Expired roadtax question

zephyrus9999 — Mon, 19 Dec 2022 23:42:07 +0800

I've a question.. tried looking around google but having conflicting info..

Currently my roadtax has expired on 6Aug2021. On the same JPJ inquiry website my insurance showing expired 29Mar2022. Though, I renewed my insurance last time with the cover note stating valid till 29Mar2023.

I read that there's an exemption of being able to renew road tax without undergoing puspakom inspection so long my road tax expiration is within 3 years till date. However, on JPJ website it states the following: "If the vehicle's LKM is not renewed for more than a year, the vehicle should be taken to Puspakom to get a vehicle inspection report (b2). After that, the owner / representative must be present at the RTD office along with the B2 Report, original vehicle registration certificate and sufficient payment for renewal.".

Also something to do with the moratorium deadline of Dec 2021?

So, am I able to just walk in post office and renew my roadtax?
thanks!

How much a failed business owner lose normally?

zephyrus9999 — Sat, 31 Dec 2016 21:12:52 +0800

We owayz see successful business then come up with naive conclusions doing biznez is easy money, at least back then. According to some articles bout 60% of sme biznez like cloth retail, cafes shops, phone shop, like that fails within very early stage.

I'm always wondering how much the owner normally lose? Assuming he pump 150k own cash. Then take bank loan close to 5-10k a month, after 2 years close shop. How much in total they lose 1? Any experience?

Now see plenty sohai fnb open inside shopping mall. Revenue 1 day 1k also cannot achieve, then tahan for 1-2years out of cash then close. After dat declare bankruptcy? Me think it's a big trend in coming years

Feeling Cheated by Digi

zephyrus9999 — Sat, 02 Jul 2016 20:44:46 +0800

Writing below is based on my personal experience on the prepaid product only.

Background
Since I work overseas, I only use prepaid in msia. I totally no idea of which line is the best for mobile data and since digi all along my personal line, I sticked to it and use it.
I normally get the Internet package using MMI code (*100#)

Have patience to read. Its TLDR already

What pissed me off

May
I subscribed to "Monthly RM30 - 2.25gb" (BTW When DIGI says 2.25gb, they can go fuk their own mom- its not 2.25, its like 50% during the entire day and 50% during 1am-7am. Anyway this is not the problem as I understand it before sub)

June
Before the end of 30 days, I tried to un-sub it on the 29th day via the MMI code. It passed through but Digi didnt send me a confirmation sms. I was like assuming its already unsub. Then the next day, I received a sms saying im re-sub to the RM30 monthly. I was like shit, should have double check. I was still alright maybe my bad. End up i didnt use a single MB from the so called 2.25gb coz gone oversea.

July
Just ngam ngam come back. Since I knew i was subbed to the RM30 monthly that still got 10 days left, so i opened my phone and surf the internet. I was wondering why its in EDGE but not 4G. After frustratingly surfing for 5 minutes, I received a sms from Digi saying i have used RM8 of prepaid internet for that day and could enjoy free internet for the rest of that day. I was like FUKING HOLY SHIT. I checked my prepaid balance and yes they robbed me RM8. Then i checked whether I am still on the monthly RM30 thing and yes I am still subbed with unused quota sommore. I knew it was a bug for sure.

For the rest of the entire day i try to surf the fking internet with that RM8 daily internet but its so SLOW and not working most of time. Got so pissed and desperate for mobile internet, I deactivated the monthly RM30 package, then sub to another of their product "Ramadhan Internet". Surprisingly it worked. And somehow the quota runs on this package then. The RM8 deal is gone like that....

Basically, I lost the RM30 package for nothing, also the RM8. Its not a big amount of money to me. But the inconvenience happened a few times, few other issues... small things that adds up.

Others

- I can tell you guys its so freaking lazy and non-user friendly the MMI code menu. There are too many sub menus and sub-sub menus and sub-sub-sub menus and sub-sub-sub-sub menus related to mobile internet. Dont have 1 single fuking page that displays all the selections that i can easily see. Example, there are "Super deals" "More internet" "Internet package" "Internet pass" "Internet promo" blablabla. Ive used long enough to know that, example you need to subscribe to "Internet package" to be able to addon with "Internet top up". If a noobie subscribe "Internet top up" first, it wont work and they wont warn you, and wont tell you why. Pretty sure it happens to others too.

- There is no clear selection to check usage quota from the MMI menu. Out from thousand of selections, have to navigate to "More internet package" and the "check quota" is hiding in the "Internet top up" sub category. My noobie friends was like wtf kind of interface is this. (Btw i know theres an online interface from digi. Thing is, no time for that)

- Digi sends out notification of over quota usage at times. I remember they sent me the notification that i used 90% of the quota when I have already surpassed it. For nothing I kena. Sometimes they good mood send in time. But lesson learn is to check urself instead.

- The MMI menu is so complicated enough, Digi have to spice up my life by making the connection so poor that theres always an average 30% of connection error everytime. After DC, need to re-enter the *100# blablabla again which is pain in my butt. DC tends to happen more on the selection when you want to un-sub their products. When want to sub that time, always sui sui no error 1.

Conclusion

Only conclusion that i can draw is that, I am not quite a smart person, whom still can stay relying on this form of internet for so long. lol. Almost 2 years since I use the internet off and go, off and go. All the small small idiotic $$$ lost I also forget how much ald.

Customer service? Forget it, experienced long enough to know what kind of CS will help and what kind of CS that wont help. And if CS that will help, kindly produce 1000 pages of documents. If I am Najib's son, oh Sir let me serve you right away! blow d!ck la.

Anyway guys, can suggest which telco the best to have prepaid internet? I just wanna remain my number.

The simpler the design and conveyance of information to customers, the better it is. I dont want a seller trying to show me a brochure of ketupat, explaining a bagua, carrying a banana, and handover a pot of bakuteh to me.

Cahaya Automotive

zephyrus9999 — Sun, 15 Nov 2015 10:02:29 +0800

Hi guys, previously i posted to get a 350z but after thinking much, its not a very wise decision considering the road tax and im not gonna use the car that often.
Anyway the second car that I yearn for is the 325i e90 @ 2006. I surveyed the dealerships and found one that i keen is a subsidiary of the yap brother group (CHY Automotive). Due to my work and logistic reasons, I wouldnt be able to get from direct owners and the hassles of running here and there.

On top of 35% DP, i have allocated 10-15k for expected repairs for a used car (9 year old!).

After much excitement, I looked through the internet and found there is one case before: After putting deposit, these buggers will exchange the ori car parts to broken parts with one of their panel car workshops during the waiting period. This will be out of my knowledge. Upon receiving the car, they provide 1 month warranty covering everything. During this time, the user had experienced problems with the ride, and send back to their workshop. What the workshop did is swapping back the previously removed ori part with the broken part. After 1 month out of warranty, then its the users problem.

Its very disheartening to read it. But I guess almost 90% of 2nd hand dealers are conjobs, but just coincidentally this particular victim voiced out alot in the internet. For the rest, they kept quiet and suck it up.
Even I plan to send it to a BMW specialist for pre-purchase. But now their tactic, it wont matter also.

Anyone had experience with this Cahaya/Yap brothers before?

How to undervolt my CPU/GPU?

zephyrus9999 — Mon, 09 Nov 2015 22:20:29 +0800

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo y510p laptop. It packs faily a good amount of power in gaming with its SLI 755M. Its a laptop btw.

However, it defeats its own purpose when the GPU runs at 90C when gaming, and when this happens, it slows down thus experiencing stuttering. My cooling pad isnt helping much.

I read around i could undervolt its GPU & CPU. I dont mind to slightly reduce some performance in exchange for reliability. However I do not want to do it myself, I rather have a proper person to do it despite its not skyrocket hard. The same guy could also paste up my GPU too.

My question is, any recommendation who you guys may know to do the job?

Should I buy a Rx-8?

zephyrus9999 — Tue, 25 Aug 2015 02:32:20 +0800

Hi guys, I appreciate some input from you guys. Currently working in sg, and have been car-less for some years. I no longer able to bear the pain of borrowing car from sister and dad whenever i come back for holidays. And im back average of once a month. Sometimes I may take 1-2 weeks time off that is accrued from working offshore. I have always loved a 350z, though I can afford it but naturally my thought is not to be that stupid paying 6k a year not utilizing it fully. So i want to settle something more reasonable, an RX-8. I dont have good knowledge on car technicalities, but only i love driving. Call me naive for falling in love with cars outlook, but hey YOLO man. Still in my 20's, the drive to have a nice car is strong.

How problematic it is to mantain a 10 year old rotary drive rx 8? Current market price is bout 50-60k. I thought of putting 20k DP and set aside expected 10k cash on repair, overhaul, etc. Since im not gonna drive this thing daily but only like few days a month (possibly my family member can borrow it too), day-to-day maintenance is not my concern. I am just worry on the 10 year old engine that is infamous of kaput. Does less frequent use cause problem too? Am i making a proper decision here?

How to capture the heart of high profile girls?

zephyrus9999 — Mon, 20 Jul 2015 15:44:24 +0800

I got a silly question cuz i have not experienced this before with other girls. Maybe you guys are capable of giving good advices.

For me, its fairly easy to score chicks inside club. One time ive been to one, and one chick caught my eye, and vice versa. So I approached her, dance, mini make out, spend some time blablabla and end up getting number. I texted her, but I felt that her replies are rather cold compare to normal girls. So, i looked up her social medias and apparently she's the type who has >30k followers on FB/Insta. That prolly answered my question as I too believe she demands a high expectation in guys and concurrently i believe she is bombarded with other guys as well. lol. Looking at this, I think i need a proper game plan rather than be my usual self (irony of people saying be yourself is the best, but it seemed it doesnt work here). Its not long that we met each other, 2 days so the emotion freshness still exists. And I actually yet to call her up. Thing is, perhaps its my nature to feel shaken when you expect someone whose much superior than you. But ill not pussy out

Any of you experienced this before though? Or has she lost interest? How you managed to tackle it? Lets put the assumption money is out of the equation for now. And we are in mid 20's.

My fren bought a hse. What you think

zephyrus9999 — Sun, 08 Mar 2015 21:00:03 +0800

Who is my colleague also. 26 year old. Going to sign SPA soon. 950k, monthly installment i guess 4.1k. But off course work in SG. Haha. I bought mine too but this is just too crazily expensive. I really wish to advise him to go cheaper just to play safe, but its not my position to judge people. Though RM 4.1k is like his 1/3 gross salary . Pay installment still will have bunch load of SGD to club, spend for ciggies and all, just our lifestyle
Locking @ 4.1k, just make a thought if want to return to bolehland, need to make at least RM8k. And we males are just too ego to be put down by negative comments. Same time im happy for him.

Why everyone does abs?

zephyrus9999 — Mon, 25 Aug 2014 19:13:13 +0800

Guys i cant help but to notice in all gyms i went to, most beginners always hog the abs machine/bench. I understand abs is physically appealing but with small and skinny physique from head to toe but these bunch just spend their whole session doing crunches. Skinny with abs is like fat woman with big boobs.

Wth man I know its not my business to judge but I really see they are wasting their time. Even for me I will bulk up nice nice first only then do abs. In fact during beginner stage for skinny people, you dont really have to do abs for them to appear. Any compound stuffs like military press, squat, deadlift, bent rows etc already engage the core area, and as more of these muscles get bigger, you will burn more fat from increased metabolism. Result is your abs gonna show more while getting bigger arms, legs, chest, back. Why not?

On the other hand opposite from hardgainers, flabby people also i see spend most their session crunching lol

Are you one of them?
