Bought chicken Prosperity, packaging says "chicken", inside got beef Prosperity. Bought 2, same shit.
McD should stop releasing beef once the chicken is out to avoid confusion! their staffs aren't the smartest people in the world who can't even differentiate between chicken and beef.

N00b question on 0% CC Installment

Mr Ez — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 06:57:44 +0800

You know when you go to big electrical store like Courts they got this 0% installment plan with credit card right?

Let says if I wanna buy something that is RM 1, 200 with 12 months installment plan.
The question that I have is, will they charge RM 1, 200 or RM 100 on the first payment?

The real scenario is that I wanna RM 6K TV, my credit limit is only RM 5k, if they charge full price for the initial payment, that means I wont be able to buy that TV.

Thanks.

Lost my I/C

Mr Ez — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 22:00:33 +0800

So I lost my I/C today, suspected stolen, made a police report, the police said I have to pay around RM 200 to the JPN when requesting to make new one, I was like for real? he said ya cuz gamen increase the price so we all take it as a lesson.

I doubt that policeman, he seemed like a joker to me, so anyone lost their I/C recently? any idea how much I have to pay to make new one?

Thanks.

Borang BE 2008

Mr Ez — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 11:20:14 +0800

I got this form about 1 and half month ago. Problem is I don't understand how to fill it in, even though instructions are given, I'm still confuse.
Need to send the form by the end of this month, I don't feel like filling it up, can I just ignore it? what will happen if I ignore it?

My mum said just fill up as much as you can and send it.
I don't understand why I have to fill up such complicated form, my basic pay is 2.5k so by right no tax deduction, but with performance bonus it get's higher than 2.5k, when I look at my payslip the tax deduction is there, so what's the deal with the form now?

I'm sorry for being noob, I just started working like 1 and half year ago.

Hi all,

I think it's about time I need to get a new chargeable battery for my wireless controller, the xbox battery pack is dying as it takes about 9 hours just to fully charge it and it's dead after 3 days regardless if I'm using it or not.

So I need some recommendation here, I'm thnking about buying those chargeable AA battery like the Energizer one.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Building cheap PC

Mr Ez — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 06:13:44 +0800

Hello fellas,

I am about to build a cheap low end PC by the end of this month to replace my ancient Pentium III 800mhz.
Any feedback/comment are much appreciated.

Here are my target:

Note:
All parts are from All IT Hypermart, except for the cassing which is from Cycom.
No worries about RAM and graphic card, I will upgrade them in the future as I see fit.

Noob concerns:
1. Does that cassing really comes with PSU as stated in Cycom catalogue? or do I have to pay extra for the PSU?
http://www.coolermaster.com/products/produ...tbcate=17&id=30
http://images.lowyat.net/pricelist/cycom.pdf

2. Does the 380W PSU sufficient? or maybe I should go for 420W?

3. How do I know that Mobo is compatible with the cassing?

4. Installing the processor into the Mobo is as easy as sticking them in right? no need any thermal paste or anything?

Thanks in advance.

Printing issue

Mr Ez — Sat, 13 Jan 2007 15:54:45 +0800

Hi everyone, I am still new in Adobe Illustrator, thanks to my colleague who taught me how to use it last month. She is outstation at the moment, so I have to deal with some of her job now.

Previously I did a backdrop design of 10x5 feet for my company, we outsource the print job because we don't have a printer to print the artwork that is as huge as a human height.

Right now I'm doing some sort of a annual report book design. I have problem when printing my artwork using Adobe Illustrator CS2. I set my artwork as A4 size when starting a new artwork, so when printed I expect the output would look the same as what I designed on my screen. Apparently it's not. There's a blank portion on the edge of the A4 paper. I'll let the example pictures do the talking.

in Illustrator in looked like this:

When printed it looked like this:

I hope any pros here can help me with this issue.
