Ceiling Light with White + Yellow Colour

thunder02 — Mon, 15 Apr 2019 17:46:26 +0800

Any good recommendation for shops in Klang Valley who sell ceiling lights with the said feature ? white + yellow light, in addition to be able to control the light intensity.
I am looking for those ceiling lights with the size of about 30 X 30cm or 45 X 45cm

It will be great if there are different design that i can choose from...

So far i only found this in the internet, but it seems like not much had happened to this product since 2017...
Xiaomi Yeelight Smart Lamp Wi-Fi LED Ceiling LED Light White, WiFi Remote app Smartphone, Remote Control Brightness 2700k - 6500k

I am thinking of having two of such light for the living room, of the size about 3750mm X 4800mm

I saw that there's a smart home thread here, but there are too much information there.
Hope you guys can help

Property around 400k in KL/Selangor

thunder02 — Mon, 19 Feb 2018 15:39:18 +0800

I am looking out for a property in the price range of 400k, in KL/Selangor region.

Some of the criterias that i am looking at:
1. Near to public transportation (LRT or MRT) - walking distance
2. Completion date from 2010 - 2019
3. Size more than 800 sqft
4. Personally i prefer some where nearby to PJ area, but it seems that it is quite hard to find something within my criteria. Am open to other location as well, as long as it is not too far away from kl.
Attaching a picture encircling the area that i prefer :/

Most property website only allow to search by area name, so it is kinda hard to name all the area within these region~
Will be glad if anyone of you know any good property that met the criteria above, or if you have a good unit yourself, try to pm me

For own stay. Thanks.

UnifiLite with Streamyx Port

thunder02 — Tue, 14 Nov 2017 10:12:04 +0800

Hi,

Recently i was told that i can upgrade to Unifi Lite from my current Streamyx connection.
My area is not covered by Unifi, but i was told that they can use Streamyx port to get me Unifi Lite.

Just wondering if the Unifi Lite connection via Streamyx port is stable, and can it really deliver 10Mbps download, and 5Mbps upload respectively ?

Cannot boot from window CD

thunder02 — Thu, 27 Dec 2012 11:05:08 +0800

I have some trouble with my pc recently, i am using window vista, and i just reformatted the computer. Yesterday night, i was installing the service pack 1 and it just restarted but it can never successfully boot after that...

Before this, i did touch the hardware in cpu abit, just pushing them in harder into the motherboard in case they got loosen after staying in place for a long time. As far as i remember, it can still successfully boot after that. My problem happen after while installing service pack (if i am not mistaken)

This is not the first time i install service pack (since i formatted my computer a few times for the past 1 or 2 year)

The problem now is that, whenever i start window normally, a blue screen will appear for a shortwhile before the computer restart again.
If i choose safe mode, it load till crcdisk and then it restart again (without blue screen)
If i boot from my original window cd, it will load the file in the cd but a blue screen will appear after that( the blue screen stays there, without restarting).

In all 3 condition, i can't go into window screen, thus i am not able to do anything...

Any other idea on how to solve it?
Or is it a hardware problem?

I tried to remove the ram 1 by 1, but its useless... (i got 2 ram) and the same thing happens...

Want guidance tostudy in US after STPM

thunder02 — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 18:47:07 +0800

I know that there are a number of people who managed to further their studies to US after STPM. Please share your experience with me. Thank you.
I have tried to search for information in the internet, but they can't answer all questions that arise within me.

Here are some of my questions:

Can I fly to US to further my studies right after i take my STPM exam without having my real STPM result? Is it possible for me to use any forecast, trial or monthly test result to apply to the universities in US? I asked this question as I don't want to waste time sitting in the house after the exam waiting for the result...

I know that i should take SAT 1, SAT 2 and TOEFL exam to gain entry to US universities. When is the right time to take these exams? If i take now, can i keep the result and only use it in the future when i apply to those universities. For your information, i just entered form 6 this year. I am aiming for Ivy league universities.

What i want now is gain entry to those universities.

Please share your experience with me and it will be appreciated. I asked these questions so early as i believe early birds catch the worm. Thank you.

Go Form 6 even with matriculation

thunder02 — Sat, 01 May 2010 20:08:00 +0800

I got matriculation but i think i will reject the offer as it is only recognised by IPTA and a few overseas universities. I wish to persuade my studies overseas to university like NUS and NTU.

I will get into Form 6 if i can't get a scholarship (JPA,...).

My question is, do i have to apply for the form 6 since some people say that those who get matriculation will automatically not getting form 6.

JPA scholarship question (PILN and PIDN)

thunder02 — Sat, 01 May 2010 10:02:00 +0800

I went to the JPA interview weeks ago and i have a few questions to ask.

If i am given the scholarship, will they send me for A-level or STPM?

If i am not given the scholarship and i do 'rayuan', will i be given PIDN?

If i am given PIDN, what are the possible courses (A-level, stpm, matriculation,...) as my pre-u?

And, if i cannot get the scholarship even after rayuan, can i apply for it again after STPM?
