How to learn Malay for free?

basim96 — Tue, 03 Feb 2015 16:31:01 +0800

Hi I've moved to Malaysia a few months ago and I'm starting to have an interest in learning Malay. I've noticed there's many disadvantages of not being able to speak the language. When I'm selling stuff online, usually a customer calls me and starts speaking in Malay, and when I tell them that I don't speak Malay they aren't interested anymore. Also when I take the cab, I think it would be easier explaining to the cab drivers in Malay as sometimes they have a hard time understanding the directions. I'm a quick learner and I speak Arabic and I've noticed that Malay has some words that are similar to Arabic, so I think I can pick it up pretty quickly. Is there any way of learning for free as a hobby? I found a few websites online that have very limited resources and lessons. I'm thinking I might pick up a book that teaches Malay, any suggestions on which book to get?

Does anyone want to order Mi Piston 2 earphones?

basim96 — Sat, 31 Jan 2015 22:36:33 +0800

I'm thinking of ordering Mi in ear headphones (link below). If I order one i'll have to pay a total of 65rm, 50+15 shipping, Xiaomi has a free shipping policy for items over 100rm so if I order two ill pay a total of 100rm 50+50. So if anyone wants to order a pair with me, just let me know and I'll message you.

Is Astro BroadBand reliable?

basim96 — Mon, 26 Jan 2015 19:07:57 +0800

So I am currently using UNIFI 5 mbps but I'm thinking of upgrading to 10mbps Astro because I already have the TV subscription with Astro. Monthly I'm paying 150 rm for the UNIFI 5mbps connection but if I switch to Astro 10mbps broadband I will be paying 123rm per month. Can you guys tell me your experiences with Astro and if you can screenshot your speed tests that would be great. Do you think I should switch or not?

Question for Xbox one owners

basim96 — Sun, 30 Nov 2014 12:59:04 +0800

Ok guys so I recently sold my Xbox 360 which I owned for so many years and I loved that console for the online experience I had but recently since I moved to Malaysia I'm wondering if I buy an Xbox one will the online connection be bad since there aren't plenty of Xbox one users in Asia ( taking a guess). So my question is how is your online experience? Is it very laggy and unstable or can you find decent servers easily. I also owned a PS3 but I didn't enjoy the online experience and sold it within 6 months
