Changing career into Tech/IT

BubblyFish — Fri, 18 Jan 2019 10:03:20 +0800

I am currently working in a small financial audit firm. I have interest in IT. I found out about CompTIA recently and wondering if it can help me advance my career in the tech world. How can I combine my financial audit's experience to tech now?

I have researched about CISA but do not know if it's good in Malaysia.

Is it possible for me to leap into IT sector completely now? Is completing a degree necessary?

BubblyFish — Tue, 15 Jan 2019 08:23:16 +0800

Apparently this guy already has a girlfriend but he still send messages like "Miss ya alot", "where did u go", but of course i didnt entertain much.

Just curious to know what these guys are thinking. Would appreciate flirter's contribution to this thread too lol. Do good guys really finish last?

Anxious/preoccupied attachment style

I am one of the people with anxious/preoccupied attachment style. If you read this article, it perfectly describes my personality:

... but I must stop, right? I've been thinking about this for weeks and have severely impacted my concentration in work (able to finish ONLY ONE TASK from 8am to 12am) ,part time studies (which I have stopped studying completely) and I cannot sleep properly.

Have anyone with the same attachment style as me? How do you grow your inner security and stop depending on your boyfriend? I can't take this anymore.

BB cream or Foundation?

BubblyFish — Sun, 14 Dec 2014 01:45:26 +0800

Hi all, i have been doing research on how to apply a simple makeup, without all the concealer foundation powder thing.... I just want to have minimal coverage on my skin as my skin pores are quite large, and abit of acne scars. I'm a total newbie in makeup and I want to learn it now because I have a date in the coming days... For those who go out with BF (casual date), how do you apply your makeup? SHARE PLEASE!

All the tutorials in youtube, google, advise us to use TONS amount of foundation.. concealer (Omg did she just scoop one spoon of concealer out and apply on her face??) I have found another simple way which is to use BB cream then set with loose powder. I'm gonna try that~ have anyone experienced doing makeup without foundation and concealer?

And another problem is eyeliner. Do you apply eyeliner without eyeshadow and mascara? 8/10 recommends eye shadow + mascara but I am that girl who just wan to put everything on with 5 minutes and that's it.. if you apply eyeliner without eyeshadow, what colour?

I accept other kinds of recommendations too. (Maybe i should be more hardworking at this but I have limited budget)

Do you wear knee-high socks?

BubblyFish — Wed, 03 Dec 2014 15:37:26 +0800

Something like this

I am interested in wearing knee-high socks but... I have not seen any Malaysians wearing it...

If yes, how do you match them with your outfit? Whether your answer is yes or no, just share your opinion about knee-high socks!

Milk alternatives?

BubblyFish — Mon, 05 May 2014 16:10:56 +0800

I have been reading alot about Cow's milk and many claims that milk is essential for bone growth, some claim that milk is bad for you, may cause bone loss even more and milk is a great breeding ground for cancer cells. There is a thread about this already: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/660163?hl=milk%20alternative

I myself cut down on milk totally. When I drink milk, I get bloating and pimples start to pop out all over my face. When I stop drinking them, my digestion improved and pimples were gone. In the above article mentioned by 4Ring, this is caused by milk being pasteurized, not to blame the milk itself. Recently, I bought a book called "The Beauty Detox Solution", the author said we should avoid dairy at all cost.

I am scared of getting osteoporosis so I want to get sufficient calcium. The alternatives of milk I found are almond milk. May I know if anyone is drinking almond milk? Can you please recommend me the brand and where can I get almond milk? Even Country Farms doesn't sell those...

Not knowing which course to take

BubblyFish — Mon, 24 Mar 2014 17:38:59 +0800

I've been reading about computer hardware, software since secondary school. Whenever my friend, my family have problems regarding their computer/phone stuff they would approach me. I'm interested in fixing a computer, if I don't understand how to fix one I won't give up and give-in-all until I fix it.

Not knowing what to do after my secondary school I entered into accounting degree but my grades...are around C and D only. I have zero knowledge in accounting because I wasn't from commerce stream in sec school. I will admit that I did not study. I get tired easily when doing accounting work and get frustrated from time to time.

My parents want me to continue accounting because it's easier to find jobs than IT. Should I continue studying accounting (What I don't like) or apply for IT (What I enjoy doing)?

(Or study accounting and become an accountant in an IT company, that would be cool too)

Another singer had her diet plan like this.

Is this even possible? I would become a hungry zombie eating everything I see in sight...

Blue screen and slow loading

BubblyFish — Tue, 21 Jan 2014 12:34:36 +0800

Was doing stuff normally then suddenly,hangs (able to move mouse cursor) followed by blue screen. I couldn't tell which error code it is as it restarts very fast after that. After blue screen appeared for the first time, it could not find my HDD in Boot Manager (BIOS). After I reset my lappy, it says bootmgr corrupted, which I could not boot into Windows at all.

But sometimes it can detect tho.. I did fixmbr so my Windows is back.

1) If BIOS can detect my HDD, I can boot into my OS but it takes around 10+ minutes just to boot up, unable to do anything productive as it lags very badly, clicking on Start takes another 2 minutes. After long usage, it will either go into another blue screen or just freeze there forever (still able to move mouse cursor). Blue screen appears on safe mode as well.

2) If BIOS cannot detect...nothing...Boot Manager just shows Network Boot and CDROM.

Is this a sign of a failing HDD? But other than that, what other factors cause this?
(Passed memtest using Ubuntu's memtest, am sure RAM is not the cause)
(HDD fall back to PIO? I heard that primary HDD will enable DMA on its own)

This is my specs:
Acer Aspire 4830T Intel Core i3
2GB DDR3 RAM
Intel HD Graphics 821 DVM
500GB HDD Toshiba (forgot model number)
Windows 7 Starter

Any sifu can help?

Slim, but fat

BubblyFish — Tue, 21 Jan 2014 11:16:17 +0800

I may look very slim (underweight) but I have very flabby body especially upper body. People tell me that I should eat more but when I eat a lot, stomach starts getting bigger that is why I usually eat just a little. I wish to exercise more but I am not sure where to start.

1) Here's what I eat during normal day:

Morning: One cup of oatmeal + one apple
Afternoon: Takeaway white rice + vegetable, one piece of chicken meat
Night: Skip white rice, vegetable + one apple

Am I eating too little?

2) I have a swimming pool near my place, can swimming help tone my body? I am still learning though.. still a student therefore I cannot afford a gym membership. Other than swimming, what other exercises can help toning my body?

Thank you for taking your time to read this Advice are appreciated
