Where can I get a steady and safe 5% a year?

stanny — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 11:10:08 +0800

What are some best ways to get a steady 5-6% a year on my money? Would prefer if there's the flexibility of monthly FDs which means my cash is liquid and I can withdraw anytime without losing any. But I understand that might be difficult, so perhaps, a little "unflexible" also alright say looking at more short term 3-6 months but I would not want to commit my cash yearly. I understand Unit trusts and all that have fees and stuff so if let's say I put my money in short term 3 months and take out, I lose out anyway.

Assembling own computer easy?

stanny — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 17:05:22 +0800

I've never assembled my own computer before. Is it easy to do? I would like to build my own gaming rig in the very near future but I don't know if I should get the list of parts, go to the shop and let them assemble it. It would be more fun to definitely try it out on my own to understand more about computers.

stanny — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 05:05:25 +0800

Hi there, I am on prepaid account trying to get GPRS for my Blackberry. I think it's auto configured cause the EDGE sign appears top right. However, I can't use the internet. I called the call center and they said that I can't use GPRS on Blackberry devices as prepaid. There must be someway to do this as any other normal phone can. Any idea?

Possible to learn the classical Piano by myself?

stanny — Sat, 24 Dec 2005 21:44:04 +0800

As topic, is it possible to learn to play the classical piano by myself? Through books for example.

I have tried to learn to play the piano on and off for a couple of months but sometime later I will always get the urge to learn it again. However, instead of going somewhere every week to learn from a teacher I thought of this different approach. I thought of buying my own electronic / digital piano and get some books.

By the way, would it be advisable in this situation to get one of those keyboards as a substitute for the real classical piano? The keyboard doesn't have a pedal. Some do come with an entire set I guess with the chair and pedal. Any suggestions here?

I have intrest in works from Bach and mostly Chopin. To play like them has always been something I dream of. So anyone with recommendations please shoot them this way. Oh yeah, I have close to no music theory knowledge and I'm 20, if that helps.

Thanks!
