My personal suggestion in getting iPhone

happyday119 — Tue, 05 Jan 2021 10:18:47 +0800

1) Buy brand new local Malaysia set in Apple Authorized Resellers.

Locations: https://locate.apple.com/my/en/

Don't go for LL set (USA / Import / whatever the seller claims).

The so called LL / import set / etc - mainboard is original but mostly all other things (screen, button, speaker are OEM).

The quality of original iPhone and iPhone with OEM parts is huge different.

That's why you see many Face ID failed in Mudah/Carousell because the screen has been replaced in non Apple Authorized Service Centre

Even the iPhone battery life can be modified:

2) Don't buy telco set(under contract). Some sellers will claimed their phone already fully paid when signed with contract.
However, contract is 2 years, if the seller doesn't pay his monthly phone bill, the iPhone will still be locked(even the phone is fully paid)

3) How about iPhone MY set with warranty?

If the iPhone(under warranty) screen is cracked, owner decided to repair outside instead of Apple Authorized Service Centre, then the warranty is void(even it's under warranty). And now, the seller sells the iPhone to you claiming the iPhone is still under warranty
.
.
Now look at this calculations:

Example:

New iPhone 11 MY set, 128GB - RM3099

So called LL set - RM2600 (depends on seller price)

With extra RM499 - you get peace of mind (1 year Apple Malaysia warranty, 100% battery life)
.
.
If you buy brand new iPhone, you can buy RED colour as:

"Apple dedicates 100% of Product Red eligible proceeds to COVID-19 relief"

That way you can get new iPhone and help in COVID-19. Double the GOODing.

Also if you buy, buy in Senheng/SenQ

They provide extra 1 year warranty(extra 2 years warranty if you are Citibank card holder)

Means your new iPhone comes 2 years/3 years warranty(for Citibank card holder)

Just my 2 cents.

Laptop for tuition class teacher

happyday119 — Wed, 30 Dec 2020 09:09:57 +0800

Looking for laptop for tuition class teacher

Budget: RM2000-RM2500

Current list I have:

1) Used MacBook Pro (2014/2015)

2) Used Surface Pro (mainly because of the pen function)

Do you think Surface Pro will last? I know MacBook Pro is very durable(as I am using one)

Used Surface Pro got reliability issue or not?

Some people might suggest go get new laptop (Lenovo or Acer), it is under my consideration also.

Any comment?

Confused. Laptops with different pricing.

Why are they so many international schools?

happyday119 — Thu, 30 Jan 2020 15:00:09 +0800

They are a lot of international schools and private schools around.

The school fees isn't really that "cheap"

Single guy like me feel a bit worry as someone I am dating(not gf, just someone I met on dating app) tells me that she wants to send her future kid to those school.

Are those parents who send their kids to these schools really rich?

2015 Toyota Corolla Altis and 2015 Mazda 3

happyday119 — Tue, 17 Dec 2019 17:57:39 +0800

2015 Toyota Corolla Altis 1.8G: RM65k, Mileage: 70k
2015 Mazda 3 GLS: RM62k, Mileage: 50k

Question:

1)What is the cons of getting a warranty expired used car?
As you can see both cars when they are new, price around RM120k, which is almost 60k saving.

2) Is it better to pay more money to buy an used car with warranty(example: 2017 Mazda 3)

For you, do you think is it worth to buy either one of above year 2015 cars?

How used car dealer works?

happyday119 — Tue, 03 Dec 2019 21:57:36 +0800

When we sell the car to used car dealer, they have 6 months grace period to sell the car, right?

During these 6 months, the car isn't under the used car dealer name, it is still the owner's name.

How to obtain the used car dealer license ya?

When the used car dealer take the car from the seller, do they use their own money to buy the car in full cash or they arrange it with the bank for some sort of loan?

Just curious.

New car vs Pre-owned, Pre-reg

happyday119 — Tue, 26 Nov 2019 16:08:43 +0800

I saw a few pre-reg, pre-owned cars(Kia, Hyundai, Mazda, etc)

If the new car price and the pre-reg/pre-owned price difference is RM10k and above(same car with same spec, same year)

Eg:

New car
Year made: 2019
Mileage: -
Price: RM90k
New car interest rate

Pre-reg/pre-owned car
Year made: 2019
Registered: June2, 2019
Mileage: 5k
Price: RM80k
New car interest rate

Which one will you pick and why?

Some people will said pre-reg car could be abused(test drive, show room, management level car). Does the difference of RM10k with the new car justifiable?
