Batch closed

This is a batch order for the UK second-hand item shop CeX. CeX is a reputable shop with branches all over the UK and a few other countries, and they have the best variety of cheap second hand games in good condition I've seen so far - newer games are still expensive but you can find a lot of the older ones quite cheaply and for as low as 3 pounds (RM16.50). I have personally bought a few games from them before and all of them worked fine.

Alternatively, you can also shop on GAME.co.uk and Amazon UK, both of which stock new games and used games at pretty good prices (especially the older ones). GAME is a UK video game retailer I have also purchased second hand games from before (stock availability may not be as consistent as CeX's). Amazon has pretty much everything, but has extra domestic postage. Please note that CeX only sells USED GAMES. Feel free to order new games from GAME and Amazon. You may also order PS4/XBoxOne/XBox360/Wii/PS Vita/3DS etc games as long as it is in stock.

Batch will close end May (or when order limit is reached) and games will arrive in mid June.

Prices on website are in British pounds. £1 = approximately RM5.50.

The price you pay is calculated by:
[Item price] + [International postage and service fee] + [Local Poslaju postage] = TOTAL

International postage and service fee:
1 game: RM20 per game.
2 games and above: RM15 per game.

**If buying from Amazon.co.uk, there will be additional domestic delivery as different games are sold by different shops unlike CeX and GAME. Check price list on Amazon item link for postage price. Poslaju postage depends on number of games (balance will be refunded). Item price will be calculated according to the exchange rate at the time of order.

Important Notes:
- I am not responsible for games not working. I'm just a middleman and I cannot test the games before they reach here. This is highly unlikely though!
- Standard-sized games only, no big-ass super-sized limited edition boxes.
- No cancellations after payment is made.
- All PS3 games region type is R2.
- Payment by Maybank deposit only.
- Games will be sent by Poslaju (PosDaftar if Poslaju price exceeds estimate) or COD in Subang.

[WTA] Entry-level DSLR or mirrorless?

xAoiSora — Wed, 05 Sep 2012 22:29:03 +0800

Hi, I'm sorry if this question has been asked a million times, but I've done my research on Google and I still can't answer this question because I have different wants from other photographers.

I am a newbie with a point and shoot interested in learning photography, and I want to upgrade my camera. What I'm shooting:

- Portraits
- Toys and figures (close-ups)
- Random shots while travelling

I want a camera with a lot of functions so I can learn about them, not like the way point and shoots are so limited to Auto mode. Price is an important factor because I'm not rich, my budget is around RM1700 (including lens). Initially I really wanted to get an entry-level DSLR, that is the Nikon D3100, but people often said that mirrorless cameras were equally as good as entry-level DSLRs.

I don't mind the weight of DSLRs but I don't like the size because I have to bring a camera bag around, but at the same time I am seriously interested in photography and feel I should start with a DSLR. But if mirrorless cameras can offer the same image quality (I won't use high ISO much and I'm not shooting sports so speed isn't important), it seems to make more sense to get a mirrorless camera since it's not so bulky.

Right now my options are either the Nikon D3100, or for mirrorless, the Olympus PEN Mini E-PM1, Nikon J1 (seems to be on discount at several shops now), or Olympus PEN PL-2.

Would be great if anyone can offer some advice on this, thank you!

Dropping Bio for SPM?

xAoiSora — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 21:40:24 +0800

Hi, I know this question has been asked before but I never really found any answer relevant to me. I currently have 10 subjects for SPM, and one of them is Bio. I know Bio is easy, but I'm not very good in memorization and I have absolutely no interest in it. I'm already pretty firm about furthering my studies in Computer Science/IT, which has nothing to do with Bio at all.

If I choose to drop Bio, I will have much more time to focus on the other subjects I'm weak at, and because my school set a minimum of 10 subjects per person, I will be taking EST instead. Any advice on whether it is wise to drop it?

I'm pretty sure I won't be able to get an A for it, so it'll just spoil my results in the end. Bearing in mind that I have no interest in Bio and don't need it in the career path I pick (even if I do change, it will have nothing to do with Bio), do you think its okay for me to drop it?

Thanks in advance!

Unregistered SAL

xAoiSora — Sat, 06 Nov 2010 13:13:56 +0800

Hi, has anybody here used unregistered SAL before? I have a parcel coming next week and was wondering where they will put it if I'm not at home. I live in a condominium, and I heard that unregistered SAL doesn't require your signature to be received. Will they just put the parcel at my door, or downstairs in the roomful of postboxes, or will I have to collect it from the post office as usual?

Any help appreciated! Sorry I posted this before in another thread but there was no reply and I urgently need one. ^^"
