What vaccines do you take regularly?

ericling — Thu, 02 Jan 2025 10:09:46 +0800

Happy new year folks

Considering to setup a regular schedule for me and my wife to take vaccines.

Based on my research, usually people take Influenza vaccines every year. Also considering to take covid vaccines regularly, but very little research available online (even less so for Malaysia context).

Just to seek second opinions from people here - what vaccines do you take regularly?

FullHD IPS Monitor: LG vs Viewsonic

ericling — Thu, 13 Sep 2018 09:45:10 +0800

Hi all,

I am looking for a budget FullHD IPS monitor for my desktop. I have narrowed all my options to two:

a) LG 22MK430H-B (RM349)
b) Viewsonic VA2419-sh (RM419)

Anyone has experience with either of these two monitors? Viewsonic is RM70 more expensive while being bigger screen but I am not too concerned about screen size.

Having compared the tech specs of these two, they are very similar, therefore I am more concerned about the out-of-factory screen calibration, reliability and warranty. At the moment I perceive LG to have better quality but I am not too sure, so I am here to get advises from the experienced ones.

Which option would you go for?

Thanks in advance!

Serial number on products not the same on the box

ericling — Sat, 23 Aug 2014 09:43:04 +0800

So two days ago, I went to Lowyat and Viewnet 3rd floor. I bought a wired PC Xbox controller 360 at the price of RM69. I asked whether it is a new unit or not and the viewnet guy said it is a new unit. I still have my doubts so I asked whether it is refurbished. He then said yes plus he said refurbished wont have this same packaging.
After I bought the controller, I immediately opened the box and checked the controller. The condition is fine, even with the Microsoft hologram.
Then when I start using the controller in my house, something doesnt feel quite right. It feels way lighter, I weigh the controller and it is only 195g.
Finally, I thought of checking the serial number, only to realize the number on the box and the controller is not the same.

I feel quite disappointed which I have been purchasing from Viewnet so many times and even recommend to my friend.
The worst thing is, the controller LB button starting to get loose. To be honest, I feel cheated. I will try to go Lowyat again next week but I am posting here first perhaps people from viewnet can help. Or maybe is there any suggestion on how I should handle this matter? Any help is appreciated.

SOLVED.

QUOTE(ericling @ Sep 1 2014, 08:18 PM)

Just went to Viewnet this morning. The staff talked nicely to me although they didn't offer for an exchange/refund at the first time. They gave excuse saying that it's a new batch of products etc. Then, I proved it by pointing out it has no inline cable release, it is too light, and there is no driver CD.

They then offered cash credit so I would top up RM50 more for the RM119 original controller. I accepted it. I can fairly say it's still a good service from them. At least the staffs are polite.

I would suggest everyone who is going to buy a xbox controller, please lookout for
a) Is there inline cable release on the controller?
b) Is the drivers CD included?
c) Is the controller heavy enough?
d) Is the Microsoft hologram looks 3D? (This is a tricky point) The real microsoft hologram really is 3D. You need to see the 'Microsoft' word pops out like 3D. Not SHINY.

Still feel quite disappointed that Viewnet sells fake products though.

Best plan for wireless broadband now?

ericling — Mon, 21 Apr 2014 23:39:25 +0800

I'm moving to UCSI,Cheras to further my study and I'm going to stay in off-campus which doesn't have any wifi there.
So, I am looking for a wireless broadband plan for my laptop and my phone.

I checked out Umobile and they have the MB68 plan which is RM 58 per month with 10GB (5GB all day, 5GB Off Peak Hour) plus a free modem.

This plan sounds pretty good to me but I wonder is U mobile line stable? A stable 1mbps will be enough to me.
Any other suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

Study Logistics Management in UCSI

ericling — Tue, 11 Mar 2014 14:50:38 +0800

I've read that UCSI is the first university in Malaysia to offer courses in Logistics Management.
Personally I've not heard a lot about UCSI and my parents never even heard about this university.

May I know any other colleges that are good to study Logistics Management? Is it true that UCSI is the best university to study for Logistics Management? How is UTAR compare to UCSI?

Thanks in advance

Short term upgrade

ericling — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 22:47:31 +0800

Processor: Intel Pentium D820 2.8GHz
Ram :2GB DDR2
Graphic card: GeForce GT 210
Motherboard: MSI MS-7236
Windows 7
PSU: 450W, 230(Real power)
Monitor: LG 21 inches

The only game I play with my computer is Fifa and PES. But with the 2013 versions, my computer couldn't handle them.
My main problem is, I will most probably buy a new computer(Laptop most likely) in one year time.(2014)
So which part should I upgrade first?
The most obvious choice I think is to upgrade my processor but is there any economical way? Because it's just for one year. Need some advise from sifu, thanks

Windows randomly shows korean/chinese words as box

ericling — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 09:57:46 +0800

Hi, recently my Windows randomly shows korean/chinese words or some special symbol as boxes.
I can fix it temporary by restarting the computer, but I wonder what's the problem? How can I fix it?
I am sure that I installed the language pack from windows, and that's why I can fix it by restarting the computer?
It gets annoying when you have to restart the computer everytime to fix it.
Any solution sifus?
