Which hair dryer produces the least noise?

Fortezan — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 16:16:22 +0800

My wife wakes up earlier than me and every time she turns on the hair dryer, it will jolt me awake from my sleep. I'm thinking of buying her a new hair dryer that produces the least noise, the current Panasonic model she is using is just too loud. The Dyson model I tried in their shop isn't exactly as quiet as I had hope for, the noise level is probably similar to some cheaper Panasonic Ionic model I tried. Anyone tried the one from Xiaomi? How's the noise level? Any other brand to recommend?

24yo mistakenly received over RM 1 Million

A 24-year-old man mistakenly received an entire Japanese town's COVID-19 relief money. He kept the cash and disappeared.

I wonder how many 24yo would be honest enough to return the money. He probably flee to some ASEAN country where that kind of money can go a long way.

Micro SD card type for action camera

Fortezan — Fri, 11 Aug 2017 14:02:45 +0800

Went to buy a micro sd card for my new SJ4000 action cam and the sales guy keep pushing me to buy the more expensive type (SanDisk Extreme Plus) which he says is more suitable for action camera, but cost almost double than normal micro sd card. Wondering can I just use the normal Class 10 (80MB/s) micro sd card since I'm probably just going to use it once or twice a year when I go snorkeling during beach holidays?
Sales guy told me the normal type is useless with action camera and easily spoiled.

Not quite sure how to interpret this news report, the report says banks will likely have to cut their base rates, and consequently the effective lending rates, does this means our loan interest rate will be lower?

Working in LCCT. Puchong or Seri Kembangan?

Fortezan — Mon, 10 Sep 2012 12:25:09 +0800

Hi guys,

I will be working in LCCT soon. Would like to know which area will be a better place to stay that is easy to travel (by car) to LCCT daily? Preferbly a place with less traffic congestion and less toll.

I'm currently looking at Puchong or Seri Kembangan as these two seems like the nearest township to LCCT. Which do you think is better? Any better place to suggest?

Thanks a lot guys!

Moving from Penang to KL for an extra RM2K?

Fortezan — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 19:54:19 +0800

For those of you who have experience working in Penang and KL before, do you think it's worth moving from Penang to KL for an extra RM2K on your current basic salary?

I've been working in Penang ever since I graduated, but recently I got a job offer in KL which is RM2K more than my current salary, and it's also a promotion from my current level.

Suppose you're single and does not have any family commitment, do you think it's worth moving to KL? Is the cost of living in KL significantly higher than Penang?

Btw, the new job offer is somewhere near KLCC.
