MSASCui.exe located in AppData/Roaming and caused the problem.

Planning to buy CS:GO

eleongo — Tue, 26 Aug 2014 16:15:28 +0800

I wanna know whether how many pings do you all usually experience while playing outside-Asia servers (Europe, US, etc). And do many local/Asian players still playing?

Planning buy a physical copy of it (not online buying from Steam a.k.a. digital copy), but I wanna know its approximate price. Went to check in Mid Valley buy currently out of stock.

Regarding mechatronics in UCSI

eleongo — Sun, 29 Dec 2013 00:23:46 +0800

I know I have posted similar posts regarding mechatronics and my future. Right now I'm considering on choosing university that offers respective course.
I have completed Diploma E&E in APU-APIIT last October, and my current choices are whether to continue at APU or transfer to UCSI. My main concern is currently mechatronics in APU does not have accreditation and there's still no news from MQA staffs, and I've heard about the difficulties regarding promotions without accreditation. I think I should not have problem on transferring, as I have calculated that my CGPA is over 3.2 (based on my results from grading system, excluding MQA obviously).

Now here's my question: How's the overall performance inside UCSI, in terms of atmosphere, facilities, and teaching methods?

Need advice on my future study

eleongo — Thu, 07 Nov 2013 22:50:11 +0800

I just completed Diploma E&E in APU/APIIT last October, and right now I'm so clueless on what to do next (Actually I'm waiting for accreditation for engineering course).
I heard from one of my relatives, that no matter in which university do I study all certificates are the same UNLESS I study in Stafford, Oxford or some top universities (leaving first & second classes aside).
Previously I choose APU is solely because of transport issue which is only about 15 minutes driving distance; and engineering is solely because I find it to be the LEAST boring among all courses. (I said so, because I am never be able to "like" studying in courses) (in other words, I'm not interested in business and management at all, and I'm not really fond of programming...I might be able to change my mind on liking programming later)

Now my question is, does certificate from any local universities matter to you all? (MMU, Uniten, etc.)
If it doesn't really matter, then I shouldn't think so much and just stay in APU to choose which degree do I prefer the most.
In additional if that's the case, why people still bother and prefer going to MMU instead? Is it because of accreditation, and how significant does accreditation affect the future?
Also, I want to know which course is currently or lately will encounter recession or loss in job opportunity.

What do people/passer-by think of me?

eleongo — Thu, 22 Aug 2013 14:15:40 +0800

I'm gonna be frankly speaking right now...
I'm a boy and I wanted to buy girl panties to wear them because i find them comfortable (basically i'm an innerwear-cross dresser), however I'm afraid to go out and buy for myself because of other people's (customers and cashiers) perceptions and thoughts.

I know it's not against rule/law or whatsoever for boys to buy girl stuffs, it's just that i'm embarrassed to buy it.

Is it appropriate for me to buy them, and how am I able to buy them without getting embarrassed?
I just want to hear your opinions...I'm serious about it so no trolling please.

EDIT: Another question, has any boy experiences this kind of thought, where you want to buy and wear it?

Need help regarding EAC and IEM approval

eleongo — Wed, 14 Aug 2013 20:53:08 +0800

Currently I'm taking Diploma E&E in APIIT/APU and planning to take Degree Mechatronics on 23th October intake. My final exam falls on mid October. However, I recently discovered that Degree Mechatronics is not approved by EAC as mentioned in this link: http://www.eac.org.my/web/document/list%20...12.2012)%20.pdf

I have only heard that if the EAC and IEM do not approve my degree cert, I will be categorised as "technician" which is lower class, rather than "engineer". So, I would like to know what kind of consequence do I face if I take unapproved course.

Another question: Some of my lecturers recommended me to transfer to MMU if I want to take a better quality of engineering course in terms of approvals from IEM and EAC, however there is no new intake for this year, and the next intake is next year March if I remember correctly. It doesn't have Mechatronics, but I can find something similar. So, I would like to hear an opinion from you all: Shall I wait for 5 months or straight away start my degree?

M3A78-EM and Geforce GSO 9600

eleongo — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 22:00:53 +0800

Before formatting and reinstalling OS, I have issues on updating current time and GPU driver stopped responding
I am able to solve the first issue by replacing a new CMOS battery, but unable to solve the second issue even after reformatting and reinstalling OS (before that i think i have a few windows files missing)
With GPU planted on motherboard, I always unable to display any screen right after "start windows"; while onboard graphic has no problem at all (I also ensured the selection of "primary video controller" in BIOS setup is correct in both conditions)....
Occasionally, I have received Error 43 from "Device Manager" with GPU on motherboard....but it doesn't matter now since I cannot display the screen (Fortunately I have created a system restore before planting GPU)

So i have concluded 2 possibilities:

1) Hardware GPU is broken
2) GPU slot on motherboard is broken

Is there any other possibility? Because tmr I'll be sending my PC to repair

EDIT: sorry if i post at wrong section, because i'm so hesitate to ask for help

tapping L-click mouse also gives "C" KyBd button

eleongo — Tue, 29 May 2012 23:10:44 +0800

basically what happened is whenever i play any game, the "C" keyboard button always activates whenever i tap my left-click mouse button

example:
1) playing borderlands - during shooting (tapping) i always crouch and stand which is "C" hotkey

2) playing risen - whenever i tap L-click mouse button, the character menu keeps open and close which is also "C" hotkey

this is most likely not a game issue but a mouse & keyboard issue since it happens not only on a specific game
any solution will be appreciated =)

is there any DJ Max fan here?

eleongo — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 22:17:19 +0800

as title mentions above~
i wanna see how many DJ Max do we have here, and maybe try to gather together and have a discussion with any arcade manager in KL or selangor (particularly in midvalley and sunway pyramid as i live near there, sorry about my selfish request =P) to bring in technika machine IF it's possible

i know the machine isn't cheap at all, and it may be even more expensive that time crisis 4 and alien vs predator, but for the sake of DJ Max fans, i wish we can corporate each other and make our dreams come true

if anyone is a fan of that game, please say "I'M A FAN HERE!!!" so that i can record how many fans in malaysia (i'll edit it onto my top post)

EDIT: 2 fans counted (including me)
