CC payment but Bank claim not cleared

drewn123 — Sat, 24 Jan 2026 22:11:28 +0800

Hi, wanna ask if anyone encountered this before.

Transferred $$ from Maybank2u as Duitnow payment to HSBC Credit Card payment on 17 Jan. 2days after transactions, its reflected in my HSBC app.

However, when HSBC billing cycle is yesterday. The statement and the HSBC app no longer have the payment made on 17Jan.

- There is no reversal on my Maybank2u, called maybank. They say transaction is successful
- Checked with HSBC, they confirm no pending payment

Basically, $$$ is deducted in Maybank but no payment reflected in HSBC. Anyone can give me idea on what to do??

Weird PC restart

drewn123 — Wed, 05 May 2021 01:16:12 +0800

I just bought a PC last 3 week, initially no issue for me as I was using it mainly for Office Powerpoint (rushing for presentation). Until I started to install some games Steam Dota2, World of Tanks after I settled my slides.

The PC will suddenly restart without warning during launching of game or immediately after loading. I run stress test with Intel XTU, sometime no issue sometime restart abruptly. But definitely restart within a few minutes if I run both Furmark + Intel XTU CPU stress test concurrently.

I checked my eventviewer - its kernel power event 41

I've sent the PC to the shop, but after a few days it turned out to be no issue found. I run both the Furmark+Intel XTU stress test at the shop, it performed well throughout the test with no restart or error. Problem is, this issue only happen at my home.

PC connected to a single wall plug via UPS in air conditioned room.

Below are my specs, FYI

intel 10700
coolermaster 212 evo
gigabyte aorus z490
asus TUF gtx1650
2 x 8gb DDR4
1 x 1T M.2 Nvme
1 x 240G M.2 Sata
Coolermaster MWE700 PSU

PS, i suspected my PSU faulty prior to sending the PC back and expecting that it is the issue. Unfortunately, its fine as I stress-test and play a few round of games (almost 1 hr) at the shop to test the PC before taking it back to home

Anyone have this kind of weird issue?

My house had just started it's renovation last week. After lurking around in renovations forums such as /k/ and others for 8-9 months, asking around and getting quotations.

Have anyone repaired their Genuine Rays wheels???

I know that those normal Taiwan rims can be repaired due to it's different use of metals and alloys.

Hit a damn pothole while cruising around 60-70km/h..... As I know, my rim is Cast from Aluminium. I searched around and many comments says that aluminium is harder to repair, some say it cannot be heat treated....

AD08 or RE002 for 225/40R18

drewn123 — Wed, 26 Dec 2012 12:35:05 +0800

Anyone can give feedback regarding which 1 to choose? Since my 18' Michelin PS3 around 20-30% ... Asked the pricing for the size of 225/40R18 ald;-

Michelin PS3 - $880 /pc
Yoko AD08 - $980 /pc
BStone RE002 - $ 990 /pc

Actually wanna settle for Toyo T1-R but toyo seems to have QC problem with it's sidewall..... RE001 used b4 and damn satisfied with the grip, never tried advan ad07 or ad08 b4.... PS3 okay for normal usage, but since the the pricing is quite similar so consider the other 2 options. Thanks
