Chinese love songs 现代情歌

Mr_AhZan — Wed, 08 Oct 2014 05:58:48 +0800

So guys, can any of you recommend me sad Chinese love songs? I haven't been exposed to them in a while.

You know, the typical songs you listen to when you "emo".

Example of my taste: - 明明就（周杰伦）、听见下雨的声音（周杰伦）、内伤（林建辉）、情歌（梁静茹）、可惜不是你（梁静茹） and the list goes on...

Mac Chinese Input

Mr_AhZan — Tue, 30 Sep 2014 01:12:54 +0800

So in the past, when I used the default Mac Chinese input system, and I type my name, e.g. "wen xiao zhong" and selected 温小忠, the next time i type these pinyins those three words will appear as the first choice. However recently, it just doesn't remember the words I used to or always type.

Another example, as i type 珍旎 now, if i type the same pinyin again, it will show as the first choice. but after a period of time, this choice doesn't appear.

Sorry if I sounded confusing and for the bad English, but this is really causing inconvenience to me! Appreciate the help guys!

USPS mail to Malaysia

Mr_AhZan — Sat, 13 Sep 2014 02:15:02 +0800

Hey guys! Not sure if this is the correct section to ask but, I'm a Malaysian studying in United States (Chicago btw) right now.

I want to write and send a letter to my friend in Malaysia (I know, who still writes letter at this day and age?), so I was wondering how long does it typically take, for a letter, not a parcel or package of stuff, to reach Malaysia?

Btw I'm sending it to Kuching, Sarawak. Appreciate all help and guidance, thanks!

Cheap tickets to U.S. ?

Mr_AhZan — Thu, 04 Sep 2014 11:15:07 +0800

Hey guys! So I'm a student with F-1 Visa status studying right now in Chicago.

I have a winter break from December 17th to January 9th, which is approximately 23 days? I wish to go back to Kuching, Sarawak!

I googled and the cheapest round-trip airfare I found was $2300 which is too expensive!

Any of you expert here who've traveled or travels frequently to the U.S. know airlines that are cheap?

Really appreciate the help!!

Travel route to Chicago?

Mr_AhZan — Wed, 16 Apr 2014 12:08:57 +0800

So... I've been accepted by one of the universities in Chicago.

In their letter it says better not to arrive before 16th August 2014, as residence halls will only be open by 8.00 a.m.

I don't have people around me who are experienced in travelling to the States so I had the idea of asking here.

If I'm suppose to reach there AFTER 8am on 16th August but before 4pm on that day, when should I fly?

Also, which travel route is usually cheaper? ( I'm from Kuching )

I assume I'll have to go from Kuching to K.L.? But I've heard there's also a route where you can go from Kuching to Singapore then to the U.S. from there?

Besides that, there might not even be flights on the date I prefer, so it's actually been quite troublesome for me...

U.S. F-1 Visa?

Mr_AhZan — Wed, 16 Apr 2014 10:39:40 +0800

Hey people! So I've just been accepted by Moody Bible Institute of Chicago, Illinois in the U.S.

I should be heading there by 16th August, however I need to apply for a F-1 Visa first and I hope any of you, or your friends, who have had experience in this can guide me and supply me information of what you know?

As in, is the interview hard? How long does it take for them to approve your VISA? What kind of questions do they ask you in the interview? Etc, etc...

Oh ya. If this information will help, I'm enrolling for a Pastoral Studies degree (5 year B.A./M.A. degree).

Thanks in advance!

Games recommendation?

Mr_AhZan — Thu, 13 Mar 2014 14:40:53 +0800

Well, what's up everyone! Nice to meet you all.

So... I'm totally new to this 3DS community. In fact, my 3DS device is still on its way here (courier shipping)

The main reason I bought a 3DS, I believe like some others, is to play Pokemon X/Y.

Now I'm looking for other games to play so I am seeking recommendations from experts like you all

I like adventurous/RPG games, and also lite multiplayer games.

As you know, 3DS games are quite expensive (average about RM130), so I can only buy a few.

Currently on my list:
- Pokemon Y (DUH)
- Tales of the Abyss (played it years ago on PS2, loved it and wish to play it again)
- Mario Kart 7 (heard recommendations and reviews)
- and probably Kingdom Hearts:Dream Drop Distance? (never played KH before, but people seem to be obsessed over it so wanna give it a try)

Just list your favourite game and state your reason for obsession over it. Thanks and have a nice day
