Best reference books for CIE A-Level?

IggyBug — Wed, 25 Mar 2015 22:12:11 +0800

Hi. I'm currently studying CIE A-Level at Methodist College KL. I'm taking Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Maths. I'm wondering if any of you who is taking/already taken A-Level can recommend good reference books for the above subjects. I have Cambridge coursebooks for Biology and Chemistry, but the Chemistry one is not very useful. I also have the Hodder textbook for Physics which is also not very useful. Also, where can I find printed past year questions with answers for the subjects? It'll even be better if they're arranged by topics.

Best Service Provider for Prepaid Mobile Internet?

IggyBug — Tue, 10 Dec 2013 23:51:10 +0800

Hi. I am looking for a prepaid plan which is the best for using mobile internet. I was using DiGi Best Prepaid with the monthly RM18/300MB. I don't use too much internet and 300MB is enough for me. However, I don't call or text much so having an extra RM12 in my account is quite pointless. I know of the RM30 for extending validity for one year, however I would like to ask if there's a better alternative to this, such as a different provider. All I want is to use internet as much as 300 MB a month is enough. Is there another plan or provider which offers a plan which I can reload just the amount I need for internet for a whole month?

Jade Mattress Scam

IggyBug — Fri, 22 Nov 2013 15:30:44 +0800

Last week my mum received a coupon from a young man who then told her she had won a special prize, among only 200 others in Malaysia. She had hesitated at first, but then the man called back and begged her to come receive the prize because he will receive a commission from the lucky draw, which he needs for his newborn son. My mum brought along RM 10,000, which they need for some serial checking (I wasn't sure why that was necessary, and didn't know she brought that much money). She told me to tag along. While there, they had my mum sign a contract, and after that they took my mum's RM 10,000, and assured her they would return it. After that, it was revealed that my mum won a jade mattress. The prize required payment, which was that RM 10,000, so they would not return my mum's money. My mum told them that she didn't notice the jade mattress, and afterwards she told me that she felt like she didn't really know what was going on that time. I wanted to tell her about it, but I thought she knew what she was doing. So we received the jade mattress, along with two complimentary gifts from their company, which didn't even have a brand name, but lost RM 10,000. My mum didn't want it, and so the guy offered to sell it, with a return of 10% commission. After we got home, I did some research on the web, and found that this was actually all a scam, and that mattress didn't even worth RM 500. I wonder if anyone else here had this experience, and what should we do now. My mum didn't want to lodge report to the police, because she thinks it's troublesome, and was scared because the scammers had her details. I also had a picture of that guy, whose name is Kevin something. Oh and btw, we are in Kuantan.

Which eReader to use in Malaysia

IggyBug — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 16:20:25 +0800

Hello, I love reading and would like to buy myself an eReader. I have narrowed down my choice to a Kindle Paperwhite or a Nook Simpletouch with Glowlight. These items are not sold in Malaysia but I have found some resellers. However, the problem comes when buying ebooks because of what I know you can only use an American credit card for both Amazon and Barnes & Noble. I found this guide here http://www.keithrozario.com/2012/04/kindle...oks-amazon.html but I'm not sure if it's working or not. There's also http://kindlemalaysia.com/ but they want a RM20 processing fee to convert my cash into Amazon Giftcards. I'm not sure about Nook. What do you guys use? Or maybe there's a different eReader that's perhaps better and easier to use here in Malaysia?

How to forward a port on my router for utorrent?

IggyBug — Sat, 09 Mar 2013 23:07:01 +0800

Hi. I'm using a TM DLINK-2640B and my download speed in uTorrent is tremendously slow (around 10 kbps). uTorrent shows that my port is not open so thats probably why my speed is so slow. But I can't find the option for forwarding port in the router page only something called 'port triggering'. This is what I did. The port I'm using is 58237.

Thanks for your help.

A question about Runes of Magic...

IggyBug — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 17:12:55 +0800

So, I downloaded Runes of Magic from the USA site (http://www.runesofmagic.com/en/index.html), the advanced one with over 6 GB. But then after installing the game I only realized that you can't register from the USA site. I looked up for the Malaysian website (http://rom.runup.com.my), it won't let me register as the pop-up window keeps showing "System maintaining,please try again later" forever. I tried registering from the RupUp website, but I can't seem to "apply for a free account", when my mouse hovers over it, just shows "temporary open" and I can't click on it. So, can somebody please help out? Thanks a dozen.
