Public transport noob, need help with bus route

nisbahmumtaz — Sun, 10 May 2015 14:33:38 +0800

So, I've been planning a bit of Genting Highland hangout with my old friends, and we're really really... stingy. So we want to cut corners as much as possible, to maximize the location spending money. Transport is an easy thing to cut out, so we decided to go by bus. Those bastards decided to put me on route planning, so I have to study our routing.

We all live in the KL area, and I heard that the bus from One Utama (OU) goes to Genting real easy. Please note that the only time I've ever rode a bus was in New York, and that's like a one time thing. So, just some questions from me:

1. Do we need a ticket or anything, or is it one of those coin-operated bus?
2. How do we know when to stop at a destination? Do we press a button on the bus or something?
3. What's the bus travel time from OU to Genting, generally?
4. Coming back, is it the same-ish process?
5. Where ARE the bus stops in OU that goes to Genting? Or is any of them fine?

Thanks for your help. Love you guysss

[WTB] High end mechanical pencil

Something like Pentel GraphGear 1000 or Rotring 500. Preferably 0.5mm lead, but 0.7 is okay I think. Can't really spare too much money, but if you have Rotring 800 with good price, I'll consider it too. Can spend max RM100.

[WTB] Pure sheet metal (zinc and magnesium)

nisbahmumtaz — Tue, 25 Feb 2014 11:48:26 +0800

Item(s): Just some metals. Zinc and magnesium, mainly.

Dealing method:Banking in + poslaju preferred.

It's very hard to find raw material providers locally. I don't really have the time to wait for shipping online, and it's hard to trust international dealers with these kind of things. It's for personal projects, that's why I'm not ordering from Alibaba or anything.

[WTB] DDR3 1333MHz Laptop/SODIMM RAM, 1 stick 4GB

nisbahmumtaz — Sat, 26 Jan 2013 12:23:27 +0800

I can't drive, so I'll pay for courier too, if you guys live outside of KL.

I have an empty slot in my laptop, and I could use another stick of RAM to run AutoCAD.
Also, I will need DDR3 1333MHz RAM.

The problem is, I have no clue how to run dual channel RAM on a laptop, so while I do some research, you can PM me your price.

Needed extra info: Age of RAM, photo of RAM.

Thanks.

Serious question about Paypal <> Payza trade in LY

nisbahmumtaz — Tue, 31 Jul 2012 13:40:45 +0800

This is the premise;

I logged on into my old paypal account to find that I have around 70USD left from my affiliate days.
However, ebay's items are total crud, and Amazon is way better. I could buy a used Wii for 60+ USD in Amazon, but they only accept Payza/Alertpay.

Is it allowed in lowyat for me to:

1. Find a person who has 70USD in their Payza and wants to trade for my 70USD in Paypal.
2. That person sends 3-5USD to my Payza, and I do the same to his Paypal, to initiate a deposit of some sort.
3. We keep going until both parties are satisfied.

I could really use some help here. I'm pretty dumb about these things. Thanks.

Hey mangs. Could use a little help.

Anybody know a cheap game shop that does repairs around TTDI area?
I'm not interested in getting lost just to fix a gaming console, so I'd like a store that's close by.
I would opt for a store in One Utama, but the prices there are...to be frank, unsuitable for me.
Besides, I only blew a fuse in the PS2, and I respect Murphy's Law to the point where I won't even try to fix it myself.

Either you're an avid traveler or a self-promoting dude, I sure could use some recommendations!
I'll check back in an hour. Thanks a lot in advance.

Guys, I need help with something important!

My 16GB Memory Stick was physically damaged (the top part came loose, and now it cannot be detected), but the NAND memory inside is still fine.

Is there a service in Malaysia that can read and restore files with a NAND memory reader?
I really don't want to lose all those data.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllpppppppppp!

This "jericho1594" guy really got me...

nisbahmumtaz — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:52:27 +0800

Here's the original thread. Note that it's been a month since...
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2172132

His username is, well; jericho1594

He offered me his used IDE PS2 network adapter for RM100.

After much discussion with him on 1st Jan, I immediately deposited RM90 into his back account the next day, which is on 2nd Jan.
Right then, I sent him a text message, saying something along the lines of "Here's your RM90. I hope you got it."
He never replied.

Not wanting to suspect him of anything, I exchanged friendly but hinting messages to him. Not getting him at all, I decided to message him on Lowyat.
Again, I put on a congenial yet firm tone to my message, and sent it to him on 6th Jan.
Yeah, he replied, but just saying things like "Oh i see! Okay :-) yeah happy new year too!".

I stayed patient for a while. It's not like I am out of money or anything.
After I nudged him again on Jan 10th, he finally replied at Jan 12th, asking me for my address. and an extra RM10.
I'll admit, I felt pretty stupid then for not realizing that I haven't gave him my postal address. He also wanted the RM10 for postage fee. Okay.
So I gave him my address, and tumpang my brother for the nearest bank to deposit the RM10. I did all that on 14th Jan.
And again, I sent him a reminder, to enlighten him of the fact that I've given the cash.

I messaged him on 14th, 16th, 19th, and 20th of Jan just to nab his attention. I'm fully aware that he's been online throughout the given dates.
However, the PS2 network adapter was all I could think of at the moment, so I'm sort of an idiot for not realizing that he's actually dodging my messages.
Finally, on 20th Jan, he messaged me that he was busy with CNY.
That's when my fuse blew. Is it really THAT much of a hassle to simply post something???
Not being logical at that moment, I decided to give him grace time up to February.
And so, I continued to bug him about my item on 29th Jan, 31st Jan, and 1st Feb.

Just before all hope was lost, he replied to me on 1st Feb, claiming that he sent the item a week ago(in this case, around 25-26th Jan or so.)
Luckily, I'm not that blind about business matters, and asked why didn't he give me a tracking number.
Until this day, I've never heard another reply from him.
Pretty long post, for such a small matter. So, jericho1594, if you still want your bank number safe from the eyes of millions of Lowyat users, please, let's solve this. Like gentlemen. We can even be friends again after this. So, what do you say?
