Fingerprint sensor

ymc2303 — Tue, 13 Jun 2017 17:04:34 +0800

i have an issue with my phone these few days. had bloated battery issue. not sure if its from power bank or other issue.
phone : htc desire 10 pro
warranty : until jan 18

at first i thought its just battery bloated, but as days goes by, the cover partly got ripped out, exposing the internal peripherals. I had to press firmly to close every time it ripped out. but one day as i didn't touch anything on the phone, the the whole cover ripped out and i can see the there is a strip for the finger print sensor. not waiting anymore, i went to htc service center and let them check.
today they called and ask for payment of the damage strip as per noted by technician. but for my understanding, the battery bloated and causes damage to the strip, then is it under warranty? they say no, if need proceed, i have to pay meanwhile there is warranty.
i had htc previously and had no issue but this model really give me headache.
i checked online and saw the fingerprint sensor is actually together with the battery and cover, and so i ask the service center, since battery problem cause the sensor to ripped, why i need pay for it? sad..

Power button not working

ymc2303 — Tue, 21 Jul 2015 17:27:50 +0800

HI there, before i take my laptop to repair, i want to ask about my issue with my laptop here.
Few days ago, my laptop drop and in result, the power button cease to light up when ever i plug the AC and tries to open it. The battery light indication shows the battery level is fine. I have no way of opening my laptop cos the power button is not working. But when i remove the battery and use it solely with AC adapter, it boots automatically. There is one time when booting, after finish loading, the date/time went back to the manufactured date..
now whenever i need to use my laptop, it was on 50-50 chance i can open it cos sometimes when i plug the AC, my laptop won't automatically boot anymore. But 100% sure that when plugging the battery with my laptop, there is no way of opening it.

Any idea why?

Am sad

Here is my story.

Back then on February 2013, i met a girl online and somehow we click and we talked. Talked more than i can imagine we would. My heart would go racing whenever i talk to her on the phone or via wechat or whatsapp. Makes me happy by then. But we are just chatting like normal friends would do. Remember i did post a thread about her Ex stalking her and things like its complicated between she and him? Well, this happened since beginning of January 2013 but she did told me she already broke up with him. Just that her ex does not want to accept that fact. And so, things went complicated while I am in the midst of courting her and her ex-bf incident. But things went well between us. Well, apart from her ex-bf incident, she had problems with her family as well. So in the course of making friendship, i do encourage her alot and provide options for all her problems. Surprisingly she obliged all my options and thinks that is a wise decision after much thinking. And so, in April 2013, she became my gf. I was so happy. More than words can say.
Things went like normal couple would do. We talked and we enjoyed each others company. We even did the silliest things but for me, its anything for her. Not long, she had a big quarrel with her sis and decided to move out. So i offer her to stay with me. This makes us more connected. But that does not mean we do not have conflicts of interest and arguments. We do and we reconcile because we really enjoy each other's company. Practically we buy our own groceries, cook by ourselves, go outing etc etc.
And so, somewhere in September 2013, i do remember we had an argument about expenses. Whenever we argue we tends to bring out all the negative and past of our partner did back then that we don't like, we are no different. and so she make a decision to rent a room closest to her office. Well, according to her, its more cost efficient that way but travelling to my place would seems bit too far for her. Its a tough decision but i told her i will go to her. On October 2013, i got a new job that requires me to work on shifts. Its the beginning of my nightmare when i cannot even allocate any time for her. Its like when she go to work, i am either resting at home or sleeping and vice versa. I worked as a front office btw. and i don't drive. so meeting up would mean probably on my weekdays. Previously we did discuss this and thinks that its not a big deal but we were wrong. Things went haywire. She did ask for break up but i assured her that its going to be ok. And so, while not meeting up, we 'line' each other and sometime making a call. Her work is hectic. My work is due to irregular shift. Practically we did not meet up since early of October.
In the events of not meeting up, i can sense her messages were bit emo. She say she misses me a lot. I felt that way too. But due to work, both, we are occupied. and the reason why i overflowed with emotion is that on 04.10.13, she did told me that her back pains. She thought it was due to period that time. and so she ignored of the pain. On 09.10.13, she complained that she was vomiting and had back pain. and so again, she ignored but went to local clinic due to the back pain.
and so, the worst comes when on 12.10.13, she had the same pain but this time she was admitted to the hospital. Doctor diagnosed her with a heart failure on a 40% functionality. That time my heart dropped. and so when i go to visit her at hospital earlier today, i went to the ward and discovered that she had been transferred to ICU. My heart sank and i am in tears. When i saw her, literally it was like she was waiting to die or something.. i was like.. OMG.. my gf is going to die? my mind went totally blank. We talked and gave some encouragement to her to stay positive. Then suddenly she ask for break up. She say she does not want to burden me as she is going thru her darkest hours and she does not wish to me to she her in this state. She also joke if she is recovered, maybe grab a coffee or something someday.. as my mind went blank due to her current situation, i would like 'if you are happy and will recover without me being around, then break up is a solution'.. as i too does not want to burden her with our current relationship status.
She told me that today 14.10.13, is the last day i can see her and ask me to go home to get some sleep as i come straight after my shift. Being holding up my tears i left the ward. Soon after that, its tears all the way home. I am unsure if i could see her again tomorrow after my shift as she did told me not to come and i do not want to burden her heart condition worsen because of me. But for me, i would go for anything even its a peek. Nothing more in my heart now to see her recover and healthy again.

Thanks for reading. Even though sharing all this, it does not alleviate my current emotion status..

Witheld salary

ymc2303 — Tue, 03 Sep 2013 17:39:27 +0800

Just want to know if anyone knows if a company that withheld a salary from a staff later than 7th of each month, would it still fall into Labour Office's jurisdiction?
I am being told to get an early exit, promised of well, full month salary. Plus commission, allowance & etc payments..
If my ex company does withheld my salary, what can I do and what can't I do? I am clueless.

Enlighten Me

ymc2303 — Mon, 08 Jul 2013 11:39:52 +0800

Where a wage period is not specified in the contract of service, the wage period shall
deemed to be 1 month. A wage period shall not exceed 1 month.

What does this means?

Currently i work in a new company. They deduct my pay simply by saying i started work on 3rd June. Inb4 1st is Agong's Birthday and 2nd June is Sunday. When approach my HR, they say due to me, being new in the company, so, might not get full pay in the first month whereby my contract stated a full pay.

Can anyone give advice? Any of you got victimized?

Stalker Ex

ymc2303 — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 13:38:34 +0800

This is on behalf of my sister.

things happen 3yrs back when a friend introduce a guy to her during a gathering. She is 19 and that guy is 29 back then. Now she is 25.
well, you can called it love or happiness. Both of them hit it off and be a couple.
But her nightmare start when its in the relationship, not only the guy is hot headed but he does occasionally take out his stress on his gf (my sister). Occasionally bad mouthing her just to ease his stress. I am not sure what profession he is in but according to my sis, he is in the white collar industry. Our family don't really like him but my sis defy her parents just to be with him, so i think he must have something that can captivate my sis heart.

During these three years old relationship, there are ups and downs. Occasionally my sis would end up lending money to him. The sum is not small. Last time i did remember her lending him RM15k for the downpayment of car. Dunno its plain stupid or just blinded by love. So after lending that jerk, he accused her of getting him into monthly repayment of the car and to her thus making him more stressful on the financial side. On and off, my sister did lend him more money, well he did pay back some but his attitude was like my sis owe him.

So early this year, after all that mental and verbal abuse, she can no longer take it anymore. She decided to call it quit. So she initiate the break up with him. So after few weeks later, he act as if there is nothing happen and think that my sis is still his gf. Beginning early this month, he has been harassing her with calls, shouting and threaten to commit suicide, yelling at my sis as if she is the one who is wrong, appear at our house and stand there waiting for my sis like those ah long.. some more dare to say to my parents that my sis promise to have breakfast with him (which explain why he is standing in front of our house) on which is an obvious lie. So i suggest to her to block his calls and sms, but that jerk appear in front of our house when he realized he got blocked by my sis. Relentlessly this has becoming annoying and somehow disturbance of peace in our house. That jerk, my sis ex, knows where she lives, where she works, whose her friends are and most importantly she knows my sis has a weakness of being a soft heart.

So fellow CCs, what choice can i make?

- Do a police report?
- Tell our parents on this nuisance?
- beat the guy up?
- discuss openly with the guy?

Last week i did suggest that maybe she can ask me to go with her and have an open discussion with him as an adult, on which the discussion must end with that guy not disturb my sis anymore or else we will be forced to get extreme measures to get rid of this annoying bug..
But she still not yet decided cos' she don't want our parents know about this.

Cooling Period

ymc2303 — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 13:01:22 +0800

Hi all,

Apparently i am also going to join the single club soon.
My story of us being together start 2yrs ago.

I met her thru online dating portal. As she was suffering from her hurt over her past relationship, well .. Me as a friend started to care and listen, eventually had feelings for her more than a friend. She had the same feelings as i do. As a normal couple, we did a lot of things, be it happy or not so happy, we are there together. But it came on last year august, that her company had assigned her to work in Singapore. Upon hearing this, i am devastated. Unable to ask her to stay for my sake as i know this is what she wants in her career. So from the period of Aug- Sept, we actually had try to live together in which we can feel as if we are a young married couple. and on Oct'12, she flies to Singapore to work, leaving me behind. Since then i have been looking for job in Singapore but to no avail. and she did mentioned she wanted me to go as well so we can take care each other while in Singapore. Our relationship does not end even if she is in Singapore.
Instead, we are having LDR. which initially i think we can manage it if we put effort to it. No kidding, i am traveling each and every week to Singapore back and forth just to see her. She also did come back initially knowingly that her financial background is stronger than mine. Our days together are simple but we had joy and we had season in the sun. We are in love.

But everything went from slightly off expectation to awfully off expectation, when we had argument regarding money, getting to know friends, family and of course traveling part. Apparently she expect me to give in to her request.
As per arrangement - we actually agreed on when i do traveling then she would fork for the expenses in Singapore. As for getting to know friends, she would totally barred me from knowing any girls or even guys alike, whenever she sees i am talking to a girl she would get berserk. (i only store my mum's no )
As for family, i hope she would take care of my mum if i m not around. And she actually told me off saying that i did not take care her mum also. i was like thinking if we get married one day, she would have to take care of my mum also. Based on what she told me, even if married already, she would care less of my mum.. kicking the ball back to me.

Starting this year, everything is not as what we planned.. We'd argue almost to anything. i thought it was that we care for each other feelings that argued but things were not this simple. We can barely tolerate with each other attitude. So to speak, last month she finally decided to have cooling period. and i agreed to it. But we still keep contacting each other even calls. Don't ask me why like that. Its her style to give an option then she herself overwrite that option with another terms. I am really thinking that every couple would have this stage of cooling period but i am not know if its the right decision on whether this love still exist, whether i still care for her or whether we should be together or not. Things had drag for far too long. It could be that both of us don't want to face the harsh reality that our love has began to fade.

Speaking of deja vu.. i also had the offer to work in Singapore starting next month. I would not hope any great expectations comes out from this cooling period but i do hope i make the right decision to respect her for her decision for cooling period. I do hope we can make it to the end of cooling period where we can come out with an answer that is favorable to both. But as for now, i am stuck with finding room, getting a phone line etc etc.. Do you think its ok to make such decision?

- all is welcome to give comment or even flame.

Nine words Girls Use

ymc2303 — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 20:44:07 +0800

Nine words Girls Use

1) Fine - This is the word girls use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

2) Five minutes - If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have
been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

3) Nothing - This is the calm before storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that
begin with nothing usually end in fine.

4) Go Ahead - This is a dare, not permission.. Don't do it!

5) Loud Sigh - This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means
she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with
you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing)

6) That's okay - This is one of the most dangerous statement a girl can make to a guy. That's okay means she wants to
think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake..

7) Thanks - A girl is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here -
This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is a PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all.
DO NOT say'you're welcome'. That will bring on a 'Whatever')

8) Whatever - Is a girl's way of saying piss off!

9) Don't Worry About It, I'll do it - Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a girl has told a guy to
do several times, but is now doing herself. This will later result in a guy asking 'What's
Wrong?'. For the girl's response, please refer to #3

is it possible?

ymc2303 — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 16:28:27 +0800

as per topic..

is it possible for employer to impose a warning letter on their employee for mistakes done in internal email? i.e typo and wrong recipient

i have a situation where i was given warning letter.. inside the letter mentioned, that while drafting Sales contract, shipping instruction, all the terms used were in correct. I am being penalized for having such mistakes while the new staff, who got hired last month was doing the same mistakes and not being penalized.. is this fair? or can i take this as complain and ask for legal advice?

She is committing suicide!

ymc2303 — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 13:39:34 +0800

Just now while msn with a friend of mine, that i know over the other forum.. just normal friends. Usual chat of crap.. But all of a suddenly she mentioned her hands got blood and dunno what to do.. i got worried and tried to call.. but no one is answering. I scared she really committing suicide.

Her background is something like this :

1) her husband left her after marriage in about 9mths ago. Reason her husband left is because of M, charming (voodoo/ kong tau) her her husband while at work. Everyday the M would bring a glass of water to her husband. I would not knw if this is real black magic or not. He drank the 'water' everyday even after marriage.. Not suspecting anything wrong with the water, slowly his attitude changed towards my friend. Eventually after marriage of 3mths, he left my friend without any trace. Leaving debts.

2) Having to pay debts left by her runaway husband, she still need to pay for the new hse, since its a joint account between her and her husband. By having monthly pay of rm1300, she could not afford to pay all that and start to get depressed. Not to mentioned that her present employer actually did not give her any offer letter for working and payday is always late.

My worry is that she works alone. Her office is some sort of like a container cum office.. So if she does committing suicide.. there is no way anyone would know. Her boss only comes in every 2-3times per week.

Advise what to do? Anyone?

I tried call her cellphone but no answer. Or maybe i mis-interpret her msn msg?

ymc2303 — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 13:56:22 +0800

I met a girl on a website recently. Ivy is her name. After getting msn from each other, i m proceeding to ask her mobile number. Just a day after getting number from her, she called. We began to chat like old friends on the phone. And so, the calling was being initiate by me everyday as i do like to hear her voice. She seldom sms me. We began to tell each other our background, stories, sad and happy moments etc etc..I will miss her voice if one day i did not hear it.. I m unsure why i m feeling like this..
Today, call her as usual. She told me that her God Brother's dad just passed away..uh oh!!~ She told me that his dad passed away at 5.45am today. Suddenly i am feeling sad for her. Consoled her. I do not know what should I do at the moment to help as i felt powerless.. Maybe the only thing i can do is to share the sadness..Am i doing the right thing? I want things to go as they ought to be. err.. i meant relationship. No force just follow the flow.

But here is the things i am not so sure..

1) does she just want someone to chat, that is why she called?
2) she said she is a typical girl.. i m not sure what she meant..

so, do i wait for her and observe like i always do?

How? What advise shld i give him?

ymc2303 — Sun, 06 Feb 2011 21:00:52 +0800

ok i cut short.

My friend knw a girl in internet. Only to knw the girl do service. After discussing rates, my friend agreed to bank that amount. After banking in initially rm80 (booking), rm80 (late booking) and rm80 (small d***, i was WTF!!), the girl asked for rm500 for groceries (beers, tit bits, ice creams etc etc) that my friend did not asked, rm300 cos' her debtor held her (that is when i lend my friend money) and lastly she ask rm200 for interest she owed to debtors.

Situation began when the girl say she is under influence of thugs and police. Then she threaten us. What i am afraid is my safety after being threaten (still have all the sms from start till now)..
now that it got me involved.. what can i and my friend do?

lodged a police report? (but the says she is under influence from thugs n police)
go MCA? (she claimed she had Michael Chong's private number)
go bank? (bank's CS says my friend's chance of getting back money is at minimal)

I m afraid of safety for myself n my friend. What can we do?
