[WTR] Room for rent in Bukit Jalil - August 2013

angelicscars — Thu, 20 Jun 2013 01:54:54 +0800

LOCATION: Anjung Hijau Greenfields , Bukit Jalil. 3 mins drive to Bukit Jalil LRT & Sri Petaling LRT.
Very nice & quiet area. Walking distance to mamaks, restaurants, convenient stores, clinics, KK Mart, 7-11, & a few bars as well. There is also a Taxi & Bus stop right in front of the apartment complex. Right behind the apartment is the huge Bukit Jalil park. It's great for those who love the outdoors (& monkeys too =P but no they don't come out of the park so don't worry about monkeys invading the house =P).

FURNISHINGS: Couch (which is currently occupied by an English intern until the end of August), coffee table, TV, HyppTV, sit up bench, dining table, microwave oven, toaster oven, gas stove, washing machine, fridge, air-conditioner at the living hall, hot/cold showers. So yeah it's fully furnished.
But the room has only got a queen-sized bed plus mattress & a ceiling light. There is no AC or fan in the room. You have to get your own portable AC or fan.

RENT: RM400 per month.
Utility bills such as water, electric, internet (UNIFI) is shared among the 2 other flatmates. Always less than RM100 per person per month.
You will need to pay 2 & a half month deposit of RM1250 (the whole unit rent was divided equally between 3 of us when we first moved in, so the deposit is not based on room rates). You will get that amount back when you move out when the contract ends March 2014. Or if you find a replacement before the contract ends.

Existing flatmates:
1 male expat, 1 female Malaysian, working professionals. Active Couchsurfing members (https://www.couchsurfing.org). That means we host a lot of travelers so you must be OK with that.
1 loveable handsome ginger kitty by the name of Spud.
They’re awesome. So they want awesome people as flatmates as well, so if you think you're awesome then you're most welcomed in the house. Regardless of religion, nationality, ethic, etc. just as long as you're cool & open minded. =)

AVAILABLE STARTING AUGUST 2013

Headlights white and the normal yellow?

angelicscars — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 00:40:10 +0800

This is probably a noob question but what are the differences between using the normal yellow headlamps and the white ones? Obviously the white ones brighter, sometimes too bright that makes it dangerous for other drivers especially at night. But on some cars, it looks really nice not too bright, just nice.

Current rig vs MacBook Pro

angelicscars — Sat, 13 Nov 2010 02:57:43 +0800

Hope I'm posting in the right forum.

Between these:

The latest MacBook Pro:
15-inch: 2.53GHz
Intel Core i5
4GB RAM
500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
Intel HD Graphics
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M with 256MB

My current PC:
AMD Phenom X4 9550 2.2GHz
ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB GDDR3
4GB RAM (But using Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit so can only read about 3+GB RAM only)
Seagate Barracuda 7200 500GB

Which is more powerful? In terms of doing design, photo editing, video editing, etc. And also in terms of gaming.
I thought that since my current PC is quad-core, it should be more powerful than the MacBook Pro? But then that only matters if I do 3D rendering right? Because I'm told faster processors are for 3D. Correct me if I'm wrong.

PSU recommendation

angelicscars — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 17:21:36 +0800

Can you guys recommend a PSU for my current rig? I think I might have a problem with my current PSU since the hardisks are always disconnecting. T__T

Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 32-Bit
AMD Phenom X4 9550 2.2GHz
ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB GDDR3
4GB RAM
500GB HD + 320GB HD + 160GB HD

My current PSU is Power Logic 500T

Do you think it's because of not enough power that my harddisks are always disconnecting?

windows 7 boot error

angelicscars — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 06:26:41 +0800

Initially, my computer was having a problem, my extra internal HDD kept disappearing from "My Computer". It detected the HDD at first after start up but after a few minutes, the HDD is gone. I checked at "Disk Management" but it wasn't there either.

It definitely was not caused by faulty HDD because I RMA-ed it like twice and also when I used the SATA-USB converter and plugged it on another computer, it was fine.

Then the real problem starts;
I restarted my pc and it won't boot. Got stuck right after the windows logo with a black screen with only mouse cursor in the middle. So I sent it for repair but the repair guy said it was just an OS problem so I went back and reinstalled Windows 7.

But the problem still persists. It was fine right after the installation. I was able to boot a couple of times without fail and it detects the extra internal HDD. I was able to use my pc normally. But then a few days later, I turned on my pc again, it says boot error please insert the correct boot media or something similar to that. And also, I checked at the bios settings, sometimes it detects the HDD and sometimes when I reboot and checked, it doesn't. Then I did the Windows Recovery using the Windows dvd.

However, at the System Recovery Option, my OS is not listed so System Restore is not an option. So then I did Start Up Repair and this is what I got:
"The partition table does not have a valid system partition"

FYI, I reinstalled Windows 7 countless of times in hopes to get it fixed but each time I end up like getting the same error. I just don't know what to do anymore and I have LOADS of work to do.

Please help?

If you need info on my system, they're all there in my signature.

Another question on mobos for Phenom and Phenom II

angelicscars — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 13:58:09 +0800

Can anyone suggest a motherboard that has these features below?

-firewire
-supports Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
-I'm using Phenom X4 9550 at the moment and planning to upgrade to Phenom II X4 or X6 later, but now I'm just planning to upgrade my mobo. So I need a mobo that will allow me to upgrade the processor later, so which means it should be able to support both Phenom and Phenom II.
-And I'm using DDR2 RAM. Got AM3 mobo that supports DDR2?

and of course the basics, SATA, USB, etc. But most important are the 4 features listed above.

Oh and something decently/reasonably priced, affordable or at least the cheapest of its kind. =P

Thanks in advance!

Looking for ppl to make short films/video projects

angelicscars — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 22:22:51 +0800

Hi, I hope this is the right place.

I'm looking for a few people to help me in building up my portfolio in filming and visual effects. Preferably college students also.
I would need actors/actress, storyboard artists, scriptwriters, and cinematographers.
If you're studying in either one of these fields, it's a great opportunity to build your portfolios as well. =)
So that you can improve your part and I can improve my part.

I'm currently thinking of making a short film or maybe a music video. And I would need some people to help me with that, brainstorming the ideas and all.
So if you are an acting/theater/drama student, or planning to work in either of these fields ---> storyboard artist, scriptwriter or cinematographer/director/film-maker/editor. Let's make a collaboration together so that we could improve our skills and build a strong portfolio. =D

Or if you just want to have fun and make movies, you can join as well. Hehe

PM me if you're interested.

angelicscars — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 19:46:56 +0800

A girl with the mind of boy?

angelicscars — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 04:51:17 +0800

I was just wondering. Since, sometimes, I don't feel like a girl at all. Is anybody feeling the same way? Lol.

This is a story/experience that I want to share and get some opinions/perspective from other people maybe. Please don't hate me or whatever. Be warned, its a long post.

Well, since I was a little kid, I was always playing with boys' toys like toy-guns, legos, cars, etc. I just love playing those things. I loved Dragon Balls instead of the silly Sailor Moon, I loved Power Rangers, Cyber Cops, Ultraman, just name any superhero fighting related show. Lol. And I do play with barbies, teddy bears, polly pockets, and other girls toys too. But those barbies were gifts from my aunt so if she didnt gave em to me, I would have never asked for any =P.

But all my life, all the things that interest me the most are guy stuff. Like cars, video games, loud rock music, guitars, drums, robots, legos, extreme sports, computers, gadgets, you name it. But at the same time I like doing girl stuff too. It's like I'm 80% guy, 20% girl? Hahhaa. I got along well with my male cousins the most, we'd play wrestling, cops and robbers, running around, just like the typical boys do. Sometimes when they took off their shirt because its too warm, I took off mine too, thinking that I'm one of the boys too. Of course, I was young, got no boobs yet so don't feel malu la. Hahhaha. And then my mom would scold me. =P

When I was young, I also HATED wearing gowns or any other girly clothes. Every time during shopping time with my parents, I'd go for sneakers instead of cute mary-janes (which I hated a lot. =P), I prefer boys clothes. If the average girl in her life would have lotsa preeetty and cute lil maryjanes when they were little, I'd have the same amount of boys shoes, sneakers that have lights on it when u walk, power rangers sneakers, etc. Hahhaa. Until now, I just LOVE sneakers. =D I do wear heels too but RARELY, or only during special occasions.

Once during primary school, I even cut my hair on the sides to make it look like I have a side burn. =S
I think if it were not because of my lack of self-confidence, I would have asked my parents to bring me to the barber and cut my hair so short like a boy. I also don't like to sit in a proper or sopan manner that a girl should. My feet is always on this side and the other feet is on another side. =P
I just feel comfortable that way.

Then I got into secondary school, and I still act like a boy. I loved playing pranks on my classmates. I joined the scouts, ride my bicycle every evening, play video games a lot, listening to music as loudly as my parents can stand =P. Then puberty hits, lol, I started wearing training bras T__T. And my friends would always say to me that, "Hey, face it u're a grown woman now" or something along that line. T__T

Oh and I remember clearly when I was young, I asked my mom why was I not born a boy? =S
BUT, as much as I wanted to be a boy so badly, I am not attracted to girls like a typical female-to-male person would be. It's like if I were a boy, I'd be a gay boy. Lol.

I never really wear really girly clothes, make up, getting handbags until like 1 year ago. Oh and I'm 23 this year. T__T
All this while were just baby t-shirts and jeans and a pair of chuck taylors. Now I've started wearing blouse, girls clothes, or whatever u called it. Lol. My mom is always telling me to start wearing make up and be more girly as I'm getting older and in college and what not.

The thing is, I just don't feel comfortable at all acting and looking feminine. I feel like I'm not myself at all, I feel fake. Even now that I started wearing and buying girly clothes, I still prefer to wear my casual baby tees, plaid shirts, kinda like the rocker chick look? Lol. But what's weird though, I like going in Zara, Nichii, Forever 21. etc and look at those nice beautiful clothes. And I would love to buy them, but the problem is I don't think I would wear them. Haha. I dunno, I'm weird I guess?

I do not talk as cute or polite or soft as girls do. I get a long with guys better than girls as we have a lot of things in common and I know things that guys know so we'd have interesting conversations, like video games, cars, stupid movies like jackass or american pie, etc. I'd also team up with my guy friends and tease or prank on our female friends. I make dirty jokes that usually guys do.

I think like a guy, my attitude and behavior is more to of a guy. I do not cry in public and have NEVER and would never crying front of anyone except my family, even my bestest friends haven't even saw me cry at all. I don't show my feelings, I'm not touchy feely, I don't like talking about feelings. I can be very egoistic sometimes. When I get very upset or angry I like to punch things, like the wall? =S
I like all things adventurous, extreme sports like skateboarding, martial arts or anything that involves fighting. Lol. I have learn taekwondo, kickboxing, capoeira. =P
I just love anything extreme and hard. So tell me, am I crazy or mentally ill? Or was I born in the wrong gender? Lol.

Another thing is, I also feel inferior every time I'm around pretty and feminine girls. It's because they're pretty and they don't seem to even try to be pretty. It's like I want to be like them but I don't. I don't know how to explain it but, the feeling is like 50/50. I want to be feminine so that guys wont see me as just one of the lads every time we hang out. But at the same time, I feel comfortable with the way I am now. A tomboy girl who is carefree, doesn't even bother about her make up or hairstyle etc. A girl who just wants to have fun and adventure without having to worry about not looking pretty all the time. T__T

I guess that's why I don't have a boyfriend. =\
I know guys like girly sexy feminine girls, and I try to be one but I feel so fake and not myself. Are there guys who likes tomboy girls at all? I mean, there are a few tomboys who are sexy...like Michelle Rodriguez and the surfer girl in 90210 drama series. =P But then again...I'm no Michelle Rodriguez. Hahaha.

To sum it up:

My male side:
- I'm a mess =P
- My writing is worst than a 3 year old
- I don't cry in front of people
- I don't like to show emotions/feelings
- I don't like to talk about my feelings
- I like extreme and adventurous things
- I like to do what guys do
- I hate it so much when people say, "It's a girls job, so girls have to do it" like washing the dishes. Or "Only guys can do that" like skateboarding for example.
- When I get very very upset or frustrated, I like to punch things, like the wall.
- If I hate somebody or am angry at someone so much, I feel like punching and want to "belasah" that person. =\
- I can be very egoistic
- Sometimes I try to talk in a deeper voice. I even passed as a guy when I was doing prank phone calls on my friends, pretending to be another guy. xD (Okay at this point, I think I really am mentally ill. Hahaha)

My feminine side:
- I'm attracted to guys =P
- I like shopping
- I like to see and buy beautiful girly clothes and heels, but I don't think I'd wear them though. =P
- I like to watch chick flicks and romantic movies/dramas.
- There is a part of me that wants a guy to treat me like a woman instead of one of the lads.
- I want to wear nice clothes, but I'm not comfortable. =\

I think I'm going crazy.

So any of you have experienced similar situations or know people like me? Care to share your thoughts?

PS: I'm not a pengkid. There is a big difference between tomboys and pengkids/dykes/butchs/transgendered men. And don't get confused.

iMac and MacBook Pro VS my current PC

angelicscars — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 18:06:15 +0800

I'm considering to switch to Mac since I do a lot of graphics and design related stuff. Since it is said that Mac is smoother and better when doing those stuff. And also the color is also great. But if I buy the "21.5-inch: 3.06GHz" iMac OR the "13-inch: 2.66GHz" MacBook Pro, would it still be slower than my current PC since I'm using a 4-core processor and also a better grapics card?

5GB RAM but still slow when using After Effects

angelicscars — Mon, 10 May 2010 11:45:33 +0800

My PC has 5GB of ram and using AMD Phenom X4. I'm trying to edit a HD video in After Effects and it's slow as hell. I'm not talking about render time, it's when I add some effects and also when I want to RAM preview. Isn't 5GB enough?
I know rendering uses the processor right?
